Commons analytics

Commons analytics provides data about the usage of categories and media files on Wikimedia Commons. This data is focused on categories associated with contributions from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM).

Available data

Because of data size and complexity, Commons analytics data is only available for:

• categories on the allow list
• subcategories of allowed categories, up to seven steps from the allowed category on the category tree
• media files directly associated with any of these categories or subcategories

To learn more about the underlying dataset and how to add a category to the allow list, see Commons Impact Metrics on Wikitech.
