Ensure documentation of essential analytics and editor tools
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Main components:

  • Wikidata Analytics

User story:
As a new Data Analyst for Wikidata,
I want to get a good understanding of the most important analytics products and tools
in order to have a chance to maintain them.

Problem:
The whole Wikidata Analytics codebase is overwhelming. But a new Wikidata Analyst will have to be able to work at least on our most important and most frequently used tools and dashboards. We need to ensure that the Wikidata team can run these tools sustainably even in a transition phase.

Solution:
This is why it is particularly important to bring the related code in shape and document it well. All related processes need to be documented as well.

Most important tools:
These are the most important sources and dashboards for us and our editors:

Wikidata Quality Dashboard (for editors)

100k most popular Items data set (for editors)

Wikidata Current Events (for editors)

Wikidata Usage and Coverage (for reporting)

Wikidata Concepts Monitor - Statements Dashboard

Wikidata Languages Landscape (essential analytics)

Wikidata Concepts Monitor - Usage Dashboard

Wikidata Pageviews per Namespace

Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard

Acceptance criteria:
These goals:

  • Ensure good documentation of code
  • Ensure good documentation of processes to maintain the tool (e.g. deployment)
  • Ensure high stability (the tools should ideally run without maintenance in the next years)

For these tools:

  • Wikidata Quality Report
  • 100k most popular Items data set
  • Wikidata Current Events
  • Wikidata Usage and Coverage
  • Wikidata Concepts Monitor, Statements Dashboard, Property>Reuse sub page
  • Wikidata Languages Landscape, Datamodel and Label Sharing pages
  • Wikidata Concepts Monitor, Usage Dashboard, Project Summary page
  • Wikidata Pageviews per Namespace
  • Wiktionary Cognate Dashboard
