Dear community,
For my master thesis, I developed a tool to visualize shared content between Wikipedia language versions as well as content unique to certain versions. The tool aims to inspire editors of all language editions to find topics not available in their language yet and to also give visibility to the content of smaller language versions.
*https://wiki-gap-finder.toolforge.org/ https://wiki-gap-finder.toolforge.org/*
If you are an editor trying to find a new topic to write about or a researcher interested in data visualizations about Wikipedia coverage, *please check it out and give me some feedback https://forms.gle/9mcsjupV4GuLhVU36. I am in urgent need of user feedback data to evaluate in my thesis and so far, the response has been very sparse!*
The database behind the tool was established using Wikidata items and their sitelinks to related Wikipedia articles. The items can also be clustered into topics, which are currently assigned with the help of the Language-Agnostic Topic Classification model https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Language-Agnostic_Topic_Classification .
Please also note that currently the tool is optimized for Desktop use. I apologize for any inconveniences while testing on mobile, and for any user experience and processing times that do not work well at the moment.
You can also find the feedback form on the tool page.
*Thank you so much to everyone giving it a try!*
