Statistics - General Overview query

Question

I'm in New Zealand, and as part of our response to Covid 19 the reviewers here decided to not publish any caches during the Level 4 and Level 3 phases of our lockdown, which commenced on March 26th and is still current.

If I look at the Statistics - General (Overview) page then it states that Last Month (which I presume is the calender month of April?) there were 164 caches "Hidden" in NZ. Does "Hidden" mean submitted to reviewers for publication for when they are happy to do so?

Also, is it possible to get some extra filters for the General Overview Stats? One in particular I'm thinking would be a filter to break down "Active Cachers in *location*" by filtering on how many finds they might have, so you can get a better picture of whether the active cachers are newbies or not?

Thanks in advance :)

Hidden means published.

Please try the Tool Map Hidden Month  https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapHiddenMonth and filter for April 2020. It shows you up to 13000 published caches woldwide.

But none in NZ and many other countries. You see USA, Sweden, Czechia and some others.

But after the lockdown of publishing caches, the published caches all get the date and month they were sended for review. So there will me much more April 2020 after the Reviewers publish them.

All the best from Germany to all of you.

Stay (or become) healthy.

Thank you for your reply. I think I will split my query out into its component parts so each can be answered separately.

Keep safe :)
