Hi there Wikimetrics fans,

I wanted to get some input on a proposal to add a "pages edited" metric to Wikimetrics (see this story). 

This was proposed because "Articles Improved" is one of the new Grantmaking Global Metrics, 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
