Randomization (Q06, Q08, Q09): yes, let's keep them randomized. The one thing to watch is if any of those has a catch-all option ("None of these" / "Other" / "Don't know") that really ought to sit at the bottom. If so, flag it and we'll set just that question to fixed order instead.

DDeSouza added a comment to T419275: Deploy QuickSurvey for research participant registration drive on trwiki & ptwiki.

In the past I calculated the response ratio (clicks / views) of some surveys using Superset. It varied wildly from survey to survey and language to language but typically it was ~0.5% I think. We can't properly estimate the responses but the unique visitors stats from PT: 1.87M/day; TR: 1.1M is good enough for the purpose of setting an initial value for the survey coverage as it can be adjusted later and/or the survey left to run for a few days less or more. That gives 3.1% for PT and 5.2% for TR but 7% and 10% is also a good start considering how noisy the estimation is. Currently on the Airtable Dashboard we have 851 Portuguese speakers and 77 Turkish speakers.

I've seen it claimed that ?action=purge for a given page fixes the error, but @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE says not always, so maybe people are seeing a coincidence with something dropping out of cache?

Yes, it (or null-edit) helps only once for a page and after revisit (same user or another) the error returns.

DDeSouza added a comment to T410696: Deploy enwiki edition of 2025 GRS.

@YLiou_WMF I checked the skip patterns for the survey and all looks fine on this end.
Methodological note: temp users (previously IP editors/anon) are now categorized with user/editors (see QuickSurvey documentation). If you see a drop in previous editing experience, this may be a result of the population change. (Alternatively, we could target all and then use the userInGroup setting to only display to temp for users, but having never used this and working on a short timeline, it may be risky as I believe there are still some open questions about the temp group functionality.)
