Mailing List Archive: Wikistats is back to May 2008 version

There is something seriously wrong with the figures for some wikipedias in
the new wikistats reports. The figures for some wikis are much too low. When
comparing csv files (raw counts) produced in May 2008 and produced recently
it is quite easy to tell the difference. For some wikis the data for months
up to May 2008 are equal in the old and new files, for other wikis the
counts are completely different for any month from the start of the wiki.

I am truly sorry that I did not spot this earlier. The scripts that handle
basic data gathering have not changed recently. Instead I have been
completely focused on optimizing the reporting scripts and adding
presentation logic. I have restored the May 2008 version of wikistats. I
will start to investigate tomorrow. For now Happy Xmas :)

Beste Erik,

Kan gebeuren, ik verwacht des te meer met spanning de nieuwe cijfers. Goed
dat je het even nog hebt gemeldt, want ik was al een bijdraag voor een
maillinglist aan het schrijven over de heel lage cijfers voor Duitse nieuwe
wikipedianen.
Erik, het was mooi om je te leren kennen, en in 2009 zou ik graag het met
jou nog over het een en ander hebben. Ook al is mijn begrip voor getallen en
statistiek maar praktisch en niet zeer vakkundig.

Het beste voor 2009 en Wikipedia-vrije feestdagen wenst je

Ziko van Dijk
