af Writing competition dashboard not working

[edit]

Hello, the Afrikaans Writing Competition Dashboard seems to have cleared its self and is no longer displaying any data on articles created, number of edits and other such metrics. I also cant seem to scheduled a data update either. Could someone please look into this for us or let us know if we have done anything wrong? Thanks, --Discott (talk) 12:34, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. The activity feed seems to be working correctly. It looks like the course title has an extra space at the end. I wondered if that was causing something to break in the overall stats so I changed it with the intention of changing it back. Unfortunately the Edit Details form trims extra whitespace, so I can't change it back. This means the URL has changed - it no longer has an underscore at the end (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_ZA/Afrikaans_Writing_Competition). Doubly unfortunately, this didn't fix anything. @Sage (Wiki Ed): Do you know why the overall stats aren't updating here? Also, I filed an issue about the trailing whitespace problem.

Pinging @Discott:. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 15:16, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Discott, Samwalton9 (WMF): it's set with the 'Article Scoped Program' type, so it will only show stats for articles that are assigned or within a tracked category. If you want to track all edits to Afrikaans Wikipedia made by the participants, you should change the type to 'Generic Course'.--24.19.10.168 19:25, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ah, good to know. I will change it back to 'Generic Course' then and see what happens. Thanks Samwalton9 (WMF).--Discott (talk) 20:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Introduction

Hello, I am Yakam Cressence, computer engineer and currently Outreachy intern contributing to wiki Foundation project. So glad to be part of this community.

Using the Dashboard for #1Lib1Ref

[edit]

Hi everyone,
In Canada, we are doing a friendly competition for the #1Lib1Ref campaign. Since we have to register all edits of the participants to determine the winning institution, using the Dashboard seems to be the best option. But I have some reserves since it's not really possible to know what part of the data is dedicated to adding references. Words Added seems to be the best indicator to determine the winner, but it doesn't say where those words were added. For example, if a participant upload a ton of infos on wikidata, the Words Added numbers will be very high even if there were not a single reference added. Any tips or idea on how to use the Dashboard for that kind of competition? Lea-Kim (talk) 17:16, 13 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Lea-Kim: - I love the idea of this competition! Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware the dashboard doesn't currently have any way to track the number of references added unfortunately. That's actually data that's missing more broadly, there isn't any direct log of references/links added on Wikimedia projects (though it's something we're working on as part of the Knowledge Integrity program at the WMF) so I'm not sure you'll find any tool that's capable of doing this. One solution might be to have participants use a specific hashtag when they make an edit which adds citations (like #1lib1refcite), and track those using the Hashtags tool, but obviously some manual work would be required to delve into each edit to count the number of individual citations added, if you wanted to get that granular. @Sage (Wiki Ed): Do you have any thoughts on this? Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 11:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Many thanks for the swift answer @Samwalton9: - Using the specific hashtags is what we will do this year again. It's a lot more work, but last year it kind of worked. Of course, if in any way it was possible, one day, to track added references, this would be a game changer. With "only" 13 institutions participating this year it's manageable, but if we have 50 next year, it's going to be almost impossible to use the hashtags. --Lea-Kim (talk) 13:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
It's a data stream so many people would find useful - we're really hoping to have it before next year's event! Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 15:07, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Lea-Kim, Samwalton9 (WMF): Hmm... I think we actually could come up with an 80% solution to counting refs added pretty easily. The Dashboard already fetches ORES data for each revision, and that data includes the number of ref tags (example). So we could pretty easily calculate the number of refs added to an article, with the caveat that it would also include references added by other people in between the tracked edits. I'll add an issue for it; that might make a nice project for a Google Summer of Code / Outreachy intern.--Sage (Wiki Ed) 18:11, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
+1 for this request, this year I have been doing it manually (fr:Wikipédia:1Lib1Ref/UBM/2019) but if it was available in the exported file that would save me a lot of time (to add more reference :p) ! Symac (talk) 08:02, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello everyone! Bonjour à tou-te-s ! Bonjour du Canada ! Greetings from Canada. We are currently compiling the winners of our annual Canadian #1Lib1Ref competition and we ran into another small issue. We noticed that the dashboard, in addition to counting the number of Wikipedia references added, it also counts the number of Wikidata references added. Is there anyway to modify the dashboard so it clearly shows the number of Wikipedia and Wikidata references added in distinct columns? It would really help us with with the counting of the winners. [2020 Canadian #1Lib1Ref Dashboard]. I also want to thank the developer(s) that added the reference tracking feature to the Dashboard. This really helped streamline our work at Wikimedia Canada this year. Fingers crossed that we can make another improvement to this amazing tool! Merci !

