Wikipedia Statistics - Edit and Revert Trends

Wikipedia Statistics - Edit and Revert Trends: Swedish Saturday December 31, 2016

May 2016: The major overhaul of Wikistats reports has entered a new phase.

  First phase focused on migrating the traffic analysis reports to our new infrastructure. Those are operational now.
  The Analytics Team will now proceed to also migrate data collection and reporting about wiki content and contributors.
  First results are expected later this year.

More info at this announcement
You can still tell us which reports you want to see preserved, in this survey.

Monthly trend in number of edits

Also shown is monthly trend for total reverts, for scale comparison

Chart shows absolute numbers (y axis scale shows number of edits relative (%) to busiest month)

Plot Edits

Monthly trend in revert activity, relative to edit volume

Per x edits, were anonymous edits reverted more often than edits by bots or by registered users?

Chart shows ratio reverts:edits per class of editors (registered or anonymous users or bots).
Note: often peaks in revert ratio in early years are not so significant as in later years:
low absolute edit counts easily led to high fluctuations in revert ratio.

Plot Reverts

Revert ratio is ratio reverts:edits per class of editors (registered or anonymous users or bots).
Only reverts detected by sha1 matching are considered here, not (partial) manual reverts only detectable by edit comment.

Reverts is less than reverted edits! Sometimes several edits are undone with one revert.
Reverts broken down by number of reverted edits: 1 edit:82%, 2 edits:12%, 3 edits:3%, 4 edits:1%, 5 edits:1%, >5 edits:2%

When several revisions were reverted in one action, the oldest reverted revision determines editor class (and coloring):
is this a reverted user edit (reg/anon) or a reverted bot edit?

Distribution of reverts

Breakdown per namespace, type of reverted editor (registered or anonymous user or bot), type of reverter (same), was it a self revert or not, per time period.
Note: a high percentage in any segment can relate to a high absolute number of edits for that segment, or a high revert ratio, or both (please consult charts above for context)
.Projects pages are excluded due to enormous amount of false positives: some status pages are cleared often as normal process
