Editing CommunityData:Message Walls Code (section)

== List of Variables to build ==


===Principles for defining outcomes===
* Experience or newcomer definition should not depend on something MW changes

===Defining newcomers===
Nate and Sneha are arguing about this! There are two options we've considered for defining newcomer edits

* Any edit made by a user who made their first edit ''m'' months ago is a 'newcomer edit'
* Any edit made by any editor who has made less than ''n'' edits by the cutoff date is a 'newcomer edit'

We've reached a cautious consensus in taking the intersection of these two measures as a determinant of newcomer status.

=== Variables===
