German text for forgotten-pages #2

Open thparkth opened 8 years ago

thparkth commented 8 years ago

The forgotten-pages report has been updated to use "last edit time" rather than "last touched" time, since the latter has been producing unhelpful results since 2012, when apparently all pages were "touched".

The intro text and column header names for enwiki have been updated accordingly, but the report is also generated against dewiki and that text needs to be updated. Also the dewiki intro refers to a different report which doesn't appear to be regularly updated, and which is now redundant with the new functionality of forgotten-pages.

The dewiki intro was supplied by a dewiki user (see page bottom here): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:NiharikaKohli#Wikipedia:Database_reports.2FForgotten_articles

Do you want me to ask him and clarify whether that link still needs to be there?

Thank you, if you would that would be great. The report based on last edit time certainly seems to be more in line with what people are expecting (base on my reading of the dewiki discussion).

By the way, the execution time is less than an hour on enwiki, mostly because we avoid looking at pages created after December 2008 for now. Trying to run it without this heuristic in place resulted in the query being killed after four hours.

That was my reason for using Last Touched. The query was way too expensive if I used last edit time. But if we are happy with looking at pages from 2009, then that's great. On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 06:53 Andrew Crawford notifications@github.com wrote:
