Request for Userviews Feature[edit]

Is it possible to have an option to include pages we have not created, but contributed to? I would be extremely interested in this, and could not find anything online. It's a good incentive for people, especially new folks like me, as the list on our homepages are not expandable and a bit random.

Topviews bug report[edit]

For yearly 2022 report only 400 first pages open. It always showed around 1000 pages.--Maxaxax (talk) 17:31, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Maxaxax Due to the size of the dataset and the time it takes to run the jobs, the yearly reports unfortunately only include up to 500 pages (non-mainspace and other less relevant pages may be removed). Apologies! MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 15:47, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Maxaxax: Here have the unmodified TOP 7951 articles (every page with 1M+ human pageviews per year) for enwiki in year 2022. Source: https://archive.org/details/2022-daily_user_pageviews. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 01:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Page views for large set[edit]

Hello, I have a large set of articles I would like to run page views for. There are 254 articles in English Wikipedia that I'm interested in pulling pageview data for. Any suggestions for a need beyond the maximum of 10 articles allowed in this tool? Thanks! Mcbrarian (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mcbrarian: You can use the Wikimedia page API.
P.S.: If You wanna the mass pageview export, so send You me a mail. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 19:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dušan Kreheľ: That would be very helpful! Can I send you a spreadsheet? What metadata do you need me to send to you for the pageview export? Mcbrarian (talk) 15:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mcbrarian: You can send me.
The input data are for one record: TITLE, WIKI, DATE_INTERVAL_FROM and DATE_INTERVAL_TO. The title in user like format (none URL-% in title; right Example: User:Dušan Kreheľ; the best in UTF-8), WIKI in full format (Ex. en.wikipedia.org; full project list), DATE_INTERVAL in ISO format (Ex. 2022-12-25). Another input format is more work, but no disaster. The main thing is that the data is unambiguous.

@Dušan Kreheľ: Thanks for your support on this. I found MusikAnimal (WMF)'s suggestion much easier to perform, so I'm working on that. I only had the Page Titles, not the URLS. I won't be sending you anything after all. Mcbrarian (talk) 23:30, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi @Mcbrarian! It sounds like @Dušan Kreheľ is eager to help, but in case you didn't know: toolforge:massviews can be used to get pageviews for any arbitrary list of pages. See documentation at Pageviews Analysis#Massviews. I think in your case it's probably easiest to either create a page containing links to each of the pages, then plug that into Massviews with the "Wikilinks" option. Alternatively, you can create a Pagepile and plug that into Massviews. Hope this helps, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 21:01, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MusikAnimal (WMF) Thank you for this very helpful suggestion. I was using links from Altmetric explorer, which were proxied, so I ended up just pasting in the titles for English Wikipedia articles and hyperlinking them. The pagepile worked! Thanks again.

Form of adress in German pages[edit]

https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/pageviews/faq/#redirects in German obviously can't decide whether to "duz" or to "siez" the reader. MenkinAlRire (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mediaviews analysis on toolforge[edit]

The wikimedia file information page offers a mediaviews analysis on toolforge. This video constantly gets over a 1.000 requests every day. The wikipedia pages, where the video is embedded, are accessed much less often. How does this tool count?
