In T426132, we began collecting responses from v2 of the "Exit the editor" survey.
And in T429964, we discovered a bug in both V1 & V2 that caused the survey to be shown to people who successfully publish an edit as well as people who abandon.
In line with the above, this task involves the work of re-analyzing the V1 survey responses and analyzing the V2 responses and in both, filtering out any sessions that have a saveSuccess event in `EditAttemptStep.
These analyses will help the Editing Team, and others contributing to WE 1.7 (FY25-26), decide: What (if any) improvements will the Editing Team prioritize work on as part of WE1.7 to increase the proportion of people who curiously tap Edit on mobile and go on to publish a constructive change?
Requirements
- Update the Findings/"Exit the Editor" Survey slides to include data from both V1 and V2 of the survey.
- Slides ought to clearly distinguish between Phase 1 (en.wiki, where people on mobile are shown source by default) and Phase 2 (other wikis, where people on mobile are shown VE by default)
Analysis population
While T426132 presented the survey to people regardless of how much time elapsed between the editing interface being ready and them seeking to abort, this analysis will be limited to people who spend ≥2 seconds in the editing interface after it reaches the ready state.
- Wikis: T426133
- Platform(s): Mobile web
- Max edit count: ≤100 cumulative edits
- Editing interface(s): mobile VE & mobile source
- Account state: logged in and logged out
Population groupings
We'd like to be able to group and intersect respondents by the following...
- Wikis: Phase 1 (en.wiki) or Phase 2 (T426133)
- Default editing interface: VE or Source
- Editing interface people used: VE, source, switched to source, switched to VE
- Account state: logged in/out
- Changes made before abandoning: yes/no
- Edit count before the abandoned edit session the survey was presented at the conclusion of
Open question(s)
Done
- Findings/"Exit the Editor" Survey (May 2026) is updated to include data from the second survey round that meets the requirements described above.
