Track in-banner interactions using EventLogging
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

Some interactions in the banner are tracked with a low rate. We have been using our web analytics software for that and should now take a different approach, because requests to third-party servers are being prevented in test mode.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Our web analytics server is not requested by our banners.
  • An event logging schema is created.
  • The event logging schema takes information on the banner name and the action that was triggered.
  • The event logging schema is used, when one of the following actions are triggered by users:
    • Banner close button is clicked
    • Mobile mini banner is clicked to open the donation form
  • The event logging schema is used when the banner detects that it would be too big for the view part and does not display. It records the viewport size so we can create more responsive banners.
  • Banners on wikipedia.de still track the user interaction using our web analytics software.
  • Outdated trackings (search field, annual plan) are removed.

Notes
Event logging schemas are defined on the meta-wiki.

The schema is ready at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:WMDEBannerEvents and the code is prepared.

But to be able to use the schema for logging, its schema revision id needs to be introduced to the MediaWiki, either by adding it directly to the EN and DE Wikipedia configuration (see $wgEventLoggingSchemas) or by adding it to an extension. The most likely candidate for an extension would be https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikimediaEvents.

Since this now involves talking to 3rd parties, I'm putting this on hold.

@kai.nissen Could you talk to the right people and tell us where to place the schema revision?

@gabriel-wmde The events should be registered in Extension:WikimediaEvents. You can poke @Addshore for reviews.

I've put the event logging schema IDs into the WikimediaEvents extension definition and made a pull request. I've created a second schema for tracking the size issues.
