I am trying to relate the edit counts at English Wikisource and I am wondering whether one or more of the namespace is not being added to the count. I cannot find where or how one can see the configuration for edit count for the system.
I have done some comparisons and do see a discrepancy but cannot find the tool author's (hunting in IRC) to ask questions, so I am coming back to the general forum for info.
Tools used
- [[Special:Preferences]] [0]
--> edit count
- vvv's YAEC [1]; and
--> edit count and per namespace count
- Soxred's editcounter [2]
--> edit count and per namespace count (with a live and deleted count)
When I do a comparison of the _total_ edit counts [0] = [1] != [2]
When I do a sanity check of the tools [1] total != sum [1] of namespace [2] total = sum [2] of namespace (live edits only, not deleted) BUT sum [1] of namepsace = sum [2] of namespace
To me the [2] data seems to be correct as it matches the namespace counts, and the totals are correct.
This leads me to believe that
- [1] total is pulling a separate total count, and not a summed total.
- [0] count is wrong, missing data, and one cannot tell from where, so I am
presuming that it is missing from omitting one or more namespace pairs
As mentioned, I tried to check where one may do some verification, however that is not evident. Some guidance would be appreciated.

Regards, Andrew PS. I have not done a similar comparison for other wikis, as I thought that I would understand the basics first.
