Up to date files are on stat1002. My earlier suggestion to send you these files (one per project) on a regular basis still holds.
Thanks for renewing that offer. However, we cannot consume those files 1:1, but need to do some minor conversions, and further checks etc. As that'll take some time, we cannot do it adhoc, but need to schedule it.
We do not limit to Content Namespaces, only namespace 0. As that matches the current definition of “Active editor” [...]
Definition page: "Some day Wikistats may dynamically establish countable namespaces per wiki via the API". Well that happened a few months ago. I updated the definition page.
Thanks for updating the documentation on “content namespaces”. I hope the veterans in our team can vet this change.
However, “active editor” is defined as “[...] person [...] who makes 5 or more edits [...] in /mainspace/”.
Whatever additional namespaces “content namespace” might allow, the definition of “active editor” strips it again down to only mainspace == namespace 0.
You anticipate a discussion that I wanted to start since some time: Analytics' edit definition is bound to wikistats [2], and is vague in many directions (Is page creation an edit? How to treat redirects?...).
Why would page creation not be an edit?
I'd hope that page creation is considered an edit. I really do. It seems the natural choice. But from reading only the definition, I do not know.
The definition only mentions “updates”. And to me, creation is not an update.
And Mediawiki itself distinguishes them as well: define( 'RC_EDIT', 0 ); define( 'RC_NEW', 1 );
But as said above, I am not trying to start the “What's an edit”-discussion right now.
Best regards, Christian
