I used Wikitrip recently, after reading about it in the Signpost. It's addictive, and generally depressing when you see that men edit most the articles about women.

Hairdresser is weird because it "disappeared" for quite sometime while being a redirect to barber, so I'm not sure if it's the best example..

Regardless, the majority of the articles I look at (Feminism, Woman, Women's rights, pretty standard stuff) are usually 95% male identifying editors.

One complaint about the app - when I go to click on the specific "regional" demographics, a little window pops up stating how many users have contributed from that area, and there is an "X" to exit that box, I keep clicking the box and it won't close (so I can't view other regional statistics). :D

Thanks for developing this tool!

We have developed another tool, Wikitrip.
On Wikitrip, you can see the edits performed on every page of
Wikipedia over time
and you can see the geolocation of edits (for anonymous editors)
and you can see how many edits were performed by male and female
Wikipedians (for registered users who specified their *gender* in the
preferences)

For example, the page Hairdresser has been edited more by females than
males and it is very hard to find pages edited more by
(self-identified in the preferences as such) women. (Of course this
page is not one of the most edited ones so the difference between 17
and 18 edits is not very meaningful per se).

See https://sonetlab.fbk.eu/wikitrip/#|en|Hairdresser

On Wikitrip you can also check the equivalent page on every other
language Wikipedia! Just use the dropdown menu.

I'd love to hear your feedback about WikiTrip! ;)
