Instrument Special:Contributions warning for related temporary accounts
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Motivation

We would like to understand how useful the "show related temporary accounts" mode is on Special:Contributions for temporary accounts.

Background
  • When a user with IP reveal rights visits Special:Contributions for a temporary account that has related temporary accounts (who have shared the same IP addresses), a warning box is shown, with a link to show also the contributions from the related temporary accounts.
    • Clicking on the link reloads the page. The warning box is also shown on the reloaded page, with a link to hide the contributions from the extra temporary accounts.
  • This is not shown to a user without IP reveal rights
  • This is not shown if there are no other temporary accounts have used the same IP address
Instrumentation

Add some instrumentation to capture the following:

EventInformation
The Special:Contributions page is visited for a temporary account, by a user who has IP reveal rightsUsed as a denominator to calculate what proportion of the time a page is visited that has related temporary accounts
The warning message is shown, when the page is not already in "show more" modeThe numerator to calculate what proportion of the time a page is visited that has related temporary accounts. Also the denominator to calculate what proportion of the time the "show more" link is clicked
The "show more" link is clickedNumerator to calculate the proportion of times the user clicks to show related temporary accounts, when the warning box is shown.
How we will use the information

@Madalina Could you fill in this section?

Event Timeline

This is awaiting input about how we will use the information, and therefore whether the table in the task description is the correct information to gather. Moving it to Needs Refinement to reflect this.
