I agree with you about leaving out the suspect's name, especially since it's dealing with a minor. Is there another place to point out where it would be against WP policy besides the "do no harm" reference? The user doesn't seem to think it's enough, so I'm looking for another guideline to show him/her. Then again, the one you mentioned is reason enough but he/she seems to think otherwise. Thank you.

- I didn't know alot of the major news sources had already given out his name...hmmm. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have seen that, but a Wikipedia article will be visible for a long time - probably longer than a news article which will be buried within a few days by new stories. It is important to get it right, especially with minors involved. That is why I am advocating restraint and patience in this case. henrik•talk 22:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Most visited User page
Henrik, I like the site you created which tells us how many hits each wiki article has had. Hoping you can help me out, which user page on wiki do you think is the most visited? Do you have any ideas? I was just interested thats all, there are a lot of crazy ones out there which would have taken people a lot of time to create. Any crazy or unusual ones you could tell me about? Thank YaRoadrunnerz45 (talk) 02:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Top 10 in February were (from 10 downto 1):
- Hey Henrik, this tool is awesome. Is there any way for us mere plebs to query the data directly? e.g supply a date and maybe a namespace (or a list of pages), and an ordered list of results back? thanks! pfctdayelise (talk) 12:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I plan on adding something like that to the web interface soon. (Enter a number of pages or category and see them ranked)
- In the meantime, the data for all pages is available as text files in a few different formats. A list of all pages/accesses on en.wikipedia.org ordered by hits for the first three weeks of February is available here: [1] It's about a 450MB download. The raw data this tool gets its data from is here [2] (hour by hour statistics, not sorted) henrik•talk 12:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!

Surprising result with the statistics page.
Hello !
For the views of "Louis Pasteur" on the French Wikipedia, the results are strange : 53194 in February, the half on the same day... Hard to believe...
(Edit : for January, it is OK.)
Marvoir (talk) 10:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe it was featured in a WP:DYK entry on the front page that day, or in a news story on another web site? Spikes like that usually come from a prominant incoming link, methinks. -Pete (talk) 10:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for this answer. You are likely right.
- Thank you for this answer. You are likely right.
Marvoir (talk) 12:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- I believe that is probably what happened. henrik•talk 12:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for creating the statistics. I've been waiting for this since 2003. I need to know what I do matters. Now I know. More than I ever imagined. Thanks again 71.191.42.242 (talk) 17:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Since When?
Hi! When was the stats page first posted? Thanx! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isa cota (talk • contribs) 19:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- I put up the webpage in early January. User:Midom started collecting the first statistics on the 9th of December. henrik•talk 12:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Minor issues with stats tool
Thanks a lot for the stats tool, it's great! Three minor issues:
- The bottom link to "top list" on http://stats.grok.se/ is broken
- On http://stats.grok.se/en/top I see an entry starting with "skins-1.5/common/skins-1.5/..." listing 60117 hits in February, but if I click on the link the histogram shows zero hits.
- There's an issue with capitalization: "YouPorn" (167173) and "Youporn" (42903) are both listed on the top list, but clicking on either link gives the same histogram, presumably the one belonging to "YouPorn".
Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 04:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- The first two issues have been fixed. Thanks for letting me know! The third will have to await a more permanent fix, right now the top-list is case sensitive while the histogram is not. henrik•talk 12:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Stat tool
Could You alter "see a list of the most viewed pages" behaviour to rely on selected language? It's not useful for users of non english wikis in current form.
TIA, Jacek FH (talk) 11:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- It is only English for now, but other languages will be added later. henrik•talk 12:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Henrik,
- First, congratulations to you and Midom for this awesome tool!
- Are you planning to extend /en/top to other languages? (I'm really interested in fr: myself, but I expect there will be high demand for other wikis as well...)
- Thanks, --Gribeco (talk) 19:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- (Oops, duplicate request -- I merged it with the previous one.)
March 3 and March 4
On the few lookups I did for March, I noted that there was no data on March 3 or March 4, 2008, but then the data returns on March 5. Is this because the story about Jimmy Wales and Rachel Marsden was clogging the server? - Four Thirty-Nine (talk) 21:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, the data was missing for a few hours. I don't know why, but I very much doubt it had anything to do with Jimmy Wales and Rachel Marsden. :) henrik•talk 14:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
can I link this tool?
this is an awsome tool. can i add it to my page? like the way one can add a google search bar to their page?
//i imagine not but could you guys consider it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Larsalan (talk • contribs) 01:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

