Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours on 2021-03-16 at 16:00-17:00 UTC (9am PT/5pm CET).
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3] (You can do this after you join the meeting, too.), otherwise you are
welcome to also just hang out. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer some of the research related questions that you as Wikimedia
volunteer editors, organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in
your projects and initiatives. Some example cases we hope to be able to
support you in:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour, however, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
Hope to see many of you,
Martin (WMF Research Team)

Dear All,
I am User:Hydriz on Wikimedia wikis and I am working on a grant
proposal to facilitate browsing and downloading of Wikimedia datasets
(including the database dumps as well as other datasets). It is a
proposed rewrite of the existing system which focused primarily on
archiving the datasets to the Internet Archive. [1]
My proposal aims to modernize the software used for automatically
archiving datasets to the Internet Archive. More importantly, it aims
to put researchers and downloaders first, by providing both a
human-readable and a machine-readable interface for browsing and
downloading datasets, whether present or historical. I also intend to
integrate a "watchlist" feature that can automatically notify users
when new datasets are available.
Please do express your support for this proposal and help make this
project a reality. Thank you!
Warmest regards.
Hydriz Scholz

Thank you for your question.
The datasets are intended to be retained forever, as researchers may
want access to historical data. If any removal is necessary for
compliance with local and international laws, it will be primarily
handled by the Internet Archive, as they are the ones storing the
data.
Warmest regards,
Hydriz Scholz

Hi all,
Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Wiki Comparison <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…> dataset. We received questions regarding the differences between Wiki Comparison and the monthly Wikimedia Movement Metrics that our team also publishes[1]. After investigation, we found that they were due to:
A bug affecting editor counts, which was present in the published dataset for 4 days and has been corrected
Differences between metric definitions
Further details are below.
We hope this is helpful in addressing the differences and their causes, and we apologize for any inconvenience the bug affecting editor counts may have caused. Please feel free to reach out should you have further questions or require further clarification.
Bug affecting editor counts
Five months of editor data were double counted, resulting in inflated numbers in three metrics: monthly editors, monthly active editors, and monthly new active editors (Column H, I, L in datasheet ‘Dec 2020’ <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…>), and understated numbers in one metric: unique devices per editor (Column G in datasheet ‘Dec 2020’ <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1a-UBqsYtJl6gpauJyanx0nyxuPqRvhz…> ). The datasheet with the issue was published on Feb 22, 2021, and corrected on Feb 26, 2021. During the time when the bug was in place, any data reference to a year-over-year comparison or an absolute number of the four metrics would have been impacted, whereas the trends across wikis within the same year were consistent.
Differences between metric definitions
Unique devices
In Wikimedia Movement Metrics, unique devices are reported for only one project family: Wikipedia. Wiki Comparison contains data across 16 project families.
For the Wikipedia family alone, the total number of unique devices in Wiki Comparison is 25% higher than that in Wikimedia Movement Metrics. This is because the calculations are aggregated by different cookie definitions:
Wikimedia Movement Metrics: unique devices are aggregated based on the last global access cookie across all projects.
Wiki Comparison: unique devices are aggregated based on the last access cookie in one project.
Therefore, adding unique devices of each project together resulting in a 25% higher total in Wiki Comparison than in Product Movement Metrics.
2020 monthly avg

Unique devices (all Wikipedias)
1.65B

1.25X
Editors
Total active editors in Wiki Comparison is 1.26x of active editors in Wikimedia Movement Metrics. This is due to the metric definitions and how we count global editors:
Wikimedia Movement Metrics: the number of active editors is the number of registered users who made at least 5 content edits across all projects
Wiki Comparison: the number of active editors is the number of registered users who made at least 5 content edits in that project.
When adding the active editors of each project together into the total in Wiki Comparison, global editors can be counted multiple times if they contributed to multiple wikis. In Wikimedia Movement Metrics, global editors are counted only once no matter how many wikis they contributed to. This results in 26% more active editors in Wiki Comparison if we sum all wikis together.
This difference also applies to new active editors.

Dear friends and Wikimedians,
(apologies for cross-posting!)
The Community Resources team announced in January the intention and process
to review its current grants programs (Annual Plan Grants, Simple Annual
Plan Grants, Project Grants and Rapid Grants) to ensure we are aligning
with the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement, with a focus on
knowledge equity and building a thriving movement[1][2].
Now that we have finished our needs review, key stakeholders discussions,
community brainstorms, and grantee surveys, we are excited to share with
you the draft proposal[3] that has resulted from this work:
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunc…
>
We are requesting your feedback on how the proposed grant programs would
impact you and how well they align with our movement strategy, which can be
provided in the following ways [4]:
* Complete a feedback form
* Participate in office hours
* Discuss on-wiki
* E-mail the Community Resources team (<communityresources(a)wikimedia.org>)
More information about these options can be found on our feedback page.[4]
After one month when the planned feedback period is over, the Community
Resources team will review all community input and make final adjustments
to complete the redesign. In April 2021, the Community Resources team will
review and incorporate suggested changes and send a final proposal for
endorsement and approval by the leadership of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Working with all our communities to update our grants programs is essential
to ensuring that they are useful and address real needs for our
communities. Thank you for all of the participation that has brought us to
this point. We look forward to the continued engagement in this next step
and listening to your ideas.
On behalf of the Community Resources team,
Chris
