NPP backlog chart question

The NPP backlog chart currently shows the backlog. I think it would be quite useful to also know the number of articles added and removed. Right now, the chart doesn't tell you anything about why the backlog is increasing or decreasing. I'm guessing that the number of new articles is fairly constant and the number of reviews performed is mostly what causes the backlog to grow and recede. Since you are involved in providing the data for the existing chart, I thought I would start by asking you about the feasibility of this enhancement. Thanks. MB 21:55, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, still looking for some indication how to get this implemented. MB 21:45, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MB, thanks for the ping on this and your patience while I completely overlooked this! I want to make sure I understand the ask correctly. What you’d like is to have three data point for each update: the number of articles in the queue (this is what we currently have), as well as the number of articles added and removed since the last update (and by “articles” we mean non-redirect pages in the Main namespace, just like we currently have)?

I think the easiest way to do this would be to make a copy of the backlog on every update so we can compare with the previous update. Then we can add the two data points, number of articles added and removed, and rotate the backlog copy so we only keep the latest one. There might be other ways to do this (e.g. by reading the log tables), but I think those might be more complicated.

One challenge with charting this, and something @MusikAnimal might need to consider, is that if for some reason the update doesn’t run and we skip one or more, then the number of articles added/removed will be “artificially increased” when the next update runs because the time difference is larger. We might therefore want to chart “average number of articles added/removed per hour” (or some other timeframe that works for the chart) instead of the raw counts, because that’ll be time-agnostic.

I should have some time to work on this before the new year comes around, but it’ll have to be later this week. Let me know if I’ve understood your ask correctly or not, and any other questions you might have! Cheers, Nettrom (talk) 09:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this chart represents only articles, so just non-redirect pages in mainspace. (I believe @MPGuy2824 has asked for a similar chart to be produced just for redirects also somewhere, so it would be nice to have this feature extended to the redirect chart if/when that is available).

I'm not sure I follow your proposal. This chart shows the backlog. If you save the previous update and make a comparison, you have the net change in the backlog from one update to the next. But that doesn't tell you the two additional data points (articles added and removed). If you mean you will do the comparison get the net change so you can then calculate the number of articles added by utilizing the number of articles removed/reviewed (as shown here), then that sounds like it would work.

Regardless of the implementation, I think you do understand the request. MB 14:38, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please collect the same datapoints for redirects as well. If you want to backfill some data, then i have backlog and reviewed data, for both redirects and articles in the s55221__nppstats_p database on toolforge (npp_stats table), starting from 20th November. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:01, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot not populating Translation category

Hi!

The Translate and cleanup category on the community portal isn't being populated by your bot. I also noticed the Rough translation template failed to add rough translations to the main tracking category, which I've fixed. The bot's source code seems to be relying on the wrong category (that one can't contain any articles); may I suggest it be changed to this one? DFlhb (talk) 07:22, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DFlhb, thanks for reporting this, and for your patience while I worked on finding time to fix it! Your suggestion is spot on, and I’ve updated the bot’s code (which is now here) as well as the linked category from the open tasks page (in this diff). Cheers, Nettrom (talk) 18:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work; many thanks. DFlhb (talk) 19:02, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
