We will want to measure user interaction with new features on both User and Article Talk re-designs.

For both User and Talk:
Search bar usage (per unique user & total usage relevant to overall DAU)
'Sort by' icon clicks (per unique user & total usage relevant to overall DAU)

Will discuss with @Sharvaniharan on best method to integrate these metrics and document here.

TBD @JTannerWMF, @scblr if we want more in-depth metrics for usage of:
Sorting order selections/settings (User and Article)
Messages Read/Unread (User Talk)
Show reply indicators (Article Talk)
Expand thread indicators (Article Talk)

Thanks @SNowick_WMF

• The sort order selection instrumentation would be very interesting to me, as it would indicate a possible shift to making it the default after a certain while (towards a more modern approach to communication) – if we see people are using it often.
• Expanding thread data in both article and user talk pages is interesting too – as conversations haven’t been threaded before. Besides expanding individually, there’s also a global option, available in the overflow menu to expand all threads at once (see screens below). Might be interesting to instrument this one as well:

I agree with what Robin shared above.

We will add tracking for both additional in-depth metrics; sort order selection (and what options user selects) and thread expand/collapse (both global and by item). @Sharvaniharan will follow up when implementation is ready to be tested.

Noting here what action values we are adding to the MobileWikiAppTalk dataset.

For sort order usage, change tracking:
action = open_sort (user clicks on 'Sort By')
action = sort_order_published (user selects 'Date published')
action = sort_order_updated (user selects 'Date updated')
action = sort_order_topic (user selects 'Topic name')

For thread expand/collapse:
Sidebar expand/collapse:

• action = global_collapse
• action = global_expand

Item expand/collapse:

• action = item_collapse
• action = item_expand

Hey @SNowick_WMF it appears you've added your feedback so I will move this into ready for dev for the analytics eng, def move it back if that is incorrect.

Hi @SNowick_WMF

For the following actions:

action = sort_order_published (user selects 'Date published')
action = sort_order_updated (user selects 'Date updated')
action = sort_order_topic (user selects 'Topic name')

They are able to sort by ascending order or descending order, should we add them into the action like sort_order_published_ascending and sort_order_published_descending?

@cooltey sounds good, yes please use for those events.
