Would you prefer a different default time range?

Is it a rolling year? Is current month included or is it last month? E.g. if I visit this page today (3 February), what will I see?
Yes, a rolling year up through the most recent complete month. So on February 3rd we could show January 2016 through January 2017. For daily data through the current day, the user would have to click on detail and choose the right time range.
Makes sense. Would be great to have MTD values available somewhere (possibly with projections), like in https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm . It might not make sense for all metrics but it might be disappointing to still see January only on 28 February.
Detail: MTD only appears from day 8 of the month. And there is the issue that sometimes first say 10 days will contain one weekend, sometimes two, which hampers extrapolation to full month.
I was wondering if the time range could be more prominent, maybe put it next to the metric name.
