    • Identify which pages are most consumed (have the most impact) on newcomers.
    • Identify which pages are less inclusive and are not being edited by editors of different generations (especially newcomers).
    • Identify which pages would be useful to create, given that they are essential in other languages.
    • Identify which pages could be deleted or archived.
