Hi there Wikimetrics fans,
I wanted to get some input on a proposal to add a "pages edited" metric to
Wikimetrics (see this story
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Wikimetrics/Stories#User_reports_p…>
).
This was proposed because "Articles Improved
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Number_of_articles…>"
is one of the new Grantmaking Global Metrics
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_%26_Evaluation/Global_metri…>,
and there's currently no way to get the # of pages that were edited by the
members of a cohort through Wikimetrics.
As we've scoped it, this metric would be listed along with the other
available metrics on https://metrics.wmflabs.org/metrics/. Any Wikimetrics
user would be able to run this metric for reports the same way they would
run any other--they can filter by pages edited in a particular namespace,
date range, retrieve individual and aggregate results, etc. It would also
be possible to get the # of pages edited across different projects for
CentralAuth cohorts.
What do y'all think: does this sound reasonable and useful?
Best,
Jonathan

Hi everyone,
We deployed the latest version of wikimetrics just now, and it has a new
feature. There is now a "Pick Defaults" section in the report creation
screen. This lets you set parameters that apply to more than one metric.
You still have to pick the metrics, but when you do any defaults you've
already set will be applied. If you have more questions, I can try to
help. Johnathan Morgan was the one who requested this feature, he may be
able to speak to it more as well.

Hi Wikimetricians,
An off-list question from one of my colleagues gave me an idea.
Could Wikimetrics be expanded to show total pageviews of articles and total
views of images, for entire categories and/or lists of multiple articles
starting from variable dates? This would help GLAMs and affiliates to track
the viewership of content creation that we have supported.
Or are there tools other than Wikimetrics that already make this possible?
Thanks,
Pine
