Ah, yes, but the projectcount files go back to 2007-12, that's where that confusion comes from, we should clarify or generate the old data. I'm not sure whether this is easy, but I think it's fairly straightforward and I've opened a task for it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T188041 (we have a lot of work in our backlog, though, so we probably won't be able to get to this for a bit).
