Hey Dan, thanks for the reminder! I'm worried there are a lot of community and GLAM tools that rely on these datasets and are not yet transitioned to the new data sources (like WikiProject popular pages https://tools.wmflabs.org/popularpages/). Is there any chance we could get a 1 month reprieve so that Community Tech could track down and fix some of these tools before the deprecation? Sorry we didn't do this earlier. We just hired a new developer though and I think this would be a good on-boarding task for them. Let me know what you think.

Just a reminder, we will be deprecating the pagecounts datasets at the end of May, as we mentioned earlier this year [0]. This means these files will remain there to be used by researchers but new files will not be generated in the future.
*Pagecounts datasets that will be deprecated*
pagecounts-raw pagecounts-all-sites
Options for switching to the new datasets [1]: pageviews for the same format but better quality data pagecounts-ez for compressed data
