What you're looking at now is the percent of edits that ended in an edit conflict since last April.

So when it says the average edit conflict rate for VisualEditor on 2015-10-07 was "0.01", does that mean 1% or 0.01%? I'm guessing 1%, but just want to clarify since the labels are ambiguous.

The rate is the number of times there was an edit conflict divided by the number of times a save was attempted. So yes, 0.0104 times out of 1, there was an edit conflict, which means 1.04% of the time.

The query for this, and the line you're interested in is here:

Also, the raw data behind that specific graph is here:
