This report displays 500 retrieved recent revisions — about 4% of the reported 13,293 edits. It cannot establish why a change was made, whether it is correct, or what happened outside this window.

What this edit history shows

The Wikipedia article on Muhammad Ali has been edited 13,293 times since it was created in 2002, by 4,458 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 552 recorded changes a year, or several every day, which puts it among the more actively maintained pages on the encyclopedia.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for about 37% 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. In the same window, about 7% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2025 carries the most recorded activity, with 256 changes. 29 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 24 days ago.

Readership has been broadly stable across the last two years of pageview data. 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 4% of the 13,293 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.
