Page Collection Report

This tool helps you to generate a clear and comprehensive report on specific collections of Wikimedia pages. It compiles and displays data from chosen pages so that users can efficiently examine and interpret information.

Project status: actively maintained

Basic functionality

Page Collection Report is intended for use by Wikimedia editors, researchers or anyalysts. It is meant to help combine information from several Wikimedia pages into an organized report and helps them ensure that important pages are not missing.

Page Collection Report uses a list of target pages to extract important information, and organizes it in a way that is easy to read. This makes it easier to analyze contents, revisions and essential metrics across several pages. For more details about the technical implementation, see the developer documentation.

What Page Collection Report does not do

This tool cannot edit Wikimedia pages or automatically complete missing pages, it does not have real-time data updates and it cannot process pages with restrictive access like those requiring authentication unless proper credentials are provided. Also, it does not work as a search engine and cannot handle non-wikimedia content.

Prerequisites

Before using this tool, you should be familiar with the basics of Wikimedia projects and have access to a web browser, using common text editors, spreadsheet software, and Mac or Windows operating system. Users should have basic understanding of page collections and have access to the tool’s web interface.

Developer documentation

Technical implementation

This tool uses the Wikimedia Action API to retrieve and analyze page collections. It depends on Wikimedia and its database because it uses structured queries and API calls for fetching, organizing, and reporting on page data. Organisation and structuring: We start by defining a clear and logical architecture for the documents. For example, we can classify them by type, by project, by département. Tools and technologies: We choose the right tools to store, manage, and distribute documents. This can be a simple shared folder, document management software (DMS), or a more complex system.

Code structure
