I met with Jack on 4/15/25 and we:

• reviewed existing metrics on no-JS use. This information is helpful for the team.
• reviewed querying/tables/outputs on % of admins that have disabled JS in their user preferences using the query written by Jason Sherman:

Select
COUNT(rcefdisable_user) as num_rcefdisable,
COUNT(1) as total,
ROUND(100*COUNT(rcefdisable_user)/COUNT(1), 3) as prop_rcefdisable
FROM
(
SELECT up_user as rcefdisable_user
from user_properties as up
where up.up_property = 'rcenhancedfilters-disable'
and up.up_value = 1
) as rcefdisable
RIGHT JOIN user ON rcefdisable.rcefdisable_user = user.user_id
INNER JOIN user_groups ug ON user.user_id = ug.ug_user
where ug.ug_group in ('sysop', 'extendedconfirmed')

We find these counts for the top 5 Wikipedias (as far as monthly active admin counts):

Note: according to the latest Movement Metrics snapshot, we have ~2,000 active admins/month.

Additional data to better understand the No-JS picture is needed: Who are the no-JS admins noted in the table above: how many edits|blocks have they made)? Irene will:

• pull data on edits or edit-buckets for admins that changed their JS settings
• pull data on blocks for admins that changed their JS settings (have blocked another user, and how many blocks have they issued)
• focus on active admins... on the top 5 six wikis (as far as active monthly admins)

Also, Jack W will want/need comparison point(s) for this data...so we will meet again to talk through the findings and ensure that the data is clear/understood/contextualized.
Once this data is delivered and reviewed, we can close the request.

Timing: As the immediate need for the initial request has been dropped/changed, Jack's timeline is flexible. Irene will touch base with Jack on timeline.

available datasets:

• wmf_raw.mediawiki_logging
• wmf_raw.mediawiki_private_actor
• wmf.mediawiki_history
• canonical_data.wikis

available definitions/queries:

• active admins Thank you @JAnstee_WMF
• admin blocks Thank you @CMyrick-WMF

unknowns, risks, limits:

• what time period do we want to investigate?
• does this data meet the team's needs?

@Iflorez - what % of the active admins on English wikipedia have turned off JS?

I think if we have data for the past 90 days, we'd have enough information.

Said another way, of the 309 admins who've turned off JS, how many of them are "active?"

Hi @JWheeler-WMF
Circling back....
Do you mean that you see benefit to reducing the scope of the task? And that the info that you need is:
Over the past 90 days, what % of the active admins on English wikipedia have turned off JS?

Or are you clarifying the time-period related to previous task-scoping requested?:
Over the past 90 days, how many edits|blocks have the no-JS admins active admins, on the top 5 six wikis (as far as active monthly admins), carried out

My feedback: "Over the past 90 days, what % of the active admins on English wikipedia have turned off JS?" will give you an simple/clear picture that you can use to compare and contrast, on enwiki, to get a sense of needs/impact for this population (and their JS settings).

Hey @Iflorez - hoping to learn Over the past 90 days, what % of the active admins on English wikipedia have turned off JS? !

This ticket can now be closed. On Wednesday April 30th Jack and I agreed on a COB Wednesday May 14th deadline to answer the question: Over the past 90 days, what % of the active admins on English wikipedia have turned off JS.

A new ticket with the deadline and deliverable is the next step. I will share/post the final query used on the new ticket so that it can be reused at a later time.