Gender mismatch in Question

[edit]

On the Notability page (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/students/wikipedia-essentials/notability-quiz) I'm told in Question 4 that my sister has an academic journal on "Dog Eat Dog", but she is then referred to as 'he' in two subsequent sentences in that paragraph. Hope this can be fixed. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. Looks like this was actually fixed 6 months ago - @Sage (Wiki Ed): Any idea why this hasn't made it into the dashboard? I just did a manual 'Reload from Source' but that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 20:27, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Samwalton9 (WMF), Nick Moyes: Fixed! It didn't updated before because the latest revision of the page never got marked for translation after the copyedit. When translation is enabled for a page, the dashboard will pull from the English translation page (based on the latest revision marked for translation) rather than the root page. I just marked it for translation and refreshed again.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:38, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks folks. @Samwalton9: Is it worth me repeating some feedback I gave via a form today about two places where there are also conflicts around the 'Save changes' issue? (We're still see quite a few confused editors coming to the Teahouse who are unsure where the 'Save' button is.) Firstly, as it would impossible to update all the old embedded YouTube videos that referred to 'Save', could I suggest a notice is added to this introductory page to explain the mismatch? Then, on the Make Your Mark page the text itself needs updating. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Of course! Since that content is hosted here on Meta it's simply a case of making a quick edit (and pinging @Sage (Wiki Ed): to mark the page for translation). I've also made a note on the first page. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 01:03, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Tracking across projects

[edit]

Does/can the dashboard track contributions across projects? English Wikipedia is my home project, and one user in my edit-a-thon is wondering why their contributions on the French Wikipedia don't seem to be counted in the totals. I think that's because of the settings, but I wonder if it would be useful to have a feature that allows tracking across a set of projects instead of just one. Wugapodes (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Wugapodes: Hi. If this is a specific event, the best strategy is to add up the specific entry the student has worked on as an assigned article on the Editors tab on the Dashboard. Then, it will monitor contributions to this entry in French. Does this make sense? --Joalpe (talk) 10:42, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Articles edited - adding suggested articles

[edit]

Hello! I started adding some suggested articles, but I encountered a strange error. Once I add a suggested article and then click the Articles tab, I get several red ribbons popping up with the message "There was an error:" and I am unable to keep scrolling down. This only happens immediately after adding an article to the suggested list, and is possibly triggered by scrolling my mouse over the Remove button.

Bonjour si possible de m'édifier comment faire pour participer et faire un événement Dashboard Merci de votre compréhension

download/ assignment of the article

[edit]

I cannot download to dashboard my english version of article opioid induced endocrinopathy, only the swedish one. Lenka

Hi! It looks like this is working now; I see the English version in the list at https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Uppsala_Universitet/Introduktion_till_vetenskaplig_Forskning_2019_(VT2019)/articles
The likely reason it didn't show up earlier is that there were no English Wikipedia articles listed as assignments for that course, so the Dashboard was not checking English Wikipedia for contributions. There's now one English Wikipedia assignment, so any contributions from that course on English Wikipedia should be tracked going forward.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Automatic enrollment wasn't working for Edit-a-thon dashboard

[edit]

Hi, When editors tried to enroll in one of our edit-a-thons the other day and this morning, the automatic enrollment did not work and the page prompted a passcode to enroll. Now, the same editors say that the same link allows them to enroll. I put the passcode in the dashboard description just in case this happens again. Any idea why it might work sometime and not others?

Event Dashboard not registering data

[edit]

The dashboard for my event - https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Miranda_House/Delhi_MH_ArtAndFeminism_2019/home

is not registering any changes our editors are making to the article. Please could you help out.

Our Edit-a-thon event isn't showing accurate articles/edits figures even after scheduled data updates

[edit]

On March 6th we hosted an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/California_College_of_the_Arts/Art_Feminism_2019/home

We had 15 editors attend, as you can see, and all but a couple did some editing. But when you view the list of Editors, most have no contributions listed. The total articles edited, total edits, and words added are all well below what they should be. For instance, look at these editors contribution histories during the time frame of the event (1pm - 4:30pm PT on 2019-03-06):

While there are some edits represented on the Editors page, the totals seem to have missed a lot of activity and some people who definitely did some work have nothing but zeroes listed. I've tried clicking the Schedule Data Update button on the program's home page a couple times on different days, yet our figures haven't changed.

