--- Comment #4 from Maryana Pinchuk <[email protected]> ---
I'm not sure how the itwiki community chose the duration for this test, but
just so you're aware, there were 1,558 distinct logged in users who made a
mobile edit on itwiki between September and October of this year, and they made
8,213 mobile edits in total. This is just to give you an idea of the scale you
should anticipate with this test. You should also be aware that when we've
looked at the quality of mobile web edits to date, there's a slightly higher
rate of vandalism and test edits. It's not substantially higher, just a few
percentage points greater than what you see coming from new users on desktop,
but again this is something to keep in mind throughout the test period.

I'm curious how you plan to evaluate the success or failure of this experiment.
Are you simply interested in seeing what happens, or do you have specific
metrics in mind (e.g., a specific volume of edits, quality of edits, or
volume-to-quality ratio)? And if you're interested in quality, how do you plan
to measure it? I ask because I've done some work on this in the past (for this
paper, among others:
http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~halfak/publications/The_Rise_and_Decline/halfaker13rise-preprint.pdf)
that might be of interest. Hand-coding edits is a laborious process, so it
helps to have a categorization scheme/code-book in advance :)
