About the pageviews statistics tool, you may want to read some FAQs before.

How can I find out the top viewed pages for any given project?

I love the tool. Keep it going.Vocalmusicpa (talk) 15:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great tool.

I would like to find what are the most viewed articles in a given category or under a given portal. The answer given in your FAQ under the above listing doesn't seem to work, I get the top 100 for the fr:Wikipedia. Is that solution limited to English ?

I would appreciate if you could put a copy to your answer in may user's page. --AnTeaX (talk) 11:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Henrik's tool is built to do that. If the list isn't too extensive, you could input them into tools:~emw/wikistats/ to see a comparison. Killiondude (talk) 21:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pageview statistics

I very much appreciate your statistics tool at http://stats.grok.se/en/201101/ --Greenmaven (talk) 02:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! henrik•talk 09:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
just thought I'd agree with Jack Greenmaven without adding yet another section to your talk-page.Ion G Nemes (talk) 05:05, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Me too. It means that contributing doesn't feel like wetting yourself in dark trousers (i.e. you get a nice warm feeling, but nobody else notices). Nothing more satisfying than seeing "in writing/improving this article, I've helped x people learn a little bit more". Cheers again, Brammers (talk/c) 16:14, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stats

Hello, your tool "stats.grok.se" is very efficient. A very good work. Have you the same tool for the Wiktionary's projects (the french one...) ? Anyway : thank you. Stephane8888 (talk) 10:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mais oui. It's not visible in the interface, but if you go to this url: http://stats.grok.se/fr.d/ you'll get the top list, and can click to specific articles. Just replace the last part of the URL to go to any article on the French wiktionary. henrik•talk 10:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your statistics tool. It is very useful. I linked to it on a french portal : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Portail:Records#Statistiques Lionel Allorge (talk) 14:41, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, really helpful ! On fr.wiktionary : here and there. Stephane8888 (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Joy

It caused me great joy when I discovered that you had closed the RFC regarding classified documents. I was searching for the discussion to reopen it because I'm not feeling well enough to undertake such a task, but now I don't have to.

For stepping in on a difficult task and causing this editor to feel on at least cloud two or three. Danger (talk) 23:36, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphing article traffic

I would like to be able to graph article traffic statistics over a more extended period of time (not just per month), something like y-axis: page views, x-axis: time in months. Is this possible? If so, how would I do it for example with the list of cutaneous conditions? Regardless, thank you so much for your work on Wikipedia! ---My Core Competency is Competency (talk) 18:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

stats

can you put the names of the users who visit on? RCSprinter123 (talk) 11:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Wikipedia users who visit a given article? No. henrik•talk 21:50, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, i thought it would be good to because then i can see who is visiting the pages. maybe this is a markup thing? let me know.
RCSprinter123 (talk) 17:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It would be a gross violation of our privacy policy. Which articles you visit is private information, something you may not want to share with the world. So I'm afraid it can't be done. henrik•talk 17:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have altered a recent block of yours...

Hi. This is not something I have done before, and since I acted without consulting you I feel you are owed an explanation. While reviewing the contrib history of User:74.3.128.130 I noted not only were they an educational ip address, but that they were blocked on 22 October 2010 (UTC) for 3 months - thus, per my edit summary, the last block had only expired two days ago. As such, I strongly felt that the tariff should be increased rather than repeated - so I actioned the sanction I had already conflicted with you on. If you feel that my actions were inappropriate and that your original determination was correct then you may revert my with my express permission. I do feel, however, that escalating blocks are the usual practice in these matters. Regards, LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:54, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw - I'll have your bit for this! *lol* No seriously, no worries: I'm perfectly happy being overruled by someone with better judgment - 6 months is probably better. :) henrik•talk 22:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

stats.grok.se doesn't distinguish titles that only differ by case?

Pulp fiction (dab) and Pulp Fiction (article about film) are not the same page, but stats.grok.se is saying they get the exact same number of page views, indicating it's looking at the same page in both cases.

Why is that? Is there an algorithm that lower-cases the entire title before checking? If so, that would be a bug. Known? Thanks. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, titles that differ only by case are counted the same in the presentation. It has to do with getting slightly more accurate numbers without having to implement full redirect tracking. henrik•talk 14:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

stats compliment and comment

Hello, I love stats.grok.se. There is very useful information on that page. My compliments. Being able to visualize the day-by-day changes to a page is useful, but probably not as useful as being able to visualize the month-to-month changes to a page. Do you have any plans to being able to pull-back and graph month bars over a few years? Also, is the source open? Thanks. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 12:08, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can view monthly summaries by manually altering the URL. See http://stats.grok.se/en/2010/Esperanto for example. It's also discussed in the FAQ (question 4). Killiondude (talk) 17:37, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia single-article stats

Hi, I would like to know where raw data for your stats app come from. Is it an open data source? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.23.48.76 (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

user:domas publishes the data at http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ . (Question #8 on the FAQ.) Killiondude (talk) 07:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sweden

