Which language version of Wikipedia are you interested in?

If is English then column B in
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm gives you new editors
by month up to September - just tot up the most recent twelve to get a
figure as at the start of October.

However I'd add a word of caution re taking the number of pages in
userspace as a figure for the number of users with a userpage. Some editors
have lots of pages in userspace, it is a good place for drafts, essays, the
quirkier userboxes and so forth, most commonly sandboxes but also
guestbooks, adoption programs, recall criteria, mentoring programs and so
forth. Some editors create new articles straight into mainspace, others
have a sandbox and work on one new article at a time, such editors might
only have two pages in userspace. But editors who work on several articles
in parallel may well have scores of pages in userspace.
