Aha, I just figured it out. The two pages are using very different
definitions for "active editors".
refers to anyone who has
made a *single* edit in the last 30 days as an "active editor", while
refers to edits that
have made *5 or more* edits in the past month as active. This mix of
terminology is confusing. I think that the definition on Special:Statistics
makes more sense for "active editors" than the >=5 definition than is
commonly used in discussions on mailing lists. Can anyone suggest a better
set of terminology to distinguish the >=1 "active editors" from the >=5
"active editors"?

Next question:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics shows
that ENWP alone has had 123,512 active editors (5 or more actions) in the
last 30 days. But
https://reportcard.wmflabs.org/ shows that for June
2015 (the latest data available there), there were only 31k active editors
on ENWP and 77k active editors for all projects combined.
https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm
seems consistent with the latter, showing that for August 2015 there were
30,789 active editors. Is there an explanation for the large difference
between the 123,512 active editors shown on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics, and the 30,789 active
editors shown on
https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm?
Thanks,
