Description

Summary

Similar to how we track block notices (see BlockUtils::logBlockedEditAttempt() which writes to mediawiki.editattempt_block), we should record an impression of the block notice that appears when you try to make an edit on the iOS or Android Wikipedia apps, but are IP blocked or your user account is blocked.

We could probably log these events to the mediawiki.editattempt_block schema, and similar to how that instrumentation is set up, we should include details about the block, performer, IP reputation data, etc (see BlockUtils::logBlockedEditAttempt())

Acceptance criteria

Block notices in the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps are instrumented
