Hey everyone,
I've re-run my "big" wiki zero result rate numbers to see what has changed
in the last month. The results are here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:TJones_(WMF)/Notes/Survey_of_Zero-Resul…
Since I was only looking at the big 52 wikis (100K+ articles), the zero
results rate is under 20% (good news), but it hasn't gone down in a month
(bad news).
I looked very briefly at the full text zero results rate for the rest of
the wikis for yesterday. That zero results rate was 56.6%! Lots of hits
from wikidata and itwiki-things! There were some DOI queries, but none of
the other usual suspects.
