    • Yeah, the stats are dead.

Thank You

Dear Mr. Henrik,

Thank you for your development. I have found it very useful. I know we editors are not suppose to have egos, but it is nice to know from time to time that the world finds the article we research and help others with are for some purpose.

Again, thanks.

Question about article traffic statistics

Hello Henrik. I like the tool very much and hope it doesn't disappear. I am curious as to 1 question. If a user reaches the article via a redirect, is that counted as a hit for the redirect, the article, or perhaps both? Thanks for considering this query. My76Strat 16:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is discussed above at #Stats.grok.se– are all hits on a redirect counted?. Emw thinks it is counted on both the redirect's hit count and the target's hit count. However, I collected all the answers for the FAQ page from Henrik's archives, and so somewhere there's an answer about this where it says that redirects' hits aren't counted in the target page (at least, in theory there's a thread about this in the archive ;-)). Killiondude (talk) 23:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found henrik's answer about this: User talk:Henrik/Archive 4#redirect counts. I think that's where I got the answer for the FAQ page. Unless the page count technical stuff has changed in the last two years (which I would have no idea about), that is probably the correct answer. Killiondude (talk) 23:24, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that response. I wish I had done better screening the FAQ prior to my question. In this case it appears I could have. Thanks and kind regards. My76Strat 02:43, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for an improvement

( about the way to compare the statistics of "translated" articles ). Now, if for example I want to take this path ( I am French ): [1] (1) --> [2] (2), I must do this : (1) > "Al-Qaida au Maghreb islamique" > "Al-Qaeda_Organization_in_the_Islamic_Maghreb" > "View history" > "Page view statistics" > (2). Would it not be possible to "automate" the desired change by simply changing the selected language (of the "stats.grok" page) ?. Thank you. Blogbreather (talk) 12:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently augmenting http://toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/ to enable that kind of functionality. At the moment, users can view traffic data on multiple pages within one project (e.g. viewing traffic for articles 'Yellow', 'Red' and 'Blue' within the English Wikipedia). My idea for the implementation of your suggestion is to allow users to also view traffic data for one article across multiple projects -- for example data on 'Yellow' for the English Wikipedia, and its corresponding articles on the German and French Wikipedias. This involves programmatically determining the title of the article in other languages via the Mediawiki API, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=langlinks&titles=Yellow. I will need to finish restructuring the application code for the visualization tool, too. Emw (talk) 12:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary traffic

Hello. I am a Wiktionary administrator. I very much appreciate your page http://stats.grok.se/en.d/201010/example that provides pageviews of entries of Wiktionary; thank you for your work.

If I may make a relevant suggestion, can you please add the option "Wiktionary" to the <select name="proj">? I currently, apparently have to edit the address bar, when I want to search for Wiktionary entries. Thank you in advance. --Daniel. (talk) 02:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest adding a link to wikt:MediaWiki:Histlegend, similar to what w:en:MediaWiki:Histlegend, Commons:MediaWiki:Histlegend, and meta:MediaWiki:Histlegend have. It makes it easier to grab page stats for a particular page. Killiondude (talk) 04:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

traffic counts

Hi Henrik, It seems to me that the Hebrew statistics aren't up to date. In most cases I get 12-2009 info, except if I ask for a specific article. e.g. [3] vs [4] (which was #40 in 12-2009). Also, the ranking per article is always the same as 12-2009. See [5] and [6], it can't be ranked 4th with ~1000 hits per month. And another question - Is that are way to get the hits data itself for an academic research? Thanks Liorkaplan (talk) 19:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The last time Henrik ran the query to come up with the "top hits" data was in 12-2009. It doesn't update automatically. Specific article hits per year are calculated automatically (adding all the sums from the source data). For the remainder of your answers, I think you'll find the FAQ useful. Killiondude (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Liorkaplan: While a ranking isn't currently available, you can get aggregate page view count (as well as average views per day and standard deviation in page views per day) over an any given date range at http://toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/. For example: http://toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/?p1=בן_גוריון&project=he&from=12/10/2007&to=10/30/2010&plot=1 has data on the page you asked about. (Apologies if that's not the correct one, I don't know any Hebrew.) Page view data is also available in tabular and .csv format there for your page of interest.

Wikipedia article traffic statistics questions

Hello Ηenrik,

I'm researching the popularity of Wikipedia articles containing verious terms and I've come across your very useful page at http://stats.grok.se/. I've also perused at the raw statistics files available from there. I'd like to ask you about the meaning of the various fields in the files. E.g. the line

en.b Anatomy_and_Physiology_of_Animals/The_Skeleton 10 144185

I suppose 'en' refers to the language version, however I don't understand what the 'b' stands for. This pattern occurs in multiple lines with other letters following the language code. Do these letter correspond perhaps to other wikiprojects, such as wikibooks?

