Total inbound links from Twitter, Facebook and Google +. There are API calls for that, and reach of content (not necessarily page views in and out themselves) is considered an important metric in journalism. Some of this is done by external non-WMF sources for all links but being able to easily have this data in a place where it can be gathered in bulk would be very useful. See http://topsy.com/trackback?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikinews.org%2Fwiki%2FWikimedian_activist_Adrianne_Wadewitz_diesas one place. Page views in and of themselves are not a useful metric, especially given the demonstrated problems with accuracy.
