Description

We'd like to know what the effect of introducing Suggested Edits has been on Android. Questions:

  • Do users who start editing using SE continue to edit elsewhere - for example, on mobile web or desktop?
    • If so, what types of things do they edit? (Articles? Structured data? Main page?)
  • Do users who start editing using SE go on to edit other things within the Android app - article edits, for example?

Someone who "starts editing on SE" means either someone who signed up for an account through the SE account creation workflow, or whose first edit is tagged as having been from SE.

mpopov lowered the priority of this task from Medium to Low.

@Charlotte: with Suggested Edits v2 coming out, is this task still valid? If it's not going to drive any decisions, let's close it?

@mpopov It's still interesting, and still has the potential to drive decisions - in this case, about progressive onboarding and other things we're doing later on in the year. So I am happy to delay this to Q3 (by which time we will have a richer dataset anyway), but the questions remain relevant, though in a different way.

@Charlotte closing since this hasn't come up as an ask again. If it's a need, can you reopen/revisit with @SNowick_WMF ?

Thanks @kzimmerman - re-opening because actually the question is relevant to our work with Growth now (I'd like to get a baseline before Q3 so we can see if our efforts are paying off) and have modified the description accordingly.

(Some of this data is relevant as a baseline for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T253982 but there will be a separate report for that request.)
