I am trying to relate the edit counts at English Wikisource and I am wondering 
whether one 
or more of the namespace is not being added to the count.  I cannot find where 
or how one 
can see the configuration for edit count for the system.

I have done some comparisons and do see a discrepancy but cannot find the tool 
author's 
(hunting in IRC) to ask questions, so I am coming back to the general forum for 
info.

Tools used
* [[Special:Preferences]] [0]
--> edit count
* vvv's YAEC [1]; and
--> edit count and per namespace count
* Soxred's editcounter [2]
--> edit count and per namespace count (with a live and deleted count)

When I do a comparison of the _total_ edit counts
[0] = [1] != [2]

When I do a sanity check of the tools
[1] total != sum [1] of namespace 
[2] total = sum [2] of namespace (live edits only, not deleted)
BUT sum [1] of namepsace = sum [2] of namespace

To me the [2] data seems to be correct as it matches the namespace counts, and 
the totals 
are correct.

This leads me to believe that 
* [1] total is pulling a separate total count, and not a summed total.
* [0] count is wrong, missing data, and one cannot tell from where, so I am 
presuming that 
it is missing from omitting one or more namespace pairs

As mentioned, I tried to check where one may do some verification, however that 
is not 
evident.  Some guidance would be appreciated.

[1] toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec.php?
[2] toolserver.org/~soxred93/pcount/index.php

Regards, Andrew
PS. I have not done a similar comparison for other wikis, as I thought that I 
would 
understand the basics first.
