Peaceray,
Though it should be considered largely only research ready (i.e.,
potentially unstable, so not ready for production-level always-on
tools), I've created a service that syncs and provides details on
current WikiProjects. For example:
https://alahele.ischool.uw.edu:8997/api/getProjects
Would return all current WikiProjects, defined as all pages in the
Wikipedia namespace (4) starting with WikiProject_*, as well as pages in
the Active_WikiProjects category on the Wikipedia namespace, allowing
for both projects like WikiProject Seattle as well as Department of Fun
to be recorded.
To get the pages under the scope of those projects, try:
https://alahele.ischool.uw.edu:8997/api/getProjectPages?project=WikiProject_Seattle
This currently returns 6,961 pages, including all pages under the
project category as well as all sub-category pages to a depth of 2. It's
possible something like this could be paired with stats.grok.se or the
upcoming pageview API to get page view data on each of the
Seattle-related articles (i.e.,
http://stats.grok.se/en/201507/Bitter_Lake,_Seattle), or, if you're
looking for activity information you can get it from a separate request,
below (which would return edits to the Space Needle page in the Article
and Article Talk namespace, grouped by page, editor, and week, after
March 5th, 2014):
https://alahele.ischool.uw.edu:8997/api/getEdits?page=Space_Needle&namespace=0|1&group=page|user|date&sd=20140305
(Rough) documentation and all the bits for the above are at:
https://github.com/mdgilbert/wiki-tools (for instance, the
syncProjects.py script is what collects the project and project-pages
data).
(Also rough) documentation and the code for the node.js server which
provides the data is at: https://github.com/mdgilbert/node-reflex
Any comments, suggestions, requests, etc always welcome. Cheers,

Hi Dan,
I did discover the TreeViews tool a couple of days ago on
tools.wmflabs.org <http://tools.wmflabs.org>:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/treeviews/?q={%22rows%22%3A[{%22title%22%3A%22WikiProject%20Seattle%20articles%22}]}
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/treeviews/?q=%7B%22rows%22%3A[%7B%22title%22%3A%22WikiProject%20Seattle%20articles%22%7D]%7D>
However, for Category:WikiProject Seattle article, it only brings back
the articles 10 Things I Hate About You
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_Things_I_Hate_About_You> through
Ballard Carnegie Library
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballard_Carnegie_Library>, which is a
little over 1100 articles, whereas there are 6,882 in the category
alone (as of the time of this email), let alone subcategories. It may
be that there is a limit as to the number of articles that the tool
can pull monthly page views for, but it does not state that.
Do you know who developed TreeViews & how I can contact her/him/them?

Hi Raymond. Currently we don't have any WMF-hosted tools that
will let you get this information easily. We have committed to
deliver a Pageview API by the end of this quarter [1]. The first
version will not have per-category totals, but it will have
per-article totals. Until then, there are community-built tools
such as:
http://stats.grok.se (not updated for a while)
https://www.vitribyte.com/ (great dashboarding features but the
future of the project is not determined yet)
Google Big Query has also ingested our hourly pageview dumps, I've
cc-ed Felipe Hoffa so he can provide details on that.
The main problem with the solutions above is that they're based on
an out-dated pageview definition that's been having more and more
problems lately. The Pageview API we are shipping at the end of
this quarter will be based on higher quality data that makes an
effort to detect spiders and normalize page titles across
different access methods (API requests from mobile apps, different
accents, etc). Preliminary tests show that this data does not
have the anomalies we've seen in the old data.
[1] if you're interested in following along or helping with this
project, you can find it by searching for {slug} in our backlog
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/analytics-backlog/> and

Hello,
I am new to this list. I am looking to rejuvenate a
semi-active WikiProject & am looking for a tool or tools that
will list the frequency of individual per-page views for a
given category/WikiProject. The time period could be preset to
a period of time or specifiable --- my guess is that this may
depend upon the particular tool(s).
We wish to use this as one of the inputs to determining the
importance of an article to the WikiProject.
Please feel free to email me directly if you wish to avoid
adding traffic to the mail list.
