Cool. I'll move it.
You should also check the work already done by
LeonWeber. It's live in de:
The JS code is in
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pagecounter.js
The tool is running on the toolserver.
http://pgcount.wikimedia.de/ is an
alias.
I've heard about this.
You can see the top100 queries at
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~leon/stats/pageview/temp.php
It's beta but will be released in the next days. He'll implement it for
other wikis... after vactions.
I was thinking that it would be very useful and interesting if:
1) This data was kept in a WM databases, so it could be
accessed on any page's "history".
2) For admins and (perhaps) logged-in users other tools were available
that would rank search queries, category listings, etc. by page ranking.
Not *trivial*. But doable.
Only showing top doesn't reveal lees seen pages
(and remember that seen !=
watched)
Exactly. It would be nice to see it on a page-by-page basis. However,
it looks like past the top 100 the resolution is pretty low (small
quantities can't carry much information). Would it be worthwhile to
count a larger percentage of the pageviews so that we can see the
minor differences between page rank #1000 and page rank #10,000? Could this method scale
up to 5% of pageviews, 10%, etc.?
Another problem could be avoiding spamming the view
list.
I'm not clear what you mean by this.
