Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 25,081 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Oct 6, 2026, 5:54 AM UTC. Totals and pageviews are source-provided; the activity signal and section list are derived from the retrieved window.

What this edit history shows

The Wikipedia article on European Union has been edited 25,081 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,763 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 1,005 recorded changes a year — an article being rewritten in small pieces almost every hour of the day.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for only about 33% of the changes. Editing that dispersed means no small group dominates the page; most changes arrive from editors who touch it once or twice.

Within the retrieved window, 2025 carries the most recorded activity, with 193 changes. 42 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 28 days ago.

Readership has been broadly stable across the last two years of pageview data. The clearest peak in that record falls in January 2026. Traffic spikes and editing spikes often line up, but the revision record alone cannot tell you which one caused the other, or whether an outside event drove both.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 2% of the 25,081 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. For older revisions, talk-page discussion and full context, follow the source history on Wikipedia.
