www.wikipedia.org statistics needs to be updated
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Please update the statistics on www.wikipedia.org regularly like it was done before. I see no update to the stats ever since it was moved to Gerrit.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikipedia.org_template/auto may be of some help. This page has the up-to-date statistics though it probably is currently not in sync with the actual code.

Ideally, a script should be written for this purpose so that it can be done in a fast and reliable manner. Possible suggestions:

  • Someone can run a script locally and commit to Gerrit and deploy periodically
  • A task similar to l10n-update that will commit to Gerrit and deploy it. (Or maybe it shouldn't do everything by itself and should be only allowed after review by a person?)

Heya!

We're going to work on this ticket and update the links. Just to be transparent our next project is an A/B test to use language settings to sort and order the links - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121567 . If it goes well the article-sorted counts may be deprecated (following the testing and discussion of the results)

I initially requested the stats to be updated regularly but this task seems to be have been changed to a one-time update task and then closed after that. Considering that the script was written months ago, I expect it to be run regularly as well as this is a huge regression from the Gerrit switchover.

Hence opening this again until there is a confirmation that it will be updated regularly at least until the work being done at T121567 is implemented.

debt added a comment.Feb 19 2016, 10:31 PM

Hi @JGirault - let's go ahead and update the stats again during the week of Feb 22, 2016, thanks!

This should become a regular maintenance task. I'd suggest a regular occurrence on someone's calendar, if it is ensured that the task gets reassigned after that person leaves. Ideally this would be done automatically...

Ironholds added a comment.Feb 19 2016, 11:14 PM

We are hoping to be able to switch away from pageview-based ordering, which is why it hasn't been.

Lsanabria subscribed.Feb 20 2016, 1:11 AM

The stats in the other portals have not been updated since the move either. They must be updated as well.

Ironholds added a comment.Feb 20 2016, 1:57 AM

I didn't think we'd moved them? I might be wrong (I'm probably wrong)

Lsanabria added a comment.Feb 20 2016, 2:10 AM

Well, that is not what Chris Koerner said in the portal improvements page in meta and they seem to be in gerrit. Is there any way to find out for sure?

Ironholds added a comment.Feb 20 2016, 2:12 AM

Hey, I said I was probably wrong! :D. I'll wait until the Engineers wake up; presumably they know.

Hi! Will this also fix the other portals? Or are they still pointing to Meta?

See meta:Top Ten Wikipedias. Summary: "In 2008, it was decided that the Top Ten Wikipedias are defined by usage rather than article count." (Broad RfC, 221 supporters for this result.) Is there consensus for overturning this established consensus?

Hi @Yair_rand - we haven't changed the earlier decision, on how the top 10 wiki's are defined. However, we might have a different visual treatment for them in the future.