your little tool to get statistics on any article
Henrik, I have been using your little tool to check how many times an article has been accessed on any day of the month.
Today I noticed it had stopped collecting data since March 6. Have you stopped logging data or has something else happened to your tool?
I am collecting data on some articles.
Thanks Jim Palmer jjj108@gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjj108 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- The stats for the 3rd and 4th of March missed some hours entirely, so I didn't include them. Its still run semi-manually, so it may update a bit irregularly - but I have no plans to stop updating it. henrik•talk 14:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Stat tool caps
I am having trouble figuring out how many views Flying Dragon and Flying dragon are getting because the tool is combining them.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 12:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Same problem with Wigwam and WigWam although it is only one word.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 13:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's a problem in the way I've indexed the database. In most cases, the different cases are redirects to each other main page Main page MAIN PAGE all point to Main Page, and it makes sense to count them together. This of course doesn't work for Wigwam and WigWam. If you go to stats2.grok.se (my dev site, it is where I make changes to test stuff, so it may be broken at any time) instead of stats.grok.se it will count them independently, but note that it can be quite a bit slower. henrik•talk 14:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Problems with ?s
Hello Henrik,
your nice stats-tools have problem with articletitles that end with "?"s. It just remove them :(. --DaB. (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know! henrik•talk 21:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Article hitcount data
The data you put at http://stats.grok.se/~henrik/wikistats/ has been working out well for the selection project; we are almost ready to release tables for public comment. I am writing to ask if you can generate a dump of the full February hitcounts or (better) the hitcounts for the last several months. I can combine them if they are in different files. We want to try to eliminate, as much as possible, errors due to random fluctuations in hitcounts. By the way, someone else asked me if there are user-agent statistics available; do you know if there is public data bout those? — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Great. I'd wager there is quite a bit of random fluctuations in just a month long sample, so I'll try to compile a similar list for a longer period of time. I've compiled the list for all of February now, maybe I should rerun January too (What's up with canine reproduction for example?)
- As for the second question: No, as far as I know I don't think user-agent statistics are available. henrik•talk 22:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
redirect counts
I was a little puzzled by the Jan stats for Keith Bostic (American football) because it was on the main page at DYK. Then I looked at Keith Bostic (football player) and saw different numbers. What is the logic for redirects and when a page gets moved do the stats move?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 18:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- It counts the title the page was accessed under, so redirects and moves will unfortunately split the statistics across two different statistics pages. henrik•talk 22:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Would it be possible to change the logic to analyze the final destination page? I am having trouble comparing Hillary Rodham Clinton because her alternate spelling redirects are much more commonly accessed than Barack Obama's. Hillary seems to not be located at the proper location because her final destination page is not her most popular location. It seems she gets more than 3x as many hits on the name she is known by. Below are counts for redirects to her page that have other pages linked to them and that got 1000 views:
- Hillary_Clinton has been viewed 646899 times in 200802
- Hillary_Rodham_Clinton has been viewed 216743 times in 200802
- Hilary_Clinton has been viewed 81365 times in 200802
- Hillary_Rodham has been viewed 4131 times in 200802
- Hillary_Rodham_Clinton_controversies has been viewed 1790 times in 200802
- Hilliary_Clinton has been viewed 1458 times in 200802
- Barack_Obama has been viewed 2625243 times in 200802
- Obama has been viewed 508977 times in 200802
- Barak_Obama has been viewed 83555 times in 200802
- Barrack_Obama has been viewed 43756 times in 200802
- Barack has been viewed 12617 times in 200802
- Barrak_Obama has been viewed 3693 times in 200802
- Barack_Hussein_Obama has been viewed 3049 times in 200802
- Barach_Obama has been viewed 1745 times in 200802
- Unfortunately not easily, but I agree it would be useful. I'll see if I can come up with something. henrik•talk 21:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Stats tool error?
Hi there - the tool's great!
I'm looking at Canine reproduction, and something seems weird. It sits at a steady 500 views/day in January [3], then in mid-Feb leaps to 170,000 over the course of a day or two [4] and then in early March drops back down to a steady 9k [5]. Any idea what might be causing this behaviour? It doesn't look at all plausible to me, and I'm wondering if there's a glitch in the system... Shimgray | talk | 21:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I thought the same, just thought I'd mention. Dog and List of dog breeds are also relatively high, but nothing like as ridiculously. Also, there's something odd about entry 73... 79.66.120.163 (talk) 21:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's not at all unlikely that a major dog breeding web site had a blog post linking to the article for a couple days. -Pete (talk) 21:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Mmm... but this is consistent for a few weeks, running at something like four times the traffic to the daily featured article. I can't see any external link providing solid traffic like that over a long period of time. Shimgray | talk | 22:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that looks very fishy. Who knows, could be a DDOS attack or something too? henrik•talk 22:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
It´s true ...
that I am specifically allergic to editors who have built up a reputation by decreasing content and quality right from the beginning of their appearance. Is there any policy to counter editors, who continue to be unable to adapt, learn, deal, communicate? Do you have a policy to that? NO? Well, I have a long a record of creating and establishing 3 of the most read articles. All these articles became a model in their specific categories, city articles, country articles, the engl. EU-content and layout has been copied in other languages (the Swedish is probably the best example). So is there a policy to keep up this obvious quality? Are you personally willing to keep up this standard? Actually, I hate the role of a housekeeper, because I enjoy creating. Hope you have this in mind while issuing unilateral admonitions. all the best & God dag Henrik Lear 21 (talk) 12:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

