[Wikimetrics] Want to test an easier way of collecting Global Metrics?

[Amanda Bittaker]

Hello all,

The Analytics team and I have been working on a tool to make calculating
global metrics easier,--would you be interested in testing it, so it's as
useful as possible to you and all program leaders? It works in
Wikimetrics, but instead of running several different reports, you just
enter the usernames, dates, and timezone and it gives you the Global Metrics.
To finalize its development, we need to know:

1) Is the tool easy to use?
2) What would make it easier to use?
3) How does it compare to your current method of collecting Global Metrics,
whether it's Wikimetrics or a different method?

If you are interested in testing it, it's still in the development
environment here https://metrics-staging.wmflabs.org/reports/program-metrics
/create/ .

Note that usernames need to be separated by carriage returns like this:
Username 1
Username 2
.
.
.

and that the "edits" metric is actually pages improved, the name just
hasn't been updated yet. You may receive a server error or the page might
not load, because Labs is having connectivity problems, but this isn't a
problem with the new tool and the Labs team is working hard to fix it.

I hope you get to test it out, and I hope you find it useful!

Many thanks,
Amanda

Thank you to the Analytics team for putting this together. The report is
useful as a summary, especially the pages edited function as WMUK are
under-reporting in this area. I don't think it would replace the other
reports as I like the ability to show individual results so if there is
something unexpected you can track it down.

Does the report expand to all wikis? Presumably the pages edited result
includes pages created but I'd like to double check this is the case.
Similarly I'm assuming the results are restricted to mainspace, but it
might be useful to have some explanatory text at the start.

Hello,

The link below is to our staging environment, which is our test ground and thus not available all the time.

We are testing some improvements there, we shall send a note when environment is back up.

Thanks,

Nuria
