Sunsetting Wikimetrics
by Marcel Ruiz Forns 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi! Wikimetrics <https://metrics.wmflabs.org/> development has been frozen since 2017, and we Analytics consider it's time to sunset this tool. Its last day of operation will be March 24th, 2019. If you're a Wikimetrics user, please consider working with Event Metrics <https://eventmetrics.wmflabs.org/>, a newer tool that, like Wikimetrics, allows to gather statistics on cohorts of wiki users. It has been running for one year now, has great documentation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event_Metrics>, and is supported by the Community Tech <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech> team. For more information, you can read this Phabricator task <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211835>. Please, post any questions or comments in there. Thanks! -- *Marcel Ruiz Forns** (he/him)* Analytics Developer @ Wikimedia Foundation

Forwarding.

To: <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Joe Matazzoni <jmatazzoni(a)wikimedia.org> Better and more metrics will be a focus for the Event Tool project. We’re planning these reporting features now and need to hear from organizers of editathons and similar events: What are your ideas about event metrics and reporting? What data do you need to show? What are you looking to accomplish with your reports? What filtering and other features are most important? There’s a post on the project page asking for your input [1] and a series of questions on the talk page designed to help organize the discussion [2]. Please go to the talk page and leave your ideas there. To provide some prompts for your thinking, I’ve also posted a breakdown of the reports available now from the existing tools Grant Metrics and the Program and Events Dashboard [3], which many event organizers have used. We’re listening!

Re: [Wikimetrics] Wikimedia Video tracking tool
by Dan Andreescu 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hi Agnes, We don't have any datasets that track video plays, yet. The closest thing we have that's public is to count media views, so the number of times someone loaded the page that the video is on, and you can find that here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediacounts/ I've created this task, and we'll see where we can prioritize it (but probably not for quite a few months). I'm not sure who maintains the tool you linked to, but it runs on our cloud infrastructure, and it looks like it was created by Stefan Schneider from WMDE, based on this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Harej On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 4:24 AM Agnes Bruszik < agnes.bruszik(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote: > Dear All, > > We are experiencing problems with this tool: > https://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-video-clicks/help.html#, the tool for > measuring the number of plays is not functioning at present. > > Can you please suggest alternative tools to see the number of plays for > these 14 x OER MOOC video snippets attached we have uploaded to > Wikimedia Commons and inserted into relevant Wikipedia pages? > > > > Thank you very much! > > Agnes > > WMUK > > > -- > Best, > > *Agnes Bruszik - *Programme Evaluation Assistant > Wikimedia UK > +44 2033720769 > > *Wikimedia UK* is the national chapter for the global Wikimedia open > knowledge movement.

Technical problem with wikimetrics
by Lilit Tarkhanyan 16 May '18

Hi Wikimetrics guys, It's been several days since I can not do wikimetrics of our programs. The validation is written UNKNOWN and is not updated. You can find attached the screenshot. Please help to solve this issue. Thank you!

[STALE DATA] May need to rerun metrics
by Dan Andreescu 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi everyone, Wikimetrics was using a stale database for the past 2 weeks (since about November 1st). I have fixed the problem, but if you ran any reports in the past 2 weeks, the numbers might be stale and you should rerun them to check. Apologies for the trouble.

Wikimetrics for Armenian Wikisource and Wikipedia
by Lilit Tarkhanyan 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi everyone, It's about a week that Wikimetrics doeasn't show real numbers for our Armenian Wikisource program. Could you check if something is wrong with the tool? I'm also attaching the bytes doc which might be of any help to you. And I also can't do wikimetrics for Armenian Wikipedia as half of the user names are shown to be invaild but all the user names are correct. Could you check it as well? Best, Lilit Tarkhanyan Wikimedia Armenia Wikipedia Education Program Leader 2a Arshakunyats ave., 4th floor tel. +374 55 534 011

Reports from the magic button failing

Hello, I don't know if people from other organisations have been experiencing problems, but reports from the magic button seem to be consistently failing and re-running isn't helping.

Problem validating a cohort on Wikimetrics
by Richard Nevell 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Hello, I just created a cohort of 44 user names. Wikimetrics has been able to expand the user names to all projects (532 altogether) but for some reason only 12 are valid.

Wikimetrics down
by Dan Andreescu 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

I'm going to stop the Wikimetrics website and service because it's having some serious problems working with the databases to get data. Most of the jobs it launches end up failing partially, which makes it hard for the user to know what's going on. I'll update this message once we can put it back up.

Fwd: [Labs-l] Tell us about the SQL that you can't get to work
by Pine W 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Forwarding to Analytics, Research, and Wikimetrics in case this is of interest to people who aren't subscribed to the Labs mailing list. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bryan Davis <bd808(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 9:28 AM Subject: [Labs-l] Tell us about the SQL that you can't get to work To: labs-l <labs-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> In early January there is going to be a Developer Summit in San Francisco [0]. Chase and I are in charge of scheduling talks on the topic "Building on Wikimedia services: APIs and Developer Resources". One of the more interesting to me talks that has been proposed for this is "Labsdbs for WMF tools and contributors: get more data, faster" by Jamie Crespo [1]. I know that most of you won't be able to attend in person, but if we can show that there is enough interest in this topic we can get the talk scheduled in a main room and recorded so anyone can watch it later. An idea I just had for showing interest is to get Tool Labs maintainers and other Labs users to describe questions that they have tried and failed to answer using SQL queries. We can look at the kinds of questions that come up and ask Jamie (and others) if there are some general recommendations that can be made about how to improve performance or understand how the bits and pieces of our data model fit together. To kick things off, here's an example I tried to help with over the weekend. A Quarry user was adapting a query they had used before to find non-redirect File namespace pages not paired with binary files on Commons. The query they had come up with was: SELECT DISTINCT page_title, img_name FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT page_title FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 6 AND page_is_redirect = 0 ) AS page LEFT JOIN ( SELECT DISTINCT img_name FROM image ) AS image ON page_title=img_name WHERE img_name IS NULL; The performance of this is horrible for several reasons including the excessive use of DISTINCT. The query was consistently killed by the 30 minute runtime limit. MaxSem and I both came up with about the same optimization that eliminated the sub-queries and use of DISTINCT: SELECT page_title, img_name FROM page LEFT OUTER JOIN image ON page_title=img_name WHERE page_namespace = 6 AND page_is_redirect = 0 AND img_name IS NULL; This new query is not fast in any sense of the word, but it does finish without timing out. There is still some debate about whether the 906 rows it returned are correct or not [2].
