Yep, I'm also in favor of using bot-free edits on most charts and for Monthly Reportcard.
I think in most cases they can replace current stats instead of duplicating charts.

Hi Erik,
Would it be possible to generate the non-bot edits as part of the Monthly Reportcard set of jobs?
best,

Thanks! Those graphs are really useful. Is there any possibility that they could be added to the main stat pages for the projects, like http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/SummaryEN.htm, or even the report card pages?
It's unfortunate that such informative graphs are currently hidden away.

Graphs showing non-bot edits have been available for the largest Wikipedias since earlier this month, see Erik Z.'s announcement at http://infodisiac.com/blog/2013/07/new-edit-and-revert-stats/ .

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://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/ChartsWikipediaEN.htm#3
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.
