• Even though many preferred this version they acknowledged that it might be a bit overwhelming for less experienced users who might benefit from the simplified view

Most editors agreed that the newly created reference should be on top of the re-use option. Quoting one user: “the duplicate ref is more preferable to a non-duplicate incorrectly reused ref”.

I think we could go with this version then, and gather feedback. We could also A/B test to evaluate if it is indeed overwhelming for the less experienced editors?

@Spykelionel So first, we have to work on these two tasks: T389647 - Creating a JavaScript script and T389654 - Creating a Python script.
Also, regarding the proposal for the broken link on the Portuguese website—is that a subtask or a separate task? Can someone clarify this for me?

Hello, everyone!
Sorry for the huge delay!

Hi, this is still an issue, the tool as of today is not reachable :/

Any configuration changes needs to be tested against Toolforge first. This stack change is not in our development plan for the near future, but feel free to fork and do pull requests to the project (This will not be evaluated for Outreachy)

Thank you for your answer @dcaro . Unfortunatelly, I was unable to make it work: I get that the image does not exists, even though I can see it something existing here.

Hello everyone, thanks to @Abishek_Das for the tips on installing ffmpeg. It's a timesaver I must say.

If you're looking to embed the output into the notebook, add these few lines of code after you've generated your output animation:

from IPython.display import Video
Video("file_name.mp4", embed=True)

Hello @Ederporto, for the project proposal, do we need to create one in Wikimedia Phabricator since we will also be submitting one on the Outreachy website?

Hello everyone, I am also an Outreachy applicant for 2024.

Today, I discovered the message on Phabricator; however, I initially assumed that all discussions were taking place in the Zulip channel. Consequently, I didn't check the Phabricator comments section.

To keep it concise, I'd like to address how to make FFmpeg work on the PAWS Jupyter Notebook for the task "Create a tool for informative infographics from structured information from Wikimedia projects - Task A."

The reason FFmpeg isn't functioning on the PAWS Jupyter Notebook is that we need to download and add FFmpeg Static Builds from (https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/) to the same folder where we have the code.

Here's a step-by-step guide (So, you don't have to go through the trouble of downloading from https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/):

Note: Before you do the step mentioned in point (a), make sure all the steps, i.e., b, c, d, and e, are done first.

a) I've attached code that you can add to your Jupyter Notebook cell (Same notebook where you have your code to generate the bar chart race). Run this code to resolve the FFmpeg issue.

# Download a static FFmpeg build and add it to PATH.
%run 'util/load-ffmpeg.ipynb'
print('Done!')

b) Prior to running the code mentioned in point (a), add/upload the "util" folder to your PAWS. I've included the folder below.

util.zip864 BDownload

(You, have to unzip it after downloading)

c) The purpose of the "util" folder is to automatically add the FFmpeg Static Build File (which is a folder) to your PAWS when you run the provided code mentioned in point (a).

d) Ensure that the filename in bcr.bar_chart_race() has a ".mp4" extension.

e) After completing these steps, you can run your respective code, which is the code for generating the bar chart race.

Note:

a) You might encounter a warning / Error (Which again doesn't appear when I run my code locally and only sometimes appears on my PAWS Jupyter Notebook), as shown in the attached screenshot. However, this is not an issue, as the video file will be generated in the PAWS folder after running your code. You can then download the bar chart race video and watch the video(as shown the screenshot below).

b) If your code works correctly locally, it should generally (90%-99% of the time) work on the PAWS online Jupyter Notebook.

c) The warning or error screenshot I provided may or may not appear (Which happens to me only on PAWS), so be mindful of that.

d) Ensure that the filename in bcr.bar_chart_race() has a ".mp4" extension, as the ".html" filename won't appear on PAWS. But, Again, the .html works locally.

e) Why the .html doesn't appear on PAWS, I have no idea about it, and I have still not looked for a solution related to .html since the .mp4 file is generated on PAWS without any issue.

f) All the things I have mentioned on how to solve the issue related to FFmpeg were taken from various documentation like Matplotlib 3.8.3 documentation and, of course, my favorite stack overflow (So, thanks to the Devs on Stack Overflow).

