Talk:MediaWiki Developer Summit 2015/Lessons learned
Add topicGraphing the survey data
[edit]Thanks to Yuri, we have Extension:Graph that can draw graphs of numbers!
For grins, I took the first question's numbers, fiddled around in the editor for the Graph extension's underlying data format Vega until something showed up, and stuck them in a <graph> tag, below. Edit this wiki page to see the markup.
- I couldn't figure out how to add legends/markers for the x values ("Very satisfied"... "Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied"...).
- Rachel's original tables had percentages next to each number (19 - 30%, 40 - 63%, ...), can Vega transforms compute the percentages? I think Vega can show the other number on hover.
- Should scale the y axis to either 100% or the total number of responses.
- Maybe a pie chart is better, I couldn't figure that out.
- Or keep bar chart and there's probably a way to put several questions with the same x values on one chart in different colors.
- (Dammit Jim, I write doc, I don't read it!)
... and the $64,000 question
- How much of this be automated? Can we just point it directly at the Google Form spreadsheet data, or an exported version, and the Magic Happens™.
How satisfied were you with the schedule in general?
[edit](A graph used to appear here but the Graph extension was disabled due to security issues. In January 2025 I rebuilt the graphs below using the Chart extension, but didn't see the need to duplicate this experiment - Pppery)
Template test
[edit]To save embedding multiple copies of verbose <graph> instructions, this uses a local template (the /Graph subpage). Just give it the title and the 5 counts and you're done!
