Description Toby Negrin 2014-11-04 20:38:26 UTC
From email:

Howie:

For edits and pages created, it's important for us to be able to separate out main namespace edits and pages created from all other namespaces.  Actual content creation happens on the main namespace, so lumping all namespaces together actually reduces visibility into content creation.

James F:

Yeah; ​I was expecting this to be using $wgContentNamespaces (which varies per wiki), rather than hard-coding​ either NS0 (which is wrong e.g. for Commons or Wikidata) or all namespaces (which as Howie says is wrong because it covers non-content work).

Aaron H:

Understood for page creations.  The metric is named "Page creations".  We ought to have a metric called "Content page creations" or "Unique content page creators".  

One bit of complication: How do you feel about the draft namespace for enwiki?  Should it be included in content page creations?
