Creating CSV file

A CSV file is simply a Comma Separated Value file that can be made as a text or spreadsheet file and saved in the CSV format

Wiki Metrics accepts Username or UserId and project code specifications:

Username, project

Frank Schulenburg, meta
SarahStierch, meta
JAnstee (WMF), meta

If you do not enter project code in CSV file you must enter project name in the upload cohort screen or system defaults to enwiki

Additional Notes:

Most Users Do Not Have Underscores In Their Names; If_This_Fails, try replacing underscores with spaces -> If This Fails.
Also, the system will sometimes invalidate a username if there are trailing spaces, please be sure to trim any trailing spaces (i.e. extra spaces in the text field following the username)
