[mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaCampaignEvents@master] Setup tracking for CentralNotice banners experiment for WE2.1.5

Change the story points as more details needed than the expectation, some still need clarification, it will launch in the coming January, we are here to prepare in advanced.

Thanks @hueitan for sharing a bit about tracking information via Slack. Continuing the conversation here, I have a few more questions:

• Based on the parameter you shared, does this mean that the URL will become https://ne.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Event:Name_of_the_event&campaign=fy25-we215-banner
• Also, what will this URL help us track? Will it help us track which users came through the banner and what edits they made?
• If you look at the work-in-progress event page here, you will see that there are many links embedded on that page, articles linked directly to Content/Section Translation and the Visual Editor as well. I’m wondering if we should also append the parameter to those links if we want to track clicks on them, the edits made on those pages, and the users who made those edits and whether they were part of the campaign, or if this is something that can be tracked independently.

Yes, adding the parameter to the event ULS helps us to know where they are coming from

• Will it help us track which users came through the banner and what edits they made?

• whether they were part of the campaign?

It depends on whether you want to know if the user visit the event page because of they click a link from the campaign (eg. email/community homepage/external link);
Q: do you need to track the user source (where they came from)?

@hueitan Tracking edits is the priority, and it would also be helpful to capture the source.

Also, about the tool links embedded on the event page, articles linked directly to Content/Section Translation and the Visual Editor as well, do we need tracking for these links as well?

Do you think it’s doable to have these tracking links ready by the end of this week?

it would also be helpful to capture the source.

previously we have the ?banner=X to the event page URL, we will need to find other name for this source
Q for tracking team:if we use only one source name, does the referral is enough for the tracking?

articles linked directly to Content/Section Translation and the Visual Editor as well, do we need tracking for these links as well?

We will have the tag when user edit the page (through CX / VE)

Do you think it’s doable to have these tracking links ready by the end of this week?

I don't think so

Q: how many event page? if it is going to be more, we need to consider make the code available for all the event page and give a parameter to detect whether running the tracking script
Q: do we still have the account creation link in the event page?
Q: to minimize work, do you think having only the edit tag is enough? (this also the question for tracking team)

So far, we only have one event page. There’s a slight possibility that in May another community we have been working with might show interest in the pilot, but for now, it is just one.

Q: do we still have the account creation link in the event page?

No we don't have that.

Analytics is no longer involved in the project. I plan to get some guidance for them soon on how to measure data. But yes, I’m all for minimizing work. If the edit tag can help us track edits and it can be done with minimal effort, we can just go with that.

Let's final the "name of this edit, previously we are using fy25-we215-banner as the edit tag, which doesn't make sense now if this is not stick with the specific hypothesis

Q: how long do you want to run this tag if not within one hypothesis or quarter?
if we don't know yet, better to have the edit tag name that can explain itself.

Let's keep fy26-vkd-campaign where vkd stands for vital knowledge drive. We plan to wrap up up this project before June.
