Questions on page view data

Hi there. I asked a question a few weeks ago at http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Task_force/Analytics/Requirements about the scope of the Analytics Upgrade -- basically whether it would include data and statistics on individual page views. In the thread there, Erik Zachte suggested the upgrade would not include those features. Is that indeed the case?

I've intermittently exchanged emails with WMF developers asking about getting individual page view data -- like that at http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ and http://www.archive.org/details/wikipedia_visitor_stats_200712? -- onto a WMF database server and accessible via a web service. Based on those exchanges it seemed like there were some developers working on this; however, I'm unaware of any recent progress. Assuming it's still on the table, has this goal been specifically incorporated into any current projects? Regards, Emw (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

This is an area a lot of us want to do more with, but aren't yet staffed up to make any serious progress in the short term. As Erik mentioned, deploying Open Web Analytics is a baby step in that direction, but there's a lot more work than just that in order to provide the data you want. Keep bugging us for this, though! -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 18:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Flagged Rews Ka

Dear Rob, sorry to disturb you here, on meta and via Email, but I really don't know how to get in touch with you or those, who can enable flagged revs (The Bugzilla request (N24976) is already 4 months old.) I noticed your notice on several wikis, and that's why I'm contacting you. The main idea of it a request to enable the Flagged Revs extension. Maybe you will be so kind to enable it for the Georgian wikipedia? Thank you beforehand!--Gaeser (talk) 14:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes update

Hey Rob. There's an RfC about continuing pending changes, etc. It seems several users have basic questions about the development status and roadmap. If you get a chance could you or one of the other developers chime in with a basic update or reponse to technical questions here. Thanks, Ocaasi (talk) 09:12, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Issues with Mediawiki 120 and file curruptions or missing file description pages at commons.

Please have a look at complaints at commons:Commons:Village_pump#Corrupted_files_after_upload and what's been posted on your announcement. The missing file description and the database error is new, the file corruption of new or previously working file is present at least since MW119. commons:File:BOG 04 2012 Museo de Oro 1203.JPG is another example of an empty shell image, there's not even something showing in the log and it doesn't appear as user upload. Another issue I had seen by watching the gallery of new files in Commons: Files like commons:File:Resort Hotel Olivean Shodoshima Japan04s3.jpg showed up with file missing in the gallery, clicking on the file opened the file description page with nothing in it. The user re-uploaded the file afterwards and both file versions + description appeared then. --Denniss (talk) 11:34, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Denniss, thanks for bringing this to my attention. We know what the cause of the "corrupted files after upload" problem is, and that problem has been corrected. The problems you're citing with commons:File:BOG 04 2012 Museo de Oro 1203.JPG and commons:File:Resort Hotel Olivean Shodoshima Japan04s3.jpg are ones that I don't see myself, but I will keep an eye out and will ask others to keep an eye out for. There are some thumbnail corruption problems that happened in the 1.19 deployment timeframe that we're finally clearing out the last residual effects from (see T36695). That I think is everything that I'm aware of; if there's anything else, please let us know. Thanks! -- RobLa-WMF (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Please investigate how the second version of this image got currupted. That's an upload from today, as usual with most of these corruptions the file links/names are invalid and/or missing some data. Trying to revert to this invalid image I get an internal error. --Denniss (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Another issue here, thumbnail fails, no exif data shown (although present). Only fullres image works. --Denniss (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1830s, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages John Pratt and John Smith (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
