(The 15 million is off the top of my head, but should be right.) For edits, I guess you can only use the cumulative totals, that are easily available, for English it is 437,897,137, the total is 1 186 000 000 --> ~36% (See Special:Statistics, and Emijrp's counter) If I read http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard right, the pageviews are 8 billion on the English, 14 billion total --> ~57% Best regards, Bence _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
