Dear Fabian,
Let me relay your question to the WMF Analytics Team. Best regards, Erik Zachte From: Fabian Stephany [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2017 20:48 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: Fabian Braesemann Subject: Research on wikipedia traffic and educational quality Dear Erik, please allow me to contact you regarding your work for wikipedia (https://stats.wikimedia.org/ <http://stats.grok.se/> ). My colleague and me (Oxford Internet Institute/University of Cambridge/Wittgenstein Centre Vienna) are about to start a research project on educational quality and wikipedia traffic. Hopefully, you find the time give us some advise on our questions regarding wikipedia access and edit traffic. We want to look at the category and geographical origin of wikipedia article access and editing. A) ACCESS TRAFFIC We are interested in wikipedia clicks per world-wide geographical unit (sub-national, ideally) and per category (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Categories). Is there a way to stream (maybe per API) the origin of wikipedia clicks in a specific category? Instead it would already be great for us to find a statistic that shows regional access statistics on wikipedia in general over time. B) EDITING TRAFFIC As far as we have seen, it is possible to access the editing statistics (often with IP addresses given) for the last 30 days (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?namespace= <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?namespace=&tagfilter=&days=30&title=Sp ecial:RecentChanges> &tagfilter=&days=30&title=Special%3ARecentChanges). Is there likewise a tool or API to steam the editing process of wikipedia (IP and editor name, if registered)? Thank you very much for your help or likewise for suggesting somebody, who could help us out.
