Background
In T385343: Surfacing "Add a link" Structured Tasks: Experiment Release (FY24/25 WE1.2.9), we deployed the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment (to eswiki, fawiki, frwiki, idwiki and ptwiki). As part of T392256: [EPIC] "Get Started" notifications, we want to deploy another experiment on some of those wikis (eswiki, frwiki and arwiki). Since we currently cannot deploy more than one experiment on one wiki (T288022), we need to undeploy the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment on at least eswiki and frwiki.
We collected the necessary data from that experiment and as such, it makes sense to me to end the experiment in full. The final experiment results should be shared soon: T377098: Experiment Analysis: Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment (WE1.2.6 / WE1.2.9)
This task is to (a) determine the right scope of disabling and (b) execute the disabling itself.
Open Questions
- Should we disable the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment on all wikis it is enabled on, or only on pilots for the Getting Started notification?
- We should disable the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment on all wikis it is enabled on.
- Do we anticipate the need to enable the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment again? (Do we need to keep the code to make the experiment possible?)
- It is very unlikely that we will run this exact experiment again. However, in the future we may run a similar experiment again with a different UI, or a different target audience. For example, this intervention doesn't seem to have a meaningful impact on constructive activation, however in the coming fiscal year, we might want to test this feature as a means to re-engage newer editors after their initial edits. If keeping the existing code will help with that, then let's keep it.
Acceptance Criteria
- disable the Surfacing Structured Tasks experiment on all wikis
- code clean up, as appropriate
