Wikipedia article traffic statistics
Hallo Henrik, what the matter that the views to articles in Wikipedia on July 12 and 13 are not countet? Kindest regards -- 80.144.249.207 (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2011 (Lothar Spurzem)
Statistics
Hi! I'm Nicolai from the Faroese Wikipedia. I just found the website http://stats.grok.se/ with statistics over visited Wikipedia-articles on several Wikis. How come the Faroese Wikipedia isn't included, and what can I do to include it? Niceley) 01:08 PM July 28th 2011
Does page view statistics include red link views?
I notice that page view statistics for The Man Who Crossed Hitler is showing traffic for the three days before the article was created. Is this the number of times people clicked on a red link? Jim Craigie (talk) 04:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Hourly Wikipedia Traffic
You should track the traffic hourly along with how you do it daily, monthly, and yearly. By the minute or ticker would be even better!--75.139.100.70 (talk) 16:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

It me it seems that the raw data is being collected correctly, see http://dammit.lt/wikistats/. So it seems that there's something wrong with the tool. The Wikimedia Foundation has been planning to create a better tool for this. I don't know what the status is, though. Perhaps ask User:Erik Zachte, he's the foundation's statistic's guy. -- Duesentrieb-formerly-Gearloose (?!) 14:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Page views for the current year?
For an article like laundry symbol one can view the page views per month for august or september it works alright. But if page views for the current year 2011 is requested then, there's nothing. But another year like 2010 works alright. Could you fix stats for the current year? Another neat number in the page views would be the mean number of page views. As this makes it easier to spot significant changes. Electron9 (talk) 02:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

question
I have been using the Wikipedia article traffic statistics for a couple of weeks now. I wonder if its not possible to add this nice app to the Wikipedia articles themselves. I mean... as a button allowing you to check the number of visits directly? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albert Kok (talk • contribs) 17:21, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
- ThumbsUp for this suggestion Ottawahitech (talk) 05:13, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- There's a script for this somewhere so it puts it on in the toolbx on the left side of the page for users who've opted in. Failing that, there's a link on the history view for each page. Killiondude (talk) 08:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Incorrect stats?
http://stats.grok.se/en.b/201109/OpenGL_Programming
30,000 visits on September 8th?? That would be great, but none of the other wikibooks page show any increase in traffic, so I suppose there's a bug somewhere :/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beuc (talk • contribs) 08:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- You could check yourself to see if the bug was in Henrik's tool or the source data by reviewing the source. http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ Killiondude (talk) 08:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

This means there's a bug in Henrik's tool? Beuc (talk) 12:05, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that the tool is posting to the wrong day. Looking at http://stats.grok.se/en.b/201109/OpenGL_Programming, 210 views should be on the 8th and 30k views on the 9th. http://stats.grok.se/en.b/latest/OpenGL_Programming has the days correct. —Bruce1eetalk 14:31, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

So that would be in the stats. That's pretty weird. Do you have any contact who could investigate? Beuc (talk) 09:39, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Henrik hasn't been active here since March this year, so I doubt he'll see this. I did send him an email last week at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Henrik about this issue, but I haven't heard from him. The only other person I can think of is Killiondude, who responded above. —Bruce1eetalk 10:07, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Henrik occasionally uses irc. I can poke him there if I see him but from what I've heard he also checks his email somewhat frequently. It's really nice of Henrik to put this tool together but it's also very lazy for the Wikimedia Foundation to not have a tool like this of their own. Relying on a third party volunteer for years is not ideal. Killiondude (talk) 03:04, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, and kudos to Henrik. —Bruce1eetalk 05:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I've noticed incorrect data on a minor level for a long time. By that I'm talking about pages that average under a hundred hits a day. Some days, the exact number of hits register two or more days in a row. I'll test it by adding a random number of extra hits on my own. And, yet, it still does that repetition error. And after a few days, the stats go up or down. I think either the source data or the tool is not 100% accurate all the time.Maile66 (talk) 15:13, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Stats for article 'Yeung Kui-wan'
The 'Yeung Kui-wan' article has been newly created by renaming the article 'Yang Quyun'. At present, the statistics are typical for a new article, but also include hits on the 'Yeung Kui-wan Redirect' to the old 'Yang Quyun' article.
Would it be possible for the statistics for this article be integrated with the old statistics when it was called 'Yang Quyun'? Duncan.france (talk) 00:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

deletion of Letter to Hillary Clinton
Hello Henrik, could you please lend a hand with my, continuing problems with getting a new article up, I wrote the page first and then adjusted the main page of Rick Perry for reflect the same wording. I would like your hep to recreate the letter.
Since you seem to be from Sweden, I have a question about Wikileaks,
Lastly do you remember this,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks
Military's 'sock puppet' software creates fake online identities to spread pro-American propaganda
The article of course notes the use of fake accounts for American purposes and I believe naturally that other countries could use the same tactic to influence American elections
The reason I mention it is noted on the Discussion page of Rick Perry

