Synopsis
Using this model to predict the quality of Wikipedia articles, the WMF's Research team built a dataset with feature values and predicted quality scores for all revisions of all articles in more than 300 language editions of Wikipedia. Thus, this dataset provides key information on the expansion and quality of Wikipedia articles over time. In this project we will build on this novel data asset to develop a visualization tool that will allow anyone to explore the evolution of quality in articles maintained by WikiProjects.
Specifically, the work will the following phases:
- Becoming familiar with the dataset, i.e. how to pre-process the data, what is the data structure, what other features could be added (e.g. pageviews), etc.
- Selection of specific Wikiprojects of interest
- Analysis and visualization of language-agnostic features of revisions of articles from Wikiprojects (over time)
- Build an interactive web interface for users to explore the data visualizations
