This was postponed to Q4 since AHT was focused on Secure Poll.

Trend of traditional mute usage

Traditional mute usage has a bump between 2020-06 and 2021-03. The growth is mainly from French Wikipedia (frwiki) and Italian Wikipedia (itwiki). Since 2021-04, it returned to its previous level.

Adoption of special mute
As we have added Special:mute event into event_sanitized table since October 2020, we have the historical data now. We are able to provide the data not only for current month, but also for previous months. In January 2021, the monthly usage hit its historical record of 266 .

Special mute user behavior analysis on option selection
Users have two options to select: mute notifications and mute email. The most two popular selection combinations are: 1) mute both notification and email, 2) mute notification only.
