Revision window and sources

Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 29,546 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Aug 22, 2026, 1:32 PM 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 India has been edited 29,546 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,548 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 1,190 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 about 75% of the changes. Editing that concentrated usually means a small group of regulars is doing the maintenance, which tends to produce consistent wording — and also means the page reflects a narrow set of contributors.

Within the retrieved window, 2026 carries the most recorded activity, with 312 changes. The page is currently busy: 140 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 15 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 87% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in November 2024. 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 29,546 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.
