Net byte difference

This metric does not really make sense, as it has an implicit or hidden dependence on how to encode the wikitext. It would be better to extract the w:body text, and then count the code points. This will be more representative for the actual increase. — Jeblad 14:54, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Database size

It should be made to determine database size of all articles, including or excluding redirects. I believe Wikistat1 once had this. --Horus (talk) 20:31, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
