Sister project snippets: analysis of effect
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

After a few months (3 months minimum after June 15, 2017), let's take a deep dive into any/all effects of adding the sister projects to the search results pages on all wikis had on various stats, such as pageviews.

Event Timeline

This is a smaller amount of work for me. It's working with Deb to draft some publication of the results of the statistical analysis. Is that right @debt ?

Hmm, maybe my part should be a subtask of this one?

Yes, this won't be much for @CKoerner_WMF to do, at least not initially.

This ticket is for our team to do an analysis of the effects (at about the 3 month mark after deployment) of the sister project snippets being deployed to the search results page. Once we have the analysis done, we'll probably do a blog post and a posting to the email lists, after checking with Chris about his thoughts on the method of communication to the community.

Then yes, you'll need something you can own :)

Based on the sister project dashboard (http://discovery.wmflabs.org/metrics/#sister_search_traffic) it looks like traffic is fairly steady, so declining this ticket for further investigation.
