Wikidata Analytics Request

This task was generated using the Wikidata Analytics request form. Please use the task templates linked on our project page to create tasks for the team. Thank you!

Purpose

Please provide as much context as possible as well as what the produced insights or services will be used for.

We'd like to understand who is reading the primary data access documentation page, and see if there any differences between this and who is actually using the data access methods (compare to T417737).

Why (Context & Decision)

What problem are you trying to solve, and what decision will this analysis inform? Briefly explain the organisational or strategic context, why this matters now, and what action will be taken based on the outcome.

This work will feed into the KR we have for improving documentation "We have created one assumptions map of reuser groups and journeys that guides improvements to access methods and documentation, resulting in more reliable resources."
By getting the data that is requested in this ticket (along with related data that has been requested elsewhere) we'll be able to get a picture and context of the current users of the documentation (and a baseline) so that we can focus on solution creation taking into account the current status quo.