More stats
I speak and read only English, so I can't follow the last commenter -- but I suspect we may have the same question. Are you aware of a problem with the stats tool? No matter what page I enter -- /Barack Obama, /John_McCain, /Nintendo, I get 0 pageviews for all possible date ranges. Is this just temporary, I hope? --WWB (talk) 13:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think I found my problem: I was entering the URLs, not the page titles. As they say on teh Internets, I was doing it wrong. Anyway, thanks for the stats tool. Hugely valuable. --WWB (talk) 14:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
This is a fantastic tool. Are There any proposals to extend it back further than 4 months? Fainites barley 15:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, the data wasn't saved earlier so it's gone forever. henrik•talk 21:19, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

A great tool
Thanks so much for this great tool about traffic statistics. This is a wonderfull way to really understand what readers want as well as the strong and weak points in our contributions. In mathematics, I have analysed traffic of 150 articles with more than 1 000 visits (in french) during frebruary 2008, in the 4 main langages (english, germain, french and polish) to understand what is going on in french mathematics. The answers appear obvious, we are not so good with low level articles aiming a huge public. The reason is : there is a lack of basic's technical explanations. We are paradoxally too high level and not technical enough for this kind of articles.
We are now testing the predictive part of the analysis. If we correct our weakness for some of the most obvious articles, can we really increase traffic ? We have made two attempts to check if the analysis is right. If that is the case, we can then increase trafic and even predict the level we should reach. Unfortunately, the tool does not seem to give any answer about the last three days. Do you know why and if new results will soon appear ?
If it is the case, that's wonderfull, if not thank you anyway for what you have done so far. It is really great help to understand how to increase satisfaction rate for readers. 86.217.4.179 (talk) 08:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC) (french contributor Jean-Luc W)
- Thank you. This is exactly the kind of usage I hoped the graphs could be used for - finding out where our weaknesses are and what can be done to improve our articles which get a lot of views but are in poor shape.
- The statistics should be updating now again, hopefully regularly. *crosses my fingers* henrik•talk 21:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Seems to have stopped working
Thanks for the tool. It seems to have stopped working after 3/10 though. It would be a shame for it to go by the way side. If that is it, then at least I got to see for a bit how many are hitting my article I put up last month and got over 2000 hits so far. Thanks again Chrisgj (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- It didn't update for a few days because of some backend problems. User:Midom has now fixed that, so it should be updating now. henrik•talk 21:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Missing days
Why are a few days of data missing from some months?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 15:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- The third and fourth of march had broken stats, and the last few few days were delayed for a while. There is a reason it's called beta after all. *grin* :-) henrik•talk 21:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Most popular nonexistent articles?
Henrik, great work on the stats utility. It's great to finally be able to do traffic analysis at the level of individual articles.
One thing that I think would be really helpful is a list of the top hitcounts for nonexistent pages. This would give editors a good list of articles or redirects that are the most needed.--ragesoss (talk) 14:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- That is a good idea. I'll add it to the todo list. henrik•talk 21:27, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Case sensitivity of stats tool
Hello again! In your FAQ you state that redirects get counted separately from the main article. On the other hand your stats tool appears to be case insensitive. What happens if a redirect differs from the main article only in case? (E.g. International Unit vs. International unit.) Is the total number of views of such an article obtainable? Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 18:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- In that case, both International Unit and International unit will be counted together on the statistics page. You'll see the total number of views, but you won't be able to see which came for the redirect and which came for the main article. henrik•talk 21:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Great
It's working again, thanks. Chrisgj (talk) 15:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yep :) I've been away over the weekend which also delayed the updates (and my replies here) henrik•talk 21:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Hourly statistics
Hi Henrik.
Were can I find a graph with the hourly statistics of Wikipedia? So a 24h column, with a daily curve? I need it for a project. -- Eiland (talk) 13:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello. You can find the raw data here, which has hourly statistics. henrik•talk 21:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I downloaded one file, got to open it with VI, but how to add all the numbers of en domain? Normaly I would use a spread sheet, but somehow i only et 65536 records in... -- Eiland (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
AIV
The reason I reported 63.3.18.130 is because it's an IP with an extensive vandalism history, it's off a recent block, it has had many blocks, and it's in the category of IPs used for vandalism, which means it should be able to be blocked more easily than a clean IP. I look at the contribs and there were a few constructive edits, but I still think the IP has done enough to merit a block, especially considering the above factors. Enigma msg! 22:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- In general I agree, but the contributions of the last couple of days were constructive (I initially thought the edits were subtle data change vandalism though) and we don't use preemptive blocks. If the IP starts vandalizing again, just report it to AIV again and it'll be blocked. henrik•talk 07:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- But then what's the point of it being in the vandalism category? Enigma msg! 07:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- In general, longer blocks - but it is a judgment call how long they'll be. My guess is that this IP is used by a kid who alternates between trying to help (sometimes misguided) and doing 'funny' stuff. I'll keep an eye on the IP for the next couple of days to see if he starts vandalizing again. henrik•talk 07:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Stats API
Hi Henrik,
is there an API for your pageview statistics tool?
--Tgr (talk) 15:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, not yet. Do you have a favorite you'd like implemented? henrik•talk 21:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Your stats would be a great addition to Igor. He's written in Java, but if you had some kindof "stats server" with a request response protocol, I could easily write a Java API to interface with it and throw that up on SourceForge for other to use. – ClockworkSoul 02:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I'd prefer JSON, I was thinking of a script showing the monthly hit count of a page, or maybe one after each link. It might be helpful when trying to organize portals. I'm sure there is a Java API for JSON too. --Tgr (talk) 20:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- JSON is a nice simple (and bandwidth light!) way to do web services. I would be more than happy with that. – ClockworkSoul 00:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

