Statistics of total (content) edit rate are also available on WikiStats
at https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesDatabaseEdits.htm etc.
Edit and revert trends charts tend to be more useful:

One area that perhaps someone on this list can explain is the difference
between number of edits as measured by revisionID and as measured by
NUMBEROFEDITS
{{NUMBEROFEDITS}} and other magic words, just like Special:Statistics,
should be assumed to be cached and not necessarily current or correct.
They shouldn't be relied upon for any serious usage, except perhaps
after a successful run of initSiteStats.php --update .
That said, both {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} and the total number of edits in
Special:Statistics are supposed to count the number of revisions,
included deleted ones.
