Create a list of dewiki articles with similar references
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When deploying sub-referencing to dewiki, we want to run a campaign to raise awareness of the new feature and invite users to test it. We want to provide articles with lot's of potential sub-references as well as articles with just a few similar references which can be quickly converted to sub-references.

We need the list of articles beginning of September. The output could be similar to the similar refs samples in T367177.

Requirements

Metadata:
  • Page title: title
  • Links to each article (generated from title)
  • Number of similar references per page: similar_ref_count
  • Total number of references: identical_ref_count
  • Number of re-used references per page: ref_reuse_counts
Formatted output:
  • Ideally the output per page would be ready to use in an onwiki list of articles in the following format: * [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_title?banner=subreferenzierung_info Page title] ([https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_title?veaction=edit&banner=subreferenzierung_info VisualEditor] | [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_title?action=submit&banner=subreferenzierung_info Quelltext])
Output lists:

Random lists where at least 1/2 of the (= total - reuse) references are similar:

We added this mid-sprint after realizing that the data is needed by early September, and preparatory work will need to happen ahead of time.

I was wrong about the Enterprise dumps still being available from the analytics clients. It seems that the newest dump available using the old method is 2025-03-20. Asking for more information on WMF Slack now...
