Limn does not show metrics for WikiData
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Some Limn charts show top 10 wikis only. Even while Wikidata is among those it is not presented. Could this have to do with it being the only wiki with an incomplete time series? (where Limn see 3 years of data for other wikis).

(BTW is showing top 10 by design? input contains top 25 wikis)

A useful email from Erik Z, pasted below for my convenience:

I just checked: Wikidata is in the input file for the report card.
It is in the top 25 wikis for which data are fed into Limn, for new editors, and for (very) active editors, (actually it is in the top 10 even).
It just doesn’t show in Limn (I’m guessing why that might be: maybe because it is an outlier in that it is the only project with an incomplete time series)
I just filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58450

Incidentally Limn does only show and export to csv / htm table the top 9 rows instead of 25 contained in the input.

Ceterum censeo Limn invigorandum esse.
Now that we are at it, the 25 languages limit by itself is a relic from report card version 1 which was based on a spreadsheet.
A long standing wish of mine for Limn is to remove these limitations alltogether, not feed 25 languages but all 280 and not 3 years but all history.
And have a language selector box as a navigational tool. I’ll try to get this on the agenda when Limn functionality boost is scheduled.

BTW wikivoyage is also fed into Limn, in per project totals, but unlike the old report card Limn doesn’t show charts with per project totals just yet

WikiData, WikiVoyage and Meta all count towards deduplicated total active editors.
Next time I should check first, concede an oversight later. ;-)

What that leaves to be fixed in Wikistats as far as I can see is add page views for meta wiki:

Just to be specific, the list of graphs that I think are affected is:

new_editors
active_editors
articles
articles_per_day
edits
very_active_editors

Limn does not have any capacity for showing the top X performers in a particular dataset. Changing these graphs to add WikiData will be a manual task. However, in starting work on this we found another potentially serious issue with the reportcard: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59826

This issue shall take a back seat to that one, but they may be resolved in tandem.

The input is top 25 in sort order of respective metric already. No need to do anything about this.

Wohoo! I see Wikidata (in elegant silver gray) in the legend on reportcard.wmflabs.org . Unfortunately, the actual Graph line is still missing.

Awesome! It works now. Thank you!
