Stats much lower across the board after June 30, 2014
Hi, and as many others have said, thanks for the great page view counts. I've noticed that the page views across the board went down by as much as 90 percent, all right after June 30, 2014 (pick any major page, John Paul II, John Kennedy, etc.) and check the view count. Just wondering if you knew, or if there is a bug in the system somewhere. Thanks. Randy Kryn 10:21 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * My observations: Between Friday, July 24, 2014, and Saturday, July 25, 2014, the reported page views for the entire month of June 2014 increased. I have several screen shots of graphs from Friday July 24 that show different traffic statistics for June 2014 than the tool reports today. If you view the 90-day history, for many (all?) pages you'll see a block of increased traffic from June 1 to June 30, 2014. (The pattern for John Paul II is less regular, with a huge spike in the middle.) Within a page, the increase in the report does not appear to be consistent day to day in an absolute or relative sense, but more highly trafficked pages show greater increases. I suspect a bug in this very helpful tool! E.Thorsos (talk) 14:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and you're right, there is a large spike of days on a 90 day scan. Since it went back to 'normal' the bug may have either been caught or flew out the window. Good observation. Randy Kryn 15:00 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Randy Kryn, the issue appears to have been fixed; the spike no longer appears in the data. Thanks to the fixer! 152.3.43.200 (talk) 14:36, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Indeed, a problem in a data compaction processing step caused this. I reverted to uncompacted data while I'm investigating it. henrik •talk  20:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Time ranges
I know that [https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiviewstats/? wikiviewstats] uses stats from 23:00 to 22:59 (UTC) rather than 00:00 to 23:59. Now it seems that stats.grok.se/en is synchronous with wikiviewstats. Has stats.grok.se/en switched to the odd time ranges.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:48, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Tony. The time stamps comes from the file names in the data dumps - I haven't switched it to process from 23:00-22:59, it still processes 00:00-23.59. But perhaps the datadumps or wikiviewstats has changed? henrik •talk  20:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Your code may be the same as before, but the results are now that you are producing totals from 23:00-22:59. Start looking at pages that have spikes or dips in the 23:00-23:59 hour compared to the day before or day after. This was noticeable most recently at Misty Copeland earlier this month when she had a two-hour pageview spike upon being named ABC World News person of the week. It happened to me on another article earlier this year and I was a bit puzzled. Now, I am certain that your data matches theirs, which is clearly on a 23:00-22:59 cycle. The final hour of the wikiviewstats data are usually available at between 23:35-23:50, meaning they were likely for the 22:00-22:59 hour. Your data now matches theirs. Regardless of whether you changed your code to match theirs on purpose, your resulting data now matches theirs.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:26, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

phantom stats?
Hi Henrik. Thanks for all your work. I created a page on 10 August 2014‎ and it's showing 90 days of views. I wondered if you had any comment. Cheers. Spicemix (talk) 13:36, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * It may be because it was a redlink earlier and people tried accessing it anyway? I don't know really, it's not uncommon for non-existing pages to get hits, but that was unusually many. henrik •talk  20:50, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Interesting insight, thanks very much. There were a couple of redlinks that I know of. Spicemix (talk) 11:11, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

stats.grok.se for Wikimedia RU website
Hello, Henrik!

We are working on development of the website of Russian Wikimedia chapter now and are thinking hard about all possibilities of traffic analysis. The site is located on WMF servers - Заглавная_страница, that's why the only way to get info is to parse data of WMF. WMF already agreed to provide some statistics to us starting from August but it's quite limited and requires individual work of WMF developers. So, the question is the following: is it possible to include analysis of our website to stats.grok.se? The information about it is already present in that GBs of raw data but the only way to get it is your tool. Best regards, Rubin16 (talk) 13:28, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

