Audit special pages to identify hashing requirements
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Discussing T209454 with @kostajh, we found that it would be very useful to have an overview of all special pages, with a focus on whether they are reachable from an article or talk page (e.g. "View history"). In addition, let's aggregate the EditorJourney data we have so far and examine what special pages have been visited, to get a sense of whether there are patterns.

From there, we can then decide if there are special pages that need hashing of page titles.

Looks like there could be some synergy with the web team's work, see e.g. T198218 .

@Tbayer : that is very useful, thanks so much for bringing it to our attention!

Based on the findings in T198218, as well as checking what special pages are available from the interface on both desktop and mobile and going through the data logged by the EditorJourney schema, I did not find additional pages that warrant hashing.

Based on our findings, I don't see a reason for not closing this at this point.
