Erik Zachte <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Unprioritized |Low CC|[email protected] | --- Comment #2 from Erik Zachte <[email protected]> --- Would be nice. But would be incomplete at best, and possibly a major task, depending on ambition level, as there are many metrics, and plausible rate of change could differ per project. It also could create lots of false positives, depending on thresholds chosen. BTW manual vetting is mostly quick comparison of key metrics on old and new reports for some wikis (mostly English Wikipedia) to see if these metrics are ballpark within expected range. Other than that many eyeballs keep Wikistats under scrutiny. Background: Several years ago there was a major bug that caused all article counts to be twice as high (redirects were not recognized, or something of that nature). Given that Wikistats regenerates all historic months on every run that gave the impression of a complete overhaul of Wikistats methodology and caused some turmoil. Given the high stability of the wikistats scripts (after 10 years of operation few operational errors has skewed stats) the fact that any software can fail in changing circumstances came as a surprise to some users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
