A couple more questions to which I don't know the answer:
- What is the total administrative workload now compared to previous periods?
The peak was probably back when we sorted out the fair use issues. I'd say that beyond that it's pretty typical.
Typical to what period of time? Presumably the anti-vandal bots, huggle and the abuse filter cut down on the need for administrators working in that area, as an example.
Reverting vandalism has never been an admin job, it's blocking the vandals that needs and admin and the anti-vandal bots don't help with that. There are tools that add the block templates to user talk pages automatically, which helps, but that's about it.
