Current Situation:
- Wikidata tracks the number of active editors with 1 or more edits in the past 30 days.
- Wikibase Cloud does not currently track this exact metric but has a ticket open to begin doing so. They intend to track monthly casual and active users separately, counting all actions (not just edits) and excluding bots.
- Wikibase Suite shows active editors from a special stats page, but this does not align with the "1 or more edits" threshold and may use different logic or definitions.
- We have access to the wbs meta data pipeline, but it is unclear whether this metric is currently calculated in parity with other teams.
Goal:
- Confirm whether Wikibase Suite is currently tracking the number of active editors (defined as users with 1 or more edits in the past 30 days).
- If not, adjust or add tracking logic via the wbs meta data pipeline to ensure alignment with the approach used in Wikidata and proposed in Wikibase Cloud.
- Flag differences in definition or logic and propose next steps for harmonization.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Confirm whether active editor count (1+ edits in last 30 days) is being tracked.
- Ensure the following logic is applied (or document how our implementation differs):
Rolling 30-day windownot a thing anymore- User must have made at least 1 edits
- Only human editors (exclude bots)
- If current tracking is not aligned, update or extend the wbs meta data pipeline logic.
- Submit metric output at both:
- Per-instance level (e.g. per Suite deployment)
- Aggregated macro level (e.g. across Suite deployments)
- Document current calculation method if different from the standard definition and share options with PM for feedback.
Notes:
- Wikibase Suite’s current stats page uses a broader definition of "active editor" that may include users with only 1 edit.
- There is a TODO note in the image to review how logs-based calculations currently work—this should be included in the investigation.
