  • Editor & article edit activity as horizon charts.

Using Categories to narrow an editors interest

[edit]
  • Using the categories on an edited page to understand the broad interests of an editor.

Todo

[edit]
  • In the monthly activity by value/percentage graphs or other stacked bar graphs show the selection separately.

  • Normalize the axes for all the graphs, show the same X & Y on the respective axes.

Bugs

[edit]
  • The cohort & the month is getting mixed up on the monthly activity graphs.
