Dear @Anthere, thanks for contributing to CIM! The category you requested is now available on the 486 line. Let me know if you need anything else!

Hello. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out exactly how those things work :)

Dear @Anthere, I'm actually glad you made this comment! It is an opportunity for me to share a few things.

I'm not sure if you are aware but Commons Impact Metrics can be accessed via this page. It offers metrics for categories, media files, or users. You should add the category as "Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2024", with the underscores. The rest of the information requested is pretty straightforward (date, category-scope, wiki, etc). In your case, the date is from February 2024 onwards.

If you need it, there's this Diff post and this recording (minute 39:00) from a DPLA Webinar, in July 2024, in which I present CIM. Unfortunately, my latest and most up-to-date presentation, during the GLAM Global call, was not recorded. However, here are the slides.

There's also this tool by @Dominicbm that shows metrics more visually. However, I'm not sure your category is there already. Dominic has also created a way to share views from CIM metrics on a Commons category. See the example from the category Images from the Swedish National Heritage Board. Check "Page views for this category" on top.

We will be working on a CIM-related training at some point, but I hope this hopes for now. Let me know if you have questions.

I finally tested today. Works pretty well. I have not tested all options... but several of those of interest to me and that was ok !
Will explain the team how to use that. Need to figure out which output we want to do graphs for, and then how to best do that.

On another note... @Dominicbm , I saw that WLA categories are in your tool till 2023. Would it be possible for you to add WLA 2024 for us ? Thanks !

Sure. I hadn't really been updating that because it was just a prototype and I was using a static list of categories from 6 months ago. Should work now.
