< Universal Language Selector | Compact Language Links

This page describes the scripts and queries for collecting data about Interlanguage links, especially in the context of Compact Language Links. For the collected data, see the page Universal Language Selector/Compact Language Links/metrics/data.

edit

For getting information one day before, run: 

$ ssh stat1002
$ ./all_projects.sh

For a particular date, run (note: no leading zeros in the date): 

$ ./all_projects.sh 2016 7 7

The output will be in the files with names such as prev_wikipedia_2016_7_7.out and curr_wikipedia_2016_7_7.out, where "prev" is for the source language and "curr" is for target language.

Copy the results from the .out file to a text editor, and then copy them from the text editor to the relevant column in the spreadsheet.
