Re: [Analytics] Visualizing Indic Wikipedia projects.
by sumandro 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Erik, Thanks a lot for the appreciation. As Sajjad mentioned, we have already obtained a edit-per-location dataset from Evan (Rosen) that has the following column structure: *language,country,city,start,end,fraction,ts* *start* and *end* denote the beginning and ending date for counting the number of edits, and *ts* is time stamp. The *fraction*, however, gives a national ratio of edit activity, that is it gives the ratio of 'total edits from that city for that language Wikipedia project' divided 'total edits from that country for that language Wikipedia project'. Hence, it cannot be used to understand global edit contributions to a Wikipedia project (for a time period). It seems that the original data (from where this dataset is extracted) should also have the global fractions -- total edit from a city divided by total edit from the whole world, for a project, for a time period. Would you know if the global fractions can also be derived from the XML dumps? Or, even better, is the relevant raw data available in CSV form somewhere else?

Queryable public interface for pageview data
by Diederik van Liere 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Heya, We spoke a little bit more about getting a queryable public interface for pageview data up and running and we decided the following: 1) Start importing webstatscollector pageview daily data for 2013 into mysql running on labs (not yet scheduled in a sprint) 2) Make simple datawarehouse schema for mysql db (based on the current webstatscollector datafiles) Page Table ========== page_id page title Fact Table ======== fact_id page_id (FK -> Page Table) pageview date pageview count bytes served 3) Collect more datapoints to determine how high of a priority mobile site article pageview counts are to decide whether we should add this to webstatscollector or not. Best, Diederik

Statistics on gadget & bot usage on all wikis
by Sumana Harihareswara 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Summary: we have some new stats regarding gadget usage across WMF sites, but I'd like more analysis of gadget & bot usage. Oliver Keyes has some code and results up at https://github.com/Ironholds/MetaAnalysis/tree/master/GadgetUsage to analyze "data around gadgets being used on various wikimedia projects": "GadgetUsage.r is the generation script. It is dependent on (a) access to the analytics slaves and (b) the list of databases "gadget_data.tsv is the raw data, consisting of an aggregate number of users for each preference on each wiki, with preference, wiki and wiki type (source, wiki, versity, etc) defined. "gadgets_by_wikis.tsv is a rework of the data to look at what gadgets are used on multiple wikis, and how many wikis that is. It also includes an aggregate of the number of users across those wikis using the gadget. "wikis_by_gadgets.tsv is a rework that looks at the number of distinct gadgets on each individual wiki. Unsuprisingly there's a power law." This helps a lot with addressing one of the analytics "dreams" from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Dreams - "What proportion of logged-in editors have activated any gadgets at all? What are the most popular gadgets?" However, Oliver's data "is based on preference data - it may or may not include data for those gadgets set as defaults." So if someone could improve this to ensure that we appropriately count gadget usage for gadgets that default to on, that would be very helpful. My team would also like to know: * who maintains the most popular gadgets? (so we can invite them to hackathons, help get them training, get those gadgets localised and ported to other wikis, and so on) * when were the gadgets last updated? (so we can identify stale ones that enthusiastic volunteers could take over maintaining) * similar stats regarding bot usage -- what bots are making the most edits, or edits that in aggregate change the most bytes? who owns those bots? what wikis are they active on? (so we can help maintainers better, ensure they hear about API breaking changes, etc., and develop a bot inventory/directory to make it easier for other wikis' users to start using useful bots) If there's anyone interested in taking this on, either inside or outside WMF's Analytics team, that would be great. Otherwise I anticipate that Engineering Community Team will take it on sometime in the October-December 2013 period. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

Uninstall Usermetrics from stat1001
by Diederik van Liere 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Heya, We still have Usermetrics / UMAPI running on stat1001. AFAICT, nobody is actually using this instance. Dario et al. are using the version installed on stat1. I would like to move ahead with uninstalling it to so we can start making preparations for deploying Wikimetrics on stat1001 under the metrics.wikimedia.org domain. Any objections? Please voice them! Best, D

"Active editor" for a given day (instead of month)
by Christian Aistleitner 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi, our current definiton of „active editor” [1]: An 'active editor' is a registered (and signed in) person (not known as a bot) who makes 5 or more edits in any month in mainspace on countable pages. is centered around months. That's good. However, as we are seeing requests to produce daily graphs: How to interpret the above definition in terms of active editors for a given /day/? Especially: How to do it in a way that blends nicely with the current month-based definition? Best regards, Christian P.S.: I've seen code in our repos that just looks for edits of the last 30 days. That sounds nice. But if I am doing 3 edits on 2013-07-01, and another 3 on 2013-07-31, I would not be considered active editor by this daily approach for any day. However, I'd be an active editor for July using [1] :-/ [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Metric_definitions#Active_editor -- ---- quelltextlich e.U. ---- \\ ---- Christian Aistleitner ---- Companies' registry: 360296y in Linz Christian Aistleitner Gruendbergstrasze 65a Email: christian(a)quelltextlich.at 4040 Linz, Austria Phone: +43 732 / 26 95 63 Fax: +43 732 / 26 95 63 Homepage: http://quelltextlich.at/ ---------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed linking to individual Limn charts
by Diederik van Liere 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Heya, We just pushed the fix for Limn so you can link to an individual chart like http://gp.wmflabs.org/#grants-graphs-tab This fix has not yet been deployed to reportcard.wmflabs.org because it's running an older version of Limn that we need to upgrade first. This closes https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51566 and https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/analytics/cards/1067 Best, Diederik
