Agreed. In the discussion about this last year,[1] I suggested: "I think the strapline could be usefully tweaked, to indicate that: "[dozens/hundreds/two] editors have worked on this article over its lifetime" - This would provide useful context for understanding articles-in-general, and also the individual-article being looked at. (i.e. I could see and think "it's only been edited by 1 person! Suspicion!"). [...] Based on all the above, I would tentatively suggest changing the strapline to instead say something like: "Last edited 10 months ago, by one of 245 editors" and then on wikis that use an article-assessment system (ie. some Wikipedias, but not many), it could add that info: "Last edited 10 months ago, by one of 3 editors. Stub-class quality." ....