stats.grok.se
Hi Henrik,

Many thanks for the tool of page views! It would be more useful if it were case-sensitive for Wiktionary projects. For example, Anglais and anglais are not the same pages. Thanks for your attention! Automatik (talk) 03:38, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Two consecutive days of partial data
I have started a thread at Village_pump_(technical) for the following issue: Based on the raw data at the Wikimedia data dumps, it seems that in the August 27 15-16:00 and 19-20:00 hours the pageview totals at pagecounts-20140827-160001.gz and pagecounts-20140827-200000.gz are only a fraction of the actual page views. On August 28, we had a second consecutive day of partially missing data: pagecounts-20140828-170000.gz - pagecounts-20140828-200000.gz are entirely missing and pagecounts-20140828-210000.gz seems to be about 2/3rds of the normal size.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Article traffic statistics: label vertical axis?
A small suggestion. How about labelling the vertical axis of your nice graph as "views per day", to make it a bit more obvious that the numbers there always have the same meaning regardless of the selection of last 30/60/90 days? (don't they?) Thanks! Layzeeboi (talk) 01:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Page View Statistics problem?
Hello, When I click on "Page View Statistics" (under Page Information/External Tools) for any article, I get the response, "internal server error." Any ideas? Thanks, -Classicfilms (talk) 19:19, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Page View statistics
The new view is better than old in my opinion. The facility to see the trends for last 90 days is also good. Can that facility be restored? Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 05:52, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Don't know anything about the "new view" but the ability to see the last 90 days is critical. Hope makes it to the final version. --TuCove (talk) 07:49, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Just letting you know that stats.grok.se fails and gives the "internal server error" every time :/ Anything wrong? --TuCove (talk) 07:47, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Page Views Statistics - No stats after the 16th of September
Liked the new version in appearance, however there seem to be no stats available after the 16th of September.Graham1973 (talk) 23:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Further to what I posted above. The page Serenade in E-flat major (Saint-Saëns) was created on the 23rd of September 2014. However the page view stats show that it was viewed 36 times on the 16th of September. Obviously there is a glitch with the datafiles. Graham1973 (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I may have figured out what is happening, for some reason pages created during the period the Page View system was being updated are displaying current stats but with dates before the update took place (eg The page Piano Quartet (Carmichael) was created on 20 September 2014 and has been active for four days. The page view stats are dated 14 through 18 September. Hopefully this can be resolved before the end of the month.Graham1973 (talk) 02:19, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

"Internal server error" figured out, but still some bugs
I've discovered that the "internal server error" results from a change in the URL for the stats: Instead of the original address of http://stats.grok.se/(language code)/201409/(title of article), the new address is http://stats-classic.grok.se/(language code)/201409/(title of article). Just checking a few articles, I find that accessing the stats through the link in the history page will work (at least in the Arabic and English pages), as the link automatically goes to the new address --- however, the link in the history pages of the Polish pages still goes to the old address, resulting in an "internal server error" message. See, for example the page for "Warszawa" in the Polish WP: clicking on the Historia i autorzy tab, and then clicking on the link "Statystyka oglądalności strony" (pageview statistics) link, one is directed to http://stats.grok.se/pl/201409/Warszawa, which results in an "internal server error message". However, if one manually modifies that old address to http://stats-classic.grok.se/pl/201409/Warszawa, one gets the correct stats page. Perhaps it would be a good idea to check the other language pages and update as necessary.--Akhooha (talk) 16:13, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Henrik rarely edits here but a user figured out that http://stats-classic.grok.se currently works and changed the link in the English Wikipedia.[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Histlegend&diff=626815892&oldid=619852969] I don't know the respective futures of http://stats.grok.se and http://stats-classic.grok.se but for now, an admin at the Polish Wikipedia could make the same change at pl:MediaWiki:Histlegend. I don't know Polish and am not an admin there but maybe you could make a request. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:14, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * http://stats.grok.se works again so I have reverted the change at the English Wikipedia. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Does stats.grok.se make any difference between real users and bots ?

Thanks so much Henrik for the new traffic stats. The scope across languages and back in time is really impressive.

Maybe you know about this point: a while ago the Contributors stats link disappeared from the top of the Revision History pages and is now hidden at the bottom of Number of Watchers. Would it be a good idea to restore it to Revision History? Thanks again! Spicemix (talk) 19:03, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Request to fetch page views before movie release date
Hi,

I am pursuing my Masters in Software Engineering in San Jose State University(SJSU). I have enrolled for Data and Web mining course in SJSU. My team have selected project to predict the success of a movie, for whihc we would like to take into account, number of times he movie's wiki page was viewed before its release. We would require these stats for current as well as old movies(movie released 4/5 years before). Can we get an API for this task?

