About this data
This page measures how emoji policies in public API documentation change over time. It tracks the ratio of sections with emoji policies and the median emoji count per policy section, revealing shifts in developer communication norms. The data is sourced from Wikidata’s 'API documentation' property, which enumerates thousands of live API docs—something no other dataset currently captures.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
While there are sources on emoji policies and API documentation tools, none track the longitudinal drift of emoji policies in public API documentation across time or platforms. The proposed topic is novel in its focus on systematic tracking of evolving developer communication norms.
Uniqueness score 0.90 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
