Democracy

The Wikipedia article on Democracy has been edited 17,626 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,673 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 706 recorded changes a year, or several every day, which puts it among the more actively maintained pages on the encyclopedia.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for only about 31% of the changes. Editing that dispersed means no small group dominates the page; most changes arrive from editors who touch it once or twice. In the same window, about 8% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting, and roughly 12% came from unregistered editors identified only by IP address.

Within the retrieved window, 2026 carries the most recorded activity, with 183 changes. 30 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was yesterday.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 3% of the 17,626 recorded edits. Figures drawn from that window describe the window only, and the report cannot establish why a change was made or whether it was correct.
