I think this would be useful in the cohorts I track on various wikis. Especially the way you describe with the option to include or not include it in the configuration.

As a side note -- how does Wikimetrics take into account wikis that have auto patrol or pending changes enabled (for instance, a user makes an edit but it might not get approved right away)?

Thanks,

Tighe

Dear Wikimetrics users,

We want to make a change to two metrics in Wikimetrics next week but first we want to hear if you have any comments on what we're about to do.

"Edits" & "Pages Created"

Currently these metrics do not take into account pages that were deleted (archived).  For example, if yesterday I created a page, made an edit and deleted that same page, the reports would not count my created page or edit.

We plan to update these metrics to include work done on deleted pages.  The result could be slightly higher numbers in reports off these metrics.  We also plan to make this behavior configurable when creating a report - you can uncheck the default to include deleted pages.

Please comment before Tuesday September 23rd 2014.  If there are no strong objections, we will update the metrics the following Thursday.

Regards,

Kevin Leduc