AFC script
Hey, just to note a bug in the AFC script that I just encountered. Somebody requested a redirect for a location that has a single quotation mark ' in its title. I press the "redir" link to accept and copy & paste the location into the popup box to create the redirect. The new page that I ended up getting unfortunately has the URL escape code in it, rather than the quotation mark which MediaWiki accept and handles. KTC (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

a hint for some minor problem with the stat tool
Thanks for the stat tool, it makes us (in some topics) less important. So there is no need to have stress. Page count is not that high on most niche articles. I have a hint and a question:
- http://stats.grok.se/de/200803/Hoher%20Freschen gives a single page impression for de:Hoher_Freschen on 21st, but the page was only created the 25th?
- Do you have an idea (an can add this to documentation), whether crawlers and spiders (and whatever searchengines use to index the pages), are counted by your tool, or not?
kind regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 23:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I am not Henrik, but the answer is yes! Bots, crawlers, reloads etc. are counted, too. Actually not page views but page hits are counted, as counting is done by the squid servers (>access log stream). Maybe Google gets filtered, but I do not think so, see also http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-December/035435.html --- Greetings, 87.173.218.245 (talk) 00:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about article traffic statistics
Hi! You wrote on the about page of the statistic-tool that it gets its data from "wikipedia's squid cluster". If I understand the hosting-system correctly, these are cache-servers, so two questions:
- Are page views from users who disabled the cache in their account-settings counted?
- Is the date coming from all squid servers or only the foundation ones (not the ones in the Netherlands)?

