Wikipedia talk:Multilingual monthly statistics

Are these numbers suppose to be articles or edits or users or what? --24.172.195.239 15:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Could there be a number field to say how many wikis there are? also, this one lists 100 while the active languages on meta list 99. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason   15:04, 2004 Jul 29 (UTC)


 * I'll have to look into that. I haven't been following the Meta data (I wasn't aware of it), but have been keeping sharp eye open for new language wikis that become active, adding them to the list as required.  There is a link on the main page to the complete list of wikis; at semi-regular intervals I look through to see which new languages have started to function.  It's not 100 percent foolproof - I found a number of wikis that had not been bolder, which should have been.  I've corrected those that I know about - but there are probably others.


 * As for numbering the wikis, I'm not against the idea, but would find it a bit of a pain to renumber them all every time a new wiki goes online (several times a month, at the present rate). Besides, I tried to design the table to fit the screen, with twelve monthly columns.  An extra field would probably make the table too wide - but there may be ways around that.  We'll see.


 * A couple of new languages will probably be added to the list this week. I see that someone has resurrected the Serbo-Croat wikipedia (which was supposed to be disbanded when divided into its Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian components), so that will have to be added to the table, along with a couple of others.

 * Not really a number field, it could also be a number at the top, i downloaded the whole thing before and grep-ed through it to get the number of languages. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason   02:03, 2004 Jul 30 (UTC)


 * You grep-ed it? What's that?  Forgive my ignorance, but I'd like to know what that means.  It sounds like an excellent idea, at any rate. David Cannon 11:30, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

November 1st stats
I downloaded the stats for 1 November yesterday, and I have been formatting them off-line. They will be uploaded when I get home from work tonight - so please don't worry:-) David Cannon 00:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
