It depends of the size of the dataset, if you already know the pages or users you want to compare (limited dataset with reasonable quantity) then there is no scalability issue and it should not be too difficult to implement. Otherwise it require a lot of resources to merge the numbers for every pages or users over the period with a large dataset.

Thank you. I will not say that I understood your explanation, but I'll try: If you have number of viewers of some page for every year, can't you get the sum of them and compare with another page to sort them? And the same for the number of some user's edits? Igal

Hi Igal, All suggestions are welcome :) Supporting this feature shouldn't be too difficult in theory because it
is
already working with this kind of aggregation (month are built from days, years from months...). The main problem is scalability for stats which require uniqueness like number of users or number of edits *per page*. That's why yearly stats can actually be disabled on some big wikis. So it would be feasible but with edits limitations for the range (like 3-5 millions) and it would be very slow to load with lots of edits.

Hello. It's amazing, thank you very much! Could I suggest one more feature, please? With it, the tool will be perfect. I'm talking about aggregation. Any kind of historical
statistics
for some day, month or year can be also shown as range of time. For example, if we have month statistics, we could fill From field to be
Jan
2008 and To field to be May 2011, and get the aggregated numbers for
this
range. Is it possible? Thank you very much again, Igal (User:IKhitron)
