http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesWikipediaWIKIDATA.htm#editdistribution seems to think that there have only been 15,238,669 edits by non-IPs in the article namespace on Wikidata. Considering Wikidata crossed 100M edits overall, it seems very unlikely that either IPs or non-article edits would make up the difference.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/analytics/cards/cards/1466
Erik: First assumption is it might be bots, that would make sense number-wise. In which case the comment above the table is wrong. “Distribution of article edits over registered editors, incl. bots" Dario: I had the same thought, btw there seems to be an issue also with: “50 recently active authors, excl. bots, ordered by number of contributions” many of these users seem to be bots
Priority set to high. Any credible bug report that reports massive undercounting in Wikistats should get quick attention.
Created attachment 15115 [details] monthly bot edit stats
It is indeed the comment above the table which is wrong: 'incl. bots' should read 'excl. bots' And of course Wikidata is the perfect wiki to reveal this bug, with 84% bot edits on namespace 0 Sanity check: (all totals up to Feb 204) monthly edits on namespace 0 as shown in first the table on same page adds up for all time to 110,026,093 ( I used underlying csv file for exact figures) Bots edits for all time adds up to 91,679,996 Manual edits from table under scrutiny is 17,900,282 ----------- + 109,580,278 This is 445,815 lower than the 110,026,093 from the first table, or 0.4% I'm not going to pursue that slight discrepancy now. I updated the perl script, and regenerated English reports. I'm filing Dario's observation as a separate bug
BTW I added bot edit stats for Wikidata as attachment
