Analytics/Pageviews/Mobile

=Mobile Analytics= The purpose of this page is to gather all the different documents, discussions and ideas related to Mobile Analytics and to define a list with the *most* important metrics. Please feel free to add any missing data, this document is almost certain to be incomplete.

Mobile Metrics
Please understand that there needs to be a compilation of mobile data from more sources than currently being tracked in Erik Zachte's report. That is why we broke down the sources of data in a different way: The following is currently not part of Nimish's analysis:
 * Page Views:
 * Mobile frontend
 * Mobile to desktop site
 * Our apps
 * API usage, mostly by external apps

Beyond that, we have two other priorities:


 * page views by country
 * trending articles by country


 * partner stats, primarily carriers

The following is only useful if organized in the way above:


 * breakdown by device (phones, WAP, scraping)
 * breakdown by geography
 * breakdown by partner (Wikimedia Zero)
 * breakdown by device manufacturer
 * breakdown by official apps (iOS, Android, Symbian, etc)
 * mobile device that access desktop version (editing vs. viewing)
 * API (other apps, anything else)
 * MediaWiki API
 * Mobile Frontend API (eventually part of MW API), does not include screen scraping of mobile site
