Deploy AICaptcha data collection
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

See T183869: Collect AICaptcha data from WikimediaEvents extension and m:Research:Spambot detection via registration page behavior for context, and T183991: UI for notifying users about data collection for the UI. Plan is to deploy to group1 on Monday and group2 on Tuesday. The first step involves backporting MediaWiki-extensions-WikimediaEvents and MediaWiki-extensions-Campaigns patches to the active WMF branch; the second is just a config change.

Adding Performance-Team for visibility. The patch pulls in OOUI core for the popup widget, which adds ~50K (after gzip) Javascript to the registration page, which means almost doubling the size of the page. (This is done on desktop only.) Assuming this is not a big deal since it has to be done sooner or later anyway due to T85853.

Monitoring is tracked in T185870. The logging code is planned to be live for about a month.

Was disabled in 2018 September and undeployed in 2019 January.

Actually let's make that group1 on Monday (with some manual testing on group0 first). I doubt there would be anyone to tell us if we did something questionable to the group0 registration pages.

D'oh, forgot to tag this for Tech News attention. Better late than never... the suggested text would be something like Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots. Find out more.

This was done on Tuesday, but still needs follow-ups:

  • improve notice layout, per T183991#3956563
  • verify that ServerSideAccountCreation logging was fixed (tracked in T185870)

@Tgr Please consider deploying on https://deployment.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page too -- that wiki is non-stop spambots.

Tgr added a comment.Feb 20 2018, 7:44 PM

We did, but it's probably not terribly useful due to T185952: EventLogging broken in beta.

This project has seen no activity for over half a year, I have other priorities for the next half year at least, and even though it has been disabled, the module manifest still takes up some small amount of bandwith. Let's fully undeploy for now, it can be re-added later if there is interest and time.
