I'm not on the analytics list, but I saw your email about bot activity dropping in Feb 2013 on enwiki (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/analytics/2014-January/001515.html), and the reason is that all interwiki bots were shutoff due to the deployment of Wikidata.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_owners%27_noticeboard/Archive_8#Wikidata is the relevant thread with some info.
yes, I’m just pulling some year-long data on bot activity and wanted to exclude something trivial (like some Wikidata bot activity in early 2013 that may have suddenly ceased in February?)On Jan 16, 2014, at 8:15 PM, Steven Walling <swalling@wikimedia.org> wrote:
