Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 30,099 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

Retrieved for this report: Oct 5, 2026, 8:33 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 30,099 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,557 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 1,207 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 99% 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 500 changes. The page is currently busy: 500 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 27 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 88% 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 30,099 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.
