Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Goal

We want to re-calculate data for Special:Mute usage and the mute usage in general for the month of August. We saw a spike at the end of July (T244781#6358015). We should look into the current status of the metrics.

Delivery:
  • Trend of traditional mute usage
  • Adoption of special mute
  • Special mute user behavior analysis on option selection

Event Timeline

Niharika triaged this task as Medium priority.

The trend of mute by preference setting increased. It increased significantly in Jun, July and August 2020. The growth is mainly from Italian Wikipedia. The growth is not from special mute because special mute is not captured in prefupdate table yet.
