Wikipedia Page Count for a word/words
by Muhidin Mohamed 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Dear All, I need to integrate the number of Wikipedia pages containing specific word in my application. for example if I write car, I want to receive all page count that are in Wikipedia and containing that word in any position of the article content. I have tried to use special search and retrieve and raw wikitext article but it is not efficient. I will appreciate if you can forward any links or information leading to that. Cheers, Muhidin A.

I have finished a first version of the tool and you can see it in action in this sample: http://bitergia.com/projects/redhat-rdo-dashboard/browser/mediawiki.html It is showing the evolution in time of reviews (better editions?) and authors (better editors?). Also the panel is showing some global data about the WikiMedia site and the Top Authors (Editors). Our idea is to continue with the development in order to viz the MediaWiki website and its community evolution. I am taking a look to: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWikiAnalysis Cool! I plan to continue working and I'll try to share the work in this wiki page. Next goals: show pages evolution, continue with a new query when the limit is reached and do the work incremental so we can minimize the effort for updating the info. Guys, I plan to create such a viz also for mediawiki.org under the project: http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/ Cheers! -- |\_____/| Alvaro del Castillo San Félix [o] [o] acs(a)bitergia.com - Chief Technical Officer (CTO) | V | http://www.bitergia.com | | "Bridging the gap between developers and stakeholders" -ooo-ooo-

Working in a MediaWiki activity analyzer
by Alvaro del Castillo 08 Nov '13

Hi guys, We are working in an analyzer to gather the activity from MediaWiki sites using the cool MediaWiki API. Right now the idea is to get a list of wiki pages using: "action=query&list=allpages&aplimit=500" and then for each page get all revisions with: action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Main%20Page&rvlimit=500 so we have all revisions activity (pretty similar to having all commits to source code) for a MediaWiki site. We are doing it as Open Source in: https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/MediaWikiAnalysis Any comments are welcomed! After having all the data we plan to use: https://github.com/VizGrimoire/VizGrimoireR for data analysis (SQL+R) combination and for doing the viz: https://github.com/VizGrimoire/VizGrimoireJS Kudos to Sumana Harihareswara for pointing me to this list!
