Analytics/Archive/Wikimetrics/Adding New Features/Tag Cohorts

Currently in development.

Background
We would like to implement a feature that would allow a user to tag a cohort. Tagging cohorts will help users to create cohorts from similar cohorts. For example, if a user would like to look at the retention of active editors from all their March edit-a-thons, they can find those cohorts tagged as March 2014 edit-a-thon to examine all those cohorts and usernames tagged that are appropriate for follow-up at different follow-up times. Further, we would like to allow sharing to the evaluation team so that they can directly find program cohorts to analyze various metrics from particular program implementations for high-level analysis and follow-up inquiry. This will help give an idea of how a program performs in terms of target metrics overall. It’s a way to collaborate with other users to get a bigger picture. Tagged cohorts from other users will only be seen if that cohort is public or shared with the user. There will be specific WMF superusers who will be able to look at all cohorts of a certain tag unless the user chooses to opt out through auto-sharing to WMF admins based on certain types of tags (i.e., programs tags)

Autocomplete Tag
To help users visualize what tags are being used and help curb typos, we intend to autocomplete tags. That is, when a user begins typing, a drop down list of matching tags will appear. These tags will be related to official tags, but the user may tag their cohorts with whatever they choose.

Create a super user
Grankmaking would like the ability to look at tagged cohorts that are not shared explicitly. They want to use this information to gain a bigger picture and analyze program effectiveness. There will be an option to opt-out if the user chooses not to be included in overall analytics. There will be a warning on the tagging page to signify that their cohorts may be used for high-level analysis by WMF.

Have "official" tags
We will pre-populate the tag table with tags that we deem to be "official". We hope to implement a way to track tags that become frequently used and add them to the "official" tag list.

Tagging a cohort/Deleting a tag
Users can now tag a cohort with tags of their own choosing. They can also delete a tag from a cohort by clicking the "x" next to each tag.
