Hey Sam!
Rough headline numbers are being run for pageviews, editors and edits globally but we will get those numbers tomorrow.

Can you run the count for everything in that category, and across all languages? Should be a good deal more!

Dear list,
Given the unfolding global events, the Wikimedia Foundations feels it is important to reassure readers across the globe.
We'll be displaying a short message at the top of the projects
reaffirming
our commitment to keep Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects online, open and free for all. Readers often turn to Wikipedia for neutral information in times of stress. This is a critical moment for students who can't go
to
school, people who have to stay home with their families, and anyone who needs a trusted source of unbiased information.
We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable work of all
the
medical contributors on Wikipedia. Thank you for keeping a close watch
and
keeping misinformation at bay. Coronavirus topics have received tens of thousands of edits by thousands of editors since the start of the
pandemic.
The article has been read more than 30 million times, in English alone.
The message will be displayed just once to readers, and you can preview
the
banner [1]. The draft is in English but we want this message to be multilingual. If you have a moment, please help translate this banner
into
your language [2]. Thank you all, for your work and efforts.
Stay safe, and wash your hands!
