Hi everyone,
Tried Wikimetric today and it looks like a good start to me. Some
feedback:
* Google/Twitter account, should be something WMF like the
labs/Gerrit LDAP
Yes, we will migrate to Mediawiki OAuth once it's stable.
* Should use https by default
Agree
* O wait, invalid certificate, filed bug at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53892
Yes, because WMF has not yet figured out a policy for SSL certificates
in Labs.
Where is the ball in this case?
* Only English? It should be multilingual like all our software.
The people at translatewiki will be happy to translate for you
Yes, but rather wait with that until we have reached a stable version
1.0 but tracking at
https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/analytics/cards/1143 This is the reply
I've seen with many many projects before you. Always
something like "yes, we're going to add it, but first.....". Just add it
and don't worry about maybe people doing one or two extra translations
because you changed some part of the code.
* Upload csv user lists is not very convenient. Are you planning
to come up with a easier/better system?
What is not convenient?
I have to compile a file in some ancient ill documented
format. What I
would like to have: Automatically generated cohorts. Let's take me on
the English Wikipedia (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill).
* I want to have a cohort for all users who are in a certain category
(for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Commons_administrators)
* I want to have a cohort for all users who use a certain template (for
example
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&targ…)
* I want to have a cohort for all users who are linked from a certain
page (for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Hi…)
* I want to have a cohort for all users who have edited a certain page
(for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Arsenal_F.C._%281886%…)
These are simple queries, you could probably make up some more. You
could also go more complex by combining aspects, for example users who
edited a page in a certain category. These queries might explode.
From a privacy point of view I might not even see what users are part
of the cohort, just the end results.
* Project "en" is a bit weird.
You're probably using
<project>wiki_p for the database. Can you add a link to available
projects? Or how to construct it? Say for example I want the
German Wikivoyage.
Yes, some explanation on how to construct it would be useful.
Please expand at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimetrics/FAQ#What_is_the_project_code.3F
* Description seems to be missing for some fields at
http://metrics.wmflabs.org/metrics/
Which fields in particular?
The fields where description is empty? So that's
Start Date, End Date,
Positive Only Sum, Negative Only Sum, Absolute Sum and Net Sum
* You could probably grab namespaces on the fly from the Mediawiki api
Sure, but why? we do have a validation step that should verify whether
the report you want to run is valid.
Because most people wouldn't know the
namespace numbers and would have
to look them up. Do you know the id of the campaign namespace on Commons?
* Can you add an option to give output per time period (month
would be nice)?
We are working on roll-up of results, should be released shortly.
* Can you add bytes uploaded as a metric?
Created
https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/analytics/cards/1141; I
can't promise this because there are more urgent metrics that we would
like to implement first.
* Can you split out the result per namespace?
Tracking at
https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/analytics/cards/1142
*
http://metrics.wmflabs.org/support contains a to the empty page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimetrics/FAQ . Can you make that
link https by default?
Sure, and please help us in creating the FAQ :)
Created the page.
* Where is the code? Can we submit new metrics? See for example
http://toolserver.org/~reports/?wiki=nl.wikipedia.org
<http://toolserver.org/%7Ereports/?wiki=nl.wikipedia.org> for a
similar service
Code is available at
https://git.wikimedia.org/log/analytics%2Fwikimetrics/HEAD and
https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-wikimetrics
* Are you planning to offer some visual output besides csv/json?
See for example
https://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php
<https://toolserver.org/%7Eemijrp/wlm/stats.php>
I would love to see integration with Limn but we have not yet made
commitments to do so. The output format should be general enough to
make it easy to use for a visualizations.
* I see you have sql queries. What tables are available? All
(non-private) tables like on the Toolserver and Toollabs?
We are querying the labsdb databases, so all tables in those databases
are available.
* Do you have some metrics on the usage of wikimetrics? :-)
Not yet :(
Ooooh, the shame ;-)

For anyone interested in contributing code, chat me up
over email or
in IRC and we can get started. I've made a start at writing up a
tutorial here:
https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-wikimetrics#development-environment,
let me know how I can improve it or just submit a patch :)
+1 on making
documentation, -2 for the location. Documentation should
*always* be on
