Luis Villa (WMF Legal) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary|Tool Labs: Provide two |Tool Labs: Provide |views of the |anonymized view of the |user_properties table - one |user_properties table |filtered, one anonymized | --- Comment #31 from Luis Villa (WMF Legal) <[email protected]> --- So, let's keep this bug focused on the question of the "anonymized" table; i.e., the table that currently has most (but not all) rows, with userID removed but last active timestamp available. The current proposal is to provide this table on labs. It has also been suggested that: 1) we remove the whitelist altogether and provide everything; and/or 2) we sample down the timestamp to YYYY-MM so that it is more difficult to map "last active" to editors on small wikis. I still have a few concerns: 1) I still don't know how we created the original whitelist, or how we plan to create the new one. (Note that if we trust our anonymization, having a whitelist probably isn't necessary.) 2) I'm still concerned about the impact on anonymity of small wikis. Rounding to months helps, but could still be problematic in at least some cases (as Krinkle pointed out). I do not have a great solution to these questions. Trying to brainstorm/think out loud here: maybe we could provide aggregate totals for all editors, for active editors, and for new editors (based on the standard analytics definition of active editors/new editors), instead of access to individually anonymized rows? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
