Wikimedia Statistics: Difference between revisions

'''Wikimedia Statistics''' is ''not'' a [[wiki]].  It is merely a portal of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} which generates and publishes a wide variety of statistics from the primary Wikimedia projects.  Its primary URL is http://stats.wikimedia.org.  To quote the headline from its 'about' page – ''"Enough tables, bar charts and plots to keep you busy for a while"'' – these are available in 25 different languages; and are produced as either interactive graphs, database dumps, log files, and raw scripts and data.  One of the main <s>geeks</s> contributors is a chap called [[Erik Zachte]] from The Netherlands (initially from 2003 a volunteer for Wikipedia, and since 2008 part of his job as Data Analyst at the Wikimedia Foundation), and as well as producing all these stats, publishes his own [http://infodisiac.com web site] and [http://infodisiac.com/blog/ blog] too.
