A video is defined as follows: *A webm file *An ogg file, registered as video in the database (This roughly means that it has the string "theora" somewhere in the first 256 bytes of the file, not counting the string "ffmpeg2theora", except for some older files might still count the ffmpeg2theora, and also there's no garuntee that an ogg theora file has a theora data packet in the first 255 bytes, and its also very possible for non-theora files to have that string in the header. Consider this a "rough" metric. In practise I think it works most of the time, but do your own checking before using for anything serious). *An animated gif file that is at least 10 seconds long. I figured this very roughly separates non-videos esque gifs from video-ish gifs. Based on that metric, there are currently 8464 articles on enwikipedia that have videos on them (6442 if you take out the longer than 10 seconds GIF files). Before setting this up to update itself, is this the sort of thing you are looking for? Would it be more useful with different definitions of a "video", or instead of listing it as an alphabetical list of articles, orient it around which video is used the most places? Or would some other ordering be best? I guess I'm asking, what questions about videos are you actually looking to answer, and how could this type of report be modified to better answer them? --bawolff p.s. For those interested in this sort of thing, the sql query I used was: select page_title, GROUP_CONCAT( i2.img_name separator ', ' ) as "commons videos", GROUP_CONCAT( i1.img_name separator ', ' ) as "enwiki videos", GROUP_CONCAT( i3.img_name separator ', ' ) as "commons long gifs", GROUP_CONCAT( i4.img_name separator ', ' ) as "enwiki long gifs" from page inner join imagelinks on il_from = page_id left join image i1 on il_to = i1.img_name and i1.img_media_type = 'VIDEO' left join commonswiki_p.image i2 on il_to = i2.img_name and i2.img_media_type = 'VIDEO' left join commonswiki_p.image i3 on il_to = i3.img_name and i3.img_media_type = 'BITMAP' and i3.img_major_mime = 'image' and i3.img_minor_mime = 'gif' and i3.img_metadata regexp '"duration";d:\\d{2,}' left join image i4 on il_to = i4.img_name and i4.img_media_type = 'BITMAP' and i4.img_major_mime = 'image' and i4.img_minor_mime = 'gif' and i4.img_metadata regexp '"duration";d:\\d{2,}' where page_namespace = 0 and (i1.img_name is not null or i2.img_name is not null or i3.img_name is not null or i4.img_name is not null) group by page_title; _______________________________________________ Wikivideo-l mailing list Wikivideo-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikivideo-l
