Erik Zachte <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Unprioritized |High CC|[email protected] | --- Comment #2 from Erik Zachte <[email protected]> --- Pro's and con's of permanent stats have been discussed endlessly over the years. Current inclination among analytics team and key users is to favor it. Updating historic stats due to new insights is deemed less important than giving the user a sense of stability. Updating due to bug fixing if still on the table. Technically it could be added as feature to current wikistats scripts, as follows: a runtime argument tells Wikistats whether to update all historic months or only a range of months (default last month only). Then all or some routines in WikiCountsOutput.pm for updating all or some csv files need to be adjusted, to not add/replace all data for a given wiki, but only for a given period. A minimal implementation would be to do this only for key metrics in StatisticsMonthly.csv As future of dump based Wikistats scripts is uncertain (HADOOP will likely take over) costs may outweigh benefits. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
