Add "pages edited" metric?
by Jonathan Morgan 08 Aug '15

08 Aug '15

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 -- Jonathan T.

Hello, Yes, I apologize you are facing difficulty with running reports. There have been some recent changes to the labs server that have been causing instability for the Wikimetrics tool. Although our analytics team has been working on it, I am forwarding this note to the wikimetrics list to let the team know your having issue as well and to loop you in for updates. If you are not already subscribed, I suggest subscribing to the list so you will get messages in the future about issues that sometimes come up and can report directly to the support team able to help. You can subscribe at: wikimetrics(a)lists.wikimedia.org Thank you for your patience.

Re: [Wikimetrics] wikimetrics unvalidated cohort Alfagems students March 2015

Hi Ingo, Sorry to hear about your difficulties with Wikimetrics. I'll try to answer as many questions as I can. I have cc'd wikimetrics(a)lists.wikimedia.org on this email. Next time you have a questions, if you email that list, you are more likely to get a good answer, because there are many other Wikimetrics users subscribed. Expanding a cohort later: this is not currently possible with Wikimetrics. You would need to create a new cohort with the extra usernames included. Gibberish about metrics: Do you mean the definitions of each metric? I agree that the way these are written makes it hard to understand what they mean. Could you describe what you want to measure about this cohort? That will help me (or someone else on this list) recommend which metric you should use. You also ask "what can I see from the txt file?". I don't know what you mean by that. Could you be more specific? My apologies for the frustrating experience, Jonathan On Sat, Mar 28, 2015 at 9:17 PM, Ingo Koll <ikoll(a)gmx.de> wrote: > PS: Problem solved, just took about 15 minutes still the screen showed > “validated” > > > > BUT creating a report is a riddle! > > What can I see from that txt file??? > > > > I have no clue what all the gibberish about metrics is good for – do I > have to understand that?

Examples of cohorts that fail with
by Frances Hocutt 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hello all, I'm trying to reproduce some reported problems with uploading non-Latin characters in usernames. In particular, there's a bug where certain characters seem to disappear when uploading names using Firefox. If you have cohorts that have had particular problems with the character encoding, it would be very helpful if you could pass them on to me or comment on the Phabricator task[1], along with any other information you have (for instance, the program you used to save the CSV, your browser/operating system/character set, how you ended up uploading the cohort). The more information there is on this, the easier it will be to figure out what's going on. Thanks for your help. -Frances [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93646

Report fails
by James Hare 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

I am trying to run a report measuring rolling active editor and newly registered for a cohort of about ~20,000 accounts (actually only about ~1,300 Commons usernames, but I opted to have it extended to their global accounts in case they also did stuff outside of Commons). I have now tried to run the report twice and it has failed. Anyone know what is going on? Thanks, James — James Hare President, Wikimedia DC http://wikimediadc.org @wikimediadc
