User:FacetsOfNonStickPans/Signpost Statistics 2019

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Summary of this page:

  • This page includes a sortable list of all the 155 articles published by The Signpost in 2019 (i.e. Vol 15, Issue 1 to Issue 12) along with page views for each article until 31 December 2019.
  • The below data shows that Signpost Volume 15 articles have already crossed 465,000 views.
  • I would like to also attribute all Signpost article authors whose articles are mentioned here, as well as thank those who helped build the Pageviews and Massviews analysis tool, MusikAnimal, Kaldari and Marcel Ruiz Forns, without which compiling this data would have much harder.
  • Data from here is being used in a prospective Signpost article: User:DiplomatTesterMan/Signpost Statistics 2019 Report
  • The stats for 2019 can be found at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-03-01/Special report
  • All help and suggestions are welcome and needed.
