I'm sorry about the shameless plug, but i just had to tell that the number of edits in all the Wikipedias will change quite significantly when bug 15607 will be closed ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15607 ). Currently the bulk of edits in the minor language Wikipedias is done by interwiki bots, and i've got a hunch that en.wp is the de-facto hub for adding interlanguage links. This is the workflow, more or less: 1. A human editor creates the article [[Ira Cohen]] in, say, Slovenian (sl), after it already exists in 20 other Wikipedias. 2. A human editor adds [[sl:Ira Cohen]] to the article [[Ira Cohen]] in en.wp. 3. A human editor waits for the interwiki bots to pick it up and propagate to 20 other Wikipedias in which this article already exists. That makes it: * 1 human edit in sl.wp. * 1 human edit in en.wp. * 20 bot edits in other Wikipedias. After the Interlanguage extensions will be enabled, it will be: * 1 human edit in sl.wp. * 1 human edit in en.wp. * 0 bot edits (some behind-the-scenes magic pushes the changes to 20 wikis, but it's not seen in Recent Changes.) This is a major reason to have the Interlanguage extension finally enabled. Besides a MAJOR cleaning-up in Recent Changes in all Wikipedias, it will give a somewhat clearer picture of the activity in the ones. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
