The decision to decommission the ExternalGuidance instrument was made in T283551: Decide whether to keep the ExternalGuidance data stream. This task tracks the follow-up work to decommission it.
TODO
- Remove all instances of code like:
mw.track( 'event.ExternalGuidance', { /* ... */ } );
- Remove the ExternalGuidance EventLoggingSchemas entry
- Mark the schema as inactive by editing the SchemaDoc template on the schema's talk page
- Remove the ExternalGuidance event sanitisation allowlist entry
- Request the deletion of any previously allowlisted data if it's necessary
Notes
- AFAICT the ExternalGuidance extension does not use mw.logEvent directly (see https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=logEvent&repos=Extension:ExternalGuidance)
