says "The edit counter is a live count of all edits across all databases in Wikimedia’s servers. How does it work? Every five minutes or so, the system queries the databases in the Wikimedia cluster for the sum total of all edits on the Wikimedia projects, and updates this number in a cache. This version queries that cached number of edits using a custom script. It picks a number smaller than the total cached number, displays that, and starts counting upward. Every few minutes it checks for a new, updated total count. If the live counter has gotten ahead of itself, and the latest cached number is smaller than the script's current count, it jumps back to that; otherwise it keeps counting. The number usually runs about 3 to 5 minutes behind the actual total number of edits on all the Wikimedia projects. Edit Counter homepage" ---- Sounds great, however, the homepage link at the bottom leads to http://tools.wmflabs.org/wmcounter/ which returns HTTP ERROR 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable , and says " No webservice The URI you have requested, /wmcounter/, is not currently serviced. If you have reached this page from somewhere else... This URI is part of the wmcounter tool, maintained by Emijrp. That tool might not have a web interface, or it may currently be disabled.
