Hi Vipul, 

 

Thanks for doing this. I made a few changes to the timeline. 

Wouldn't meta be an appropriate place for this?

Notability is not an issue there.

And it formalizes co-authoring.

 

Cheers,

Erik

Subject: [Analytics] Seeking feedback (+ answer to 1 question) on a timeline of 
Wikipedia analytics

 

Dear Analytics mailing list,

I am working, along with Issa Rice (cc'ed) on an analysis of changes to 
Wikipedia pageviews since December 2007, when pageview statistics first started 
being maintained. To help with our analysis, we collected key events related to 
changes to user experience on the site as well as to statistics availabilty and 
measurement. We've recorded our findings on this page in Issa's userspace:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riceissa/Timeline_of_Wikipedia_analytics

I'd appreciate it if you can highlight:

(a) Factual errors in the material currently in the timeline
(b) Missing events that you think should belong in the timeline, with regards 
to the availability of statistics as well as any other events that affected 
user experience significantly.

 

In addition, I had the following question: In the Wikimedia per-article 
pageviews API 
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Pageviews_data/get_metrics_pageviews_per_article_project_access_agent_article_granularity_start_end,
 where do Wikipedia Zero pageviews get recorded? Do they go under mobile-web, 
or mobile-app, or neither? 
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews 
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageview>  gives some 
information on how the underlying pageviews are recorded in the pageviews 
dataset, but I wasn't clear on how the pageview REST API processes that data.

 

Thank you!

 

Vipul

 

NOTE: We don't intend to move the page to Wikipedia's main space, as we know it 
won't meet the notability criterion. The user space was just a convenient place 
to store it while taking advantage of MediaWiki's syntax and Wikipedia's 
templates.
