Download script
Is this stats script available for download? I'd like to use it on my own WIKI.
- I just improved the article with a link to the scripts along with instructions for how to run it on your own MediaWiki. --Fjarlq 15:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I tried accessing the zip file (and, in general, the wikistats page) but am getting 403 errors. --Smunson 00:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Will this be included in the 1.6alpha version?
Wikistats and Wikibooks
The stats for English Wikibooks at http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/wikibooks/EN/Wikibooks_EN.htm are useful.
The November 5 version claims that by rank, Wikibooks:Guide to UNIX is the 55th largest book, and Wikibooks:Guide to X11 (which I started recently) is 219th. But "Transwiki" is 54th, and Wikibooks:Programming is 3rd (because it counts several books like Wikibooks:Programming:C, Wikibooks:Programming:JavaScript), and Wikibooks:The Golden Bough (which should be moved to Wikisource) is 1st. The highest-ranking legitimate book is Wikibooks:Cookbook at 2nd.
The good thing is that since it ignored redirects, I can view the entire "Transwiki" book from here. --Kernigh 03:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
How Often?
How often are the stats compiled? am I to assume that the dump will happen on the 5th of every month, and compiled stats will be posted on the 10th? --Whiteknight 14:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Why no updates?
Why haven't the Wikistats been updated since Dec. 10? It's been too long!
- Argee. It has been nearly 5 months already. I hope that it can be updated at least once a month since the statistic is quite useful. Anyway, anyone here? -- Kevinhksouth 10:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- User:Erik Zachte, who maintains the Wikistats, has said on his talk page on April 19th: "I'll try to run stats once the system is back online and a recent dump has been completed succesfully." I wonder which dump he is talking about. --217.140.198.235 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- All but Wikipedia stats have been updated recently. I hope we get Wikipedias as well very soon. --217.140.198.235 23:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- "No joy." --217.140.198.235 01:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Category Overview
Hi - I just found the category overview on the status page. It's nice to have a "static" alternative to CategoryTree, people have been asking me about it. Shall we cross-link those pages?
Anyway: I think an XML represenation of the category tree would be even more useful for people building bots and other tools, for people doing research on wikipedia, etc. HTML could easily be generated from that. What do you think? -- Duesentrieb 12:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Script Exits Unexpectedly
hi jason and developers, thanks for developing wikireports. great job!
unfortunately the tool exits at a point where it obviously should not do so:
[...] Generate Growth Summary /tmp/wikireports>
checking the code:
sub GenerateGrowthSummary
{
[...]
$m1 = $MonthlyStatsWpStart {"zz"} ;
$m2 = $dumpmonth_ord - 1 ;
if ($m2 < $m1 + 5)
{ exit ; }
Printing m1 and m2, i get a value of 78 for both variables.
Whats going wrong here? thanks in advance for any help,
Best regards, chris
- Please replace { exit ; } by { return ; }
- The script checks if enough months have passed since the first month found in the dump to make this sub-report worthwile.
- You can mail me directly if you encounter more problems.

Things I Found
Here are a few things I found while running this.
- The documentation says to expect pages_full.xml.bz2 as the filename, but WikiCountsInput.pl looks for en-latest-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2, this had to be changed on line 216
- Getting Ploticus to work was a pain. Building it from source required the X11 library, which isn't available on most dedicated webservers, so it won't compile. The RPM package points to a domain that doesn't exist and the prebuilt binary was built with libpng-1.0.12, which is hard to find. After digging, I found I could find it here.

Other things someone else found
- It appears that grey.gif should be named greybar.gif
Stats for dewikiversity out of date
The last statistic for dewikiversity is out of date (July 2006). A wikiversity user asked me to check. Is there a chance to update wikiversity after the relaunch on a regular base now? Thanks. --Raymond de 13:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Wikiversity is a separate project now. Like with wiktionary, wikisources etc this means a number of updates to the wikistats scripts. I was already planning to do so, possibly it will have to wait till late December when I have more free time. Erik Zachte 14:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Delay
How long is the delay or the duration before an statistic appears in the stats.wikimedia.org on Lithuanian Wiktionary? It hasn't been updated since September. --Vpovilaitis apt. 19:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
source code
The source code is not longer available at [1]. Could the source code be made available again so it can be used and improved on other projects. John Vandenberg 10:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
