Yup; once we move on to full deployment, there's going to be a special

I was afraid of that... That the real reason, the underlying reason, for
keeping the AFTv4 running all this time is because of the vanishingly small
number of readers who make a rating, see the 'call to action' and then stay
around long enough to become valuable editors in their own right.

That's correct, Tom. 0.3 percent of the English language Wikipedia is being

And thanks for bringing this up, Jussi! You're usually pretty on the ball,
so if you misunderstood what I wrote, it's most likely because my prose was

Good-o. That's what I also understood your Erik's emails to mean :-)
So - with regards to my original question?
In summary it was:
Now that the new versions (AFTv5) of the tool are being tested on 0.3% of
en.wp, can you turn off the now-obsolete 5-star rating version currently
running on
Actually, we're trying to avoid turning off AFT4. The reasoning is twofold.
On a product development front, the AFT5 presence is for testing purposes,
and for testing purposes only; it will be up for around 2-3 weeks so we can
build a decent picture of the quantity and quality of feedback we're

Oliver, with regards to Geni's question and your response, this is what I
understood was the situation too: that the use of AFTv5 was on a small subset
of articles to ensure minimum disruption to the editing community whilst still
being able to gain enough usage data from readers to know

data in front of me (and it's 3:40am - even if I did, I'm not going to
