Here is example output from the code I've hacked together.

For some stats, I was able to use the XML API.php + SimpleXML:

$General_Stats_Suffix="api.php?format=xml&action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics"; $today_pagecount=$doc->query->statistics['pages'];

For other things, I had to form custom queries and count() output array sizes:

$Count_Categories_Suffix="api.php?format=xml&action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=14"; $Count_Template_Suffix="api.php?format=xml&action=query&list=allpages&apnamespace=10"; $today_categorycount=count($doc->query->allpages->p);

Some housekeeping pages provide nice simple RSS/ATOM XML feeds you can parse (New Pages, Recent Changes):

$doc = simplexml_load_file("$WIKIPrefixURI" . "index.php/Special:Newpages?feed=rss&limit=20");

For other housekeeping pages that don't provide this, you have to scrape HTML data structures using stupidity like:

$doc = simplexml_load_file($WIKI . 'index.php?title=Special:Wantedpages&limit=500&offset=0'); foreach ($doc->body->div->div->div->div->div[2]->ol->li as $listItem) { print " o " . $listItem->a . "\n"; }

If anyone wants to jointly develop a more-mature version, let me know.

All:

Has anyone implemented any usage reporting systems? Daily/weekly/ monthly periodic analysis?

• Something to track daily page creations / changes counts.
• List new users
• Maybe also fetch and deliver excerpts from housekeeping special:pages like: Special:Recentchanges Special:Newpages Special:Lonelypages - Pages with no link to them, orpaned Special:Deadendpages - Pages that have no external links Special:Uncategorizedpages - Pages lacking a category Special:Wantedpages Special:BrokenRedirects Special:Wantedcategories Dead End Pages ...

A lot of this could be gleaned from the xml.php API system -- a small PHP script using xml_*() functions could parse it out into human readable pages.

Thoughts?
