See parent task T202132: EPIC: Generate one-off metric snapshots for mobile editing documentation for more information on background and acceptance criteria.
What is the overall edit conversion rate—the percentage of edit sessions which reach the ready event where the edit ends up successfully saved—on desktop and mobile, and in the visual editor and wikitext editors?
Results
Among 5.6 million sessions sampled during May 2018:
| Desktop | Mobile | |
| Edit success | 22.7% | 2.7% |
| Edit aborted | 77.3% | 97.3% |
(sum of each item in the columns should add up to 100%)
| Metric | Desktop visual editor | Desktop wikitext editors |
| Edit success | 12.6% | 24.6% |
| Edit aborted | 87.4% | 75.4% |
| Metric | Mobile visual editor | Mobile wikitext editors |
| Edit success | 18.6% | 2.5% |
| Edit aborted | 81.4% | 97.5% |
Caveat: there were only 13 000 mobile visual editor sessions in the data set (0.2%), so the reliability of this data is limited.
Given how hard the visual editor is to find on mobile, and given that it's not the default anywhere, there may not be enough data to generate a reliable metric for the last table.
