stats.grok.se server error

Hi, Henrik,

I am not sure whether you are in charge of the website stats.grok.se, but the About section says that you are the person to contact with a comment or question. It appears that page view data is not accessible for the months of February and March. Inputting a search term for February (201502) returns an Internal Server Error message; inputting a term for March (201503) returns a zero count for all days. All other months appear to be unaffected. I've tried it with several search terms, so whatever the issue, it does not appear to be idiosyncratic to any one particular Wikipedia page. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

What happens to page-views after a page-move?

Dear Henrik, This is a super cool tool you've created in page-views statistics!!

I'm trying to use the very cool stats.grok.se to get page-views data for article.

1. One challenge is that the data in stats.grok is per URL, not per article, so when the page is moved.

2. Using the Wikipedia API I managed to get hold of all the dates and URL changes I need, The new link data is only relevant from when the change is mad, BUT I'm not sure how to treat old-link page-views after the date of the page move:

3. After the page-move - there are many times page-views numbers for the same days on both links. For example: for this movie: - these data start 21 Aug 2008, but the Revision history shows that was a date of a link change. AND - Old link data continues after the link change date.

If New_link_data was always the maximum page-views, I could assume the old location is still getting hits just as users are being redirected from it to the new page location. but this is not he case. Also I know that redirects to the old-location don't get automatically redirected to the new location. I have two options of getting a measure of number of daily hits for an article, as far as I can see:

A. On the date of page move - start using new-location data and ignore old-location data B. From the date of page move, add the page-views for old and new locations for each day of data.

My problem is: - Option A will be an under-estimation if some users who are interested in the article still only get to the old location (e.g. from redirects). BTW what do such users see - just a redirect message? - Option B will be an over-estimation if the redirect creates 2 hits for a user which is re-directed - one in the old location and another in the new location. I'd appreciate any advice. Again - great tool! Thanks, Michael

I'd be grateful for any advice about the issue or who I should ask! Again - great tool! Thanks, Michael

Strange rise in number of visits after minor changes

Hallo Henrik,

usually, after changing a page, I find a rise in visits of about 10 to 15 %. When I did some minor changes to a de.wikipedia page (see "Gemeine Pimpernuss" (pimpernöt in Swedish)) recently I found a more than tenfold increase in visits, from 30 or so to more than 400 per day on the next two or three days.

Do you have any explanation for such a big (but not really extraordinary) rise?

Thank you

EckhardLieb (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Every page has a number of "watchers" who become "watchers" either by clicking the blue star at the top the article or (unless opting out) by making a change to the article. If one is a "watcher", he/she will "usually" get an automated email notification every time change is made to the article. (I say "usually" because this does not appear to be 100% consistent). So, figure all the notifications of changes going out, some of the recipients are bound to open the page to see the changes. This will lead to a recorded increase in the number of views.--Akhooha (talk) 17:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It might be worth mentioning that there are also people who are not necessarily watchers, but just patrol recent changes. In addition, there are many people who are not Wikipedians but who use and monitor certain articles. For example, schools or people just reading the article may notice new blocks of text popping up. The subjects of the articles themselves may be watching, and notifying their friends, family, coworkers, etc... (I edit a lot of Air Force-related articles, and there is always a huge spike when I make a change, so you know they're watching.) Others may have no interest in the article, but are studying Wikipedia itself. Unlike the rest of the internet, we're under a microscope here. Zaereth (talk) 18:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Akhooha and Zaereth. Seeing a bit clearer now. --EckhardLieb (talk) 17:57, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Switch to data files with mobile/zero traffic included

Henrik, it was suggested to post here instructions for switch-over to new page view counts.

1) please change download site https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ -> https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-all-sites/

2) new mobile/zero data are on separate lines with '.m' or '.zero' inserted after language name (like with site urls)

Note: the following special wikimedia.org domain names still also use the postfix '.m': commons|meta|incubator|species|strategy|outreach|usability|quality (so here '.m' does not stand for mobile) While this may be somewhat confusing, '.m' for these special wikis dates back to before our mobile sites existed, and keeping the new file *completely downward compatible* (including quirks and inconsistencies that you already mastered) was a paramount goal.

For more verbose of these instructions see detailed explanation see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pagecounts-all-sites.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Pagecounts raw Daily Stats

I've been looking at http://stats.grok.se, and was looking at parsing the raw data to provide a similar service. However at the speed i'm able to sum hourly hits into daily hits it would take 50 days just to process the historical data back to 2007. It looks like you have already done this. Would it be possible to grab your much reduced version of the data in a compressed format?

Curious stats about a non-existent page, which is an image

Hi Henrik, a user on the French "village pump" (Le Bistro) noticed the 103rd most popular "page" was in fact bogus. You will immediately notice the format of the URL, which is base64-encoded. Decoding it gives a 1x41 PNG image (Vector tab separator?) - do you think it is a bug, or a misconfiguration issue on the fr WP side, or something else?

Article rankings

Dear Hendrik I am Ingo - user:kipala from swwiki. I have been using your tool quite a lot (it is linked on our swwiki start page https://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mwanzo )

I see that in the background it evaluated rankings because it indicates it like for example "http://stats.grok.se/sw/201510/Tanzania" tells me: "Tanzania has been viewed 2604 times in 201505. This article ranked 10 in traffic on sw.wikipedia.org. "

Is it possible to integrate a query which would give a list of say the 10, 20, 50 most watched articles on a project for a given month? (even at all without limiting to a month would be great!)

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiviewstats/ used to do that and I found it extremely helpful for evaluations in developing our small wikipedia.

But unfortunately it has been out of service for more than a year now and I could not find anybody who could fix it.

So please forgive me for molesting you. If you can do anythin about it it would be wonderful!

Or if multiple editor are working on it and saving and refreshing the page multiple time are those all refreshes counted as different hits? Or are logged-in editors excluded from counts so as to see only the states of "readers" and not "writers"... etc etc... Sorry to bother you for this.
