Mediaviews

Hey, in the mediaviews the project "en.wikipedia.org" is preselected. That does not make sense. Can you please change the preselection there to "commons.wikimedia.org"? WikiPate (talk) 15:08, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

It uses whatever project you were querying against in the other tool. If you go to Mediaviews directly, it defaults to Commons. But I still agree, we should remove the auto-add-project for links pointing to Mediaviews. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 23:12, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

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

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)

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)
Restoring this thread which is being archived due to age, but hasn't (AFAICT) been resolved yet. --Waldyrious (talk) 14:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Apologies. I will tend to this when time allows. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Missing data for some language versions

I was using "Langviews" to make a list of films which had at least 10 language versions by the end of the year they were released. If I search for langviews for, e.g. "Onward" (2020 film), selecting time range 2020-01-01 - 2020-12-31 i can see the results for 42 language versions, despite the fact, according to Wikidata, by the end of 2020 there had been already 44 language versions. Ukrainian and Russian pageviews data are missing for that particular movie, in that particular time range. The same thing with "Tenet" (2020 film) but there're missing data for Romanian pageviews. Why Langviews doesn't work accurately? LeoXspm (talk) 15:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Pulling up those examples in the main Pageviews tool, we see it also gives no data (example). This a "Not found" error, which usually means no pageviews. If I include redirects, there are quite a few pageviews. Pageviews are associated with the title, not the page ID, so perhaps some page moves and/or history merges are at fault here. The Langviews tool unfortunately doesn't include redirects, though that's something I'd like to see added eventually. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 04:41, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Dave Portnoy Pageview Issue

Link: https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2015-07-01&end=2025-05-06&pages=Dave_Portnoy

Problem: When we looked at this data in November 2024, he had more than 5 million pageviews over the past four year. Now it's showing less than one million for all time - hoping someone can help explain or fix this discrepancy!

Browser: Chrome Operating system: macOS Sequoia Version 15.4.1

Thank you!

Inaccurate Pageviews

Hello,

I noticed inaccuracies in data on pageviews for an article (Gaza war, formerly Israel-Hamas war) that I am conducting research on. I am using Chrome, and I noticed that the pageview data has changed over time. In March of 2024, Pageviews Analysis showed that the Israel-Hamas War article had 1601157 pageviews between October 7 2023 and March 7 2024. Now, seen in the permalink below, the results are not the same at all. I also attempted to retrieve pageviews for the period between March 7 2024 and August 7 2024, and I've experienced the same issue. I am aware that the article was moved to Gaza War in January of 2025, which I think may be the cause of this issue. However, the long period of missing data is providing inaccurate results for my research. Is there a way to retrieve the accurate number of pageviews for the periods below?

Time periods: May 7 2023 - October 6 2023 October 7 2023 - March 6 2024 March 7 2024 - August 7 2024 August 8 2024 - January 15 2025
