Wikirage
Wikirage was a website that provided an overview of the most heavily edited articles on Wikipedia,[1] an online encyclopedia that allows almost any Internet user to edit almost all of its articles. "Editing" includes writing new articles, adding content, or deleting content. Wikirage allowed people to track the top 100 articles which were edited on Wikipedia within the last hour, day, week, or month.[2] The creation of Wikirage coincided with the English Wikipedia reaching 2 million articles and WikiScanner attaining mainstream publicity. [3]
Methodology
A summarization routine was then used to build the lists of what's "hot" on the website. These routines were run 6-10 times an hour for the data points of 1, 6, 24, and 72 hours. The summarizer analytics for weekly and monthly data were run once a day. Undo, Reversion, and Vandalism were notes that were put on the edit trail and kept track of individually. Total Edits and Unique Editors were exactly what they describe. Quality Edits is the Total Edits minus Undos and Reversions.[4]
