Data for mute lists
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task is to track data needs from the mute lists. This will help us understand the impact of deploying Special:Mute (T231577: Deploy Special:Mute features) but in a broader picture, it can give us a sense of levels of harassment on the wikis.

Some of the tasks this can involve:

  • Gather baseline metrics on mute lists usage from 10 wikis
  • Gather mute list usage across all wikis
  • Re-calculate metrics post Special:Mute deployment

I removed Figure out how often are the same users muted multiple times from this task description. It was an idea that came up in my meeting with @drochford. It would be more useful to collect that data after we've launched the feature changes and there's an uptick on mute list usage.

@jwang If you could export the existing analysis you've done so far and attach it to this ticket or link to it from here, that would be helpful.

Monthly mute usage across all wikis from 2019-01 to 2020-01
