Wikimetrics has been discontinued. Since this is the main (only?) source of metrics for Wikitionary, we will make Event Metrics available for that project. At the same time, we might as well add Wikivoyage, which has the same structure as Wikipedias.
We have no time in our schedule to customize Event Metrics for any unique needs these wikis may have, so this will be an as-is implementation (meaning no customization).
I suppose adding Wiktionary might work, since it appears it is primarily based on one-word = one page. So it would fit the structure of Event Metrics. But it seems like Wikisource, with its focus on books, might be pretty different. I'm not sure what would happen if we didn't adapt the metrics significantly. Anyone have an opinion?
We talked about it briefly at T190461. In Berlin one organizer told me Event Metrics as-is (which just counts mainspace pages), is better than nothing. To fully meet their needs I think we need to capture the proofreading/validating workflows, e.g. T190461#4164708. @Samwilson I'm sure can offer some insight as well.
I think ideally we'd have Wikisource stats for pages proofread and pages validated, but they involve looking into edits to see what type they are and so might be tricky. I think T172408 would need to be done first. We're counting these things in tools such as tool-wscontest, but only with regexes on page content.
The basic stats of pages created and pages edited would be super useful as well, but would require the counting to be extended to the Page and Index namespaces because those (especially Page) are where the bulk of the edits are done.
Sam, what is the Page namespace? That is different from the article/main namespace?
Yep, it's a separate namespace, and it's where the majority of Wikisource content lives. Wiki-pages in the Page namespace (yeah, nomenclature is slightly confusing) are transcluded into the main namespace. Most edits happen in the Page NS. The other main content namespaces are Author and Index (there's also Translation). Probably all should be considered "content edits" as far as Event Metrics is concerned.
Although, that makes me wonder if the general solution for Event Metrics could be to count stats for all content namespaces? Then it wouldn't be customizing for Wikisource at all.
As noted above, we have no time for changing Event Metrics at this stage. So:
Sam thinks it is worthwhile to add Wikitionary, but not Wikisource.
Just to clarify: this is because the content-namespaces of Wiktionary (and Wikivoyage) are the same as Wikipedia, whereas Wikisource has other namespaces that would need to be counted.
@Nuria, we will put this on our sprint board. The decision was that Wikisource's unique structure makes Event Metrics not useful there. And as we have no time for customization, we will not include that in this ticket. However we will include Wiktionary and Wikivoyage (since the latter has a structure identical to that of Wikipedias).

I wanted to make category placeholders depend on allowed wikis, but decided not to because this was a problem that had existed before and thus needs to be prioritized separately.
