Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 18:44:29 @wikipedia the scale is a little misleading here, it looks like the event doubles traffic but it's actually only a ~25% increase Still way more than I would expect a single news event to influence things on such an already high-traffic website, wow! |

Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 18:48:18 @wikipedia how does this spike compare to spikes for other major world events? Do positive news events lead to larger spikes on Wikimedia then negative news events like war, or other election results? |

Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 18:52:42 @clusterfcku really good question — I'm not sure! If I had to guess, I'd say that famous deaths probably cause the largest spikes in traffic... https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson_effect is an interesting "behind the scenes" technical read on things like this :) --sf |

Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 19:34:51 Big 💜 to all the SREs keeping an eye on things — that's quite a spike! Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 21:18:55 @wikipedia I learned that I new pope was voted in by requests graphs posted by Wikipedia on mastodon. I want to get all my news this way now! |

Föderation EN Do 08.05.2025 19:36:59 This is SO cool. I love it. |
