X-axis is at odds with stated period in header of trend charts for 'total articles' for a wiki
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Reported by Pavel Dvořák

I found a problem in your generated graph for Czech Wikipedia on https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN_Europe/ReportCardEurope.htm#lang_cs. In max total articles graph you claim data are until May 2017, but the graph plot ends in the middle of 2016, not 2017. Isn't this a bug? Could you fix the graph/generate new graph if I am right and it really is broken? Or is it correct?

That looks odd, indeed, also for other languages.

After June update still the same problem. The plot looks OK, just the axis doesn't seem good

@Erik_Zachte:

Broken:

  • Czech
  • Hindi
  • Simple English
  • Vietnamese
  • Indonesian
  • Swedish
  • Spanish
  • Russian

Problematic:

  • Albanian
  • Malay
  • Norwegian
  • Korean
  • Chinese

Some change since 2015 must break the plot generation as the plot from 2015 seems to be correct: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graf_poctu_clanku.png

Per web.archive.org it seems it started to be broken between January 2016 and November 2017

I suggest marking this a WONTFIX, because it has not even been triaged after almost two years and it has been reported that @Erik_Zachte has retired from the WMF and his stats tools have been largely supeseded by a new version.

@Dvorapa: We will need to stick to those new tools in further updates of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graf_poctu_clanku.png

Sorry, I closed this as a mistake. But I am in favor of this being closed as Declined by someone authoritative enough to tell that nobody is going to take the time to repair those old scripts anymore. Reopening for the meantime.

removing myself, I'm no longer involved

Well, I think all old-wikistats related tasks should be closed as declined in favor of Wikistats 2.

VulpesVulpes825 moved this task from Backlog to Closed on the Chinese-Sites board.
VulpesVulpes825 subscribed.

As the final Wikistats-1 dump-based reports have been released, Wikistats 1 is no longer maintained, thus declining this ticket.
