About stats completely out of order : Wikipedia Community please !

Hello ! That's obvious : stats are completely out of order... That's not good, from my point of view, for Wikipedia. Maybe, Wikipedia Community will find some help. Thanks a lot. --86.73.64.212 (talk) 06:07, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

  • I totally concur. The sporadic outages of these stats does not reflect positively on Wikipedia, at all. It reminds me of hotels that run out of ice. No, ice is not their "alpha" service, but guests still rely on them having it.JGabbard (talk) 05:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Need your input on popularity ranking

Hey Henrik, Im trying to measure popularity of geographical locations and landmarks. I crawled the wiki geo_tags dump and have a good amount of places wo work with. At the moment, im stuck at how I can measure the popularity of these places. Any input on your part will be nice

Project on geo tags popularity

HI, Im working on a project that calculates popularity based on pagecount for geo_tags. Roan Kattaou from WMF referred me to your website stats.grok.se for this purpose. Can I please query your website to get the pagecount for the last 90 days for these geo tags ? Ill keep a very modest rate of 4 queries per second. Also what is the maximum rate that you can allow ? :)

PS. Could you please reply to me as an email. Shoot it at shreyasc@telenav.com

Wikipedia Pageview Data Help

Hi Henrik! I have a question about the pageviews statistics, and yes, I've read the FAQs. Recently I've started a YouTube channel called "Abacaba" that visualizes data with colorful bubbles: https://www.youtube.com/user/1abacaba1. Right now we don't have many videos (here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVh2Qw5KSFg), but after discovering the Wikipedia Top 25 report, I've had this idea to make a video showing the popularity of Wikipedia pages in the same way as our girls' name video mentioned before! I have found a few places to get the data (http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ and http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/), but both of them have really large filesizes that would take weeks for me to download. What I think is ideal for me is daily files that only have data for "large" pages (something like, in the top 5,000 - so the files are smaller) and maybe only in English (because I'm not going to compare across languages - that's like comparing apples and oranges.) Now I know that's a lot to ask for, but perhaps the files I'm looking for already exist, and you can point me to them. Could you help me out? I'll give you credit when the video's done. Thanks!

Oh also: here's my email: cary@htwins.net

What happens to page-views after a page-move?

Dear Henrik, This is a super cool tool you've created in page-views statistics!!

I'm trying to use the very cool stats.grok.se to get page-views data for article.

1. One challenge is that the data in stats.grok is per URL, not per article, so when the page is moved.

2. Using the Wikipedia API I managed to get hold of all the dates and URL changes I need, The new link data is only relevant from when the change is mad, BUT I'm not sure how to treat old-link page-views after the date of the page move:

3. After the page-move - there are many times page-views numbers for the same days on both links. For example: for this movie: - these data start 21 Aug 2008, but the Revision history shows that was a date of a link change. AND - Old link data continues after the link change date.

If New_link_data was always the maximum page-views, I could assume the old location is still getting hits just as users are being redirected from it to the new page location. but this is not he case. Also I know that redirects to the old-location don't get automatically redirected to the new location. I have two options of getting a measure of number of daily hits for an article, as far as I can see:

A. On the date of page move - start using new-location data and ignore old-location data B. From the date of page move, add the page-views for old and new locations for each day of data.

My problem is: - Option A will be an under-estimation if some users who are interested in the article still only get to the old location (e.g. from redirects). BTW what do such users see - just a redirect message? - Option B will be an over-estimation if the redirect creates 2 hits for a user which is re-directed - one in the old location and another in the new location. I'd appreciate any advice. Again - great tool! Thanks, Michael

I'd be grateful for any advice about the issue or who I should ask! Again - great tool! Thanks, Michael

Strange rise in number of visits after minor changes

Hallo Henrik,

usually, after changing a page, I find a rise in visits of about 10 to 15 %. When I did some minor changes to a de.wikipedia page (see "Gemeine Pimpernuss" (pimpernöt in Swedish)) recently I found a more than tenfold increase in visits, from 30 or so to more than 400 per day on the next two or three days.

