Next Steps

• @MNeisler to confirm whether the new Talk_page_event schema will enable us to answer the question below or whether additional instrumentation is needed.

"On average, how much time elapses between when "User A" creates a new section on a talk page (article, user, or otherwise) and "User B" posts a comment in that same section?"

"On average, how much time elapses between when "User A" creates a new section on a talk page (article, user, or otherwise) and "User B" posts a comment in that same section?"

@ppelberg - I've confirmed that the new talk_page_edit schema will enable us to answer this question.

For reference, I'm documenting the field that would be used to answer this question below:

• distinct logged-in users ("User A vs User B"): performer.user_id
• Creates new section:
  • • action = publish : new section posted
    • comment_id: Unique identifier of the comment that the user just posted.
    • comment_parent_id: If this is a top-level comment this will be the identifier of the heading (topic_id)
  • meta.dt: timestamp of event
• Posts a comment in that same section:
  • action = publish: comment published
  • comment_id: Unique identifier of the comment that the user just posted.
  • topic_id and comment_parent_id: use to identify if the posted comment is in the same section or new topic that "User A" created
  • meta.dt: timestamp of event.

Furhter documentation of the talk_page_edit instrumentation is available in the schema repo and instrumentation spec

Excellent. You confirming the above is the information we needed to remove this task as a blocker of T284848.
