The fact that its almost impossible to use outside enwiki, would be one of the main factors of why I would call its success mixed (One of the goals even was "allow expansion and modification of the system to support different backend systems and logic screens."). I do hope we do not repeat that limitation with new systems. The other reason I would call it mixed, is that the majority of patrolling even on enwiki, still takes place through the other interface (I believe. I'm not very familiar with patrolling on enwiki, so I may be misunderstanding something here) Stats for this August: MariaDB [enwiki_p]> select log_type, log_action, count(*) from logging where log_type in ( 'pagetriage-curation', 'pagetriage-deletion', 'patrol' ) and log_timestamp > '20150800000000' and log_timestamp < '20150899000000' group by log_type, log_action order by count(*); +---------------------+------------+----------+ | log_type | log_action | count(*) | +---------------------+------------+----------+ | patrol | NULL | 4 | | pagetriage-curation | unreviewed | 134 | | pagetriage-deletion | delete | 1132 | | pagetriage-curation | delete | 1132 | | pagetriage-curation | tag | 2170 | | pagetriage-curation | reviewed | 10913 | | patrol | patrol | 184269 | +---------------------+------------+----------+ 7 rows in set (3.75 sec) I'm not sure what level of popularity was targeted, but 6% market share (4.6% if you count by unique users instead of total number of patrol actions) doesn't seem like a run away success. Its certainly not a failure. But I'm not sure I would call it a full success either due to its lack of flexibility and luke-warm adoption numbers. -- bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
