Re: [Analytics] Making Charts More Interactive

Dear Dhaya, Thanks for your comments! The general legibility of Charts in wikipedia are relatively poor. I agree with you that there is room for improvement when it comes to visualizations in Wikipedia. Actually, "Handling wiki content beyond plaintext" (which includes graphs) is one of the hot topics of the Mediawiki Developer Summit[1] in January 2017. Also, there's the awesome Graph Extension[2] that lets you add interactive dynamic visualizations to the wiki pages. Cheers!
