Hello,
Iam trying to figure out a discrepancy between
(i) querying statistics numbers returned by the API (e.g.
http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics|namespaces&format=xml)
and
(ii) querying the page titles and metadata using the API (e.g.
http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&aplimit=500&apnamespace=0&format=xml)
(i) reports
12816 pages
6300 articles
46584 edits
6551 images
137 users
(ii) sums up to
17788 pages (sum over all namespaceIDs >=0)
46906 edits (parsed using
http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&pageids=100&rvprop=timestamp|user|content|comment&rvlimit=50&format=xml)
72 users
(http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aulimit=500&format=xml)
! So I have much more pages when fetching them step by step than
reported by the statistics query (only namespaceIDs >= 0, ensuring that
I do not count duplicated)
! API lists 72 users, but statistics report 137
! Edits roughly match, but I have other Wikis in the pipeline where the
difference is much higher
First I thought that the official statistics leave out some namespaces,
but I could not figure combination which would explain the results.
Could it be cached results? That would be quite a difference and it
would not really explain the user-delta.
Iam extracting the Wikis for research and want to make sure that I have
an accurate extraction/representation of the Wikis.
=> I would appreciate any information and ideas that can explain the
differences.
Regards,
Rüdiger
