One last question - do you plan to replace this metric in particular in
the new version? I haven't found that specific information anywhere you've
linked.
I'm sorry Anne, I totally missed the point there with my long reply.
*Articles per language per population*: we will definitely track total
articles per wiki project and total overall articles, both de-duplicated by
wikidata ID and overall (eventually). And we plan to offer a more advanced
interface where you can divide one metric by another, so you can get "per
population" graphed. We didn't spell this out in the design document but
if you click on the navigation model [1] and zoom in you'll see *Content*
-> Total Articles and that's what we're planning to do there.
*Edits per user*: I think you might mean edits per country from your
context, but just in case, we will be tracking edits per user in different
ways under the *Contributing* section. Active Editors specifically will
have more breakdowns and ways to see the data than wikistats does currently.
*Edits per country*: We had trouble with this metric at the monthly
granularity for privacy reasons. We found potential attacks that could
de-anonymize individual editors' locations. Since this is data we value
greatly, we took care to fuzz the numbers and make this very unlikely. We
have new data sanitizing ideas that we're going to work on next quarter
because many people could use this kind of data. For internal WMF staff,
we have geowiki which has all these numbers [2]. I'm sorry if I haven't
told you about this before, Anne, it definitely seems relevant to your
work, let me know if you need help accessing it.
