On piramido.wmflabs.org, MediaWiki tags for edits in the Special:GettingStarted funnel are only appearing on the user's first edit to a page. Subsequent edits do not get tagged. Example: http://piramido.wmflabs.org/srv/mediawiki/index.php?title=Iko_Carreira&action=history This is not a bad place to be, since users editing via GettingStarted will still be easy to identify correctly. But it would be ideal if all edits were tagged.
Yes, after the user saves (when the PostEdit checkmark appears), the openTask code logs 'save-success' and removes the article from the user's cookie. If the user clicks the article's [Edit] tab again, there's no task and so no RecentChanges tagging. Only returning to Special:GettingStarted and clicking the title again, will start a new task. If we want to keep monitoring these edits for the session, we could change the logic. Simplest would be not to remove from the cookie, so that subsequent views, edits, saves of the article all get logged and and edits continues to be tagged until the user quits the browser.
Should be fixed when we next deploy. Until you close the browser and the openTask session cookie goes away, interactions with pages you clicked in GettingStarted will continue to log events, and when you save them they will be tagged "new editor getting started" (unless you are fiddling with the [No thanks, returnTo] page you clicked). "new editor" can be a misnomer; if a super-experienced editor visits GettingStarted and clicks a page, her edits to that page will get this tag.
Would it make sense to say "editor getting started" to reduce that misnomer?
