Hi!
In the Danish Wikipedia, we have contributions from a number of museum and library professionals, and several of them have begun using user boxes linking them to their respective institutions. That is in it self all good, and it helps them find each other, but what would be really cool would be to say "contributors with user box X have contributed to these Y articles, and those articles have had Z visits in this period".
I know we can to it manually, but automatic would be better. Does this exist, or should we prod someone?
Regards, Ole
Hi,I think Sophie might have a solution to this for a coming collaboration. I'll ask her to answer here. /axel ====================================

Thanks for writing. This is part of what I tried to do in my (oddly named, half finished) Linkypedia experiment [1]. Linkypedia uses article links to sources outside Wikipedia to provide (largely GLAM) organizations with a view of how their stuff is cited on Wikipedia, and by who.
For example the Charles Babbage Institute [2] is cited in the following Wikipedia articles [3] which can be sorted by access statistics on Wikipedia [4], and were edited by the following individuals [5].
The user stats aren't up to date, mainly because I haven't been crawling them regularly since it takes resources I don't have on the server that linkypedia.info is running on. I've thought about trying to bring the linkypedia project into the fold of other Wikipedia projects, possibly as a GLAM project, so it could take advantage of replicated databases, and making it work with non-English Wikipedias. If anyone has any suggestions on the best way to do that I would appreciate hearing them.
