One of the things that is needed for campaigns like 1lib1ref is to integrate the hashtag
stats (which capture lone librarians) with the dashboard campaign stats (used when there
are whole-of-library initiatives) and I guess also Event Metrics stats going forward. For
a worldwide program different tools are going to appeal to different reasons for different
reasons so I think the horse has bolted on the idea of everyone using the same metrics
tool. But nonetheless we would like to report about the overall campaign, which means
integrating these stats and eliminating duplicate edits being counted by different
programs.
FWIW hashtags undercount the stats, while dashboard can overcount them. I suspect Event
Metrics will also overcount, but have no evidence yet of that.

Hashtag Search is a tool that allows users to search for uses of hashtags in Wikimedia
edit summaries. As of now, the functionalities of the tool are quite basic - Few simple
search options are provided and the results are listed with the option to download them as
CSV. Many Wikimedia campaigns such as 1Lib1Ref use this tool to track edits and users
might want to get into more details for a particular search.
Along with my mentor Sam Walton, I have been working on a GSoC project “Create a subpage
for statistics and charts related to hashtag search’’. The aim of this project is to
create a subpage for helpful statistics and graphs related to the results of a search.
After making some progress we have displayed the three primary graphs that we were
looking for - Top projects, Top users and edits over time. Users of the tool can also
download each of these statistics as CSV. They can also view a complete list of editors
and projects. We have setup a test instance of the tool which you can find here:
https://hashtags-staging.wmflabs.org/
After clicking on the above link a search form is provided where you can search for a
hashtag. Fill the form and make a search (You can also click on one of the trending tags).
Click on the “Show statistics” button in the stats box. You will now arrive at the
statistics page. Scroll the page to see the graphs. You can also download the results as
CSV. Search form is also provided on the statistics page so that you could modify the
search directly.
Now we are trying to collect feedback from users of the tool so that we can enhance the
current functionality of the tool. Also we would love to know what more statistics we
could show on the subpage. If you have any suggestions for us please let us know by
commenting on my Pull Request:
https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/hashtags/pull/31 or
commenting on the Phabricator for the project:

Thanks,
Aditya