I don't know if this is related, but we had some odd time problems with our event. While I'm sure I didn't enter these times originally, the event was showing up as the right time zone but being very late at night (like 8pm to past midnight) the day before the event, so I corrected it back to 1-4:30pm PT. Then, on the day of the event, I was told that even after the edit-a-thon had started at 1pm people were receiving a message that they couldn't join because the event hadn't begun yet. Not knowing what to do, I broadened the time range to encompass the whole day (1am - 10:30pm PT) and suddenly folks could join again.

Yikes. You're the second person in the last couple days noting issues like this, and I finally realized the problem. 10 days ago we deployed an update that included a timezone bug, so that the time shown as your local time as actually UTC. We just deployed a fix, so the time it shows now should be accurate in terms of what gets tracked. I think we're going to add a 12 hours buffer at the start/end of each event set up in the last 10 days, just so we can make sure all the cases like this one end up counting the edits they should. Thank you for the detailed problem report!--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:36, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Activity Tracking: DC NMWA ArtAndFeminism 2019

[edit]

Hello,

We saw the notice about the bug, but we still can't get our activity tracking timeframe to cooperate. Our event started at 10AM and will end at 2:30PM EST, but the tracking time keeps reverting back to 10AM. In other words, it shows the activity tracking time ending and starting at the same time (10AM0. No matter how many time we correct and save it, it reverts back to 10AM.

Also, we are able to see our activity in the 'Activity' tab, but edits aren't showing in the real time at the banner on the top on 'Home'.

Ariel Cetrone (WMDC): that's weird; I'm not sure why it wasn't saving your time changes. I just changed it and updated the data, and it looks like it's working properly now. What operating system and browser were you using?--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Multiple language versions not possible?

[edit]

Hi! We have had an event in the Netherlands on March 8 (Wikigap event Maastricht). We have edited in multiple language versions. In the metrics I only see results of 1 language version. I did find this: Home language -- the language prefix that will be most used for contributions (must select only one language. Contributions from all Wikimedia language projects are included in the program, but the article selector tool will use this home language as default and changes to the language prefix must be made manually for each article.) but I do not understand what it means exactly.
Is there a way to see results of all edits on all language versions in 1 result list? --Denise Jansen WMNL (talk) 14:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

DDJJ: The current workaround for tracking multiple languages is to add an Assignment or an Available Article for each wiki other than the home language that you want to track. If you do that and then click 'schedule data update', it should include metrics for all the wikis you added.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:17, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Tracking pageviews!

[edit]

Hi! I have a question about the trackingnumbers in a program. I wonder if the dashboard continues to measure page views after the events end time? Kind regards, Mia Jacobsson (WMSE) (talk) 12:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Mia Jacobsson (WMSE): The pageview tracking continues for a short time after the end of the event — about 30 days — but won't be updated after that.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sage (Wiki Ed): Thank you for your reply! I also have another question. It seems like the statistics of pageviews on articles at the dashboard not always correspond to the the amount of pageviews during the same dates if you go to the Pageviews Analysis at Wikipedia on the same article. Do you know why it is like this? Kind regards Mia Jacobsson (WMSE) (talk) 07:40, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Mia Jacobsson (WMSE) There's some lag before pageviews get imported, typically about a day. It also only counts page views starting from the first day a page was edited (rather than the start of the event, if that's earlier). If you're seeing cases where that wouldn't explain it, please point me to some examples and I can look into it further.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Sage (Wiki Ed) Hi, thank you for your answer! I have one good example. It is an article over the topic concerning Nuclear Proliferation and you'll find it's numbers here https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Uppsala_University/Introductory_PhD_course/articles/edited and if you compare it with the pagewievs in this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_proliferation it doesn't looks the same. Can you find out what is wrong? I'm so grateful that you are helping me out with this. Mia Jacobsson (WMSE) (talk) 06:51, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
The first edit from the course to that page was on March 27. The Dashboard currently shows 3297 views, which I think corresponds to this period, March 28 through April 6. The Dashboard started counting from the day after the edit was made (since we don't know how many views from March 27 are from before the edit), and only has data imported through April 6 so far.--24.19.10.168 22:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@KCVelaga: The Activity for the event mentioned is as follows: tracking start: 2019-01-01 00:00 India Standard Time Activity tracking end: 2019-03-31 23:59 India Standard Time. but in the activity tab the edits in the month april is also shown. -- Balajijagadesh (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Balajijagadesh: Please don't worry. The metrics under the "Home" are for the given activity start and end times. Whereas the edits under the "Activity" tab are the recent edits made by editors of this program. But please note that these edits are not counted for the actual metrics. This tool is largely used by Education Program organisers and also for new editor training events, it is for those who wish to check the activity of the newly trained users even after the education program or an edit-a-thon is over. It is similar to the "Recent edits" column under the "Editor" tab. I hope this answers your query :) KCVelaga (talk) 04:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

