2014-09-monthly:

Work was done on the following metrics:

  • Rolling New Active Editor - Implemented
  • Rolling Surviving New Active Editor - Implemented
  • Pages Created and Edits - Updated to include reporting configuration to include changes to deleted pages (this is a default).
  • Metrics with ‘Namespaces’ as a parameter let you specify “All Namespaces.” Leave the input field blank to do so.
  • Rolling recurring old active editor is implemented, but does not perform sufficiently rapidly for us to enable it on the production servers.
  • The status of the implementation of Standardized Metrics defined by the Research Team is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Metrics_standardization/Implementation

Wikimetrics is a webtool (formerly known as UserMetrics) designed to simplify the measurement of on-site user activity based on a set of standardized metrics. Using this tool, different metrics can be selected and applied to an arbitrarily defined cohort of users to measure their overall productivity, retention, quantity and quality of wiki work. The platform is language- and project-agnostic (it can retrieve data from any Wikimedia project), extensible (adding new metrics, modifying metric parameters) and designed to make data collection for various types of cohort analysis and program evaluation more user-friendly.
