--- Comment #4 from Dario Taraborelli <[email protected]> ---
We do have a concept of a "content namespace" that varies across wikis.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Metric_definitions#Content_namespaces

My opinion is that both "countable pages" and "content namespaces" are
MediaWiki artifacts that we cannot and shouldn't include in our KPI definitions
going forward.

1) They make historical analysis pointless (as individual communities can
change these definitions over time)
2) They make cross-project comparisons pointless (different projects use
different definitions of "countable" and "content")
3) They make feature-level -> project-level projections impossible

I recommend that: 
• we start using a stricter definition of active limited to ns0 and including
all pages, not just countable ones.
• we discuss on an ad-hoc basis how to accommodate special projects like
Commons or Wikidata
• we re-evaluate the pros and cons of this approach after a few months
