You can’t directly query for the size as far as I know, but you can use the longpages query page generator to get a list of the longest enwiki pages, then filter the associated items for male authors. But this will only get you about a hundred results until the longpages list is exhausted (most of its results are linked to items we don’t care about), and it won’t get you the actual size (and therefore the order of results isn’t necessarily meaningful either, you just know they’re among the longest pages).

SELECT ?item ?titleEn WHERE {   hint:Query hint:optimizer "None".   SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {     bd:serviceParam wikibase:endpoint "en.wikipedia.org";                     wikibase:api "Generator";                     mwapi:generator "querypage";                     mwapi:gqppage "Longpages";                     mwapi:gqplimit "max".     ?title wikibase:apiOutput mwapi:title.   }   BIND(STRLANG(?title, "en") AS ?titleEn)   ?sitelink schema:name ?titleEn;             schema:isPartOf https://en.wikipedia.org/;             schema:about ?item.   ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5;         wdt:P106 wd:Q36180;         wdt:P21 wd:Q6581097. }

And I think those 10000 results are all we can get from the API, so if we limit those to male authors afterwards, we only get a few results (about 100), and there’s no way to increase that number as far as I’m aware, because apparently we can’t get more than 10000 total pages from MWAPI.

Hi,

Since the Mediawiki API allows to get the size in bytes of the last revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&titles=barack%20obama&prop=revisions&rvprop=size of a Wikipedia page, is it not possible to retrieve this information with a generator? (it's a real question, I'm not at all comfortable with this API).

Conveniently, it has a minimum size parameter built in, so we don’t even need to get the size as a revision property and filter on it afterwards.

However, this requires one API call per item, so it doesn’t scale at all – this query with just 50 arbitrary author items already takes about half a minute. (The commented-out ORDER BY DESC(?sitelinks) is intended as a heuristic to find larger articles first, but all the top 50 authors by sitelinks have articles longer than 10000 bytes on enwiki, so in that case you might as well just skip the MWAPI part altogether.)

I don’t think this can work very well. Even if MWAPI was expanded so that we could directly feed 50 or even 500 titles to the query API (as the titles parameter, skipping generators altogether), that’s probably still too much of a bottleneck for this kind of query.

Hi,

Since the Mediawiki API allows to get the size in bytes of the last revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&titles=barack%20obama&prop=revisions&rvprop=size of a Wikipedia page, is it not possible to retrieve this information with a generator? (it's a real question, I'm not at all comfortable with this API).

    you’ll get exactly 10000 results, but most of them aren’t male
    authors (a lot of them seem to be lists of various kinds). And
    I think those 10000 results are all we can get from the API,
    so if we limit those to male authors afterwards, we only get a
    few results (about 100), and there’s no way to increase that
    number as far as I’m aware, because apparently we can’t get
    more than 10000 total pages from MWAPI.

    Cheers,
    Lucas

    Thank you so much, Nicolas & Lucas! 

    @Lucas this helps a lot! At least I will get an idea about
    what I need until PetScan is sorted out. Would you elaborate
    a bit more what do you mean by "most of its results are
    linked to items we don’t care about"?

    Best,

        You can’t directly query for the size as far as I know,
        but you can use the longpages query page generator to get
        a list of the longest enwiki pages, then filter the
        associated items for male authors. But this will only get
        you about a hundred results until the longpages list is
        exhausted (most of its results are linked to items we
        don’t care about), and it won’t get you the actual size
        (and therefore the order of results isn’t necessarily
        meaningful either, you just know they’re among the
        longest pages).

        SELECT ?item ?titleEn WHERE {
          hint:Query hint:optimizer "None".
          SERVICE wikibase:mwapi {

        Try it!

        Hi Reem,

        If this page
        https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual/MWAPI
        is up-o-date it's does not seem possible to get the
        article size of a wikipedia article (but I must I don't
        use and know "|wikibase:mwapi|" a lot, maybe it has or
        will changed).

        Cheers,

            Hello!

            Hope this finds you well. I put together a query

            to create a list of English Wikipedia articles about
            male writers. Is it possible to filter the results
            by size? For example, articles that are larger than
            or equal to 10k bytes?

            I understand that this is better done by PetScan,
            but my PetScan query
            <https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=en&project=wikipedia&depth=50&categories=Male%20writers&ns%5B0%5D=1&larger=10000&search_max_results=500&interface_language=en&&doit=>
            refuses to cooperate for a reason I don't know yet.. :/

            Thanks in advance.

            Best,
