Hi,
Would it be possible to track the number of users changing language version in each article? Like: on date X, Y users visited a.wikipedia.org and Z left to go to b.wikipedia.org, T left for c.wikipedia.org etc.
If possible, is there interest (aka who do I have to bribe) to implement that as a publicly-available dump/site?
I think for smaller wikis this would be an interesting way to know which domains/articles to work on.
Thanks, Strainu

Indeed! We've been promised this data release already at the time of the 2010 ClickTracking. :)

Maybe https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Improving_link_coverage/Release_pag... ccan be made cross-wiki at some point.

What I'm saying is not directly related to your data request but to your comment above:
We've been working on a project to understand gaps in Wikipedia and increase content coverage. You can read more about it here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Increasing_article_coverage. As part of the project, we are developing a tool that will provide article recommendations (for translation or creation from scratch) based on articles available in a source language x and missing in a destination language y and the user's interest model. You can check out the current state of the tool here http://recommend.wmflabs.org/ (note that the tool is not ready for public consumption, yet.). The phab tickets for the tool are here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/increasing_content_coverage/. :-). You can read more about the tool here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Increasing_article_coverage/Tool. This project can help those who are interested in recommendations to receive recommendations about what articles can be created next in their local language.
Your question about tracking the change in language versions while reading the article is definitely interesting for us given that it can be used as a signal of demand in the destination language.
Best, Leila

Hi Strainu,
For the moment we have some http-referer information, but not as detailed as you'd like it, and not exposed externally. We have a 'referer_class' field, telling if pageviews have http-referer 'internal' (one of wikimedia project), 'external' (any other domain) or 'unknown'.
I think the dataset you describe is very interesting, and why not add it to our (unfortunately very long) backlog ! Best Joseph
