Hi Dhaya,

Thanks for your interest in charts on Wikipedia. I am interested in this
topic too. For future reference, I believe that this thread should be on
the Multimedia mailing list instead of the Analytics mailing list. (: I'm
copying this thread to that list because the thread is likely to be of
interest to people there.

Have a look at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
