  • Avg. daily views to files uploaded: A 31-day average of daily pageviews to all main namespace pages on all wikis on which Files Uploaded have been placed (compiled once per day).  If fewer than 31 days are available, the average is calculated for the available days.
  • Avg. daily views to pages improved:  A 31-day average of daily pageviews to all Pages Improved during the event (compiled once per day).  If fewer than 31 days are available, the average is calculated for the available days.
