Statistics
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.
General-purpose dashboards[edit]
- Wikistats: key statistics such as pageviews, unique devices, editors, and pages, available both for individual project and cross-project
- For documentation, see wikitech:Analytics/Wikistats.
- The old version of Wikistats is no longer updated, but still accessible.
- Vital Signs: pageviews and unique devices per site, which are better covered by Wikistats (see early documentation)
- User agent breakdowns: information on browsers and operating systems used by site visitors
- Multilingual projects
- Statistics by Magnus for Wikidata and wikidata:Category:Wikidata statistics

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.
- Pageviews Analysis: If given the title of a Wikipedia article and a date range, this tool reports how many pageviews that article got in that range.
- Topviews: Most viewed pages of a project
- Mediaviews: If given the title of a media (image, video, audio etc.) and a date range, this tool reports how many pageviews that media request got in that range. You can also do a comparison of media requests across multiple files.
