Star Wars

The Wikipedia article on Star Wars has been edited 19,379 times since it was created in 2001, by 6,513 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 778 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 36% 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 6% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2024 carries the most recorded activity, with 195 changes. 26 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 8 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 30% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in May 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 3% of the 19,379 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.
