We want to track how much the syntax highlighting function is used. To understand this we propose tracking, if possible:
- how often the syntax highlighting 'highlighter' button is clicked to turn it on and off VE 2017 wikitext editor and 2010 source code editor
- number of people have it activated (as saved in settings) in the VE 2017 wikitext editor and 2010 source code editor
- Join user preferences: usecodemirror x { visualeditor-newwikitext, usebetatoolbar } (Logic table is slightly more complicated because other editors take precedence.)
- number of edit sessions that have it activated in the VE 2017 wikitext editor and 2010 source code editor
- if possible, number of people with related gadgets and scripts enabled:
- wikEd
- User preference: gadget-wikEd
- Extension:CodeEditor
- User preference: usecodeeditor
- User:Remember_the_dot/Syntax_highlighter, Benutzer:Schnark/js/syntaxhighlight
- Not easy to check script usage.
- wikEd
Similar to T258920: Collect on-going numbers related to VE template dialog and TemplateWizard use, collect on-going numbers to create a baseline and also see if this changes in the future with our work. Segment by:
- VE 2017 wikitext editor and 2010 source code editor
- Wiki, use the same four wikis to compare patterns of use: en, de, fa, tr
Open questions
- Is this already being tracked? If not, is it possible to track now or would we need to create the infrastructure for it?
