Implementing logging to track how many checks people are being presented with on a per-edit-basis
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

During the team's 1 February meeting, we reviewed designs for a future state of Edit Check wherein there are multiple checks in place.

This led us to wonder whether there is a threshold beyond which the number of checks people are being presented with has a net negative experience on them and the wikis. Said another way: the number checks causes people to abandon, what might very well be, useful/productive edits.

In line with the above, this task involves the work of implementing the instrumentation necessary for us to know how many checks people are being presented with during a given edit, so that we can make decisions and answer questions like the ones listed below.

Decisions to be made/Questions to be answered

  • 1. Of the edits that people publish that are not reverted, how many edit checks, on average, are they presented with?
  • 2. Of the edits that people publish that are reverted, how many edit checks, on average, are they presented with?
  • 3. Of the edits that people start making and abandon before publishing, how many edit checks, on average, are they presented with?
