Regarding "CLICKED" and "which sources do users hover their mouse the most?"
I do not think Wikimedia should collect this information without a clear
opt-in. I regard a non-opt-in as an invasion of privacy and such data
seems not to have much strategic importance for Wikimedia and Wikimedians.
You or Wikimedia could build an add-on to browsers with opt-in if you
want to have users submit their third-party browsing.
There is some Wikipedia click rate research here:

Hi Dario&Jake,
Thanks for sharing the plan. Any possibility to include in the plan a
system to archive all reference URLs and external identifiers linked
from Wikidata?
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143488
Additionally I think it would be interesting to have some research done
on which references are DISPLAYED or CLICKED the most on several
Wikipedias. We know already which sources are cited the most, but on
which sources do users hover their mouse the most? Can we also identify
which statements are involved? It could be used to expand them, improve
them, or add more context.
Finally I believe it would be that a tool to assess the
openness/accessibility of the sources of any given article could be
really interesting.
Regards,
Micru

Hey all,
(apologies for cross-posting)
We’re sharing aproposed program
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/CDP3:_Knowledge_Integrity>for
the Wikimedia Foundation’supcoming fiscal year
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2018-2019/Draft>(2018-19)
and*would love to hear from you*. This plan builds extensively on
projects and initiatives driven by volunteer contributors and
organizations in the Wikimedia movement, so your input is critical.
Why a “knowledge integrity” program?
Increased global attention is directed at the problem of
misinformation and how media consumers are struggling to distinguish
fact from fiction. Meanwhile, thanks to the sources they cite,
Wikimedia projects are uniquely positioned as a reliable gateway to
accessing quality information in the broader knowledge ecosystem.
How can we mobilize these citations as a resource and turn them into
a broader, linked infrastructure of trust to serve the entire
internet? Free knowledge grounds itself in verifiability and
transparent attribution policies. Let’s look at 4 data points as
motivating stories:
* Wikipedia sends tens of millions of people to external sources
each year. We want to conduct research to understand why and how
readers leave our site.
* The Internet Archive has fixed over 4 million dead links on
Wikipedia. We want to enable instantaneous archiving of every
link on all Wikipedias to ensure the long-term preservation of
the sources Wikipedians cite.
* #1Lib1Ref reaches 6 million people on social media. We want to
bring #1Lib1Ref to Wikidata and more languages, spreading the
message that references improve quality.
* 33% of Wikidata items represent sources (journals, books,
works). We want to strengthen community efforts to build a
high-quality, collaborative database of all cited and citable
sources.
A 5-year vision
Our 5-year vision for the Knowledge Integrity program is to
establish Wikimedia as the hub of a federated, trusted knowledge
ecosystem. We plan to get there by creating:
* A roadmap to a mature, technically and socially scalable,
central repository of sources.
* Developed network of partners and technical collaborators to
contribute to and reuse data about citations.
* Increased public awareness of Wikimedia’s vital role in
information literacy and fact-checking.
5 directions for 2018-2019
We have identified 5 levers of Knowledge Integrity: research,
infrastructure and tooling, access and preservation, outreach, and
awareness. Here’s what we want to do with each:
1. Continue to conduct research to understand how readers access
sources and how to help contributors improve citation quality.
2. Improve tools for linking information to external sources,
catalogs, and repositories.
3. Ensure resources cited across Wikimedia projects are accessible
in perpetuity.
4. Grow outreach and partnerships to scale community and technical
efforts to improve the structure and quality of citations.
5. Increase public awareness of the processes Wikimedians follow to
verify information and articulate a collective vision for a
trustable web.
Who is involved?
The core teams involved in this proposal are:
* Wikimedia Foundation Technology’s Research Team
* Wikimedia Foundation Community Engagement’s Programs team
(Wikipedia Library)
* Wikimedia Deutschland Engineering’s Wikidata team
The initiative also spans across an ecosystem of possible partners
including the Internet Archive, ContentMine, Crossref, OCLC,
OpenCitations, and Zotero. It is further made possible by funders
including the Sloan, Gordon and Betty Moore, and Simons Foundations
who have been supporting the WikiCite initiative to date.

We’ve also created a brief introductory slidedeck about our
motivation and
goals:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_Integrity_CDP_proposal_%E2%80%93_FY2018-19.pdf

WikiCite has laid the groundwork for many of these efforts. Read

Recent initiatives like the just released citation dataset
foreshadow the work we want to
do:https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/what-are-the-ten-most-cited-sources-on-wikipedia-lets-ask-the-data-34071478785a
