I left a link on that talk page to presentation slides I did about this topic years ago, which may still be of some use.

@srijan Can you remind me what the status of the sketch is? I'm pretty sure we can resolve this since the survey is done and the information is collected. Are there private docs (because of the nature of this specific point), that we can link to, even if access to them is not possible? (I can turn this task to NDA access mode after you add the link).

@leila no problem in making the figure public. I can upload it somewhere if you need.

@srijan if you don't mind emailing it to me first, that'd be great. If it's super safe to share it, we should eventually put it on meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Sockpuppet_detection_in_Wikimedia_projects

Update: Srijan and I talked. There was a misunderstanding about what this task is about. We still need this to be done. :) If I understand correctly, T176379 was done to be able to do this task and get a better understanding of checkuser needs.

@CSteigenberger do you have time for the two of us to work together to summarize the survey results and also create a sketch? Both information, even in exaggerate, should be kept private, and only shared back with checkusers for their information.

@jrbs where is the place to store the aggregate result of T176379 as well as this sketch? :)

Sorry for the delay.

It refers to global checkuser habits, right? So we should find a space on meta, probably under the research namespace if that's still being used.

Can that information go to public pages, @jrbs? I /think/ there was some sensitivity around it?

Ah, sorry, that skipped my mind! Let me check.

Did Christel get back to you? Perhaps we should follow up by email since Phabricator is not really a part of our workflow (bearing in mind Christel is out today).

May also be good to get a preview so we can make a more informed opinion on whether it can be published.

Let's do this over email.

Update: I'm going to close this task as:

• We had a few discussions over this.
• The decision was to not fully document this process.