It would be really kind of you, if you can guide us in this step of data extraction.

Department of Orthopaedics at the Massachusetts General Hospital
Dear Mr. Henrik, For a research project at the Department of Orthopaedics at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, we are using wikipedia pagecount files, generated by stas.grok.se. We have downloaded data from 2007 until 2014 and summed up the entries of the pagecount files. We are interested in various medical conditions that we have selected. We have plotted those specific data in graphs to see if there are certain trends. During this process we discovered a gap in 2011 we cannot explain. After the gap the views per diagnosis (per amount of time) increases significantly. Our question: was there a changes of registration during 2011 that explain this increase of page visits? I tried to add 2 examples of those graphs to this writing but i did not succeed in that (i can send them by email if needed). Thank you for your time and we are looking forward to hear from you soon, Kinds regards, Teun Teunis, MD Rinne Marijn Peters, BSc rmpeters@mgh.harvard.edu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rinnepeters (talk • contribs) 23:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear User:Nemo_bis|Nemo, Thanks for your reaction. Examples of such articles are: radius fracture (english page) and rsi (=repetitive strain injury) (english page). We've plotted them in a graph but i'm not sure if i have uploaded them in the right way.

The timeframe is between August 2011 and February 2012. I can send you the graphs by email if you are not able to see them.

Kind regards, Rinne Peters

 * 2) in any page (e.g. http://stats.grok.se/it.voy/latest30/Bulgaria) if you click on "go" to make a research, it brings you by default to wikipedia results instead of the current wiki-project (the one specified in the URL).
 * 3) in the same page, if you click on "Bulgaria link" instead of reaching it:voy it returns an error because the link is malformed

Question about stats.grok.se
Dear Henrik,

Currently, we are conducting research to the interest in World War II. The website stats.grok.se is very useful for us since it reveals the number of views of pages which are related to WWII. However, we have one question. We have noticed that the number of the ranking remains the same. For example:

World war II has been viewed 583130 times in 201409. This article ranked 107 in traffic on en.wikipedia.org. and World war II has been viewed 698924 times in 201402. This article ranked 107 in traffic on en.wikipedia.org.

As you can see, the article remains on 107 in the ranking. On what is this ranking based? The current ranking? Or, the ranking in the whole year?

Kind regards,

Caroline

Help for Wiki Page views
Hi Henrik,

I am Akshit (Co-Founder of Wibe) and we are trying to build a platform which provides information with the power of videos.

So to back it up we are recommending articles on it and want the page views but when we hit on your website it takes around 9-10 sec. to get results back, can you please tell us any better solution or can you provide us the final page views for every article so that we can run our query on it.

If you can help us in it then we will be very thankful to you.

http://stats.grok.se vs https://tools.wmflabs.org
Hi, Henrik. I have 2 questions according the tool.


 * 1) I`ve noticed that statistic http://stats.grok.se and https://tools.wmflabs.org gives different resaults. For example an article "uk:Україна" during November, 2014 was visited 49182 times but according to http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitrends/ukrainian-most-visited-this-month.html it was 50 413. Also different resaults are reached if summarize the stats from http://stats.grok.se month-by-mobnth or take from https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikitrends/2014.html (see some of my calculations at uk:Вікіпедія:Проект:Популярність/Списки популярних статей/2014) Why it differs? --A1 (talk) 14:04, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Does your statistic include visitors who comes through redirect pages? For example during December, 2014 the page uk:Список загиблих учасників Євромайдану was visited 840 times while uk:Небесна_сотня - 7754 times. uk:Список загиблих учасників Євромайдану redirects to uk:Небесна_сотня.

Statistics available?
Hi Henrik -- I'm writing because I understand you maintain some statistics about page counts. I'm trying to find out some statistics about the following: User searches for say "fbi", is redirected to "Federal Bureau of Investigation", then clicks on "FBI (disambiguation)" -- that is, searches for a particular abbreviation, gets an expanded name, then clicks on the abbreviation disambiguation page. Do you know how I might find such statistics? Many thanks. 82.69.229.22 (talk) 14:59, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Each page has its own set of page-view stats. At the top of the Federal Bureau of Investigation article is a link to the article history. The page-view stats can be found there. If you came from the redirect FBI or fbi, there will be a link to the redirect-page itself near the top of the article. If you click that link, you can check the stats for the redirect page.