Hello, @Ederporto

I have a question about visualisation step. On the notebook task we have to do our graphics with the previous result dataframe (top_view_dataframe). According to bar_chart_race documentation, the dataframe to use should have a date on row and different categories of articles on columns but top_view_dataframe is the opposite. My question is can we use different approach instead of top_view_dataframe, for exemple prepare our dataset with the build in method in bar_chart_race release for that goal?

Thank you

Yes, same issue. I find it hard to visualize it with the current state of our data frame. In the documentation, it's specified that every row must represent a single period, which is the exact opposite in ours.

@Ederporto would drop more insights.

I think to address the requirement of using the bar_chart_race library, we can reshape the DataFrame so that dates are on the rows and articles are on the columns. This way, it aligns with the expected format for the library.

I am having issues implementing this function

most_viewed_ptwiki_jan_feb_per_day():

as in the task description.

If I understood properly we are asked to get daily data for each article within January and February in the Portuguese Wikipedia. And then append in a DataFrame

My limitations:

• No endpoint to fetch the most viewed articles daily or monthly in a project for a date range. The closest is this endpoint

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/aggregate/{project}/all-access/all-agents/daily/{start}/{end}

but only returns views for a project cumulatively and not individual articles.

• Another endpoint I tried is this:

https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/top/{project}/all-access/year/month/day

This returns pageviews for articles on a project for a particular day or month(not date range).
So to use this to solve the task, I will have to make almost 60 requests each time trying to get articles for each day up to two months which is not efficient enough.

So any help will be appreciated, my fellow interns you can help if you find a way to go about it or if you feel I misunderstood the task description.

@Ederporto, can you please clarify this? I have a sense that I also misunderstood the task.

Hi @Ederporto,

I'm facing some trouble gathering data from the Wikimedia API. Every time I make a request in the Jupyter notebook, I'm getting a response status code of 403, indicating forbidden access. Is there a workaround for this? It's worth noting that I can gather data normally from the Wikimedia API website and even when running the link outside of the notebook.

Could you please take a look at the error and see if there's a solution? Thank you

I am having the same issue with this endpoint: https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/top/{project}/{access}/{year}/{month}/{day}
it returns 403. But after getting the text property of the response these were the indicatives.

@Anachimuco I read on the page view API page that

headers = {
      "User-Agent": user_agent
    }

is required, check if you added this and replace it with an actual user agent.
I was able to get the data after adding it to my code.
I assume you are using Python

Thank you @DevJames1, I was able to gather data.

Hi @Ederporto, I hope you're doing well!

I was going through the project tasks and had a question I wanted to clarify:

When it mentions "the most viewed articles in the Portuguese Wikipedia," is it specifically referring to Brazil, a Portuguese-speaking country, or does it encompass all Portuguese-speaking countries? Just a bit confused about the wording there.

Hello @Anachimuco
I think the Portuguese Wikipedia encompasses all Portuguese speaking countries just like the English Wikipedia is used in many English speaking countries.

Hello, @Maryann-Onyinye, I'm putting here my suggestion of a project I'll be involved this year: Wiki Infographics. The idea is to leverage structured information within Wikimedia projects to create informative and visually engaging infographics in both fixed and dynamic formats, under an open license. An example of such infographics (although non-wiki) is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wykaDgXoajc.

Hello, here is my task 1.
https://github.com/spykelionel/wiki-lusophone.git

Feedback: @Spykelionel Although your output works, I'm afraid that the way you catch the date is a bit complicated. If I want the date in Spanish, for example, I'd have to put the months in spanish in it. I recommend to look at toLocaleDateString method.

Updates: Hi, @Ederporto! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to thank you for providing feedback on my previous task. I truly appreciate your guidance and suggestions.

Based on your feedback, I have made the necessary modifications to the code. Instead of relying on a complicated method to catch the date, I have implemented the toLocaleDateString method. This allows for easy localization of the date format, enabling users to obtain the date in their preferred language, such as Spanish.

I would be grateful if you could review my task again and provide further guidance or suggestions if needed. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable in helping me improve my skills, and I am eager to learn from your feedback.
