As you can see, enwiki and jawiki have much lower rates of bot edits than other language
editions. Perhaps it deserves some attention, and for sure, I will metion it in my thesis
:).
Thanks to Erik and Ziko for pointing this out.
Best,

Hi all.
Maybe tomorrow, if I'm not too busy, I will have a
detailed graph of what's going on, at least in the
top-10 (or top-20) editions.
In the meantime, some basic spells on MySQL show this for
eswiki:
http://pastebin.com/m19859c24
Where perc_logged_revs shows % of bots edits over total
number of logged users edits (by month) and perc_revs shows
% of bots edits over total number of revs (by month,
including annonymous users).
The magic of numbers is that they are (most of times)
completely objective. Erik, your numbers seems to be fine,
also looking at the monthly trends. Maybe my impression (and
other past graphs) are only valid for enwiki, but I begin to
have my doubts looking at these results. Tomorrow, we will
see.
All the same, we all agree in that bots should be filtered
out, but it was a curious question for me.
Best,
F.
