Regarding extracting document creation logs from Confluence.

Hi All,

 

We are planning to award the person who created the most content on Confluence at the company’s year-end awards ceremony. Is there a way to extract content creation information from this year? If so, I would appreciate it if you could kindly let me know.

Thanks.

Hi @ks_hyeon 

Since you appear to be on Confluence Standard, you'll probably have to use an app or Confluence databases (there's probably a way how to get the data thru API).

You can use Databases to list all pages in a space (here's how) and set it up so it shows what you need to, then filter.

There's a free app Pages Manager by Ricksoft that lists page owner (typically the creator) and Authors (who worked on that individual pages. But there's no Export feature.

 

Having said that... out of curiosity, what are your criteria for most content? Most pages created? Most words written? Most edits made? Most articles touched?

I'm a writer and 'most content created' is not something I'd take as a benchmark. Back in my days as a journalist, the owner of the startup wanted to 'measure' folks in our newsroom by how many articles/words they wrote. I asked him: Who's better, a junior tasked with churning out 5 articles with numbers and synonyms of up, down, unchanged every half hour, or an analyst working on in-depth analysis the whole day. The junior wins on the 'most content' metric.... And that was the end of the whole 'measuring content debate'.
