Thank you to the Analytics team for putting this together. The report is useful as a summary, especially the pages edited function as WMUK are under-reporting in this area. I don't think it would replace the other reports as I like the ability to show individual results so if there is something unexpected you can track it down.
Does the report expand to all wikis? Presumably the pages edited result includes pages created but I'd like to double check this is the case. Similarly I'm assuming the results are restricted to mainspace, but it might be useful to have some explanatory text at the start.

Hello all,
The Analytics team and I have been working on a tool to make calculating global metrics easier,--would you be interested in testing it, so it's as useful as possible to you and all program leaders? It works in Wikimetrics, but instead of running several different reports, you just enter the usernames, dates, and timezone and it gives you the Global Metrics. To finalize its development, we need to know:
- Is the tool easy to use?
- What would make it easier to use?
- How does it compare to your current method of collecting Global Metrics,
whether it's Wikimetrics or a different method?
If you are interested in testing it, it's still in the development environment here https://metrics-staging.wmflabs.org/reports/program- metrics/create/ .
Note that usernames need to be separated by carriage returns like this: Username 1 Username 2 . . .
and that the "edits" metric is actually pages improved, the name just hasn't been updated yet. You may receive a server error or the page might not load, because Labs is having connectivity problems, but this isn't a problem with the new tool and the Labs team is working hard to fix it.
I hope you get to test it out, and I hope you find it useful!
Many thanks, Amanda Program Design & Evaluation WMF
