The WMF Research team has published a new pageview report of inbound
traffic coming from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit.[1]
The report contains a list of all articles that received at least 500 views
from one or more of these platforms (i.e. someone clicked a link on Twitter
that sent them directly to a Wikipedia article). The report is available
on-wiki and will be updated daily at around 14:00 UTC with traffic counts
from the previous calendar day.
We believe this report provides editors with a valuable new information
source. Daily inbound social media traffic stats can help editors monitor
edits to articles that are going viral on social media sites and/or are
being linked to by the social media platform itself in order to fact-check
disinformation and other controversial content[2][3].
The social media traffic report also contains additional public article
metadata that may be useful in the context of monitoring articles that are
receiving unexpected attention from social media sites, such as...
- the total number of pageviews (from all sources) that article received
in the same period of time
- the number of pageviews the article received from the same platform
(e.g. Facebook) the previous day (two days ago)
- the number of editors who have the page on their watchlist
- the number of editors who have watchlisted the page AND recently
visited it
We want your feedback! We have some ideas of our own for how to improve the
report, but we want to hear yours! If you have feature suggestions, please
add them here.[4] We intend to maintain this daily report for at least the
next two months. If we receive feedback that the report is useful, we are
considering making it available indefinitely.
If you have other questions about the report, please first check out our
(still growing) FAQ [5]. All questions, comments, concerns, ideas, etc. are
welcome on the project talkpage on Meta.[4]

Hello all,
I am writing an academic article. For this research, I am creating an
index, which I would like to call the "Wikipedia Global Consciousness
Index." Do I have to worry about the trademark?

Hello everyone,
We have been working on Scribe over the past months. Scribe is an addition
to the editing interface of MediaWiki, that eases new users into creating
new Wikipedia articles. Scribe’s focus is to teach new editors the
importance of references and following the Wikipedia standards. Find more
information on Scribe here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scribe
It is currently deployed on test Wikipedia:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Scribe_demo_video_mid-march.webm
Scribe lets an editor select from a list of suggested sections, which are
based on the existing articles in your Wikipedia.
Then, Scribe suggests references from the web for each section, based on
the existing references in your Wikipedia.
We have developed Scribe as a gadget that does not interfere with your
usual editing flow. We are currently looking for feedback, therefore we
would like to deploy the extension on your Wikipedia.
Would you be interested in offering Scribe to editors on your Wikipedia and
use it to give us feedback on its usability?
You can let us know via mail or on this page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scribe/Get_involved
We are running a first trial, in which we would offer a list of < 200
articles in a red links list, which can be created with Scribe for testing
purposes. The gadget is not enabled by default and would only work on the
list of articles provided in the red links list.
Thanks,
Lucie, Hady, Eugene

Evening all,
I hope everyone is doing well given the crazy world we’re living in.
I was having a conversation with a few users on Discord today and we were
wondering whether wikimedia (or users of other similiar sites would be
fine) disproportinately fall into the category of having aspergers, ADHD
and other simmilar conditions.
It would be even better if anyone knew what sort of areas these users were
more likely to work in.
Following a chat with Issac in #wikimedia-research, I understand there
isn’t much support for this kind of research as users may not want to
reveal this information and there is no clear reason for collecting the
information but if anyone knows of past research or has any information,
that would be helpful.
Stay Safe,
RhinosF1
