I wonder tho if it would be worth to shorten the text send and stored in the log a bit for the multi-million hit cases: [25/Aug/2006:10:54:35 +0000] "GET /index.png?ns=User&title=Anneke%20Wolf&factor=601&wiki=dewiki HTTP/1.1" Could be: [25/Aug/2006:10:54:35 +0000] "GET /i.png?ns=User&t=Anneke%20Wolf&f=601&w=de 1.1" In addition, a high factor is nec. for high-hit sites, but makes things worse for low-hit sites/articles (due to high error margin). I am not sure how to make that dynamical, tho. Best wishes, Tels - -- Signed on Sat Aug 26 21:07:10 2006 with key 0x93B84C15.

Just because page X is more popular than Y doesn't mean that people were more likely looking for X than Y when they typed in Z. Incidentally the results, while still very tentative, are quite amusing: In the top 10 (not including the main page), we have List of Gay porn stars, Sexual intercourse, Oral sex and Anal sex. Everything else is pop culture except the topical Pluto and Kuiper belt. *Wonders if we could get the "magic factor" reduced even further from 1000* Steve

Maybe wikicharts already has this (if it does, I apologize), and maybe it doesn't, but I occasionally enjoy glancing at Google's Zeitgeist page ( http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html ) to get a sense of what other people are clicking (i.e. rather than an absolute number of views, it shows what's topical, presumably based on a formula that combines of number of page views together with a percentage increase, to see filter for things that are both topical and of general interest). Would something like this maybe be possible for wikicharts, so as to get a weekly "Wikipedia Zeitgeist" to see what's hot? All the best, Nick.
