Hi,
responding to Yaroslav Blanter's following observation on this mailing list:
"However, when I look at the statistics of usage,
http://wdcm.wmflabs.org/WDCM_UsageDashboard/ I see that Wikivoyage
allegedly uses, in particular, genes, humans (quite a lot, actually), and
scientific articles. How could this be? I am pretty sure it does not use
any of these."
Please note that The *Wikidata item usage per semantic category in each
project type* chart that you have referred to in a later message has a
logarithmic y-scale (there's a Note explaining this immediately below the
title of the chart). Also, even from the chart that you were referring to
you can see that Wikivoyage projects taken together make no use of the
categories Gene an Scientific Article. The usage of the logarithmic y-axis
there is a necessity, otherwise we could not offer a comparison across the
project types (because the differences in usage statistics are huge).
Here's my suggestion on how to obtain a more readable (and more precise)
information:
- go to the WDCM Usage Dashboard:
http://wdcm.wmflabs.org/WDCM_UsageDashboard/
- Tab: Dashboard, and then Tab: Tabs/Crosstabs
- Enter only: _Wikivoyage in the "Search projects:" field, and select all
semantic categories in the "Search categories:" field
- Click "Apply Selection"
What you should be able to learn from the results is that on all Wikivoyage
projects taken together the total usage of Q5 (Human) is 26, and that no
items from the Gene (Q7187) or Scientific Article (Q13442814) category are
used there at all.
Important reminder. The usage statistic in WDCM has the following semantics:
- pick an item;
- count on how many pages in a particular project is that item used;
- sum up the counts to obtain the usage statistic for that particular item
in the particular project.
All WDCM Dashboards have a section titled "Description" which provides this
and similarly important definitions, as well as (hopefully) simple
descriptions of the respective dashboard's functionality.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Goran
