It's as much as changing the download url. The new version is downward 
compatible.

Subject: Re: [Analytics] Pagecount Datasets to be Deprecated at the end of May

 

Hey Dan,

thanks for the reminder! I'm worried there are a lot of community and GLAM 
tools that rely on these datasets and are not yet transitioned to the new data 
sources (like WikiProject popular pages 
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/popularpages/> ). Is there any chance we could get a 
1 month reprieve so that Community Tech could track down and fix some of these 
tools before the deprecation? Sorry we didn't do this earlier. We just hired a 
new developer though and I think this would be a good on-boarding task for 
them. Let me know what you think.

Just a reminder, we will be deprecating the pagecounts datasets at the end of 
May, as we mentioned earlier this year [0].  This means these files will remain 
there to be used by researchers but new files will not be generated in the 
future.

 

Pagecounts datasets that will be deprecated

 

  pagecounts-raw

  pagecounts-all-sites

 

Options for switching to the new datasets [1]:

  pageviews for the same format but better quality data

  pagecounts-ez for compressed data
