Thanks for the tool and the tip[edit]

Thank you, Melancholie, for the wonderful tip and the tool that you provided. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 07:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, thanks for creating and pointing out this. It's kinda sad how many hits come from popular lists that got deleted. But there are lots of viable search terms as well that can be redirected.--ragesoss (talk) 21:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible to expand Wikipedia:Most missed articles to cover the next several thousand search terms? There were a lot of valid redirects in the first batch, so already thousands of hits per day will be sent to the correct place instead of the search page thanks to your work. Cheers!--ragesoss (talk) 19:47, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All blue-links will disappear with the next update. I will do an update when my yearly dump contains the full November data (may take up to one week). --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 20:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
P.s.: I will try to make the list longer next time. By the way: You could add the JavaScript mentioned on top to MediaWiki:Common.js, as this will improve the quality of the list a lot (in future). --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 21:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Polish Wiktionary on mobile phones[edit]

Hello, I've seen your message on Polish Wiktionary about the mobile version. I wonder why does pl.wiktionary look so different from de and en - namely, there's no search field, so Polish version is completely unusable. Do you know how this can be fixed? --Derbeth talk 18:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page view distribution[edit]

This is great. Comparing that against the total page stats yields that 8.7 out of 15.4 million Wikipedia pages are viewed on any given day. That's a pretty good ratio, but probably alot of old stuff lost in the corners of project space that is never seen. The article results aren't as clear. I'm guessing that your stats are including redirects in the 5.9 million as opposed to only 2.6 million actual 'content pages' listed on the stats page. Is interesting that redirects get hit more often (at least 3.3 million times) than the content pages themselves. --CBD 15:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article traffic statistics[edit]

Hey- I just noticed you responded to my post on Henrik's talk page. What I mean by the statistics being unavailable for December 2008 is that in the drop-down menu it doesn't offer "200812" as an option...to see any December hit counts for a page you need to manually type in the date into the URL search bar (which is a big inconvenience and a bit annoying). I knew that the stats were available, what I would like Henrik to do is fix the drop-down menu so that it reads 200812 instead of 200712. Hopefully s/he fixes it soon though. -Jrcla2 (talk)(contribs) 21:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cipotânea[edit]

You mentioned this article as an example of (old, missed) vandalism. (The "missed" vandalism you pointed out had been there only a few hours, I note.) That article now contains much non-english (Portuguese, I presume). You might want to check it out. - Hordaland (talk) 08:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I remember some better examples, but cannot find them easily in the logs anymore, like I wrote. And I think 4 hours is much! (if Numbo3 hadn't corrected it, how long would it have taken for the next? Coincidence is not a good friend ;-) --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 08:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But the article as it looks now. Does that qualify as vandalism, or what? It's been that way since 27 December. - Hordaland (talk) 08:36, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah :-) Now I see :-) This article became a real prime example ("") ;-) --- Thanks, Melancholie (talk) 09:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:LSR/syntax and Template:LPR/syntax[edit]

There are a lot of bug : - example : Pidgin (software) :

only http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Latest_stable_software_release/Pidgin_(software)&action=edit and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Latest_preview_software_release/Pidgin_(software)&action=edit

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

— Neustradamus (✉) 01:01, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Neustradamus, if "|name=Pidgin" is given, the destination will be .../Pidgin, else it will be the page name (title). It actually should work now, I hope. Unfortunately, the whole system to update figures still has to be improved, yet. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 12:37, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this is a mistake because PAGENAME is a page name not a name ... You can look French models. — Neustradamus (✉) 00:30, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Removing PAGENAME from this might not be that easy, as many articles may depend on this yet.(?) I intend to improve the update process of software versions etc. in future anyway if bugzilla:4547 doesn't get fixed soon. --- Nice regards, Melancholie (talk) 01:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
since 2006-01-10 01:27 :D never fix ... Have you look French Templates ? — Neustradamus (✉) 03:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@problem #1 (PAGENAME): The "|name=Pidgin" thing has been a change by the community, I think (my initial template only used PAGENAME like yours)
@problem #2 (&preload): Yes, you are using #ifexist: to remove &preload=..., but actually &preload doesn't harm, I think. Not sure what's better, to use a expensive? parser function or to just let there be &preload. But feel free to add your optimizations also to the local template. --- Nice regards, Melancholie (talk) 03:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LSR and LPR templates are protected :( Regards — Neustradamus (✉) 05:01, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's true. Only sysops can edit those templates. I'm not an admin here to, unfortunately. Maybe Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard would be a place to request this? --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 14:35, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Templates no answer, can you help me ? Thanks in advance, Regards — Neustradamus (✉) 22:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, not sure how to help in such a case. I would wait some more hours. If nothing happens, you may ask the community on the village pump page to have a look on that. But like I wrote, your #1 was a community decision, so this seems intended. And #2 seems controversial/disputable. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dumps, missing months?[edit]

