Bon dia / Hi,
Is there any available tool to precisely count how many days in a row a Wikimedian from a
specifif project has been editing? The source that is linked in the Diffs page
(
only within the English Wikipedia…
Has anyone checked that there is no other user in the rest of the other projects (hundreds
of them) with a similar or better streak, so that the sentence “the Wikimedian with the
longest editing streak” is fully accurate regarding both language and Wikimedia project?
Gràcies! / Thank you!

[Johnny
Au](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Johnny_Au)has been editing every single
day since November 11, 2007, which makes him the Wikimedian with the longest editing
streak. That's more than 15 years or - more precisely - 5733 days of continuous
editing!
Each day Johnny checks his extensive watchlist, which includes articles related to his
beloved hometown Toronto. From local sports teams and art galleries, to Toronto transit
system – Johnny is passionate about all things Toronto-related, and carefully watches over
Wikipedia articles about it. He specializes in minor, maintenance edits: correcting
spelling and language, reverting vandalisms, adding images and correcting mistakes.
The daily habit of editing and the pure love for Wikipedia, and passion for free
knowledge, is what keeps him going. When asked about advice to share with other editors,
he says: Never give up. Fight the good fight. We must fight against misinformation and
disinformation.
