Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Zero in Google search result

(cross-posted on mobile-l) Update: I have been checking on the indexed link count over the last couple of months, and it has been roughly constant. Upon another check in the past week, it looked like it was time to go ahead with the robots.txt update. Just yesterday, the start of a robots.txt en

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Has the underlying level of edits risen or fallen since the Edit Filters came in in 2009?

Hi Nemo, Good questions: I'm trying to work out what the underlying "real" level of editing has been since 2009, not because I think it a good metric, I'm aware that edit count is only a good measure of edit count. But because others are getting concerned about a drop in edit count, and I'd like

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Has the underlying level of edits risen or fallen since the Edit Filters came in in 2009?

I can't speak for edit volume, but in my spare time I did some research around blocks and found that the proportionate decline in bad-faith related blocks since 2009 is (quite possibly) edit-filter linked.[1] So, whether there's a causal link between the edit decrease and the edit filters or not, t

Hi Fae, I hadn't factored in the spam filter, that's a separate process that just focusses on sites which we don't want more links to - presumably because people have tried spamlinking them on wikipedia. The edit filter,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Has the underlying level of edits risen or fallen since the Edit Filters came in in 2009?

Thanks Nemo, Just because the edit filter is enabled by default doesn't mean that every wiki has people optimising it to find vandalism in their language. I'm trying to work out what the underlying "real" level of editing has been since 2009. The problem with measuring either unreverted edits or

The question can't really be answered without knowing what you want to achieve; I'll start from the end. WereSpielChequers, 28/08/2013 14:13: This is of more than academic interest, if we simply ignore this effect and make decisions based on the remaining raw edits after the edit filter, then t

[Wikimedia-l] Has the underlying level of edits risen or fallen since the Edit Filters came in in 2009?

Has anyone come up with a formulae for the ratio between vandalism prevented by the edit filters and lost edits on Wiki? I'm trying to work out whether the "true" editing level on the English Wikipedia and others which use the edit Filters has risen or fallen since the Edit Filters were introduce
