Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Go to https://en.wikipedia.org and log in;
- You should be at the Main Page;
- Click on your name in the top middle-ish or your "homepage"
- It should bring you to your Special:Homepage, mine is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Homepage&source=personaltoolslink&namespace=0
- Look on the right side for the "Your Impact" box
What happens?:
Every time I log in, the numbers are impossibly changing, for example, the views are decreasing even though the views should be cumulative for the first 60 days. Other times, my contributions, like to Tortoiseshell cat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoiseshell_cat seemingly have completely disappeared. The views don't even display as 0, it's simply gone, even though it was my top article at 5,000+ views with no other article having overtaken that spot, so I'm not sure why it disappeared.
What should have happened instead?:
Per comment in T313176#8418521 – Each article's page view count is from after the person's last edit to that particular article, *not* for last edit edit in general (which is the current logic).
The views actually accumulate, and my top articles don't suddenly disappear off the list.
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
I'm using a Chromebook and it says that I'm on Version 102.0.5005.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
- I have NOT been editing for 60 days, so articles shouldn't be disappearing because the views are set to "Views since you edited (last 60 days)" In fact, I made my Wikipedia account on 11 July 2022, so it hasn't even been a month yet.
- Please view the below screenshots for proof of the number of views being weird. The names of the files should say the exact time and day that I took the screenshot so that you can confirm for yourself that the numbers are decreasing.
- Finally, I am in Japan, so that may affect some of the times or something (I'm not really sure if this is helpful, because I'm not a developer or anything, but you never know)
