Many log events that affect pages add a "dummy" revision, which can show up in the page history and the user's contribs but will not be included in editcount. AFAICT the only things that do increment editcount are actually editing a page and uploading a new file (but not overwriting an existing file). Also, AFAICT editcount is never decremented. Not even if someone moves a page over a redirect you created, which does seem to completely delete the old revision for the redirect beyond any recovery. > A case when you can have history line anterior to your registration is > on history import.

It's even possible for a wiki to have edits attributed to a user account that doesn't exist due to imports. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