How can it be original research when it says so black and white?. See:List of countries by future Human Development Index projections of the United Nations. Regararding the fact that Sweden and Zimbabwe were the only countries with a declining human development in the 2000s i urge request that you find another country in the survey that had so as well. is the report. Best regards. Alphasinus (talk) 09:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That UN report is a primary source, and the conclusions you wrote were extracted from it. Wikipedia, as a tertiary source, relies on reliable secondary sources to interpret, weigh and synthesize conclusions from many primary sources. A single primary source is one viewpoint, and can often be misleading unless you weigh it with others. And that is something we rely on reliable secondary sources to do. A single UN report isn't a good enough source to draw that far reaching conclusions from, you'll need to show that it was the mainstream view among relevant exports.
In principle, I have no objections to including some limited information regarding the future of the country's economy, but highly speculative projections decades into the future does not belong in the lead of a general overview article, such as Sweden. Perhaps Economy of Sweden or some even more specialized article? henrik•talk 12:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your argument and i have to admit that i got a little to eager after encountering the study. Perhaps it could be added to Social issues in Sweden or something. What is your position regarding the developent of the standard of living in Sweden during the 2000s by the way?Alphasinus (talk) 13:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there is no Social issues in Sweden article right now, but Social Security (Sweden) and Swedish welfare exists (which are two articles that should probably merged into one btw). If you want to work on those, I'd be glad to lend a hand.
I have no definite opinions on the development on the standard of living in Sweden during the 2000s, but anecdotally I'd say that there probably hasn't been any major changes. Mainly ups and downs in conjunction with the global business cycles. Remember that 2000 was the peak of the previous business cycle (the dot-com boom) and 2010 was just out of the credit crunch, so given the two very different business cycle phases of 2010 and 2000, they're perhaps not the best years to compare. henrik•talk 14:50, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stats App

Hello,

actually, the stats app actually ends at January 2011. Because now it's February, I would ask for the possibility, that the popups (and functions) for the months became features for the complete year (here: 2012). I would found this very nice ;-) Greets --79.255.3.103 (talk) 09:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, once and for all. I hope this is the last message I see requesting this :) henrik•talk 20:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page View Statistics

Hello Henrik,

I find the page view statistics a very helpful thing; thank you.

But something puzzles me about it. The first article I contributed seems to be getting a dozen plus views every day. This really surprises me, because the subject is not that well known. I see some days where the number of views reaches 45 or so, and I can understand that occasionally someone researches my subject. But a steady flow of 13-14 views per day? I have trouble imagining that there is such a consistent, low-level interest in the subject.

I wonder if some kind of routine visits by bots also get counted as page views?

VanArtGuy (talk) 17:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's probably search bots or other automated traffic. I don't know exactly though, the stats doesn't include data that identifies the hits in any way. 20:33, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Page View Statistics

The stats viewer needs to have February 2011 added. This is getting silly - just go ahead and make it add it automatically, either in whatever language you use to generate that page, or in javascript :). Or send me the source code, then I will fix it for you once and for all.

Also, it should trim() the article titles, for when you accidentally paste "User:Henrik " instead of "User:Henrik". Thue | talk 16:31, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! Quite right, thanks for shaming me into fixing this finally. The months are fixed now, and I also implemented a show trailing 30 days as a bonus feature (replace the month in the url by the string 'latest').
At least Firefox seems to trim any trailing spaces from the url by itself (unless written as %20), but I added a trim too. henrik•talk 20:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent - thanks :). I am using the Chromium browser, which does not seem to remove the spaces automatically. Thue | talk 22:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

http://stats.grok.se once a question

Hi! Thank you very much for this tool. Could I ask you to advise me with some questions?

The first one is next -
these two pages [1] [2] shows that the article uk:Ленін_Володимир_Ілліч had a huge boom of interest between 16.11.2010 and 11.12.2010. This looks quite strange - we didn't have any event that could inspire such arise these days. Could it be a bug or something like that?
And the second one if you don`t mind -
is it possible to explore top pages for whole the year? We are most interested in Ukrainian and Finish wikipedias statistics. I would be grateful if this would be possible. Our interest is to arise popularity of projects. Thanks in advance, --A1 (talk) 17:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Visitor traffic

Your wiki visitor traffic stats are really great idea and very useful , any more features coming ?

I hope you're still supporting it and will hopefully have place to keep it running for a long time to come , thank you. Xowets (talk) 23:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto on usefulness! I was just looking at them; what do the 'high-traffic' Special:Export stats mean? for instance for Special:Export/SynchronizationStartTime [3] and individual articles [4] ? –SJ+ 08:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Another vote of support for the pageview statistics. I hope your work is a permanent part of Wikipedia. Very useful. Thanks. HowardMorland (talk) 04:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Official support of Belarusian (Taraškievica) in Pageview statistics

Perhaps, you are already got on with it, but I'd ask you to add Belarusian (Taraškievica) (be-x-old.wikipedia.org) to the list of projects here. That would be really great! Thanks. Wizardist (talk) 23:56, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

number of views

Dear Henrik,

Could I get the number of views of a particular Wikipedia page (say for the last 2 years) in Excel or Asci format?
