Hi Leila Thanks very much, what I need to be able to do is get all the articles within the category and subcategories of Category:Education and then get page views for all of them, its a lot of pages...... My friend Ed Saperia created a spreadsheet to do this but unfortunately the query API limits to a few 100 articles so its not possible to run the query through that.
Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.
