Talk:Analytics

Only Wikipedia?
From analytics: "A mailing list for the Analytics Team at WMF and everybody who has an interest in Wikipedia and analytics. If you enjoy counting stuff on / about Wikipedia and you have a question then please sign up and the Analytics Team will try to help you as best as it can". Only Wikipedia? Usually research/data questions go to wiki-research-l and I've not seen them on this list yet, isn't the list rather about WMF infrastructure for analytics and research? --Nemo 09:38, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's mostly about infrastructure and software for analytics but I would like to be inclusive when it comes to the topics. Drdee (talk) 20:24, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Question
I was wondering if it would be hard to get a table with all the languages that these 80 articles are written in (en:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_task_force/Popular_pages) with the current page views per day? Are there tutorials for non-software-engineers available on how to do this? --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Or would it be possible to track all the articles that use a WikiProjects template? There would be some interest from WikiProject Medicine to track all their marked articles and also see how many views they get in different languages. --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Tobias1984,
 * Assuming that you don't need up-to-the-minute numbers, I believe that both of these lists could be done with an occasional database report. That means that you want to ask someone like User:MZMcBride or User:Ironholds for help.  They'll both know people who can do this and perhaps might be interested.  If you want it to run regularly, then talking to User:Mr.Z-man (who runs the bot that updates the popular pages reports) would be my suggestion for the first person to contact.
 * Your idea about having a tutorial for normal people (like you and me) to learn how to do this is also a good one. We'd need someone to create an instructional page.  User:Ocaasi is good at explaining things, but I don't know if he knows how to do this either.  Do you think that a written instruction page would be best, or a video (like a recording of someone teaching a "class" on this)?
 * BTW, I'm likely to see your ideas much sooner if you post them at w:en:WT:MED. ;-)   Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:02, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Another question
This page is infrequently updated. Does that mean that this project is in limbo? Or just that the team are volunteers and haven't had time to work on it? 69.125.134.86 22:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Changes
I've made some fairly wholesale changes to the site in preparation for our quarterly review later this month.

All of the engineering resources have been moved to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Engineering

New Report Card - request for earlier data
Hey all,

The New Report Card is really great. Is there any chance you can get it to show data all the way back to the beginning rather than just 2011? I'm interested in looking at our whole history of active editor numbers, and would also like to be able to compare active, medium-active and very-active editor levels.

Thanks, —  Scott  •  talk  13:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Is there anything that doesn't have? That's the main site and has all the important data. --Nemo 20:33, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
