Okay, so I'm not going to say they shocked me....
in fact, they're pretty
much what I expected. However, I notice on the stats for English
Wikipedia[1] that multiple gadgets appear twice, once with a higher number
and a second time with a "-" in front of them, and a low number.
This is due to a bug[2] back in May 2013, which inserted a bunch of bad
preferences into the database table with an extra - in front. We didn't
notice until now that those rows were still in the database. I filed [3]
to manually delete them out of the database, otherwise they'll go away
gradually whenever those users save their preferences.
Additionally, a patch[4] was merged earlier today (it'll go out next
week) to filter out invalid gadgets or ones that were removed, which
would also hide these bad rows from the table.
