Last week, we had a Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020 event. see here for full details https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wikisource_Proofreadthon_2020 Though I did not participate in this event, (feels sad for this. Life is too messy nowadays), I thought to build a small tool to give report on any wikipedia user’s contribution on a given wikisite for a given date range. It may help to calculate, measure, decide on the contributions for such competitions. Mediawiki has a good API to fetch user contributions. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Usercontribs Get all edits by a user. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/API:Usercontribs For my wonder, there was a sample python code on the same page. The code gave only 500 results. I wrote a loop to get the data batch by batch till all the data is received. Published the tool here – https://github.com/tshrinivasan/wiki_user_contributions_report How to run? python3 get_user_contributions.py <language> <wikisite> <username> <start_date> <end_date> This will give the data as a CSV file. Used a csv-to-html converter utility to convert this to a web page with all the data in a sortable table. For my wonder, my friend Dinesh Karthik, converted this as a nice web application with flask, dash and hosted in heroku. https://wiki-user-contributions.herokuapp.com/ Source : https://github.com/Dineshkarthik/wiki-user-contributions Thanks to Info-farmer for providing the idea, Bartosz Dziewoński on wikipedia mailing list for answering all my questions, Dinesh for making a web application quickly. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l is a good place to ask any tech questions regarding wikipedia. Thanks to all wikisource contributors for the event and in general. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get Free Tamil Ebooks for Android, iOS, Kindle, Computer : http://FreeTamilEbooks.com _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Affiliations Committee" group.
