- Namespace Edits and Pages Created now include pages in all namespaces and pages that have been deleted.  The plots for these metrics generally show a step up.  On wikis where most of activity occurs on pages other than in namespace '0' (like Meta and Commons), you can see a dramatic difference in the data [2].

I just spoke to Kevin about this and there may be a disconnect around this.

For edits and pages created, it's important for us to be able to separate out main namespace edits and pages created from all other namespaces.  Actual content creation happens on the main namespace, so lumping all namespaces together actually reduces visibility into content creation.
