Hi Erik,

My query only looks at the last 30 days.  See the "(in the last 30 days)" suffix on the title :)  This explains the discrepancy in our counts.

Here is an experiment I did about two months ago with First Normal Form (yikes!) and GNU. I just never posted this yet.

I collected alle edits from all wikis using recent full history stub dumps, with a perl script, which took some 30 hours.
The total file for all Wikimedia wikis is 240 GB uncompressed, 2.94 billion lines.

Each edit yields a record with wiki, timestamp, namespace, user name, article title and then some.
Now querying that file with grep,cut,sort,uniq,wc is pretty straightforward and remarkably fast (30-40 min), and rather versatile.

A) Top editors in namespace 'Module' (=828) on English Wikipedia:

grep -P "^enwiki," EditsTimestampsTitlesAll.csv | cut -d ',' -f 6,9 | grep -P "^828," | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 500 > top500_edits_enwiki_namespace_828.txt

should yield figures similar to Aaron's quarry query [3], but in fact they are way higher
e.g. top editor (according to quarry) for that namespace 'Module' (=828) user 'Mehmedsons' had a two months ago 1251 instead of quarry's 234 edits, which is confirmed by [3]

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&contribs=user&target=Mehmedsons&namespace=828&tagfilter

B) similarly, but for all wikis and namespaces: total edits per wiki per namespace per user (filter as you like)

cut -d ',' -f 1,6,9 EditsTimestampsTitlesAll.csv | sort -t\, -k 1,1 -k 2,2n -k 3,3 | uniq -c > edits_per_wiki_namespace_user.txt

C) Most edited articles all over:

We are working real hard to make cross-site querying easy from quarry, by pointing it to the new data we're working on. So we hope to have that out as soon as the new labs db servers have data for all projects. A quick question on this topic: how far back do you all need to go? Whole history for most things or will you get a lot of value out of one or two years, with further back just being nice to have?

Thanks a lot everybody for your replies and explanations!

A welcome reminder that I have to learn more about Quarry (plus find a way to also query cross-site and maybe restrict to "recent edits").
