Talk:Badge Statistics

Would it be possible to extract data for how many cachers have got addons for each badge? It would probably have to be done as a separate table. Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 14:36, 26 February 2020 (CET)

• Yes, it was actually my plan. I wrote the tool to output the current wiki-version while watching TV-series yesterday. Maybe I will get some time to create an Addon table later today. I have also considered adding percents somehow. I would also be interested in Diamond-loops, but not sure how to do it, maybe use 1-9,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,99, but that sounds a bit too wide. Ideas are always welcome, just don't spend too much time on formatting. As you probably understand, the current data is an output from a program, so I will replace the whole page each time I run it.
• I'll be updating this today, with numbers per Addon. The current data is based on >26,000 profiles. Since the requirements has been updated I will create the next report based on data rendered today only, so the data-set will be much smaller.

Bot-updated

Category:Bot-updated should be added to this page per the information on the category-page. Pages can have multiple categories so it can still stay in BadgeGen too. Pleu (4523550) (talk) 21:39, 12 November 2020 (CET)

• It will be added on next update of the data of everything goes as planned. I made the release today, not sure which day it's scheduled to update, but within a week.

Non-applicable add-ons

In the Number of Geocachers per Badge/Addon section, is it possible for the bot to replace 0 with - for addons that aren't applicable to the badge? E.g. the lostfound add-on the the Achiever badge. Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 09:36, 3 March 2022 (CET)

It has been suggested to me before, and I agree it would look much nicer and be a lot more readable. But due to how the rule-set is stored it's quite complex. In simple terms, there is just code, there is no list of which badges can have which addon. While a list of course can be created, it will become a redundancy where it's likely that the list won't be updated. The correct approach is to let such list include references to the code somehow. But that's a bit too much work. --magma1447 (3305483) (talk) 12:11, 3 March 2022 (CET)

Thanks. It may be possible to do something using templates - I'll try something later. Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 08:07, 4 March 2022 (CET)

That would be very cool. And to not say the least, I would see it as pure magic. --magma1447 (3305483) (talk) 09:54, 4 March 2022 (CET)

I haven't forgotten about this, but other things have pushed this aside until now. I still think it should be possible, so I'll try some ideas at some point. Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 10:47, 18 September 2022 (CEST)

Beltgen statistics

Would it be possible to include BadgeGen Belts statistics as well? How many cachers have reached each level of belt? (Just asking as I've now got my top belt!) For those over 400 points, maybe a separate list for >500, >600 etc. Optimist on the run (6278087) (talk) 10:51, 18 September 2022 (CEST)

It seems quite possible actually. Trying to imagine other data that could be shown. For example number of capped users per rule (of those that can be capped). Max points earned per rule. I would probably add another Wiki page (Belt Statistics), that starts just as the existing one. The whole *Data set* section would just be a duplication. I'll try to remember to look into this next week. I imagine it would just take a few hours to get the basis in there, then I have no idea about the time the wiki formatting. There are a few things missing in the current data that makes it a bit cumbersome. For example I only have the url to the belt image, not the name itself. Similar with the points-per-rule, it's just a list, without any reference to which rule it actually is. But the order will always be the same. The best would be to produce data that describes itself more, but then I don't have the history from the last year. --magma1447 (3305483) (talk) 11:17, 18 September 2022 (CEST)

Initial version exists now, Belt_Statistics. --magma1447 (3305483) (talk) 16:56, 19 September 2022 (CEST)

GeoTour Addon

Maybe someone wants to remove the GeoTour addon which doesn't exist anymore.

Zero or unavailable?

Maybe it would be a good idea to change the zero for addons that are not possible to get to a - or similar to avoid confusion? --Pleu (4523550) (talk) 10:04, 30 August 2023 (CEST)

It's a technical issue. Too much effort for the gain, even though I agree that the gain isn't minor. It is definitely wished for, but the code and the rules aren't formatted in a useful way at the moment. --magma1447 (3305483) (talk) 10:08, 30 August 2023 (CEST)