Do you have any explanation for such a big (but not really extraordinary) rise?

Thank you

EckhardLieb (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Every page has a number of "watchers" who become "watchers" either by clicking the blue star at the top the article or (unless opting out) by making a change to the article. If one is a "watcher", he/she will "usually" get an automated email notification every time change is made to the article. (I say "usually" because this does not appear to be 100% consistent). So, figure all the notifications of changes going out, some of the recipients are bound to open the page to see the changes. This will lead to a recorded increase in the number of views.--Akhooha (talk) 17:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
It might be worth mentioning that there are also people who are not necessarily watchers, but just patrol recent changes. In addition, there are many people who are not Wikipedians but who use and monitor certain articles. For example, schools or people just reading the article may notice new blocks of text popping up. The subjects of the articles themselves may be watching, and notifying their friends, family, coworkers, etc... (I edit a lot of Air Force-related articles, and there is always a huge spike when I make a change, so you know they're watching.) Others may have no interest in the article, but are studying Wikipedia itself. Unlike the rest of the internet, we're under a microscope here. Zaereth (talk) 18:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Akhooha and Zaereth. Seeing a bit clearer now. --EckhardLieb (talk) 17:57, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Switch to data files with mobile/zero traffic included

Henrik, it was suggested to post here instructions for switch-over to new page view counts.

1) please change download site https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ -> https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-all-sites/

2) new mobile/zero data are on separate lines with '.m' or '.zero' inserted after language name (like with site urls)

Note: the following special wikimedia.org domain names still also use the postfix '.m': commons|meta|incubator|species|strategy|outreach|usability|quality (so here '.m' does not stand for mobile) While this may be somewhat confusing, '.m' for these special wikis dates back to before our mobile sites existed, and keeping the new file *completely downward compatible* (including quirks and inconsistencies that you already mastered) was a paramount goal.

For more verbose of these instructions see detailed explanation see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pagecounts-all-sites.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Pagecounts raw Daily Stats

I've been looking at http://stats.grok.se, and was looking at parsing the raw data to provide a similar service. However at the speed i'm able to sum hourly hits into daily hits it would take 50 days just to process the historical data back to 2007. It looks like you have already done this. Would it be possible to grab your much reduced version of the data in a compressed format?

Curious stats about a non-existent page, which is an image

Hi Henrik, a user on the French "village pump" (Le Bistro) noticed the 103rd most popular "page" was in fact bogus. You will immediately notice the format of the URL, which is base64-encoded. Decoding it gives a 1x41 PNG image (Vector tab separator?) - do you think it is a bug, or a misconfiguration issue on the fr WP side, or something else? Jzu (talk) 09:24, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Article rankings

Dear Hendrik I am Ingo - user:kipala from swwiki. I have been using your tool quite a lot (it is linked on our swwiki start page https://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mwanzo )

I see that in the background it evaluated rankings because it indicates it like for example "http://stats.grok.se/sw/201510/Tanzania" tells me: "Tanzania has been viewed 2604 times in 201505. This article ranked 10 in traffic on sw.wikipedia.org. "

Is it possible to integrate a query which would give a list of say the 10, 20, 50 most watched articles on a project for a given month? (even at all without limiting to a month would be great!)

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiviewstats/ used to do that and I found it extremely helpful for evaluations in developing our small wikipedia.

But unfortunately it has been out of service for more than a year now and I could not find anybody who could fix it.

So please forgive me for molesting you. If you can do anythin about it it would be wonderful!

Or if multiple editor are working on it and saving and refreshing the page multiple time are those all refreshes counted as different hits? Or are logged-in editors excluded from counts so as to see only the states of "readers" and not "writers"... etc etc... Sorry to bother you for this.

Since it has been nearly two weeks with no action, I believe this user has lost all interest in the page count tool. And since it breaks down so often, I believe that Wikipedia needs to get a new, more reliable one. Juneau Mike (talk) 16:44, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Henrik hasn't edited anything on Wikipedia in nearly 2 years. We can only hope he is alright. It's quite possible that, without anyone to maintain it, the program may be suffering from information entropy. In any case, complaining about it here isn't going to help. There is probably a better forum somewhere, but I don't know where. (Maybe get on Jimbo's page and ask, because there are a lot of techies monitoring it. Zaereth (talk) 17:48, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
As much as I appreciate Henrik's great work over the years, it's pretty incredible that a pageview counter isn't something built into the software and provided by the WMF. –xenotalk 17:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Yep, there's no point dropping a message here about it. I suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) where there are several discussions about it. By the sound of it, this stats.grok.se tool is not going to be fixed, but will get replaced by an alternative. Pasicles (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

MC Potbelly (talk) 00:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)Anthony Oertel When will statistics be updated?

Same problem in the German Wkipedia.--Urfin7 (talk) 20:44, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Pleasee, do you know a Wikipedia administrator ? Best regards.--86.73.64.12 (talk) 21:34, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Henrik is no longer active on Wikipedia! See below for info on stats and where to complain.

Well ask and you shall receive. Per the conversation a couple of sections up, I went and found out some information. There is no point bringing complaints here because they won't be answered. Please see the copy/pasted conversation below:

As many people know, Henrik seems to have disappeared from English Wikipedia. I can only hope he is alright. Unfortunately, there is nobody to monitor the page view stats, and the program seems to be breaking down more and more frequently. People really start freaking out when they are down for just a couple of days, but now we're on 2 weeks. Since I know of no better place to bring this up, I thought I would mention it here, because there are a lot of eyes on this page of people who are far more knowledgeable than I. Is this something that could be monitored and controlled by the WMF, or is there some other problem unknown to the rest of us? Zaereth (talk) 19:18, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
@Zaereth: As part of the m:2015 Community Wishlist Survey the WMF is going to take over page view statistics. They already have a demo set up, it is working, and up-to-date. It can also be used to compare different article views with each other. See https://analytics.wmflabs.org/demo/pageview-api/ for the demo. --Majora (talk) 20:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you very much Majora. That is very helpful. Would you mind if I copy/paste this conversation to Henrik's talk page, so that all the users who go there to complain can see? Zaereth (talk) 23:27, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Of course. Copy and paste away. --Majora (talk) 23:29, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Complaints can be taken to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), where conversations are already underway. Zaereth (talk) 00:06, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

  Thanks for setting up stats.grok.se.

It changed my life for the better and has been a major inspiration in how I choose where to spend my time. I know you are on break. I hope that you are well. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Using Wikipedia traffic data in Influenza Surveillance model

Hi Henrik,

I am a young Medical Student from Portugal, trying to research the application of search queries and wikipedia relevant pages in Influenza prediction and surveillance models. Im contacting you to try to assess the availability of public traffic records of Influenza related pages (such as https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gripe). Maybe you can point me in a good direction?

Best regards, João Sousa

Read the info three sections above this one. Zaereth (talk) 19:14, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

pageview stats

pageview stats seem to be down since February 20 Thank you Robert Seyffert (talk) 03:52, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

You probably mean January 20, 2016. Example. Regards, Hansmuller (talk) 10:43, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
There is a demo-site providing a similar result. You find it as https://analytics.wmflabs.org/demo/pageview-api/ - You may want to show Majora your appreciation for suggesting that solution. It works for me. Yotwen (talk) 10:19, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

stats.grok.se API

Hi,

I have been using the API available at stats.grok.se, but it appears to have gone offline as of 1/20. Do you have any plans to continue maintaining it?

Thank you either way for the use I've gotten out of it so far!

Thanks,

Read the top of the Talk page, folks – Henrik hasn't posted since August 2014. For all intents and purposes, stats.grok.se should be considered "abandoned"... Various people, including the WMF itself, are working on a replacement – the current replacement (probably should be considered "in beta") is: https://tools.wmflabs.org/musikanimal/pageviews. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Abrufstatistik "Jörg Weinöhl"

Hi Henrik,

I noticed that the stats for the page on "Jörg Weinöhl" are no longer active since sometime late January. Is there a problem which you can help resolve?
