As of August 6th, out of 120,258 active users on English Wikipedia at that time, 1,101 users have opted out of the watchlist (0.91%) and 630 have opted out of RC (0,05%).

Now that I see growing number of less satisfied users and no (if not very little) positive feedback, I would like to see the statistics of users opting the newer feature out. Just curious.

I can ask for it.

Also, I see some positive feedback, and don't forget that happy users tend not to say that they are happy. :)

May you please provide links to the positive feedback? Thanks.

Having been initially sceptical, I really like the new watchlist. Just discovered the coloured filters and that's really useful. I also like that I can filter out all the bot edits that I rarely care about. The interface seems to have improved too, or maybe I'm just used to it now.

You have access to the same feedback page I have, where you can easily find some positive comments. However, we are not counting points here: only look for people who are complaining about the filters versus the one who aren't is not really meaningful. Let's wait for the statistics and compare them to the number of active people on the wikis.

It may depend on whether it is used on RecentChanges or Watchlist.

Statistics are not available yet on Gafana or query-able. I've asked a developer to find those statistics. We will see if it is possible to have them visible publicly.

As of yesterday, on English Wikipedia, 1101 users have opted out of the watchlist (0.91%); 630 for RC (0,05%). To be compared to the 120,258 active users at that time.

Can we see how many active users use the Watchlist regularly, and how many of those use filters? Total number of active users is not relevant, as a significant percentage might not use the Watchlist or filters.

Hmm.... Can I ask for next month's stats? I can see numbers growing (steadily?) but not as big compared to 32,000+ enwiki users (part of 70,000+ total) enabling the feature before graduation out of beta.

Trizek (WMF) (talkcontribs)

If you remind me about it next month, yes.

When the release on watchlist happen, only 32,000+ were using that feature (because it was already default on RCs). Now, that's more 199,000+ users using it on watchlist. That's a lot.

One month later. Umm... Must I ask every month? I would like to have a website dedicated to statistics tracking this.

Trizek (WMF) (talkcontribs)

As of yesterday, for English Wikipedia, Recent changes: 691; Watchlist: 1368, Active users: 123,774.

What do you expect from those stats?

George Ho (talkcontribs)

I don't know why the task to remove the opt-out option of RC is created and still intact rather than declined.

The numbers to opt-out the new RC UI are steadily increasing, indicating that those registered users would prefer the older RC interface. I bet the stats increased in three months.

EDIT: I wonder whether proposing to keep the old RC would be within the scope of the next year's community wishlist.

Trizek (WMF) (talkcontribs)

There is no plan to remove the old RC interface, while that's the non-Javascript one. I've asked about that task.

George Ho (talkcontribs)

I don't see a reply somewhere. Is there a link, or did you just email? Thanks.

Never mind then.
