Bug: incorrect cache count in Stat Compare

–1 vote
513 views

I am calling this a bug although in actual fact it is an feature enhancement request. 

In Statistics > Profile > Stat Compare the Finds count is wildly wrong.

The way to fix the bug is, of course, to include all finds (ie, include lab finds) in this one stat, or at very least to have a note added at the top that labs finds are not included in the stats on this page.

None of the top lists or tools include lab caches. The only place where lab caches are included are profile stats (if opted in), so basically your feature enhancement request applies to all the other lists and tools across the site. In case you want to update that, it wouldn't really be helpful to add the info on one tool but none of the others. :)

Sorry, Pleu, not only are you correct, you are also wrong. Stat compare does not qualify its statements, so find count should be all caches found, not just some of them. While average difficulty would only include caches that have a difficulty rating, finds should include all caches that are findable.

The way around that is to state on the page that lab caches are not included. (the better way around is to construct a different query for that stat so that it actually matches what it says)

I don't see what would be wrong with my statetment. If it's clarified that lab caches are not included in one of the tools I think it's obvious it should be clarified in all places where lab caches are not included. Otherwise people will assume they are included since "that one tool mentions they're not included there but this one doesn't mention it so they must be included here".

No, Pleu is correct. There is nothing special in that this page does not include lab cache finds. This is just like all other pages on Project-GC, except Profile Stats (which explicitly states that labs are included when that is the case). All other pages and tools are without lab caches.

This is not to say that it wouldn't be nice if labs were included, but as of right now, they are not.
