Net byte difference[edit]
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[edit]
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)
