Analysis

Outcomes we will want to measure include...

Retention: how many editors edit after receiving the warning? 30 days after? 60 days after?
Contact: how many editors (IP or registered) contact the bot or warning user? Is this contact constructive or not?
Improvement: how many editors receive further warnings (from any user or bot) or are blocked?
Registrations: how many IP editors go on to register accounts after being warned vs. those not given the warning? (Tentative, would require us to log extra data on our end. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Other notes and comments

Should/can we alter the bot to send different templates to IPs and registered editors?