The last number (144185) must be the number of hits, but what does the previous number (10) stand for?

I'd like to be able to work with the raw data for reasons of speed and so as not to burden your server.

Best regards, Anthony J. Patrinos 10:48, 31 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrinos (talk • contribs)

I assume you're asking about the files available at http://dammit.lt/wikistats/, which is what Henrik uses as the input data for stats.grok.se. In 'en.b', the 'b' stands for Wikibooks. The second-to-last number (10) refers to the number of hits, and I think the last number (144185) refers to the number of bytes transferred (i.e. page size * number of hits). Keep in mind that the data in any one of those files covers traffic for only one hour, as indicated in the name of the file.
Because it offers raw data (in tabular and CSV format) for up to three articles at a time, the tool at http://toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/ may be useful for your research. If you'd like to automate the process, you can manipulate a URL to get quicker access to traffic data in a format suitable for your own analysis. For example: http://toolserver.org/~emw/index.php?c=rawdata&m=rawdata&p1=Deval_Patrick&p2=Charles_D._Baker,_Jr.&p3=Tim_Cahill_%28politician%29&project=en&from=12/10/2007&to=10/30/2010. You can also see the plotted data, e.g. http://toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/?p1=Deval_Patrick&p2=Tim_Cahill_%28politician%29&p3=Charles_D._Baker,_Jr.&project=en&from=12/10/2007&to=10/30/2010&plot=1. Emw (talk) 11:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Emw: Thank you very much for the clarifications and the tips for the other tools. In terms of using the tools (your's and Henrik's), I was wondering what an appropriate use measure would be. I've automated the process with perl for using Henrik's tool with article titles I've retrieved using the Wikimeida API. However, the terms I'm searching for appear in about 14000 articles. Running my tool for one month takes about an hour. Would I be causing trouble if I ran it repeatedly over the next few days? This is actually the main reason that I'm considering using the raw pagecounts instead of the online tools.

Patrinos 17:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrinos (talk • contribs)

The raw data files from Domas are quite large -- averaging about 60 MB per file, where one file represents data for all public Wikimedia traffic for one hour. So processing all raw traffic data for, say, a year would require processing about 526 GB of data; for the ~3 years of all available traffic data, about 1.5 TB.
Monthly page view data from stats.grok.se is available in machine-readable format at http://stats.grok.se/json/en/201010/Main_Page. If you were to pull in all available traffic data -- since 12/2007, or about 33 full months -- through Henrik's JSON service for your 14,000 articles of interest, it'd require sending about 462,000 HTTP requests.
Because it gives data for arbitrary date ranges and supports comparing up to three pages at a time, toolserver.org/~emw/wikistats/ could make it so that you only need to do only about 4,700 HTTP requests. The data is available in JSON format through URLs of the form http://toolserver.org/~emw/index.php?c=wikistats&m=get_traffic_data&p1=Red&p2=Yellow&p3=Green&project=en&from=12/10/2007&to=10/30/2010. Presumably the data would also be easier to process on your end.
To throttle the load on stats.grok.se, I'd recommend programming in some wait time between requests -- either between individual requests or between sets of requests. Emw (talk) 20:03, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the monthly page view data, it will certainly save a great amount of bandwidth comapred to loading the full results page every time and parsing it on my side for getting just one number! I will probably not require more than a few months for my project, certainly not the entire available data set. It would be nice if this API were public. I will certainly consider the other solutions you propose. Thanks again!
Patrinos 06:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
EMW: I've looked at the tool you proposed in your previous message and it seems almost perfect for the task at hand. However, I don't need the monthly(?) data, just the total number for the time period is sufficient. So the natural question to ask is whether an option is available to ask only for the total number of page views. This would definitely save a considerable amount of bandwidth.
Best regards, Anthony

Re stats.grok.se — no data for 2010-11?

Anyone else have this experience? The drop-down for months doesn't include 2010-11. I tried purging my cache. I realize that the service is very much beta with no guarantees. I'm just here to compare notes and beg for repair. I've been addicted to it lately for no justifiable reason. Anyway, Henrik, given that it's free, you've already given us more than we could expect, just by giving us the service at all. Thanks. — ¾-10 01:05, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Henrik, Can you please explain the Page View graph. How does it work (i.e. how does on read it)? What do the bar graphs represent, for example? In the Louis Armstrong entry there at the left there are bars marked 4.6k, 5.2k and above the numbers, 1, 2, etc. Then there's the figure 201011, which I assume must mean 2010-2011?

Reading page view

Sorry for my recent question. I studied the graph more carefully and figured it out! 2010 is year, the next 2 digits are month.

I want to thank you for developing such an innovative and useful means to track wiki-page use. We are finding it especially useful in tracking the increase in the use of our page over the last few years, which provides a useful measure of use for our project funders.