URL Shortner for Dashboard

[edit]

@Sage (Wiki Ed), Samwalton9 (WMF), and Lea Lacroix (WMDE): This can probably be considered as a feature request depending upon the solution. With reference to the above section, sharing links of programs on the dashboard is never easy. So I was thinking that it would be great to have a way to shorten these URLs. My first question whether if we can allow shortening of P&E Dashboard links via the newly developed URL Shortner. If not, how about adding shortener like for we have for Wikidata Query service.

Any ways to track edits on Commons?

[edit]

Hi, I am planning to run an upload-a-thon and I would like to take advantage of this dashboard. Since categorizing on Commons is also considered to be a part of this upload-a-thon, I would like the Dashboard to analyze edits made on Commons, besides uploads on Commons only. However, I ran into trouble when creating a new program, it doesn't seem like I can set commons as the default project/language. Are there any ways I can get around this? --TechyanTalk19:14, 16 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Techyan: You can select Commons as the home wiki by putting `commons` as the language and `wikimedia` as the project.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:51, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Remove articles from tracking

[edit]

Is it (or could it be) possible to remove specific articles from being tracked by an event dashboard? I often get brilliant very experienced editors come along and contribute. Then (whilst newer, slower editors are still finishing their pages and I still need to be tracking) the experienced eds will go home and edit things unrelated to an event. These might skew reporting so is there a way to take them off whilst still capturing the relevant edits? Zeromonk (talk) 19:26, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Zeromonk: Currently, this is only possible if you change the program type to 'Article Scoped Program' and then Assign every article that you do want to track to one of the participants. For an Article Scoped Program, only assigned articles count towards the stats. We have plans to eventually add a feature where you can do the reverse, and choose specific articles that are showing in for the program to be filtered out. This is a possible stretch goal for one of our summer interns, Amit, although it would be quite a lot of work to get that done before the end of his internship.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support for Wikiversity and Wikibooks?

[edit]

Does this tool provide any amount of support for Wikibooks and Wikiversity? I have a class program which has produced about 500 very good wiki publications in Wikibooks.

I am talking with the v:WikiJournal User Group about submitting these into the WikiJournals for review and cataloging. The WikiJournal is in Wikiversity.

I recognize that Wikibooks and Wikiversity are less popular projects. Still, in all these publications I think we have a foundation of precedent for some academic critique and wiki-style publishing in these platforms. Getting a bit of cohort data would be a big help for me to pilot this use case.

What is the status? Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:15, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

User:Bluerasberry: Sorry, I missed this question earlier. We have moderate support for Wikibooks and Wikiversity. You can track mainspace edits for those projects the same way you can for Wikipedias. As part of his Google Summer of Code project, our intern Amit also added preliminary support for additional namespaces in those projects, so the Dashboard pulls in revisions to the Cookbook, Portal, School, and Collection namespaces... although it doesn't treat those as mainspace article contributions, so they don't count toward top-level stats.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:42, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Counting references seems faulty

[edit]

I checked my edit counts including reference counts prior to adding an entirely new reference to an article. My count was 160 before the addition and 160 after. Hope there is some explanation or a fix. (I am talking about the current summary and the summary prior to Scaevola collaris ID: 908165747. Between now and then, a new reference (Stearn, 2004) was added.) MargaretRDonald (talk) 01:33, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

MargaretRDonald: The Dashboard takes some to import reference count data, after the revisions themselves show up on the Dashboard. Now that the older data has all been imported, it should be relatively quick going forward though; references added ought to show up within about an hour or two in most cases. If things still look wrong, let me know and I'll look into it further. The reference data still has some rough edges that we're working out.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:35, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Was still showing the same error last night. In the intervening period since it first showed 160 for me, the count has not changed, but I have started articles, modified articles and so on, all with new references in that period. To me it appears as if it is simply not updating. (Nor has my mate's reference count altered in that time, and she too is a tireless wikipedian, adding text and references on a daily basis....) MargaretRDonald (talk) 03:22, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
MargaretRDonald: It looks like the Dashboard is a little behind for importing the data data for references added. It's ticked up a bit since then. We'll see what we can do to pull in the data in a more timely way.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Sage (Wiki Ed). I'll check it out again, soon. MargaretRDonald (talk) 01:39, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
wait, we count references now?

