+Analytics who might be able to help with how reverts / Abuse Filter / etc. figure into edit counts
In addition to the links from HaeB, I would also suggest reading the recent report on content moderation on wikis, which on top of interviews has some quantitative analyses and additional methods for understanding reverts: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_content_moderation_on...

Concerning 1) and about analyzing reverts in general, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revert .
To explore 5), https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/AbuseFilter and https://tools.wmflabs.org/ptwikis/Filters:enwiki may be of interest.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for statistics about the edits that are reverted on the English Wikipedia. This is for purposes of explaining to the public what Wikipedia’s quality control processes are like. If hard numbers aren’t available, I’m also interested in educated guesstimates.
- An often-quoted statistic is that 7% of edits are reverted. Is this
still believed to be true?
- According to
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/19/scoring-platform-team/, 2.5% of edits are vandalism. There are other common reasons for reverting, and
I’m
wondering if anyone has studied their frequency. Does anyone know what percentage of all edits are reverted for being: a) Spam (as perceived by the reverter) b) Copyright violation c) Violations of the Biographies of Living Persons policy
- Do statistics on the number of edits per day on the English Wikipedia
(i.e. 164,000 edits per day) include edits that are blocked by the spam blacklists or by edit filters?
- How many edits per day on the English Wikiepdia are prevented
(blocked)
by the spam blacklists?
- How many edits per day on the English Wikiepdia are prevented by the
edit filters?
What percentage of all reverts are made by users of Huggle and Stiki?
What proportion of vandalism is quickly reverted? A 2007 study
(Priedhorsky et al) found that 42% of vandalistic contributions are repaired within one view and 70% within ten views - have any newer
studies
been done on this?
Thanks in advance!
