Greetings,
Does anyone know of any preexisting tools to generate these types of
reports? I know it could be custom-made, but wanted to see if there was
already any work done first.

I've done a few analysis related to that sort of thing, and I do manual
datamining for it because I am generally not looking for lots of trends
across articles. (I do it a lot with my own GLAM work.) If there is a
public tool that would easily pull that up, I would also love to see it. I
just am not sure the ultimate value because some of the major news stories
get locked from editing due to vandalism, etc. which can and does skew the
potential to edit. (This happened with a dataset about Wikipedia in my
thesis when a major sporting scandal impacted the Melbourne Storm. The
article views increased but the edit count dropped hugely because only
certain editor types could edit.)
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
