AHT plan to launch special mute in the week of February 8, 2020. I will re-calculate metrics a couple of months after deployment.

(@jwang: FYI, I boldly replaced "2/8" by "February 8" as ambiguous date formats always confuse me.)

Two months after Special Mute launch, it's time to recalculate the usage of preference mute, and analyze the adoption of special mute.
- The trend of mute by preference setting is flat with a slight increase.
- The usage of special mute after launch.
| month_n | special_mute |
|---|---|
| 2 | 108 |
| 3 | 108 |
- In the special mute page, there are 2 options to select: mute notifications and mute email. What's the user's preference one over another or both?
| selection | count |
|---|---|
| email_and_notifi | 84 |
| email_only | 42 |
| notifi_only | 65 |
| un_mute | 25 |

This is interesting, @jwang. Thanks for pulling this data together. Per our discussion today, let's keep this task open so we can check back on these metrics in a couple months.

Six months after Special Mute launch, it's time to recalculate the usage of preference mute, and analyze the adoption of special mute.
The trend of mute by preference setting increased. It increased significantly in June 2020 and July 2020. The growth is mainly from Italian Wikipedia. It turned out not from special mute as the prefupdate table does not capture special mute. (discussed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261461)

In the special mute page, there are 2 options to select: mute notifications and mute email. What's the user's preference one over another or both?
Based on the data of Jun 2020 and July 2020, the selections distributed as below:
| selection | count |
|---|---|
| email_and_notifi | 83 |
| email_only | 35 |
| notifi_only | 133 |
| un_mute | 19 |

To answer a follow-up question: is the inflation in mute usage relevant to special mute?
No. Special mute usage is recorded in table event.specialmutessubmit. In event.specialmutessubmit, itwiki only have 3 special mutes in June and 0 in July.
Mute by preference is recorded in table event_sanitized.prefupdate. Based on the event timestamp, I don't see event in table prefupdate is in table specialmutessubmit.

I have created a ticket to discuss including data in prefupdate table. (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261461)
Also I re-ran the data and updated above chart as I found prefupdate table has some change on event value logging since July 10,2020. So I need to adjust my sql to include all events. Only data of July was impacted.
I am going to close this ticket thread as we have another ticket to track the remaining question.
