Hey all,
After the patches to the definition following the previous hand-coding
run (see older threads) I've run a second set of tests. These can be
seen at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pageviews_QA_2.png and
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pageviews_QA_jittered_2.png
There's nothing particularly shocking in the new definition; it
follows the seasonal pattern that we're used to. I think we can call
the new definition done, with these tweaks! It's also not as unstable
as the legacy definition (good luck to whoever now has the
responsibility of explaining why pageviews abruptly halved in the
middle of February).
Have fun,
--
