Let's intrument share button to verify users need this functionality. We can share 2 metrics: - number of clicks on the Share button - the number of pageviews from shared links. ####Open questions: How can we track pageviews from the share button? There are at least two possible ways: - add a query parameter to the shared URL - Something like `?share_link` and then track it on the backend - add a hash parameter to the shared URL - something like `#share_link`, and track it on the frontend. I think that a better way is to track it on the backend by using `?share_link, but I'm afraid there might be some performance impact (requests not hitting cache). Are there any performance issues related to adding a parameter to the URL and tracking it on the backend? Are we able to easily check the number of requests with an additional query parameter?

Let's instrument the share button (T181195) to verify users need this functionality. We can share the following metrics: - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click-through_rate|clickthrough rate]] of the Share button - abandonment rate (defined as the percentage of share button clicks, i.e. openings of the share menu, that are not followed by the selection of a sharing app from that menu) - the number of pageviews from shared links (by adding a [[https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Provenance | wprov]] URL parameter) Draft schema: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:MobileWebShareButton
