This report is a subset of the report that is already available at
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm

But it is real pain to filter and take the information of only those
languages that we want (in our case, it is Indian language wikis). In fact I
was preparing my monthly report like that only (using the above link) for
the past 3 years.

When I went to Gdansk to attend Wikimania 2010, I met Erik Zachte and we
discussed various topics related to his wonderful site and statistical
reports. During discussion, I mentioned the about the above issue with him.

This special report for Indian languages came out as a result of that
conversation with Erik. He published a post regarding this at
http://infodisiac.com/blog/2010/11/wikipedia-reports-filtered-by-region/



I am happy that he remembered my request and implemented it.

Article quality, page views, edits per article, number of active users, and
so on are part of this new report also.
