**Aim**: The aim of this project is to understand the effect of interactions taking place on talk pages on the activity of editors. **Specific questions** (these should be refined with editing): - What are contributors doing after visiting/interacting on talk pages? - Do interactions on talk pages increase or decrease contributions to edits on articles? - Are interactions on user and article talk pages different? How are they connected? - For wikipedias with fewer contributors, is the interaction on talk pages higher? **Parameters**: - we will investigate several wikipedias of different sizes (small, medium, large) - we will focus on junior editors (== fewer than 100 edits) - TO ADD: timespan: days/weeks/months ? **What** [ ] Extract edit history of a cohort of junior editors over timespan of ??? days/month - [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_table | mediawiki-usertable ]] contains user information such as total number of edit counts - [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Mediawiki_user_history | mediawiki-userhistory ]] contains user events - [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Content/XMLDumps/Mediawiki_wikitext_history | mediawiki-wikitext-hisory ]] contains revision history of edits [ ] Quantify the rate of participation in talk pages - How many users participate on talk pages? - on which namespaces? - ...? [ ] ------ Note/Background: This project is part of Martin's onboarding to the research team. It is done in collaboration with Peter Pelberg from the Editing Team. The motivation is thus two-fold: - @mgerlach becomes familiar with data infrastructure at wikimedia - @mgerlach works collaboratively with another department to become familiar with their questions/processes.

**Aim**: The aim of this project is to better understand the effect of interactions taking place on talk pages in order to improve the platform. **Specific questions** (these should be refined with editing): - What are contributors doing after visiting/interacting on talk pages? - Do interactions on talk pages increase or decrease contributions to edits on articles? - Are interactions on user and article talk pages different? How are they connected? - For wikipedias with fewer contributors, is the interaction on talk pages higher? **Parameters**: - we will investigate several wikipedias of different sizes (small, medium, large) - consider all editors; at later stage it might be interesting to consider especially junior editors (== fewer than 100 edits) - TO ADD: timespan: days/weeks/months ? **What** [ ] Look at editing patterns [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits | DataLake-Edits ]]. - Construct markov chain of edit activity on the level of namespaces - what are the most likely transitions? [ ] Look at reading patterns in [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Traffic/Webrequest | webrequest-logs ]] - which pages (in terms of their namespace) are visited in sessions that involve edit attempts ------ Note/Background: This project is part of Martin's onboarding to the research team.