Hello, I tried http://wikistics.falsikon.de/dumps.htm as you suggested me but I got an error for september, august and july; have the files been removed?

Danke!

Eugenio2 (talk) 15:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, 2shared seems to delete those files after few months. You can use the RapidShare links behind for the moment (the r links); those will work. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 10:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
thanks! Eugenio2 (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like the RapidShare links are broken now, too. Can you please make it available somewhere? Many thanks! Cyberfishee (talk) 20:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
See also the answer at meta:User_talk:Melancholie#Dumps_links_broken? I will do that tomorrow. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is it available now? :) It would be very nice of you if you can make a version of the dump with articles with less than 2 views, since I will be using it to determine what articles to exclude from a distribution (to save space), and I suppose the most gain would be from articles with 0 or 1 views. Excluding all articles that don't appear in the log is a bit too risky for me... Thanks! Cyberfishee (talk) 05:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am uploading the dumps right now. I feel very sorry for letting you wait so long! You now can download the latest monthly dumps listed at http://wikistics.falsikon.de/dumps.htm again (yet, those that are printed in bold). Via RSS you will be informed shortly about the other available dumps then.
It is not possible for me to provide dumps containing "1 hit wonders", though (they would be huge, contain a lot of 404 garbage). There is no problem with "excluding all articles that don't appear in the log", as all pages are contained (if > 1 (mostly random) hit per day); nothing important is missing. Note that this is even the best method, as there are some pages that do not get any hits at all (<= 1) per day in a month. But note that there are also page name lists (e.g. this or Special:AllPages) you may use. You should compare my logs with a page name list, if possible, to filter out all non-existing (404) page titles (that got many hits somehow) anyway. --- Very best regards, Melancholie (talk) 00:11, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah okay. Thanks! I wasn't aware of the 404 issue. Cyberfishee (talk) 08:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Any chance the yearly dump(s) can go up, too? Many thanks! Cyberfishee (talk) 22:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Upped yearly Wikipedia-only dumps, http://wikistics.falsikon.de/dumps.htm (do you need non-Wikipedia data too?) -- I hope to be able to update the dumps pretty soon. --- Kind regards, Melancholie (talk) 23:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I only need the Wikipedia dump for my project. Cyberfishee (talk) 00:23, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

Thank you for your wikiStics. I added it to my toolbox ([1]). --FocalPoint (talk) 18:48, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

47%[edit]

Thanks for answer my query on Henrik's page. I'm adding your talk page to my watchlist so hopefully I can keep up a bit on the stats bonanza. Fascinating stuff. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing probably is to watch Wikipedia:Statistics, I think ;-) --- Kind regards, Melancholie (talk) 04:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Something wrong happened with the most missed article page.[edit]

Hey, I was removing blue links (see this: [[2]] when this happened at the conclusion of that edit: Wikipedia:Most missed articles. I am not sure what is up? Are the links meant to stay there or something? Is it something on your end. When you click edit on the page the list is still there, just you cant see anything when looking at it normally :s. Calaka (talk) 11:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed that. The reason was the equal sign, breaking the wiki template structure. --- Kind regards, Melancholie (talk) 12:00, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah good catch! Calaka (talk) 12:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
