Usage
editCreated in November 2021 and updated in early 2023, this table shouldn't need updating until at least late 2024, given the rate of change over the past few years.
Most numbers can be calculated from Special:Statistics. The rest can be found with this SQL query. The number of autoconfirmed editors (10 edits) is in WP:AUTOCONFIRM. At the next update, the queries will need to be checked to see whether m:IP masking, which creates a "temporary account" for editors who have not registered a permanent account, has affected the counts.
For the highest activity levels, compare the number of registered accounts (48,447,451) against the list at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. For example, if there are 47.5 million registered accounts, then the number of edits listed for the editor in row #475 of that table is the 0.001% level. Please round up, so we don't have to update this table very often.