A minor question about the statistics pages
Hi there - I wanted to say thanks for coming up with that fantastic pageview stats link, it's really interesting to see what gets viewed and how often. I did notice, however, that when looking at that page listing the most frequently accessed pages Feb 1-23, I could see the column with number of hits when using IE but not Firefox. Is there something I can add onto Firefox to make it accessible using that browser? Risker (talk) 00:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Eh.. How about now, is it better? henrik•talk 21:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you. Yes, it is excellent; it looks slightly different than on IE7, but it works fine. Thanks for all you have done here, it is an extremely useful tool. Risker (talk) 19:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Stats + Catscan?
Hello Henrik, thank you very much for your great tool. Even more useful would be something that shows the most viewed articles in a specific category including subcategories. Could you use Catscan for that? --Victor Eremita (talk) 16:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice page for statistics.
Hi,
I am really glad you made the statistics page. I was searching for it for quite long time now and finally I found my way to the page you made. Awesome job !!! Now-a-days I am enriching the articles Vidarbha & Nagpur and was wondering if anyone really visited them. I was surprised to see the figures for them on your stats page. The articles have decent visitor count than I expected. Such a good tool really boosts our morale & inspires us to continue our work. gppande (talk) 07:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! It's nice to find out that there are actually readers out there, isn't it? :-) henrik•talk 08:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes,like it a lot. Don't remove it as written on tool page. I hope you are kidding :-)) gppande «talk» 16:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it's really cool. I have a question though... How accurate/reliable/full is the data? Does it include all views (registered/unregistered/admins/etc)? Thank you, Renata (talk) 05:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I can answer that question. Yes it counts all views and it is relatively accurate but can be deliberately sabotaged. See Newton for example, where it appears that a program was used to access the Newton page over 300,000 times in one day. Such anomalies are very rare. See for example Julie Dubela for January[8] and February.[9] She appeared on American Idol on January 30. American idol spikes once a week each day it is on, just as expected. Go to any page that gets one or zero views a day and hit the page a few times and come back the next day and you will see your hits showing up on the stats. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 04:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Statistics question
Hi there, I saw your statistics beta site and it is great. Is it possible to add this service to Wikipedia pages, like a new tab to know the number of visits per page right on the spot? Thanks,Miguel.mateo (talk) 03:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, add the following to your monobook.js:
function stats() {
addPortletLink('p-cactions', 'http://stats.grok.se/en/200803/'+wgPageName, "stats", "ca-stats", "See article stats");
}
addOnloadHook(stats);

