(Last reply to both lists; sorry for the spam)
This sounds like it'd be a bit of work to build, and I don't think there
are curated datasets to help out. I think you would need to...
1. get the count of active editors on Meta for [PERIOD OF TIME]. Easy.
2. perform a query or parse dumps to get the *list *of active editors
from every individual Wikimedia project for the same [PERIOD OF TIME]. Hard.
3. de-duplicate that list (since many people edit multiple wikis in a
given say, month, and you don't want to overcount). Pretty easy.
4. compare the resulting all-projects count with the Meta-only count.
Easy.
This sounds like a lot of work to me! Again, there might be tools or
resources for this that already exist, but I'm not aware of them.
It seems like having topline/platform-level counts for active editors
could be useful, as a dashboard or a public dataset. You might try requesting
this as a feature
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/?title=Wikistats%20New%20Feature&projectPHIDs=Analytics-Wikistats,Analytics>
for WikiStats. The worst they can say is "no", or "not yet" :)

Hi,
I’ve just seen the replies and thanks to everyone whose replied.
I was looking to try and work out what percent lf the active wikimedia
community are participating on meta and comparing to another wiki farm.
Any
thoughts on that?

It doesn't look like Active Editors works for
all wikis. I think you'd
have to merge activity across all wikis to get a stat like that. I'm
not
sure I know of a good data strategy to get that.
If you were to query it with quarry, you'd need to write a query for
every
wiki and then write some code to merge the
results. Oof.
If you to extract it from the XML dumps, you'd need to process each
Wiki
separately and then merge the results. Oof.
The best solution to this is to have a common table/relation across all
Wikis and to aggregate from there. I don't think there's any such
cross-wiki table/relation available.
