Wikimedia Statistics: Difference between revisions

<div style=float:right>{{NotAWiki}}</div>'''Wikimedia Statistics''' is ''not'' a [[wiki]].  It is merely a {{tag|portal}} of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) which generates and publishes a wide variety of {{tag|statistics}} from over 750 wikis of virtually all Wikimedia Foundation projects.  Its primary URL is https://stats.Wikimedia.org.  To quote the headline from its [https://stats.Wikimedia.org/#fragment-14 about] page – ''"Enough tables, bar charts and plots to keep you busy for a while"'' – these are available in 25 different [[:Category:Wiki Language|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 [[:Category:The Netherlands|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.
