Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background

We would like to re-run the analysis from T180860: Re-run active editors skin statistics, which looks at the number of users for each skin among logged-in editors. We would like to see what number of logged-in editors on enwiki have opted into the new Vector 2022 skin and compare that to the usage of other skins, for individual wikis

Acceptance criteria

Repeat analysis from T316884, T325193: Determine number of logged-in editors using each skin for the list of wikis below
English Wikipedia
Spanish Wikipedia
German Wikipedia
Russian Wikipedia
Chinese Wikipedia
Italian Wikipedia
Polish Wikipedia

@ovasileva , want to confirm the default skin on the list wiki with you, in order to calculate the skin stats. Is below summary table correct?

@jwang - yes, that's correct. Thank you!

Currently, Hindi doesn't have V22 as the default, though.

My mistake, fixed now.

The description is worded very poorly:

We would like to see what number of logged-in editors on enwiki have opted into the new Vector 2022 skin

This is impossible to measure as it is the default skin now.

logged-in editors using each skin on English Wikipedia for the list of wikis below

What does this even mean? You want to see what skin the users from the English Wikipedia use on other wikis?

Methodology

The non-default skin status is pulled from user_properties schema per specific wiki. We also considered global preference, which can overwrite the skin setting on local wiki. The global skin preference is pulled from the global_preferences schema in the centralauth database. Both skin preference and global preference only reflect the status when the data was collected, i.e. on Apr 19, 2023.
Editors are pulled from wmf.mediawiki_history schema. We focus on the non-bot users who had at least 1/5/60 content edits on specific wiki between 2022-04-01 and 2023-03-31. Note: none of the three editor groups here are exactly the same as the active editors group that we measure for product core metrics. The product core metric active editors is defined as the number of registered users who made at least 5 content edits across all projects in the given month. (ref: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Product/Data_glossary). The edits are only counted for specific wiki in this analysis.

Summary

  • On English Wikipedia, vector2022 is the default skin. Vector2022 gains less shares among editors who are more active.
    • Among editors who made at least 1 edit annually, 89.93% of them use vector 2022 skin.
    • Among editors who made at least 5 edits annually ,84.59% of them use vector 2022 skin.
    • Among editors who made at least 60 edits annually , 68.77% of them use vector 2022 skin.
  • On the wikis where vector is the default skin, vector2022 gains more shares among editors who are more active. One possible reason is that the active editors have more chances to be exposed to the new skin version and switch over.

  • Compared with the stats on 2023-01-09, the share of vector 2022 increased 0.66% on average on the wikis where vector2022 is not the default skin.

Below table shows the adoption rate of vector 2022 among the editors who made at least 1 edit per year in analysis on 2023-04-19 and 2023-01-09

Notes for the known differences in comparison:

  1. The skin stats on 2023-04-19 considered global preference, while the stats on 2023-01-09 did not. But considering global preference won't skew skin stats significantly. (see study at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327561)
  2. The editor groups in comparison are not exactly same. The editors in analysis on 2023-01-19 are pulled with the timeframe between 2022-01-01 and 2022-12-31. The editors in this analysis are pulled with the timeframe between 2022-04-01 and 2023-03-31. We want to include as many editors as possible who are exposed to the new skin in analysis.

@ovasileva , You also can find the raw data in the data sheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Confirmed with Web team that Czech Wikipedia can be removed from the analysis wiki list as the vector-2022 is the default skin on this wiki.