How does that work? Where can I see reference counts? Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:01, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

User:Bluerasberry: yes! See, for example, here. It shows the count for a whole program, and for individual articles and users as well (on the respective tab). It only works (somewhat) reliably for English Wikipedia at this point. It's based on ORES features, like this; the Dashboard looks up the ORES data for any given revision along with the data for the parent revision, and the ref count is based on the change between them. In particular, it uses `feature.wikitext.revision.ref_tags` which is the number of "ref" tags within the wikitext.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Sage (Wiki Ed): This feature has been a long time dream! Wow! Can you clarify - when will classes in English Wikipedia get reports in their dashboard instances? Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:55, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
User:Bluerasberry: It works automatically for any not-already-ended en.wiki programs, like the one I linked above. It should also work for any previous programs, if you click the 'schedule data update' button so that the numbers will get updated for that program; normally, it stops updating programs 30 days after they end. If you notice irregularities or unexpected results, please post the details; we've found a few bugs already, and I'm sure there will be a few more at least.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:09, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
It works, it works! I see hundreds of references counted. I am not sure if the numbers are accurate because I have not checked by hand. I will start to examine this for future programs. If I see problems then I will report them. Blue Rasberry (talk) 09:28, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Real name of the facilitator

[edit]

There is no possibility to add real name of the facilitator, once the user is already submittited to a program. There is no [edit] link available. If is deeply absurd that on the Wikipedia page the user (facilitator) is instructed to do such an edit within the dashboard interface, yet there is no option to do so. --KKDAII (talk) 21:32, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reference counts still not updating

[edit]

Reference count unchanged. Though articles to which I have added references today show byte count changes while indicating no references added which is simply incorrect. I added at least 6 references to the Barbara Hanrahan article this morning.

WWW finally has updated the references, adding close to 200 in one hit. However it is disconcerting to have to wait more than a week for reference updates while article and upload counts keep pace. So one sees a new article accounted for but its reference count is zero when I know it is six.... MargaretRDonald (talk) 20:27, 22 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dashbord stopped updating since August 26

[edit]

Hello,

Recently the WMIL team encountered a problem around the Dashboard: According to the Dashboard, users of our courses stopped editing on August 26, 2019. However, in practice, some users continued to work over the time period from the above date until now.

The courses are not over yet, so user tracking should have continue these days.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? I am adding a link to one of the course pages as an example.

Cheers, Shai-WMIL (talk) 09:39, 3 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Shai-WMIL: Thanks for reporting the problem. It looks like the process that handles long-running courses stopped about 8 days ago, so none of those courses have been updated since then. I just restarted it, so the system will start working its way through the backlog now.

Problem to define Home Wiki

[edit]

I created the following programme https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/German-speaking/Interwiki_Women_Collaboration_German-speaking which is part of the campaign https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/interwiki_women_collaboration/programs

During creation of the programme in field Home wiki "en.wikipedia.org" was entered fixedly without possibility to change. In field Tracked Wikis it was also fixedly placed. There at least I could add de.wikipedia.org and wikidata.

I searched where to change that without success.

Now, I try to add articles from de.wikipedia.org but I can only add articles from en.wikipedia.org. That is not possible to change. People from other programms of the campaign have sent me screenshot showing that at this point they can change the project from which articles to add. But I can't.

Please advise.

Best wishes, --Leserättin (talk) 06:28, 5 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

You can reach me by email at sage at wikiedu.org if you wish.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:44, 5 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I am having exactly the same problem. There seems to be no way to shift the "home wiki" from en.wikipedia to es.wikipedia. (I can add es.wikipedia as a tracked project, though that doesn't seem to work in practice.)

It doesn't help that there is no mention of "home wiki" here or here, though here there is mention of "home project," which is not the terminology used by the Dashboard itself. Not that what is says is helpful: "The project suffix used for the principle organizing project (supports only one project. As for home language above, contributions from all projects will be included, but the article selector tool will use the home project as default, changes to the project must be made manually for each article.)." What does this mean? After all, I can't add an article from the Spanish wikipedia, so how can "changes to the project [...] be made manually for each article"?

This FWIW is the "program": https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/University_of_British_Columbia/La_novela_andina_(oto%C3%B1o_de_2019). And here is the relevant Wikipedia page for reference: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Jbmurray/novelaandina.

