One of our longest running sets of stats on Wikipedia is the time between
ten million edits - we now have stats for this over a fifteen year period.
After emailing User:Katalaveno and getting their agreement I have moved
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Katalaveno/TBE&redirect…
to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Time_Between_Edits and am making
a few changes.
One area that perhaps someone on this list can explain is the difference
between number of edits as measured by revisionID and as measured by
NUMBEROFEDITS - the difference is over a hundred million. That is too big a
number for it to be a measure of logged admin actions, unless when you
delete a page it increments number of edits for each revision deleted. It
might be in the right ballpark to give a measure of edit conflicts, if so
it would be very good to have a measure of something we had thought
unmeasurable.
So I'm wondering if anyone on this list knows the difference between
{{NUMBEROFEDITS}}. and revisionID