 * If you want to know how many people are viewing the article in total, look in the left-hand column for a link that says "what links here." This will show all of the redirect pages, and then you'll need to check each page's history and add them up. Zaereth (talk) 18:59, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Zaereth, many thanks for your suggestion. But I don't think it's what I'm looking for, as I can't see how they differentiate page views from different referrers.  If we see that "FBI (dis)" has 1000 page hits, perhaps 100 came from the hatnote link at "Federal Bureau of Investigation", and of those perhaps 10 came from the redirect at "FBI".  This 10 would be a measure of how many people searched for FBI but didn't want Federal Bureau of Investigation.  That's the kind of statistic I'm trying to find.  Thanks for any further suggestions.  Kind regards.  82.69.229.22 (talk) 13:28, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * It is impossible to tell who came from where, because the stats only record "hits." You can do a bit of extrapolating, but there is no way to be 100% sure. For example, the page "FBI" gets an average of ~ 600 hits per day. The page "Federal Bureau of Investigation" gets an average of ~ 1600 hits a day, so that is roughly an average of 2200 people viewing the article (from just those two pages). The page "FBI (dis)" gets an average of ~ 15 hits per day, and it is a good bet that nearly all of them came from the "Federal" article (but no way to know how those 15 people arrived at that article, due to there being so many redirects to it.) Zaereth (talk) 18:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I might also add that the stats do not distinguish between individual users, bots, web-crawlers, etc... In some instances, the same user could have come back tens or hundreds of times. Nor do they show how many people actually read the article. (See: User:Zaereth/Writing tips for the amateur writer for more information. Zaereth (talk) 22:49, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * While I'm sure you're right in this example case, it's exactly this inference I'm trying to get some statistics to illuminate. Thanks for your interest. Kind regards, 82.69.229.22 (talk) 11:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Idea: Ranking for MISSING articles
Hi Henrik

Just used your tool for the very first time... great. And I also recognized it shows the hits/count for articles BEFORE their creation.

Wikipedia is all about Relevance of content...

Wouldn't it be great to have a ranking of MISSING articles. Should be easy to implement? Can you please provide?

Thank you very much --212.43.69.61 (talk) 14:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

January 27 data not compiled

You have caught up on all stat pageviews for english WP except January 27.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the announcement of stats resumption, Tony. Are the stats reports REALLY the responsibility of just one technician? Wouldn't it be possible to recruit a couple other technicians to step in whenever problems arise in reporting? With all the resources available to WP and the tens of thousands of volunteers who've got the technical knowledge necessary to perform this task (and I don't think it's rocket science), isn't it possible that least one other person could share this responsibility? --Akhooha (talk) 18:08, 16 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't know to what extent the WMF is involved, if at all, but I'm pretty sure that Henrik is just a regular editor like the rest of us. He (she?) just happened to write a program that allows us to see the page views. Before people get too demanding of him, I think it's important to realize that Henrik created this wonderful tool on his own time, and, like the rest of us, he probably has a real life that gets in the way of monitoring it daily or promptly responding to everyone's requests. Personally, I have to admire and respect him for all he has done, regardless of occasional bugs. (To me, rocket science seems like a piece of cake compared to this programming stuff.)

Stats-classic.grok.se won't have old data - could this be fixed? (I asked this back in May, but a bot moved it)
I did read your message back in May, but I prefer the classic version (it's better than the new one), used it since January 2012 when you redesigned your tool, as the current one takes so long to load. I love checking historical stats, and the articles' 2010 rankings. (I forgot to ask you to keep the 2010 most viewed pages when I asked in May.)

I feel like the code changes in May made the classic version misleading for a few reasons:
 * The old data used to have 2010 rankings until April (after the 201403 rankings were released on stats.grok.se), which I find useful as the 201401 rankings have glitches, misleading people.
 * On the homepage of stats-classic.grok.se, the links point to 200712 data, and it would appear as 0 pageviews, that make viewers go, "What? There can't be zero!" There are a few other pages that link to this classic model to a month were stats are not available. For all articles for December 2013 and previous data, I feel like users would be wondering that the article actually has no pageviews, while I'm certain there would be some.
 * You have to scroll to the right to get the number of pageviews.
 * 201401 doesn't count data for the 6th and 7th.

