Hi there Wikimetrics fans,
I wanted to get some input on a proposal to add a "pages edited" metric to
Wikimetrics (see this story
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Wikimetrics/Stories#User_reports_p…>
).
This was proposed because "Articles Improved
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Number_of_articles…>"
is one of the new Grantmaking Global Metrics
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_%26_Evaluation/Global_metri…>,
and there's currently no way to get the # of pages that were edited by the
members of a cohort through Wikimetrics.
As we've scoped it, this metric would be listed along with the other
available metrics on https://metrics.wmflabs.org/metrics/. Any Wikimetrics
user would be able to run this metric for reports the same way they would
run any other--they can filter by pages edited in a particular namespace,
date range, retrieve individual and aggregate results, etc. It would also
be possible to get the # of pages edited across different projects for
CentralAuth cohorts.
What do y'all think: does this sound reasonable and useful?
Best,
Jonathan

Dear Wikimetrics users,
I wanted to send out some info about how and where to report bugs (or
request features) for Wikimetrics. The Wikimedia Foundation is working to
make Wikimetrics work better, and do more, and we want your help!
*Reporting bugs:*
If there's something broken with Wikimetrics (for example, if the site
crashes when you're using it, if you can't log in, or if you have
difficulty uploading cohorts or running reports), the best place to log
that information is Bugzilla <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/>. This
assures that your bugs are seen by the people (developers!) who can fix
them.
To submit a new Wikimetrics bug to Bugzilla, follow this link
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Analytics> and select
"Wikimetrics" in the component field. You may have to log in and/or create
a bugzilla account first.
For reference, here is the current list of unresolved Wikimetrics bugs
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?component=Wikimetrics&list_id=35…>
.
*Requesting features:*
If you want to request a new feature for Wikimetrics, or a change to an
existing feature, you can post your proposal to the talk page for our Story
tracking log <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Wikimetrics/Stories>
on MediaWiki.org. Analytics Product Manager Kevin LeDuc and I both monitor
this page, and are available to field questions and comments there.
And of course, you can always use this mailing list to report bugs, request
features, give feedback, and ask questions as well.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Jonathan
(Wikimetrics PM for Grantmaking)

Right now bugzilla is turned off as we're migrating to Phabricator. We
will update the help text on wikimetrics as soon as we have a new stable
environment, sorry for the in-between confusion time.
Also, note that you're posting this to the usermetrics list, which is old
and replaced by the wikimetrics list:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimetrics (I added it to the
cc)
Now, for your question and the somewhat unfortunate answer
I am trying to run Rolling New Active Editors reports and, having tried on

This is not your fault or your cohort. Basically, we've been having a lot
of troubles with the labs databases which wikimetrics uses to get data. We
are currently trying to migrate to a new database where analytics queries
are isolated from other kinds of work. That should be much more stable
and performant when we get it up. For now, some metrics and some databases
(like Rolling New Active Editor and english wikipedia) are mostly crawling
and not finishing within the allotted time (1 hour). That's why you see
PENDING for so long and then FAILURE. If you see this, you can let us know
but unfortunately there's not much we can do until we fix the current
database or stand up the new one. Fixing the current database seems to be
an effort akin to killing a hydra. Standing up the new one requires lots
of coordination with other teams but it's currently our top priority.
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I'll look at the db again to see if
there's anything simple I can do to help.
Hi, I tried to upload the following list of usernames:
Opice1956
Rowerin
Melanie anna
Bonifac-cz
Jistefi
Bačkovská
Lidabey
NŠO-ČI
Stana123
Pauza
OmaOla
Antonín Ryska
Libuše Kroková
VETA 7O
Ilča53
Wlady
Markéta z e Lhoty
Klenča
VlaMaul
I extracted this list of usernames from the ListStudents API. Strangely,
three usernames are not valid when uploaded to Wikimetrics:
Jistefi invalid user_name Pauza invalid user_name VlaMaul invalid
user_name
Do you have any idea why these? The order of usernames does not seem to
produce any difference, it is always these three.
thanks
