What's the impact of these partnerships? How are these media used? We didn't have good answers to these questions until very recently. Thanks to the work of Bryan Tong Minh, Magnus Manske, and other engineers, we now have some first good data:
Thanks to Bryan and Magnus for teir great work on this!
We'll be able to show even more compelling data if we now add the (known) pageview data for the relevant articles. Hopefully this emerging data will contribute to a virtuous circle of new content partnerships. I'll pull together some facts for a blog update on what's happening in the space, but wanted to give a general quick update first. :-)
I think it would be even better if we could also show views for the images themselves, not only page views for the articles they are used in. It would be interesting to see how the two compare, and also, what (thumbnail) sizes of the images are viewed.
This information is not being collected at the moment, but Domas told me it would be trivial to do, if we had a place to put it. We (WMDE) are currently thinking about ways to make this data available on the toolserver, in raw for as well as aggregated figures in the database. I hope we can show off the numbers at Wikimania :)
