Wikistats 2.0

Hi,

 

Welcome to the first of a series of semi-regular updates on our progress 
towards Wikistats 2.0.

 

Much appreciated. Updates about this are very interesting. 

 

* Finding data on Wikistats is a bit hard for new users, so we're working on 
new ways to organize what's available and present it in a comprehensive way 
along with other data sources like dumps

 

I should mention that there are quite a lot of things in Wikistats that are NOT 
hard to find :)

And I hope it will remain that way. A basic metric like active and very active 
users, and data for a language in relation to the number of its speakers are 
very straightforward, and should remain that way.

 

3. [        ] Sanitize pageview data with more dimensions for public consumption

6. [        ] Sanitize editing data for public consumption

 

This reminds me: Is there some kind of an open policy document about what is 
supposed to sanitized? The general idea is "user's private information", but 
I'd love details and examples, especially non-trivial ones. For example, I 
sometimes hear that grand total numbers are usually OK to publish, but some 
wikis are so small that even the bare numbers may make it possible to guess 
some private information. It would be lovely to have a written policy about this

 

9. [        ] Officially Replace stats.wikipedia.org with (maybe) 
analytics.wikipedia.org

 

But please don't break existing links :)
 

* no easy way to look at data across wikis.  If someone asks you to run a 
quarry query to look at data from all wikipedias, you have to run hundreds of 
separate queries, one for each database

If you're still reading, congratulations, sorry for the wall of text.

 

No problem at all, very useful!
