Meaning of Graph

[edit]

I'm afraid I don't understand one of the graphs in this article - the '% of editors who make 100 edits of those who make 5'; I think it's saying that, for example, in Jan 13, there were approximately 10 times as many editors who made 5 edits as made 100. That seems plausible, but even if I've interpreted it correctly, what does that tell us? 5 and 100 are somewhat arbitrary numbers. Are the figures available for a frequency graph of the number of editors who make 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc edits per month?

discrepancy between page and source

[edit]

The Most linked external domains link in the links section said as of April 2011, but the source itself said as of June 2014, I have changed this in my edit but I forgot to put a summary, feel free to revert if I was wrong.

Math

[edit]

@Cloud29371, I see that you were curious about the statement that "Because the top 0.1% of high-traffic articles can each get millions of page views in a year, the mean is about 100 times the median."

This is from unpublished data. On a sample set of 10,000 randomly selected articles created before 2023, the mean number of page views during 2023 was about 5,500 page views, and the median was 48 (just less than once a week). WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:43, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We need a major redesign for this page

[edit]

This page is basically a list of links, some of which are active, and some are inactive. I think we need to be more selective of what statistics are meaningful. For example, I think listing the most viewed pages of all time as well as the past week/month/year is useful. I would also like to see a list of the most viewed pages in non-article namespaces. I also like to see the number of edits a page has altogether as well as recently. If I don't get a response on this page, I would like to bring it up at one of the village pumps so that we can get more info on this especially since this talk page has a low amount of page views.

I think we might have to see if there's not already a Wikipedia projectspace about the most viewed pages. I am very certain there is a couple projectspace pages. If we have pages that automate this, would it make more sense to just link those pages? I believe this page was created before such automation tools. – The Grid (talk) 13:02, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Grid I think we need to do a better job at organizing these pages. It seems like when I try to find the most viewed and most edited pages where the pages exist, the page seems to be too cluttered to really figure that one out. I also think we need to title our statistical pages better to keep up with the changing world. For example, with the title, Popular pages, what does it really mean? Do we mean the most viewed pages of all time, or do we just want recent views? These are some of the questions I have on how we can better organize these pages.

Note 4 update

[edit]

It currently says the number of unregistered active users is not compiled but I think I'm correct that temporary accounts are now included in this stat? SmartSE (talk) 19:28, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
