Partial coverage

This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 2% of the reported 33,053 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, 11:29 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 Jesus has been edited 33,053 times since it was created in 2001, by 7,889 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That works out to roughly 1,329 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 35% of the changes, with the rest spread across a long tail of occasional editors. That is a fairly typical mix of regular maintainers and passing corrections.

Within the retrieved window, 2026 carries the most recorded activity, with 257 changes. 41 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 22 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 35% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in April 2025. 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 33,053 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.
