Christian, we're running the numbers just for desktop, they're updating this new tab: https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/browsers/#desktop-site-by-os
You'll have to clear cache to see new data as it's available (it's running a week every minute or so I think.

Addendum: run same queries for desktop and that bumps up percentage to 0.052% for fedora on desktop only pageviews on December 2016.
Thanks,

Just looked at December 2016 overall pageviews for desktop and mobile coming from "users" (not self-identified-bots) and for that month about 20% of pageviews are on iOS, 25% are on Android and Fedora is 0.027%. This data is counting all projects for the whole world at large, probably Fedora represents a larger chuck of traffic in US-desktop only traffic.
I think we are going to be adding a bit more info to our browser reports with desktop-only data but still, Fedora traffic is probably not going to display.
Anyway, I will install the analytics stuff myself on a local machine
and do some testing, to see if I
can see a reason for things to fail register properly.
If you end up committing any fix to ua-parser please let us know

Small correction, threshold of browser reporting is 0.05%: https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-refinery/blob/master/
oozie/browser/general/coordinator.properties#L62
Even for our traffic below that number reporting is really not that meaningful. Now because the way that grouping happens if 'Fedora 23'
and
'Fedora 24' (imaginary versions) have 0.025% traffic neither will get reported. This is something we would like to improve and we have a
ticket
for it here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131127 (feel free to
chime
in)
Now, even with big traffic like ours there is a threshold below which reporting data is not meaningful as numbers in some instances
oscillate a
lot and that means that there is more noise than signal, we will try
to get
an specific "desktop" tab (so only requests to desktop site are
counted)
but even then, Fedora traffic might be too small to display.

The threshold is actually at 0.1%, though you are right that this is fairly arbitrary. We have sanitizing data on our goals next quarter,
and
that's when we'll take a more mathematical approach at the problem.

Been thinking a bit about this and while I do appreciate the privacy concerns I would assume that even if you set the threshold to 0.5% the amount of traffic on
Wikipedia
would still be great enough for that to not be a real privacy risk? It is just that wikimedia is
one
of the few open sources with a huge traffic base for this kind of information and we would love
to use
it as a neutral way to track our own userbase growth in comparison with the wider market. So we
know
from our internal statistics that we more than doubled our userbase over the last year, but having a
resource
like wikimedia would allow us to see how those numbers play out in the bigger picture. So any chance of convincing you to lower the threshold to 0.5% to hopefully allow us to start using the statistics already
now?

Christian,
I wanted to make sure our code is working well so I took a look.
We use
UA
Parser, a regex-based community-maintained user agent identifier.
It
correctly identified Fedora as the OS in all of the strings I
found like
'%Fedora%' for the hour of raw webrequests I looked at. However,
there
were less than 0.1% requests that were identified as Fedora. We
cut off
reporting statistics when numbers get that low for privacy
reasons. But
everything is detected correctly, so if Fedora's share of requests increases, it will show up on the charts.
Hope this helps.
