I'd like to have a cheaper mechanism for understanding the edit counts of the users who are switching and the types of page they are switching on by using statsv to count these occurrences and monitor this via a graph displayed on our reading web dashboard, so we can keep a close eye on it as part of our chores.
If we do a good job with AMC less people will have a need to switch.
While AMC is not starting any time soon, it would be good to establish a baseline as early as possible!
According to a daily hive query [1] there are 200, 834 switches from the mobile site to desktop on a given day (this includes non-js users which will be excluded from this data collection). I have checked with both performance and analytics teams and they seem happy with there being this sort of traffic.
Sign off steps
- Create a grafana table to track metrics for switches to desktop.
- Explore possibility of using this as a metric of succeeding for AMC project.
