Glossary: P&E Dashboard Metrics

edit
  • Article Class: An article rating that indicates an article's maturity and improvement levels from the pageassessments API.
  • Articles Created: The number of new articles made by users in the program. You can see the list of these articles on the "Articles" tab, where both created and edited articles are listed.
  • Articles Edited: The total number of pages in tracked namespaces (by default, only mainspace) that were edited by participants in the program, showing the activity level and contribution within the start and end dates. If one page is edited multiple times, it will only contribute once to this stat.
  • Article Talk Edits (Overview): The number of Edits to the Talk: namespace, which are the talk pages for mainspace Article pages.
  • Article Views: The estimated views of each article since it was first edited, through the most recent stats update. You can use pageviews.toolforge.org to see the exact numbers.
  • Bytes Added: The amount of the “positive sum” of data/bytes changes added to the project through recorded edits. Edits that have a negative byte change don’t contribute to this stat.
  • Commons Page (Commons): The page that lists a number of media uploads to Wiki Commons.
  • Common uploads: Calculates the total number of file uploads to Wikimedia Commons, a central platform for media sharing.
  • Course Slug (Overview): The unique portion of the URL of a course page. It is created by combining the school (aka "Institution"), title, and term (aka "When") fields, to take a form like "Institution/Title_(When)". Most events on the Programs & Events Dashboard only include the institution and title so that they will take the form "Institution/Title".
  • Diff (Edits): The revision ID in MediaWiki, also known as `diff ID`, which can be used to fetch the contents of the article at that revision, or the "diff", ie, the difference between that revision and the previous (parent) revision.
  • Draft Space Bytes Added (Editors): The amount of data/bytes added to the Draft: namespace.
  • Edit Counts: The total number of edits made by participants to Wikipedia articles or other Wikimedia projects within the start and end dates of a particular project.
  • Editors: The count of editors added to the program's cohort, either through self-sign-up or enrollment by the program organizer.
  • Enrolment Timestamp (Editors): The specific record in time when an editor enrolled in a program or event.
  • File name (Commons): The unique name assigned to a media file uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
  • Global ID (Editors): The global ID for a user's Wikimedia account. Users can log in to any Wikimedia wiki using the same account, but each account has an independent ID for each wiki. The global ID, also known as CentralAuth ID, is for the user's global account on meta.wikimedia.org, providing login capabilities to all other wikis.
  • Institution (Overview): The organization or educational entity that is involved in organizing the events/programs on the dashboard.
  • Mainspace Bytes Added (Editors): The amount of data/bytes added to the main namespace.
  • Mainspace Edits (Overview): The number of Edits to the main namespace.
  • Namespaces: A set of Wikipedia pages whose names begin with a particular reserved word recognized by the MediaWiki software. It is followed by a colon, (e.g.: in the user namespace all titles begin with the prefix User:). The dashboard tracks contributions made to specific namespaces you can set each namespace you want to count towards the statistics by adding it to the “Tracked Namespaces” in the Details section of a program page, and if your program has already ended you can use the “Schedule Data Update” button to add it to queue to regenerate the statistics with the new namespaces. By default, the Dashboard will still just track mainspace edits for each tracked wiki that doesn’t have a Tracked Namespaces entry.
  • Page ID (Revisions): A unique identifier given to a specific page on a wiki.
  • Pages Edited: The number of all types of pages on a Wikimedia project that have been modified.
  • Page Views: The number of requests for the content of a webpage.
  • Page Views Link (Articles): The URL that indicates the page views metric of a particular article.
  • Ratings (Articles): The actual rating of the current version of an article, such as Stub, Start, Good Article, and so on, typically indicated on the Talk page of the article and fetched via the page assessments API. This kind of rating is what the article quality machine learning model attempts to estimate.
  • Recent Edits: The number of edits made by a particular editor in the past 7 days.
  • References Added: Shows how many reference tags are added to articles, including when several references come from the same source.
  • Registered During Project (Editors): The number of editors that registered while the project/program was ongoing.
  • Revision ID (Revisions): A unique identifier assigned to a specific revision of a page or article on a wiki.
  • Revisions during project (Editors): The count of revisions made to articles or pages during the duration of a particular project.
  • Term (Overview): One of the three fields that contribute to the slug of a course/event page. "Term" refers to the academic term that a course takes place in (eg, Spring 2024). On the Programs & Events Dashboard, this is labeled "When" in the Edit Details interface, but it's not included at all in the default Course Creator interface, so most Program and Event Dashboard courses do not have a value for this.
  • Timestamp: A digital record of the time a particular activity on the dashboard occurred.
  • Total Revisions: The total number of reviews and feedback given.
  • Training Completion Rate (Overview): The portion of editors who are up to date with the trainings assigned via the Timeline. This does not apply to most Program & Event Dashboard events, which do not use the Timeline and have no assigned training modules.
  • Upload usage count across all wikis (Overview): The number of media file uploads such as images or other content used across all wikis.
  • URL (Articles): The unique web address linked to individual articles.
  • Usage count (Commons): The number of uploaded files to Commons that have been used within the duration of the event/program.
  • Userspace Bytes Added (Editors): The amount of data/bytes added to the User: namespace.
  • Userspace Edits (Overview): The number of Edits to the User: namespace, including user pages and sandboxes.
  • Words Added: The estimated total amount of content a user has added to live articles, userspace pages (sandboxes), and the Draft namespace. Word count estimates are calculated from the sum of changes in page size across all edits that are added more than they are removed. This number doesn’t necessarily reflect the amount of new content the user added. Restoring removed content will also increase this total.
  • WP10 (Revisions): The estimate of the quality of an article that comes from the Wikimedia `article quality` machine learning model, converted to a 0-100 scale. For English Wikipedia, 0 represents a "stub", and 100 represents a "Featured Article". It's called wp10 because the initial version of this model was designed to predict the rating assigned to the article as part of the "Wikipedia 1.0" assessment system, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_assessment
  • WP10 Previous (Revisions): The WP10 score of the "parent" revision. The difference between the revision's score and its parent provides an automated estimate of how much that revision increased or decreased the quality of the article.
