Wikimedia Statistics

This article describes the original but now obsolete Wikistats project from the Wikimedia Foundation, now known as Wikistats v1.
For the independently created statistics from mutante (originally hosted at S23.org), see: Wikistats v2.2.
This Wikimedia Statistics article is
referring to a site which seems
not to be, or include, a wiki.
However, it still refers to, or is
pertinent to the subject of wikis.

Wikistats from Wikimedia Statistics is not a wiki site. It is merely a portal of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) which generates and publishes a wide variety of statistics from over 750 wiki sites of virtually all Wikimedia Foundation projects. Its primary URL is https://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 geeks 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 web site and blog too.

In January 2020, this site will be replaced with the new Wikimedia Statistics (Wikistats v2). All old Wikistats (Wikistats v1) links will be preserved except for the homepage. See details of this move in Wikitech.

Did you know?
  • Wikipedia is still by far the Wikimedia Foundations' largest project [1]
  • For the month of January 2012, the Wikipedia main site received over 15,382,000,000 page views [2]
  • During the last quarter 2011: of the 740 million people in Europe, they made 4801 million page views per month of Wikipedia; whereas for the same time-scale, of the 450 million people of North America, they made 3496 million page views. This means that Europe had 41.5% of the global share of page views, compared to just 30.2% from North America [3]

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF), founded 20 June 2003, is the wiki company and non-profit charitable organization[5] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active collaborative user-generated wiki sites, which are grouped together by primary subject and known as a 'project'; as well as the wiki engine software initially developed by themselves, known as MediaWiki. The Wikimedia Foundations' major wiki projects started with Wikipedia (encyclopedia), and subsequently expanded to include Wiktionary (dictionary and thesaurus), Wikiquote (quotations), Wikibooks (open content textbooks), Wikisource (free content primary-source and secondary-source texts), Wikinews (news source), Wikiversity (open learning community), Wikispecies (free species directory), and many others as listed below. Most of these 'projects' have separate wiki site versions written in many different languages. There is also the Wikimedia Commons (shared multilingual repository for documents, images, videos, and other media and text files), and the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (multilingual coordination of issues common to all Wikimedia projects). The Wikimedia Foundations' global reach is nurtured in its Incubator, where all new language versions for all projects are initiated and developed before being launched as a new separate wiki site. The Foundations' most recent major multi-language wiki project, Wikivoyage (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late 2012 (having being independently established in 2006). Also launched in 2012 was Wikidata (a major multilingual central space knowledge base for structured data used on all WMF projects). The newest WMF project is Wikifunctions, launched in mid 2023, is a library of code functions in many different programming languages.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, granted April 2005, and headquartered at 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco County, State of California 94104, United States of America.[6]