Stats stuck
When I load up the statistics site it still is stuck on March and I have to switch it manually to April.Chrisgj (talk) 03:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- I believe it is still April, and it defaults to the previous month so that you get a full months data. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 04:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly. I thought it was more useful to default to the previous month so that you won't get data for just a few days. henrik•talk 09:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you from Japan, and one little wish
Hi Henrik. I am User:Was a bee, Japanese Wikipedian. Your tool is very intersting and convenient.
I have one little wish. Now address (for example http://stats.grok.se/ja/ ) is redirected to the 200712 datebase(oldest database). But this redirection is little bit inconvenient when people introduce your site on the web(for example, japanese wikipedia's tool page). So if possible, I think it would better that redirect changes to newest database(for exmaple, if this month, 200804) rather than oldest.
Thank you for your great tool! :) --Was a bee (talk) 08:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Aha! Good point, I'll try to fix that. As a workaround for now, if you go to http://stats.grok.se/ja/200803 instead, you'll be redirected to the March data. henrik•talk 08:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
WP:VG stats
Hi Henkrik, I used your stats page to kick up some statistics for WP:VG, see: Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Traffic statistics. Thanks for creating the tool! Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2008-04-3 15:17
- Cool use of the tool! Commons statistics do exist (replace en with commons in the URL), but I think they are misleading because the majority of accesses will be from the projects embedding commons content rather than from commons directly. henrik•talk 09:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Traffic stats tool
Hello, some question to your amazing traffic stats tool:
- How does it work? Do you watch in the log-files from the proxies or how? Is there a project page where I can read more?
- Can you do this also for Commons? I think this could be motivating the photographs.
- Do you want an account on Toolserver? (You can ask for an account on this page. The advantage for you would be that you not have to pay for the load and the traffic of your script. The advantage for us would be that we can be sure to have this tool forever. And if you work with a database like MySQL the datas could be shared with other tools and users. For instance I work on de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikipedia-World/en. To define the relevance of an object and so the visiblity in the map, I use the number of letters in the article which is stored in the database as psize. I the moment I have no other way. Perhaps it would be better to use your values, because it better describes what people want to see and not so what single people want to write. I is there a lot of possible applications, i.e. Wikipedia:Persondata and so on.
Again Thanks a lot for your work. --Kolossos (talk) 22:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- This is a very useful tool indeed. It's the kind of thing that should be in the standard toolbox on the left of the page. --Doric Loon (talk) 08:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Do you read my questions above? A dump with the sum of views for each article in one month would be perhaps enough for my experiments. Would this be possible? --Kolossos (talk) 16:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oops, I'm very sorry for not replying to your question. My WP time has been a bit limited due to work, and I accidentally skipped this section.
- Domas Mituzas put together a system to gather access statistics from wikipedia's squid cluster, and this site is a visualizer of that data. His data is here: [10] (hour by hour)
- There are some kind of stats for commons, but I'm not sure they're accurate. Most accesses of commons images will be through the projects pages, for example this one: [11] which was featured on the English main page in February.
- Eventually moving it to the toolserver sounds like a good idea. I have no problems with bandwidth or server capacity, but sharing the data and allowing others to use it would be very good. I would have to clean up, optimize and automate the process a bit first though.
- Ah! The wikipedia world project was very cool! I'd be happy to try to work with you if you can use this data somehow. In the mean time, a dump with sum of views for all articles on all projects is available here: [12] (about 1GB) henrik•talk 21:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot. I will take a look to the dump in the next days. --Kolossos (talk) 23:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
![[11]](http://stats.grok.se/en/200802/Image:WomanFactory1940s.jpg){kind=link}
I take a look into your february-dump, perhaps this is realy the best way to don't killing the toolserver and still get the interessting datas. The only problem that I have is that the page_titles in your dump are url coded and mysql has no urldecode function. Would it be possible to get the dump with utf8 encoding, so that we would have the same coding than in the mediawiki database? That's would be nice and would it make possible to write sql queries which combinates more than one databases. Or do you have an other idea to solve this problem? --Kolossos (talk) 10:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ping, again. At #Most popular nonexistent articles? we could help you for instances, if I could upload the dump to toolserver. Additionally, what do you think about a project-page? The advantage would be that you have to answer all questions only once. --Kolossos (talk) 16:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- A project page might be useful. There's been quite a bit more questions than I had expected. Funnily enough, I ran some statistics on the statistics tool (meta-statistics?) and almost 50 000 unique IPs have accessed it so far, almost half a million page views.
- The problem is that the data isn't uniformly URL-encoded. It is whatever random crap all the worlds browser decides. Ideally, I'd do some encoding unification before presenting the data, that is also on the todo list. I could convert the dump file though, I'll give you a ping when I've done that.
- I'm dragging my feet a little bit because I'm implementing a new database structure that I hope should be a lot more efficient for querying. Right now queries take about a second or so, which is a bit too slow to do some of the more exciting stuff with the data - like cross correlating it with other sources and list of articles. I'd like to fix that and get it a bit polished before moving to the tool server. Also, it's probably a bit too resource intensive still - I don't know what the hardware the tool server has (perhaps you know and could tell me?) henrik•talk 21:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aha! Seems someone has started a kind of project page already: Wikipedia:Web statistics tool. henrik•talk 22:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hit rate
Hi Henry,
Whats an acceptable hit rate on your stats search engine http://stats.grok.se/?
I'm not planning to download every page, but maybe a coupleof thousands.
Also - I dont need the graph page, just a simple count would do (in XML or RSS? mb). Heck I dont care, just an integer with no other data would be fine. Is there an option to reduce the output?
Great work for putting this up.
Winton —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.159.26 (talk) 21:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you just do a single threaded fetch (i.e., fetch the next page when the previous one has completed), that is fine. The tool is a bit slow, but should be easily handled by the server. However, you can get a full dump here which you can use for offline analysis. henrik•talk 08:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
AFC Helper
Just thought you might want to know that your AFC Helper script messed up here when trying to accept a submission. Cheers, paranomia (formerly tim.bounceback)a door? 23:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm.. I wonder what happened there. henrik•talk 09:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I was looking at the description for it and it apparently doesn't work with AFD Helper installed — that's probably the issue, but still, do you know why this is? Cheers, paranomia (formerly tim.bounceback)a door? 20:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- The reason is mostly laziness and incompetence on my part *grin*. It uses some very similar code in slightly different ways, and some functions collide. In fact, my script was based on AFD helper. I should really rewrite it to remove kludges like that, but unfortunately my WP time is quite limited at the moment, so I can't give you a time table :( henrik•talk 20:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Henrik - Wikinews
Henrik - I'm a diehard fans of yours. Do you think there is any possibility you could turn your stat tool on to statistics for the English Wikinews? We could use your help on that project to focus on what content gets read (and what does not). Dave --David Shankbone 15:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Dave! Unfortunately the raw data only includes the wikipedias, not the other foundation projects. If I just got the data, I'd be happy to visualize it. The right person to ask is probably Domas Mituzas (User:Midom here) henrik•talk 20:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot Henrik. I will ask Domas. Best to you... Dave --David Shankbone 20:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Stats tool
Hi Henrik, First of all thanks for the great tool you created. It's very useful and easy-to-use. I have two questions about it:
- Is it possible to organize the languages in the search field, e.g. in alphabetical order?
- Is it possible for me (or anyone) to create my own list or could it be made possible to search in a specific category (in addition to the country-top1000)?
This would be of great help to me (and I suspect many others), since I mostly participate in particular (dutch) projects (e.g. philosophy) for which I'd like to view or use the statistics now and then. Thanks for any reaction in advance. --Mcknol (talk) 07:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

