Adding number of affected content pages to data model guidelines?

Since there are many events (edit-a-thons, workshops, contests) that also have affected content pages, would it make sense to add that property to the data model for events? I added it to one of the events by WMNL (see Q24386), is that the right way to go about it? MichellevL (WMNL) (talk) 08:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello Michelle. Glad to see you've started editing!!
How to model the number of affected content pages is described on Modelling/Content uploads and also on ../Resource types. As for Springclean your data workshop (Q24386) you done it almost right. We use linked data (Q22134) as qualifier instead of Structured Data on Commons (Q90).
The issue of updating the data model for events is something we will consider. Happy editing! -- Andreas Kettelhoit (WMSE) (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi Andreas thanks for the quick reply and the feedback! I have changed Structured Data on Commons (Q90) to linked data (Q22134). Also thank you for considering to update the data model for events. If it helps I can elaborate a bit more on the background of my request (there might be another/better solution):I am hoping/planning to start using metabase for metrics registration for our chapter (instead of our excel file :), and one of our metrics is affected content pages (not solely for content donations). I can imagine this is the case for more affiliates intending to start using metabase. MichellevL (WMNL) (talk) 09:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
We (WMSE) have been modelling affected content pages longer than we've been modelling content donations (batch uploads), but the data model (I call it "data modelling tables") hasn't really kept up.
Here three examples of how we model affected content pages: The edit-a-thon Q24307, the small week long competition Q24348 and the batch upload Q23399. Note that the latter contains a few properties that the others lack. More happy editing 💻 -- Andreas Kettelhoit (WMSE) (talk) 10:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
