Jan 31, 2019: This is the final release of Wikistats-1 dump-based reports. Part of these data are available in the first release of Wikistats 2. Read more here

 

Metrics have been collected from a partial dump (aka stub dump), which contains all revisions of every article, meta data, but no page content.
Note that article and editor counts for all months are a few percent higher than when a full archive dump had been processed.
This is because no page content was available to check for internal or category links.