And in reference to User:Sage (Wiki Ed)'s response above, I generally use Firefox but have the same problem in Safari.

I restored the slug to that campaign, so you shouldn't be getting the 500 anymore. (You had that campaign on your home page, so you got the 500 error there.

Internal Server Error when trying to add articles

When trying to add articles to the dashboard to make them available for editing, we're getting a red ribbon error message reading "There was an error: Internal server error" and nothing is added to the dashboard. It is happening whether we use the "find articles" or the "add available articles" method.

Hello! I'm writing from the New Museum in New York. We're hosting an Art+Feminism Wiki Edit-a-thon for the first time on Sunday. Our project page [3] will not allow us to add any articles. I've tried add using the "Find Articles" module and the "Assign Myself an Article" function but they both return the same error message: "There was an error: Internal server error". I've tried this with a few different browsers with the same resulting error message. Any advice on how to rectify the situation would be deeply appreciated! Many thanks, Amye

Hi Mmustard and AMcCarther. Sorry about that; you found the intersection of two small bugs that made a bigger bug. The Dashboard isn't supposed to let you create a program with + in the title, but it looks like it doesn't actually stop you like it used to. Also, assigning articles is the one action that has a bit of old code that doesn't work when there's a + in the title. I'm working on a fix for both of these things. If you haven't already started sharing the page, the quickest workaround would be to rename the program to remove the plus sign; after doing that, it should work immediately. Otherwise, I expect to have the fix ready and deployed later today or tomorrow, once it's been tested and reviewed.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

It looks like the Wiki Club 2019 program is set to track en.wikipedia.org but not mk.wikipedia.org; if you're looking for articles from mk.wiki, you can add that to the tracked wikis and it should update soon to include more contributions.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:57, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi Sage (Wiki Ed), you are right, en.wiki is mistake, those editors work on mk.wiki. I updated mk.wiki now, but counting from January is lost, I suppose? Regards, - Violetova (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Violetova. Counting from the start date of the program should still work. If there are some missing stats, let me know and I'll try to figure out why.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:13, 13 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

arts+feminism editathon Dec 12

[edit]

Hey, dashboard folks! I learned of an editathon happening next month at an art museum near me and reached out to the event coordinator with an offer to help, will be meeting with her tomorrow (Thursday Nov 21). I've never attended an editathon before, and it sounds like she doesn't have an account yet on enwiki. Eeek. I'm an admin on enwiki, so I can help with event coordinator and account creation, but what else should I be doing? What do I need to ask her/tell her tomorrow? --Valereee (talk) 16:24, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Columns are wrong in the "My Dashboard" screen

[edit]

The labels and the columns are not matching in the my dashboard screen -- the data is assigned to different labels in the campaign and event pages. Astinson (WMF) (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Can you send me a screenshot and link to the events? --Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Just sent it via gchat, and its my dashboard/homepage Astinson (WMF) (talk) 19:25, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I just put in the fix for that. It'll go live the next time we deploy. --Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:57, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Not tracking categories

[edit]

One of our campaigns is not generating collecting the member pages from categories for #WikiForHumanRights:https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Argentina/Wiki_Human_Rights_Campaign_2019/articles . I don't know why it isn't updating, categories and pagepiles appear to be working in other places. Astinson (WMF) (talk) 18:16, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

That link isn't working. Did the program get deleted? --Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:20, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, it seems to be still working. Try this: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Argentina/Wiki_Human_Rights_Campaign_2019 . Cheers, Astinson (WMF) (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Astinson (WMF): That's weird. The first link wasn't working for me earlier, but now it is. Okay! Can you give me some more detail about what is expected versus what you're seeing?--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
We put categories in yesterday, but they never found the content from the categories: @Luisina Ferrante (WMAR): and myself both added different configurations, but neither is "updating". Astinson (WMF) (talk) 19:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
It looks like this is because those categories were just added yesterday, and hadn't yet been processed. (I just triggered a pass on them manually, and they look like they are working as expected now.) Normally, each category entry just gets updated once per day as part of a batch of data updates, and this in total takes several hours. So it will typically take about a day, perhaps a little more, before a newly added category gets populated with its set of articles. The 'last updated' column is misleading in this case, when the record has only ever been "updated" at the time it was added. I'll file a bug so we make sure to fix it.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much Sage (Wiki Ed) and Astinson (WMF) I just saw that the dashboard it´s working and tracking the articles. The number lifted it´s near to the one that I´am tracking manually. Luisina Ferrante (WMAR) (talk) 16:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
