Hello, friends!
We have some preliminary numbers and graphs for Commons, English
Wikipedia, and German Wikipedia on the following:
* Uploads per month
* Unique uploaders per month
* New uploaders per month
* Cross-wiki uploads per month (currently wonky, patch in to fix it)
* UploadWizard uploads per month (based on categories, might be flawed)
You can find the graphs here:
https://edit-analysis.wmflabs.org/multimedia-health
The raw numbers are available, if you're into it:
http://datasets.wikimedia.org/limn-public-data/metrics/multimedia-health/
These numbers will automatically update each month, and we have
historical data as far back as is necessary (but feel free to disagree
with that assessment).
Upcoming numbers:
* Uploaders by tool per month (i.e. people using UW, CWU, etc.)
* New uploaders by tool per month
* Deletions
Numbers I want but haven't totally sussed out how to find (but I'm close!):
* Number of pages with images per month
* Number of images on pages per month
All of those numbers and graphs will show up in the same places (see
links above) and will also be updated automatically, so we never have to
think about implementing metrics ever again.
If you want to mess up my code, you can try to do so in the
analytics/limn-multimedia-data repository on gerrit, and the
configurations for Dashiki are here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Config:MultimediaHealthhttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dashiki:CategorizedMetrics
Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, complaints, or
praise for these efforts - I'm available on- or off-list, on
Phabricator, or on IRC in the #wikimedia-multimedia channel as always :)
And, side plug, the wonderful Analytics humans who brought you the
reportupdater and Dashiki tools can be found on the analytics list (one
of the addressees of this message) or in #wikimedia-analytics.
Thanks everyone, here's to more great numbers this year!

Hi Andrew,
very interesting, thank you! However, I think the post should make it a bit
clearer that these numbers include video thumbnail views, and are
presumably dominated by them. (A list of the most played videos would look
quite different, and presumably not be 100% SFW.) The meaning of the fields
is documented on Wikitech
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Mediacounts>. For
instance, the Ward Cunningham interview
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ward_Cunningham,_Inventor_of_the_Wi…>
(#9 on your list and the top CC-licensed one) had indeed over 7 million
views in 2015, but most of them were thumbnail views - it was played (or
had a video version downloaded) 76,315 times, 43,545 times in form of the
original WEBM file and 32,770 times in a transcoded version.

SUM(transcoded_image) AS transcoded_image, SUM(transcoded_movie) AS

"/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Ward_Cunningham%2C_Inventor_of_the_Wiki.webm";

Hi all,
I hacked up a very quick count of the 2015 video viewing aggregate
figures, using the data that Bartosz put together last year - with the
caveat that the data only goes up to 10 December, but it's probably
indicative of whole-year trends. I haven't yet tried to merge in the
11-31/12 data. Nothing very insightful but I don't recall seeing it
done before, so it might be of interest!
http://www.generalist.org.uk/blog/2016/most-popular-videos-on-wikipedia/
The headline figure is that we had about three billion (!!)
video/audio plays during the year, and that some of the most popular
items are insanely popular - the most popular was viewed an average of
42,000 times a day, every day.

Hi,
I have been working on a project to improve the categorization of pictures
in the Upload to Commons Android app <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115101> as part of the Outreachy Dec '15
program, and I am happy to announce that Phase 1 of the project has been
implemented. :) The app should now suggest nearby categories when a picture
is uploaded.
Feedback on this feature would be greatly appreciated, so please feel free
to download the updated version of the app <
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons> and to
post feedback/issues on the GitHub page <
https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/apps-android-commons/issues/new>.
Please note that to use this new feature, you will need to have location
tagging enabled for your camera.
Thanks!
