Hello, I have a question about the "User edits" metric presented on Wikistats, and would be very grateful for advice regarding an issue we encountered. We are currently computing some edit metrics for multiple Wikipedia language versions. However, we realized there is some discrepancy between our edit count results and the ones reported on Wikistats. It seems that total edit counts are higher for our data, while trends for daily edits are also different. As an example, the French Wikipedia: Wikistats: https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/fr.wikipedia.org/contributing/user-edits/norm… Our results (see attachment): We removed all users marked as bots in the database, and excluded edits to talk pages, as it is done with the Wikistats edit count metric. I just now found this note [1]: "The original Wikistats did not count edits if the page they were made on was deleted. We are doing the same thing in Wikistats 2 for now, which means you may see metric totals shifting over time (as pages are deleted)." Could this be what is causing this rift, or are there other processing details which we have to consider to reproduce the Wikistats numbers as closely as possible? On a separate note - are the daily edit counts for all pages (including deleted articles) accessible somewhere? thanks, thorsten [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikistats_metrics/Edits -- Thorsten Ruprechter Institute of Interactive Systems and Data Science (ISDS) Graz University of Technology, Austria _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list Analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics
