Topic on Talk:Growth/Article creation for new editors

For this project we need to obtain:

• Average number of daily new articles (not redirects) at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed ]
• Average daily number that are passed by auto patrollers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autopatrolled)
• Average daily number that are passed by NPPers
• Average daily number that are passed but tagged for improvement/issues. (See: Page Curation > Add tags > All tags)
• Average daily number that are listed for the AfD, CSD, PROD deletion systems (together will do) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy
• Average daily number that are moved to draft

Sample period would need to be at least over the last 6 months to make any sense.

I'm also interested in this data, especially if we can get each metric as split by "user tenure bucket".

I'll look into this and see what info I can gather before our next meeting.

Many low standard articles with potential but not ready for mainspace get moved to draft. They do not all get submitted to AfC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation) for review. It might also be interesting to know, over a sample period:

*How many drafts are submitted to AfC

*How many drafts are declined by AfC

*How many drafts are rejected by AfC

*How many drafts were deleted G13 (no improvements after 6 months)

@Kudpung sorry for the delay on this, I wasn't sure how to grab any of this data, so I had to check in with a WMF data scientist. Unfortunately, they let me know that most of these questions are currently either impossible to answer, or would require a lot of imperfect data crunching to attempt to gather approximations. When PageTriage was created, it didn't include the same level of instrumentation that we now include for any new WMF built feature.

The good news is that the Moderator Tools team hopes to improve PageTriage instrumentation when they work on the extension later this year:

The current project includes the language:

• Instrumenting data collection to better understand user workflows and how these change in response to improvements

So hopefully these are the kinds of questions we can start answering eventually.
