Yes, I would also love to see these stats without Bot edits. We currently
calculate them ourselves for Wikidata, where we gleam much more interesting
and informative data than when we include the bot-edits. I would love to be
able to compare that to the Wikipedias.
I also assume that the March-Spike was due to Wikidata bots, and that the
following reduction on a very low level is due to the language links edits
not being necessary anymore, but I would love to see this confirmed with
actual data instead of gut feeling and interpretation.
Cheers,

I was poking around on
stats.wikimedia.org and
reportcard.wmflabs.org to
see if I could find out how overall editing levels had changed (if any)
over the past year. Unfortunately, it seems that all of our "edits per
month" graphs show all edits, including bot edits. Since changes in bot
editing levels are often dramatic from month to month, this noise
effectively cancels out the usefulness of the graphs. For example, you can
see a huge spike in March when I presume the Wikidata bots were running at
full force:
http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/**#secondary-graphs-tab<http://reportcard.…
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/**ChartsWikipediaEN.htm#3<http://stats.wik…
My question is: Would it be possible to replace or augment these graphs
with graphs that exclude bot edits? I know that bot status is not stored in
the revision table, so this would be quite expensive to tally. Would it be
prohibitively expensive? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