Why are there views showing for non-existent articles?
I have just added a new article Randall Denley to Wikipedia, but was surprised to find out it already had some views recorded before I created it: http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Randall_Denley Just curious why that is? Ottawahitech (talk) 17:21, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Were there red-links from other articles to this article before you created it? I think clicks to red-linked (non-existent) articles are recorded as well. —Bruce1eetalk 07:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- In the last couple of days I tried to add some wikilinks (so that I could build an article), but they were promptly removed. In any case, I just found out that in July of this year there were 82 views of this (at the time, non-existent) article. So how is this possible? Ottawahitech (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- That's because the article existed back then; it was deleted on July 20 (see here). —Bruce1eetalk 05:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for the information. Is there a way to find out also what were the contents of the old deleted article? I ask because Randall Denley is threatened with deletion, once more, even though it has had over 300 views in the last couple of days. Not too shabby for a stub that has only been up for 4 days in my experience. Ottawahitech (talk) 05:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- You can contact the admin who deleted it for the contents, or any other admin for that matter. —Bruce1eetalk 05:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The article about Randall Denley was deleted/redirected as a result of an AFD on Sept 25. I just noticed traffic to this article started building up again on Sept 27 and the Sept views now total 2,120. Can anyone here explain this mystery? Ottawahitech (talk) 12:07, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think there's anything unusual about this. The article still exists (albeit as a redirect), and people are still hitting on it. It could also be a carryover from the AFD – even though the debate is closed, people are still interested in the results. —Bruce1eetalk 12:27, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

1 day missing in the great pageviews statistics tool
Hi Henrik,
Your pageviews statistics tool is great, and I periodically check it in the "Southamerica Life Quality Rankings" article I created. It worked perfect until almost 1 month ago, then somehow it stopped providing daily statistics, then it went back, but now it seems that 1 day is missing, overlapped or something else, not knowing if it’s the last day or some previous one.
The way to check what I say is opening the 30 continuous days original graph, which supposedly shows statistics until yesterday (September 20 in today’s case), but then when you check the current month statistics graph (201109 and "Go") the data exist only until September 19, which value is the same value the first graph shows for September 20, and where September 1 value is the one showed as September 2 value in the first graph. So far as I understand, correct August 31 value is indeed 178 in this article case and one September value is missing.
Southamerica2010 (talk) 14:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- The monthly figures appear to be one day off. Compare this with this. The view counts are the same in both graphs, but displaced by a day. See also this post above. —Bruce1eetalk 14:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
I checked a couple of minutes ago and now both graphs are displaced by 2 days. Southamerica2010 (talk) 23:06, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I don't know what's going on now. Henrik hasn't been active here since March this year and a few of us have been trying to contact him, but we have to remember that this is a personal project of his that he has kindly made public. —Bruce1eetalk 05:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- An additional detail about the displacement: the WP article about the order op operations, a school topic, should receive less page views on saturdays and sundays. But in this graph the minimum is displaced to Friday and Saturday, and in this graphit is displaced to Sunday and Monday. Ceinturion (talk) 21:20, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Today I tried the stats programme on articles in several WPs, but the search always resulted in a total blank. What is happening? -- 79.168.88.85 (talk) 13:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- Which articles and which WPs are you looking at? —Bruce1eetalk 14:22, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks to Southamerica and to Bruce Lee for this information. I noticed myself a couple of weeks ago that the stats looked "funny". However, someone gave it a nudge and the system worked OK for a few days, but now we are back to a situation where the bars are not updating, but simply sliding forward to make it look like the tool is working, when in fact it is not. Yes, Henrik did a fantastic job, but isn't it time for Wikipedia to start officially supporting this wonderful tool? Ottawahitech (talk) 01:36, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, Wikipedia should lend a hand here. —Bruce1eetalk 05:58, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Just a speculation - and I sure hope I am wrong: it appears that the readership of Wikipedia is trending down. At least that of the Main page is:
- Main_Page has been viewed
- 2,193,142,791 times in 2008.
- 1,869,746,634 times in 2009

- Just a speculation - and I sure hope I am wrong: it appears that the readership of Wikipedia is trending down. At least that of the Main page is:
