New statistic features
This quarter, a much awaited new statistics feature has been announced by Erik Zachte. It took a couple of weekends to get the scripts up to date for the new database format. The layout has been improved in some places, with newest statistics showing up on top, and language names in comparison tables.
- Record counts per namespace: [10]
- Percentage categorised articles (same url as above)
- Hierarchical category trees per Wikipedia (some are huge!): [11]
- Overview for wikibooks: Chapters and counts per book
EasyTimeline charts are collected for each Wikipedia language, and listed together with the script code. This may serve as a source of inspiration to help learn the syntax. This can also help find real gems on other Wikipedias that deserve to be translated. While starting a timeline from scratch is not trivial, expanding, correcting or translating an existing chart is indeed "easy."

Stats per countries

First, as I have personally felt for a long time, Wikipedia is most popular (per capita) in German-speaking countries. In Germany, for example, there were .3749 pageviews per person (for whatever time period Kate studied, a day?), as compared to .2519 in the United States. --Jimbo (sitting in Germany at the moment) CH SWITZERLAND 3257554 1.50% 7,489,370 0.434957012 DE GERMANY 30918990 14.60% 82,468,000 0.37492106 AT AUSTRIA 2597402 1.20% 8,184,691 0.317348816 FI FINLAND 1497528 0.70% 5,223,442 0.286693717 IL ISRAEL 1736050 0.80% 6,276,883 0.276578359 CA CANADA 8732647 4.10% 32,805,401 0.266195405 NL NETHERLANDS 4132982 1.90% 16,407,491 0.251896039 US UNITED STATES 67764804 31.90% 296,202,709 0.228778475 JP JAPAN 25753169 12.10% 127,333,002 0.202250545 SE SWEDEN 1814517 0.90% 9,001,774 0.201573268 SG SINGAPORE 764117 0.40% 4,425,720 0.172653715 BE BELGIUM 1762902 0.80% 10,364,388 0.170092243 NO NORWAY 758707 0.40% 4,593,041 0.165186202 AU AUSTRALIA 2927652 1.40% 20,090,437 0.145723659 UK UNITED KINGDOM 7746798 3.70% 60,441,457 0.128170272 FR FRANCE 7241067 3.40% 60,424,213 0.119837175 DK DENMARK 630803 0.30% 5,432,335 0.116120048 HK HONG KONG 779969 0.40% 6,898,686 0.113060516 PL POLAND 4327531 2.00% 38,635,144 0.112010221 PT PORTUGAL 966668 0.50% 10,566,212 0.091486713 CL CHILE 1239153 0.60% 16,136,137 0.076793659 IT ITALY 4139186 2.00% 58,103,033 0.071238725 ES SPAIN 2587800 1.20% 43,209,511 0.059889592 PE PERU 1649896 0.80% 27,925,628 0.059081787 MY MALAYSIA 880847 0.40% 23,953,136 0.036773765 AR ARGENTINA 1432035 0.70% 39,537,943 0.036219259 MX MEXICO 2594245 1.20% 106,202,903 0.024427251 PH PHILIPPINES 1674005 0.80% 87,857,473 0.019053644 BR BRAZIL 3353760 1.60% 186,112,794 0.01802004 CN CHINA 2498070 1.20% 1,306,313,812 0.001912305 IN INDIA 1400545 0.70% 1,080,264,388 0.001296484
