BaGLAMa (page views for Wikipedia articles containing images from National Library of Wales)

Sept Page Views - 16,036,523 (GLAMorgan)

GLAMorous (Percentage of Commons files used on Wikimedia projects)

Percentage of images used in a Wiki (Oct 05 2023) - 83.27%

Note: NLW is now on GLAM WIKI DASHBOARD but image view figures are considerably lower than those returned by GLAMorgan or BaGLAMa. ALso BaGLAMa stats have updated for early summer but the figures have suddenly dropped without a clear cause, and differ from significantly from GLAMorgan. Wikipedia Image views is a key metric for NLW - reported back to Welsh Government. The lack of consistent tools is a cause for serious concern and risks us having to move away from this as a KPI.
