Bug when accessing multiple pages in dates one of them didn't exist[edit]

I hit a bug while accidentally attempting to use the tool for articles that were not created yet in the period defined in the "Dates" field. In particular, I tried to access the stats for article Rui Rocha throughout 2021, while the page was only created in 2022.

If I enter a single page, I get an error saying "Rui Rocha: Error querying Pageviews API - Not Found". This is not really user-friendly (an error like "Page Rui Rocha did not exist in the specified period" would be better), but it's at least minimally informative and not too scary.

But if I enter multiple pages including the one that did not exist in the specified period, I get the message "Fatal error: TypeError: i is undefined" along with a red pop-up saying "Fatal error: Please refresh the page to try again or report this issue".

IMO both issues should be handled more gracefully, but the second one in particular appears to be missing a guard in the code. --Waldyrious (talk) 19:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I will get this fixed. Thanks for reporting and providing detailed steps to reproduce the issue! :) MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 16:20, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question about Mediaviews Analysis[edit]

I didn't see this explained on the page, so I wanted to ask here since I'm curious.

  • What is "referers" referring to? And how can one access an audio file "internally" or "externally" - is it just somehow found on Google? What is "none" mean, in this case?
  • And probably an obvious one, but I'm assuming "requests" = playcounts? If so, is there a way we can see the average length these playcounts?

Thanks in advance, —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 02:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I see what search engines my PNG file is being referenced from?[edit]

In Mediaview Analysis, how do I see what search engines my PNG file is being referenced from? NudistPhotographer (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't believe this information is publicly available (at least not by the Wikimedia APIs). Sorry. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 05:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

[bug report] Page views for some pages are obviously incorrect[edit]

For example, the number of edits of this page(俄罗斯入侵乌克兰) are more than 500 times in the last year, but displayed only 1 Edits on Pageviews Analysis.

oh, I've known why is it. when I search "俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭" for traditional Chinese, the numbers are all right. it's separately counted. Suteru (talk) 06:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
