Why (Context & Decision)
What problem are you trying to solve, and what decision will this analysis inform? Briefly explain the organisational or strategic context, why this matters now, and what action will be taken based on the outcome.
Our older definition of filtered user was not reliable and the WMF will soon have a new table wmf.webrequest_v2 where they will include a bot scoring mechanism which will basically allow for what we originally wanted the filtered UAs to do --> to split out true UAs from nonsense usage.
What (Scope & Output)
Describe the specific question(s), metrics, segments, or deliverables (e.g., dashboard, deep dive, experiment analysis), including any relevant definitions or constraints.
- WD API underlying tables have been added to include bot data
By When (Timing & Priority)
