Subject: Feedback regarding Hashtags tool's statistics page
To: <libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>, <1lib1ref(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>, <
wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hashtag Search <https://hashtags.wmflabs.org/> is a tool that allows users
to search for uses of hashtags in Wikimedia edit summaries. As of now, the
functionalities of the tool are quite basic - Few simple search options are
provided and the results are listed with the option to download them as
CSV. Many Wikimedia campaigns such as 1Lib1Ref use this tool to track edits
and users might want to get into more details for a particular search.
Along with my mentor Sam Walton, I have been working on a GSoC project “Create
a subpage for statistics and charts related to hashtag search’’
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T186706>. The aim of this project is to
create a subpage for helpful statistics and graphs related to the results
of a search.
After making some progress we have displayed the three primary graphs that
we were looking for - Top projects, Top users and edits over time. Users of
the tool can also download each of these statistics as CSV. They can also
view a complete list of editors and projects. We have setup a test instance
of the tool which you can find here:
https://hashtags-staging.wmflabs.org/
After clicking on the above link a search form is provided where you can
search for a hashtag. Fill the form and make a search (You can also click
on one of the trending tags). Click on the “Show statistics” button in the
stats box. You will now arrive at the statistics page. Scroll the page to
see the graphs. You can also download the results as CSV. Search form is
also provided on the statistics page so that you could modify the search
directly.
Now we are trying to collect feedback from users of the tool so that we can
enhance the current functionality of the tool. Also we would love to know
what more statistics we could show on the subpage. If you have any
suggestions for us please let us know by commenting on my Pull Request:
https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/hashtags/pull/31 or commenting on the
Phabricator for the project:
