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!
