> This is "overall articles for all projects", correct? It's actually just for English Wikipedia. The number from the WMDE dashboard <https://wmdeanalytics.wmflabs.org/WD_percentUsageDashboard/> for all Wikipedia projects is 31.99% (i.e. the inverse of the 68.01% number provided under "% of Articles that use Wikidata" in the tinier table that aggregates each project family). It varies a lot by wiki too -- vecwiki seems to have almost every article with some form of Wikidata transclusion whereas 62% of articles on Japanese Wikipedia don't have a single Wikidata-based template. This data was only recently added there (see T257962 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257962>). > How is this calculated? > Do you have your selects to group by "importance" using wbc_entity_usage? Wikidata description usage isn't tracked on wbc_entity_usage as far as I can tell so can't be queried in any straightforward way. The way I reached the 54% number is that I checked each article in my sample to see whether the description was from Wikidata using the gadget mentioned here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Short_description#Making_it_visible_in_the_page>. On enwiki at least, Wikidata is the default unless there is a short description provided on the page, which supposedly is tracked by this category <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_with_short_description> (which is how I verified this number -- you can see that the category has 2.1M pages in it, so about 1/3 of articles overwrite the Wikidata description). That said, maybe 10-20% of articles that used Wikidata didn't actually show a description because it hadn't been added in Wikidata yet. > And, forgot to say, THIS IS SUPER USEFUL, thanks! Thanks!!