After a quick google book search: "Parallel processing and parallel algorithms: theory and computation", Roosta, Seyed H. page 114. ISBN:0387987169 should do. henrik•talk 20:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Expiry of protection
Hi Henrik - I have a question about protecting pages: Is it possible to determine exactly when a page was protected and at what level? I am trying to determine for how long a page has been protected during its lifetime, using the log, but this seems difficult because many protects lack expiry information or information about which type of protection was applied. Do protections expire automatically and without generating a log event? How do you specify the expiry time of the protection? At the MediaWiki_Administrator's_Handbook/Page_Protection the screenshot and explanation do not cover this. Thank you! Mloubser (talk) 15:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Look at the log for a specific page (at this url: title here|page title here, there you'll see when it was last protected and when protection expires. If it doesn't say anything about expiration, it means it is indefinite. There is no log message upon expiration. henrik•talk 20:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response! Do you know when expiry was introduced? It looks like there are no expiries until sometime in 2007. Does that mean that all protects before that were indefinite? Also, if there is no information about the level and type (eg. "[edit=autoconfirmed:move=autoconfirmed]") what is the default? All of this is necessary to see what the status of the page is day by day. Would be interesting to see this for something like George W. Bush etc.. Thanks again.

Hi. Thanks for participating in this conflict. Although the matter of blocking Angry Christian seems resolved at this point, I have nonetheless posted my side of the things in the section on that page devoted to it, in case you wanted to know it. I have also responded to the accusation that User:Orangemarlin left on my Talk Page, with a message in the "Obvious Bias" section of the Expelled Talk Page. Since he reverted my edits as "POV", despite two other participants in that section agreeing that my edits actually reduced POV, your thoughts on that matter would be appreciated.

Scripting help
Hey, Henrik. I'm trying to modify your AfC script to work as a status updated, since there's currently two operating StatusBots and it's easier to just do things myself since they keep getting in each other's ways. Anyway, User:Hersfold/status-updater.js *should* make three edit links next to the top header of User:Hersfold/Status (the page title) - [online][on IRC][offline]. Each one will (theoretically) modify the content of that page to "online", "irc", and "offline", respectively. Testing the edit link out manually, I think I've got that half correctly modified - the part I'm having trouble with is getting the edit links to appear as you have them at AfC, because these should (ideally) appear at the top of the page instead of a level 2 header. Can you figure out what I did wrong? Thanks for your help. Hersfold (t/a/c) 00:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind - since I got the editing part to work, I just used those links to make a sort of manual script with User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate. Thanks for your help anyway - without the edit link in your AfC script, I'd still be lost. Hersfold (t/a/c) 05:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to keep bugging you, but is there any way to use that same URL syntax (the &amsummary= stuff) to mark the edit as minor? I've tried a few different variations and aren't getting it, but I'm sure there has to be something. Hersfold (t/a/c) 06:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem :-)
No, there's no support right now, but it would be relatively easy to add. Are you using the same automod.js in my userspace as for my AFC helper, or have you copied it into your own userspace?
You'd have to replace:
document.getElementById("wpMinoredit").checked = false;
with something like:
if (qvars['amminor']) {
document.getElementById("wpMinoredit").checked = true;
} else {
document.getElementById("wpMinoredit").checked = false;
}

Vasa spelling
Henrik
Thank you for telling about why you changed my spelling edits in the Vasa article. I would not have bothered but I was bothered by the inconsistency. The first time the word is used in the Conservation part of the site, it is spelt 'Sulphuric Acid' not 'Sulfuric Acid'. But it is a great article and I love the Vasa: I have been to the museum three times (I am English) and have enjoyed it more each time.

