Roll instrument out to 100% of enwiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In a recent meeting, we decided the numbers / join look good with the current instrument approach, as rolled out and tested on 100% of eswiki and ptwiki traffic.

The next step in this KR is to roll out to 100% of enwiki traffic. The work needed here will be:

  • strip the instrument of the old_page_hide, page_hide, and old_page_load events and related code
  • continue to send bot signals and uri hash
  • merge and configure the instrument to start on Thursday, March 5th
