Hi, guys,
Currently, I am working on a Wiki Project, I am trying to track some wiki
users' operation, like logging, and how long they spend on the wiki by
patrolling etc.
So is there any indicator I can get these cues? I collected the
recentchanges and logevents, but I think these are not enough.
You'll have to
make do with this data. We don't track how much time
people actually spend reading or doing whatever they do on wikis. The
MediaWiki software doesn't have a feature to track this data, and
doing this on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects would violate
WMF's privacy policy AFAIK. The best you can do, both for Wikimedia
wikis and 3rd-party MediaWiki instances, is try to identify "streaks"
of logged activity (patrols, edits, etc.) and designate them as
sessions. This should give you an idea of what a given user's activity
pattern looks like, using public data.
