Wikistats broadly comes in two parts
- A Content and activity reports per wiki (html tables and charts based on
the xml dumps)
B Traffic reports
Traffic reports are built from two sources
-- B1 Domas' hourly aggregations per wiki, aggregated further into
monthly totals per wiki (mobile/non-mobile, normalized/non-normalized), grouped by project e.g. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm
-- B2 Sampled log lines (these days generated via hadoop)
These sampled log lines are used for two types of reports (with somehybrids)
--- B2a Breakdowns of traffic by geographic criteria (country,continent, N/S)
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportsCountriesLanguagesVi...
--- B2b Breakdowns of traffic by non geographic criteria (os,browser, mime type, target wiki, referer, etc)
http://stats.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/search_portal.pl?search=breakdown+of+traf...
My current proposal is on disabling B2b and hybrid reports like http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportCountryData.htm
Is there a specific reason for disabling country, mime type etc. reports? User agent sniffing rules require constant updates as new browsers appear, so browser reports become misleading when unmaintained, but I would expect e.g. the target wiki logic to be fairly stable; and country logic (I assume) is maintained externally by MaxMind; are there also known problems with those?
