The Wikipedia article on Intermittent fasting has been edited 2,091 times by 691 different editors since it was created roughly 18 years ago in 2008. That works out to an average of about 116 edits per year, though activity is rarely spread evenly — most articles see long quiet stretches punctuated by short bursts of intense editing.
With a controversy score of 4/10, this article shows a moderate level of editorial conflict. Some reverts are happening, but it is not locked in a continuous edit war. This pattern is typical of articles that are mostly settled but still have a few contested passages — often a particular section, claim, or piece of wording that editors return to argue over.
Within the 500 most recent revisions we analysed, the single most active contributor is Zefr, responsible for about 11% 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 2021, when editing activity peaked — spikes like this usually line up with real-world news events involving the subject. Roughly 15% of the recent edits came from anonymous (IP-address) or unregistered editors.
The sections that show up most often in edit summaries are Types, Religious fasting, External links, Other effects, Research. These are the parts of the article that editors revisit most — 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.