I do not mind if rankings are outdated - it's fine if they're old - I was checking rankings of articles with over 64000 pageviews in 201012, I couldn't anymore, I'm very curious of the 2010 rankings now. Could one last code change be good enough? (I realize it could take a lot of time - whenever you can, could the code change occur? Because, again, I've been angry since May because of the rankings and the old data before 201312. I waste time every day comparing the 2014 and 2010 data, putting stress on me. If you put it back to 2010, this will stop.) Additionally, the classic version is the only stats available when stats.grok.se is off by some error.

Plus, for the top 1000 list for the current stats, it's now 500 - articles repeat twice, therefore if you don't fix some issues, I'm gonna have to stop using your tool someday.

If not, is it possible that you can create a list of top 10000 articles of every month? Thanks. I'm the same user who notified you in May, I changed my username. A Great Catholic Person (talk) 21:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * , Perhaps you are not aware that Henrik is mostly inactive. He will kick start the stats if you email him (top of page under User link), but I don't know about anything else.   As you can see by this Village Pump archived thread, there has been much discussion about this elsewhere with possible alternatives asked for.  I would suggest you might have more luck with feedback if you post something about this at Village pump (technical). — Maile  (talk) 21:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Maile66, for bringing up the Village pump discussion. In the meantime, I was intrigued by your statement about Henrik that "He will kick start the stats if you email him" and that his email address is to be found at "top of page under User link". I could find no "User link" at the top of this page, nor at the top of his User page (nor at the bottoms or anywhere else, for that matter). How does one go about emailing Henrik? Thanks for your attention.--Akhooha (talk) 01:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess I have to ask what Skin you're using from your "Preferences"? I have Modern, but the options for you should be the same anyway. At the very top of this talk page, I have links for "User Page", "Talk", "Edit This Page", "New Section",  "Wikilov", "User", "Page" and some other things.  Under "User", I get a drop-down box that has many items.  Among the items in the drop-down box is "Email user".  If you click on that, it takes you to a form to send Henrik an email. — Maile  (talk) 02:01, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick reply. I was using the default "skin" (Vector) and there was no "User" option as you described. I switched to "Modern", and the only options available on that "skin" are User page, Talk, Edit this page, New section, History, Move, Unwatch, and WikiLove --- no "User". Perhaps you've got some sort of higher class user status that gives you that option. I don't have it. Thank you.--Akhooha (talk) 02:29, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't have any higher status of anything. Keep playing around with it and looking under the drop down menus. If you can't find it, please post at the Village Pump for assistance. — Maile  (talk) 12:18, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your assistance. None of the options at the top of the page produce any drop down menus, BUT I did find the "Email this user" option --- it shows up listed in a box on the left side of the page labelled "Tools", which include the following:


 * Tools:
 * What links here, Related changes, User contributions, Logs, Email this user, Upload ::::::file, Special pages, Permanent link, Page information.


 * It's interesting how the format of your page differs so much from the way it appears on ::::::my page. In any case, I've located the option and I thank you for your help.--Akhooha (talk) 23:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. Check your Preferences/Gadgets/Appearance section. I have a little box checked that says, "Add Page and User dropdown menus to the toolbar with links to common tasks, analytic tools and logs. Supports Vector (documentation), and Monobook / Modern skins (documentation)".  Maybe that's the difference. — Maile  (talk) 23:44, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The stats pages are, I feel, an important work. They generate revealing demographic data, and so have an intrinsic value.  More importantly, they are like an editor's paycheck, because it's the only way to know that others are actually seeing the results of the time invested and effort expended in so many articles. The view counts offer a sense of reward, providing a gratifying incentive to editors, and are therefore valuable to Wikipedia.  They should be made more consistently available from week to week, and should never disappear for more than a day or two because they are always missed.JGabbard (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

mistake in traffic stats
Hey!

