FYI, I wrote a tool that works similarly to baGLAMa, but you can request
categories on-the-fly:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamoran.html
The tool is using the WMF pageview API, and is limited by this (earliest
data is 2015-08).
Also, it works entirely in the browser, so using large category trees are
not recommended.
Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce the launch of the second Inspire Campaign for
IdeaLab.[1] The theme of this campaign is focused on improving tasks
related to content curation & review in our projects:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
Reviewing and organizing tasks are fundamental to all WIkimedia projects,
and these efforts maintain and directly improve the quality of our projects
in addition to increasing the visibility of their content. We invite
everyone to participate by sharing your ideas and proposals on how to
enhance these efforts. Constructive feedback and collaboration on ideas is
encouraged - your skills and advice can elevate a project into action. The
campaign runs until 29 March.
All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions,
community organizing and outreach, or something completely new! Grants are
available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects developed during this
campaign that need financial support.[2] Google Hangout sessions are
available in March if you'd like to have a conversation about your ideas.[3]
Join the Inspire Campaign and let’s work together to improve review and
curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and
accessible.
With thanks,
Jethro
