Edit moar!

Easy to do (with data on hand)

  • days since last edit (have) ✓
  • edits in last month ✓
  • total edits ✓
  • is blocked? ✓
  • list of recently edited pages
  • how many days until you have to edit again (to keep stated goal, currently 5/mo)

Needs all a user's edits

Easier

  • edits per month (bias for n months?)
  • your edit frequency (day, month, year? --> edits per month //graphable)
  • Full list of pages you've edited
  • Common categories of pages you've edited
  • what % of edits have comment (only show if below threshold?)
  • pagination of edit history (semi-off-topic)
  • of pages created

  • number of comment page edits //currently not pulling comment edits
  • days in a row edited w/o breaking the chain (http://calendaraboutnothing.com/) (achievement :D)

Harder

  • changes edited/reverted // +1! //possibly difficult //update: Really difficult
  • editor level //what perms // group membership
  • your edit frequency vs the rest of WP //needs overall data : source? (create in house?)
  • achievements //neat badges for more secondary stats? //semi-off-topic
  • pages created vs. rest of WP //source?
  • images uploaded / edited
  • images added to pages // hard or easy, I think hard
  • sources/references added
  • Who you've left messages for, who's left messages for you
  • translations //possible extending beyond en.wiki
  • // It's not a bad idea, there is a feature for this
