There are sources for statistics available about various Wikimedia projects. Please link to any you know of from this page. These statistics are limited to quantitative data; qualitative (non-numerical) data are excluded.
Groups within the Wikimedia movement collect many different statistical indicators for the purpose of evaluating the movement's work. These indicators live in many different dashboards and are cultivated by many different people. For information about raw data generated by Wikimedia projects, see Research:Data.
Contents
General-purpose dashboards[edit]
- Wikistats (language-specific tables and charts, with comparisons and summaries, in many languages)
- For documentation, see mw:Analytics/Wikistats.
- Wikistats 2 is actively being developed as a replacement
- Wikimedia Report Card monthly statistics
- Vital Signs dashboard based on "dashiki" (see early documentation)
- Browser statistics
- Multilingual projects
- Additionally, WMF and others maintain a number of other ad hoc scattered statistics using Limn or other similar software, you have to hunt them around (try e.g. google:limn+site:wmflabs.org).
- Raw data powering those graphs is usually updated daily and visible at https://datasets.wikimedia.org/ ([1])
- Some links by topic: Research:Data/Dashboards
- https://analytics.wikimedia.org/
- Multimedia health metrics, now decomissioned, were tracked at http://multimedia-metrics.wmflabs.org/datasources, then at https://edit-analysis.wmflabs.org/multimedia-health. For now, the raw data is available but the dashboards are no longer used.
- http://language-reportcard.wmflabs.org/
- GLAM statistics [2] (NARA pilot)
- Gender by language from WHGI (Wikidata human gender indicators)
- One-time topical reports on users in general

- Editor engagement dashboard https://edit-analysis.wmflabs.org/editor-engagement/ (
- Most importantly: VisualEditor dashboards
- Some were apparently discontinued in February 2014 (e.g. Echo)
- Other VisualEditor-related stuff on grafana and elsewhere: [3] [4]
- Edit rate
- Flow use
- Gadget use
- Use by project family (Wikipedias, Wiktionaries, etc.)
- Use as project-wide defaults
Search and discovery[edit]
- https://searchdata.wmflabs.org/: Metrics used by the WMF's Discovery department as performance indicators
Traffic reporting[edit]
As of early 2016, the Pageviews Analysis tool is the most basic tool available for giving pageview reports on single Wikipedia articles to typical Wikimedia community members. If given the title of a Wikipedia article and a date range, this tool reports how many pageviews that article got in that range.

- Alexa traffic ranking, from the audience of multilingual users of Alexa's toolbar. (Note: not chosen to be 'representative' in any way; just from toolbar users.)
- Compete.com page on wikipedia.org, with estimate of monthly Unique Visitors in the U.S.
- Combined Alexa reach
