[mediawiki/extensions/IPInfo@master] log when user click helpline

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/771377

• The event_context property should be "infobox"
• The event_source property should be a machine-readable name of the line item that the user is getting help for

@Niharika For other events, event_context is the feature the user is interacting with e.g.:

- page
- infobox
- popup
- ip_address

...and event_source is the page that the event is taking place on, i.e. one of:

- action_history
- special_log
- special_recentchanges
- special_contributions
- special_preferences

Given this, would it make more sense for the machine-readable name of the line item that the user is getting help for to be recorded as the event_context rather than the event_source?

Pinging also @jwang for your thoughts on the above

We could also update the event actions list as follow:

• click_help_connection_method
• click_help_connection_owner
• click_help_proxy

Thanks for pinging me. Are we discussing the instrumentation for below interface?

Does below proposal make sense to you?
event_action

• click_help_connection_method
• click_help_connection_owner
• click_help_proxy
• click_help_static

event_context (what the clicks for)

• infobox

event_source (where the clicks from)

• ip_information

Thanks @jwang, that sounds good! Just one question:

event_source (where the clicks from)

• ip_information

For the other events, event_source is the page name, so would it be ok to put special_contributions here? (That interface is always on the Special:Contributions page)

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

NB the screenshot in T296428#7805166 is old, so we won't need:

• click_help_static
