@Peachey88 We have a large number of unconfirmed emails on accounts. We already send periodic Echo notifications to users about this T58074: Echo: Generate periodic web notification to nudge users to confirm an unverified email address which has made some impact - P87975. We think we can make a bigger impact by adding a more persistent reminder. The goal here is to minimize unconfirmed emails. The users will be able to update or remove their email address if that's what they prefer instead.

Thanks for looking into this. I tried to get a hold of the totals on superset but realized they scrub gu_email(makes sense) so I can only get count and timestamp of confirmed emails but not the unconfirmed ones.
What I think would be easy to track in Logstash and could be helpful:
- How many email confirmation emails are sent (I think we'll also need this for T415886)
- How many emails get confirmed (although the ratio between this metric and the previous one might be misleading, if there's a delay)
- How much time elapses between us sending a (user-initiated) confirmation email and the user confirming their email. (This is something we should be able to compute and log to logstash at the time the user confirms their email.)

@Madalina I'm adding this to Next since this feels important in light of the threads Johannes shared above.
Thanks for that @Johannnes89. I will mark this as higher priority.
@WikiBayer this information is available on the top of Special:Contribs now. Does that help?
@neriah Hello. Is this still a problem? Have you managed to reproduce it?

This request has not come up in a while even after reaching out to concerned editors. Declining this task until we hear otherwise.

We discussed internally and have decided that it makes sense to make the limits global, because the account creation happens globally. We will monitor the impact nonetheless and re-evaluate these limits after a period of time.
@sgrabarczuk should we close this task now? Anything left to do on ruwiki?
@Tchanders is it possible to include the number of temp accounts on the IP/range too?

I agree with your suggestions @mszwarc. Can you please share a screenshot of the end result? Thanks.

Can we also accomplish T410511: Support cross-wiki IP reveals from the global AbuseLog while we work on this? Or is that a very different set of work?
We discussed keeping this out of the sprint for now while we gather feedback about the importance of this work.
