Dump based Wikistats reports for August are now online, even earlier than expected.

Observations regarding Wikipedia editor stats:

Number of active editors for all Wikipedias combined for August 2015, deduplicated [1]

5+ edits: 74884, MoM -0.7%, YoY -1.8%, PoM 78.5% (max April 2007)

100+ edits: 12775, MoM +2.8%, YoY +9.2% PoM 99.3% (max Feb 2010)

MoM is month over month

YoY is year over year

PoM is percentage of max value ever

[1] http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikimediaAllProjects_AllMonths.htm

[2] for PoM only first 28 days per month are taken into account, as a rough 'normalization' (in other words to give February an equal opportunity to rise to the top, as it did for 100+)

Hi Pine,

Expect Wikistats reports mid September.

Since a few months the stub dumps are produced separately, which speeded up the process considerably.

I expect all stub dumps are done around 8th/9th of the month.

It takes up to week after that to produce the counts and reports.

BTW last month it took longer, as part of the process had to be rerun.

Cheers,

Erik

A number of us are discussing the year to date editor population stats. When can we anticipate seeing the August stats? It would be helpful to have them be published at least a week before the publication of the monthly Recent Research report for September.

Thanks,
Pine