I found a mistake in the traffic stats:

http://stats.grok.se/de/200806/Sturm

Line 268 with

" line1 = [['2008-06-21 10 AM'" etc.

has the date "['2008-06-31 10 AM', 141" which is supposed to be July 1st and therefore not in this month statistic. July 1st is missing in the stats for July, though.

The problem occurs only for year 2008, but for every other statistic i´ve seen as well.

 * The stats count every "hit." That is, every time someone hits a button that leads to the article, even if the article does not yet exist. Yes, that includes the creator. That's not to say there aren't backdoors, such as redirect pages. Redirects have their own stats. I'm not sure about others, like piped links directly to a certain section.

location data?
Hello Henrik, Great stuff here! I was wondering if it's possible to capture any other data off the page views, for instance where they are coming from? Either a base location for the user or a general country-level location for the ip or something.

Thanks, 23.25.124.122 (talk) 13:02, 21 April 2015 (UTC)Seth


 * Dear Seth, no, it's not possible. I added a What about referrers and locations? FAQ entry with more information. --Nemo 07:29, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

High-five for the Wikipedia article traffic statistics tool
Hey, wanted to send a big hug from here for this fabulous tool called "Wikipedia article traffic statistics" that you have built. It helps me so much to keep track of articles I edit on Wikipedia and coordinating work of others I touchbase in outreach. However, this tool does not list the Oriya language. Could you please add this to the tool so many like me will be benefited? --Psubhashish (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Question
Hi Henrik. I was wondering, when would http://stats.grok.se/he/top be updated with the March 2015 data ? (I hope that I am sending this message to the right person) WikiJunkie (talk) 19:50, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

May 9 stat missing
May 10 stats are available, but May 9 stats are not at http://stats.grok.se.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:20, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Henrik,

The page view statistics for May 9, 2015 are missing. MC Potbelly (talk) 11:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)Anthony Oertel


 * Hi, any update on the missing 9 May 2015 data? Will it be corrected?--Wolbo (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Now, May 9, 24 and 25 are missing.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:35, 26 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I did email Henrik earlier today about this. Not expecting a direct reply to the email.  However, I also see no stats for the missing days. — Maile  (talk) 18:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 9th still missing and no stats since the 23rd.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:51, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Data not showing up
Hi, sorry to bother, but it seems that the graphs at stats.grok.se stopped reflecting info since May 24th. As an example I'll show you this link. Is this a graph or a data problem? Hope it can be fixed. Thanks a lot! --3BRBS (talk) 23:17, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
I'll miss the stats page, but I'm not here to request a fix or that you continue to maintain it. Instead, I just wanted to say thank you for providing the tool for as long as you did, and for your contributions overall. Cheers! 16:22, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

The stats don't work anymore

 * same here, no more stats available since May 23 ?  --Foreign Species (talk) 12:46, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Hallo Henrik, perhaps you can give me an answer, why the statistic of pageviews ends at 2015/5/23. Thanks and best regards. 79.247.226.173 (talk) 09:38, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * NOT to be just a... complaining voice but I too have noticed [the] problem e.g. here since the 23rd. It is a much appreciated service that the stats provide. I've looked at doing Flattr to thank you more concretely [but haven't come to want to sign up for it]. I hope you're not overwhelmed. Do you need help? Just checking. [Hopefully just a great vacation!] Thanks again (I think I've thanked you in the past). 14:44 I've pursued this a little further here. Swliv (talk) 15:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Henrik hasn't edited Wikipedia since August 2014, so an answer might not be forthcoming. I hope someone with appropriate tech knowledge sorts out the problem though, as having no pageview stats available for any Wikipedia page after 23 May leaves a small hole in my editing experience. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello! I'm also missing the stats data and I'm willing to offer help on bringing it back online.  Does anyone know what are the current issues causing the recent stats not to be generated? &mdash; Dsimic (talk | contribs) 04:38, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Thankfully, stats are back. What about next time, all?
To (where I first commented in the recent round),,  and , we're back. But you seem to know the most about the history here. Do you have any suggestions where to refer this kind of attention/opportunity/anxiety? Since 'stats.grok' aren't standard Wiki pages with accompanying Talk pages -- and this is where one is referred -- there's a bit of a disconnect. Anyone else? Thanks/cheers.
