Research:GuidedTour usage

This page documents a completed research project.


In this project, we'll explore the usage of mw:Extension:GuidedTour on Wikimedia Projects.

Methods

edit

Custom guided tours can be created via pages saved in the MediaWiki namespace (ns=8) with a specific title pattern. Since this title format is enforced by the software, we can assume that any titles falling outside of this format are not actually tours.

I used the following query to extract guided tour pages created on the list of wikis with mw:Extension:GuidedTour enabled [1].

SELECT page_title FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 8 AND page_title LIKE 'Guidedtour-tour-%.js'
