[Config] Disable Page Previews EventLogging instrumentation
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

In T181493, it had been envisaged to disable the latest experiment eight days after enabling it. This had to be postponed because of the Hive refinement issues that were discovered (T182000) and the holidays, but by now we should have a sufficient amount of non-corrupted data collected.

The process should be the same as last time: T178500: Stop sending data for Page Previews enwiki and dewiki A/B test (again); a configuration only change.

Developer notes

Per T178500#3728898, we'd prefer not to disable the feature for those logged-in users who currently have it enabled via their preferences. We'll keep the anonymous enabled rates the same but turn off event logging:

$wgPopupsEventLogging = false;

Testing / acceptance criteria

  • A logged in user can enable page previews.
  • No events are logged.

Event Timeline

From discussion in grooming with @Tbayer

  • We have enough data, so it is up to us when to disable. Next week would be good, for example.

Setting PopupsEventLogging to false seems to be what's needed

We can pull it in now, I was waiting to confirm that we didn't have a bug in T182314: Analyze results of enwiki and dewiki page previews a/b test, but it's looking like we're fairly confident
