Very cool. If you include wikidata then more than 50% of the edits on the
Wikimedia projects are made by bots. One of the dead horses I like to beat
is that bot editors should be treated as first class citizens of Wikipedia
and this data nicely illustrates that. I think this is a bigger watershed
moment (we might have reached this threshold a while back) then mobile vs
non-mobile and we should have a way more rigorous discussion about the
future of bots on Wikipedia. Particularly as all our big features are aimed
at human editors :)
