Comment:

 irl and I discussed this ticket. We agreed that the Q link could go away
 if we're being a bit more explicit in the graph description that the
 displayed numbers do not count exactly the number of users. Changing to
 needs_revision for that minor textual change which then doesn't need
 another review to be merged.

Comment:

 After having re-read the ticket description I realized that the sentence
 ''"For further details see these [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-
 web.git/tree/src/main/resources/doc/users-q-and-a.txt questions and
 answers about user statistics]."'' does more harm than good.

 The linked text file indeed does not say anything about lower and upper
 bounds of bridge users by country and transport. It's a document written
 in 2014 and 2015, long before this graph existed.

 The link to follow is ''"Learn more about [...] how to
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/reproducible-metrics.html#users reproduce]
 the graph data."'', and that link is contained on every graph page (with a
 different target per graph category).

 I suggest that we remove the Users Q file from 2014/15 and all links to
 it and let our users discover the Reproducible Metrics page. I don't think
 we'd be missing anything important from the Q page. And if we do, we
 should include that either in the graph description or on the Reproducible
 Metrics page.

 Setting to needs_review for the suggestion to remove the Users Q file
 and all links to it.

Comment:

 It's indeed already written up [https://metrics.torproject.org
 /reproducible-metrics.html#bridge-users here], under "As a special case,
 ...". That page is already linked from the graph page, though maybe not in
 the most obvious way. I'd want us to make this change as part of #24422.
 Setting parent ID accordingly.

 On
 https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-combined.html?country=ar
 at the bottom it says
 "Even though bridges don't report a combination of clients by country and
 transport, it's possible to derive and graph lower and upper bounds from
 existing usage statistics. For further details see these questions and
 answers about user statistics."

 But the further details link doesn't tell me how this graph derives lower
 and upper bounds from existing usage statistics.

 Maybe it is already written up somewhere, and we can link to it?