Opps
Hello Henrik; thanks for your reminder, all fixed now. Your hit tool is brilliant, bty. Best. Ceoil (talk) 15:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Case sensitivity in stats tool
There seems to be some problems with case sensitivity in your stats tool. For instance, compare:
- http://stats.grok.se/en/200802/Georgia_%28country%29
- http://stats.grok.se/en/200802/Georgia_%28Country%29
It's highly unlikely that the second page (which is a redirect to the first) has exactly the same number of visits. This makes it difficult to get accurate stats for incoming redirects to a page, since many such redirects involve variations in case. Since Wikipedia redirects aren't "real" redirects and thus don't show up as two requests in the logs, this case (in)sensitivity issue makes it impossible to accurately count how many visits come into a particular page via the redirects to that page. If I'm misunderstanding this point, please let me know. Otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated if you could make some changes to your tool (whenever you get a chance -- I understand this is volunteer work) so that it accurately preserves case. Thanks! --Sapphic (talk) 17:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:Stats tool API
Beautiful! I look forward to testing it extensively! Thanks! – ClockworkSoul 20:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, but it would need a callback parameter to be of any use in Wikipedia scripts, because AJAX calls have a same-origin policiy, and calling it with a script tag would has no effect right now. JSON services usually check for a "variable=somevar" or "callback=somefunc" parameter in the URL, and return somevar={...} or somefunc({...}) if they find it.
Also, it would be very nice if there would be a way to get statistics for lots of pages fast; maybe sending a list of page names and getting for each one the number of hits in the last full month or the last 30 days. I would like to write a script that would append a hit number to each internal link on a page so that one can easily see which are the most important links in a portal or a wikiproject; checking them one by one would be rather slow. --Tgr (talk) 21:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Dr Kitty (talk) 00:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Sorry about the double post, I forgot to log in. The deleted "Havet Research" page would be a great help. I would prefer an e-mail.

Stats.grok.se
What happen to the stats tool? Chrisgj (talk) 13:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- +1 Since the 23rd, no more stats on http://stats.grok.se :-( Please help. — STAR TREK Man [Space, the final frontier...] 11:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- There was a problem with the update of the raw data. It's now fixed, and the stats for the last couple of days should be there in a few hours. henrik•talk 14:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Poor Henrik - we have all become so dependent upon you :-) --David Shankbone 16:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

No consensus for 1RR
You left this comment on Mccready's talk page:
- "After the discussion here, it seems that the consensus is that imposing a 1RR would be best, rather than a topic ban or other remedy...."
He replied:
- "I don't agree that such a consensus emerged...."
I agree with Mccready. There was no such consensus, on the contrary! A 1RR changes nothing at all and will not change his behavior. He can keep doing exactly what he's been doing and abide by a 1RR parole. -- Fyslee / talk 02:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest you take another look at how Mccready pretty much condescendingly mocks your attempt to explain things to him. I have parsed the situation for him. -- Fyslee / talk 02:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it seems that this has been overtaken by events. henrik•talk 16:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Stats tool coming back
to life. the 24 and 25th dates are up now. I can't live without this tool. Thanks. Chrisgj (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm adding the stats for the 26th and 27th right now, so it should be back to normal tomorrow. Hehe, I'm glad it is useful. henrik•talk 19:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- BTW, if you like getting readers you should write an FA and get it scheduled on the main page: One I've edited got over 100k hits on the day it was on the main page, about what it would otherwise get in the better part of a year. henrik•talk 19:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Henrik for having taken care of the stats tool. We appreciate all, even the numerous lurkers hiding in the dark. ;-) — STAR TREK Man [Space, the final frontier...] 21:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
a practical 'challenge'
...regarding your experiences in that matter: what do you think about a top fifty thousand? this is what de_wiki plans to take as the amount of articles in a future print version...
my question: if they do so, what would in your opinion (approximately) be the lowest range for an article to get into that book? if i take your tool, no.1000(de:John Lennon) is at 31.800 clicks in april... do you believe that articles beyond 1.000 monthly clicks have any chance to reach something above chartnumber 50.000? greetings from Germany, --ulli purwin (talk) 16:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting question. For February, the 50 000th most viewed article on de got about 2000 page views (2124 views, if you want to be exact). henrik•talk 17:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- ...thanx a lot, Henrik! i will post that information on de... --ulli purwin (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
The tool...
...is excellent! :) Jhony 05:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! henrik•talk 15:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Stats: potential bug?
Henrik, I can not find any stats for neither Marshall Plan nor Belgian Revolution. There gotta be hits, since I have visited those articles recently to fix other people's edits. A bug maybe in the stats page? Thanks. Miguel.mateo (talk) 10:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hm, I can't reproduce that. Both http://stats.grok.se/en/200804/Belgian_Revolution and http://stats.grok.se/en/200804/Marshall_Plan show plenty of hits for me. henrik•talk 15:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
