The Wikipedia article on Hantavirus has been edited 1,699 times by 906 different editors since it was created roughly 23 years ago in 2003. That works out to an average of about 74 edits per year, though activity is rarely spread evenly β most articles see long quiet stretches punctuated by short bursts of intense editing.
With a controversy score of 3/10, this article is comparatively stable. Reverts are rare, which usually means editors broadly agree on the content and most changes are additions, corrections, or routine maintenance rather than disputes. A low score is a reasonable signal that the article reflects a settled consensus rather than an ongoing fight.
Within the 500 most recent revisions we analysed, the single most active contributor is Velayinosu, responsible for about 7% of the changes in that window. That is a fairly healthy spread, suggesting the article is maintained by a broad community rather than dominated by any one voice. The busiest year in our data was 2026, when editing activity peaked β spikes like this usually line up with real-world news events involving the subject. Roughly 11% of the recent edits came from anonymous (IP-address) or unregistered editors.
The sections that show up most often in edit summaries are , Transmission, History, Disease, top. These are the parts of the article that editors revisit most β a useful shortcut to where the action, and any disagreement, is concentrated.
All figures above are computed live from Wikipedia's public revision data. For a deeper explanation of what these numbers mean, see our guides on edit wars, article quality ratings, and how to read an edit history.
