Wikipedia talk:User scripts/Most imported scripts
Active users are defined as users who have made an action in the last 30 days.
No way of identifying those that have been commented out then, I presume. Guarapiranga (talk) 22:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Guarapiranga: Like it says on the page, "
Commented-out installations also get counted, but the over-counting because of this should be negligible.

- Might I suggest calling them New instead of Active then? Guarapiranga (talk) 23:00, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- It's "active users", not "active uses". "New users" wouldn't make sense as it would imply recently registered users. Nardog (talk) 01:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- No, it would imply new users of the script. Or new installations even. Active users implies users who have it installed and don't have it disabled (hence the need to override that implication with the aforementioned redefinition). Guarapiranga (talk) 01:07, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, that at least clarifies where you're coming from, and I disagree. "Active users" here means "users who are active", not "people who use the script actively". Even if it were taken to mean "installations", "new" would imply recent installations, which is not what it is. Nardog (talk) 01:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Aha! My mistake. Upon rereading the definition, that makes perfect sense now.
- Having said that, it'd be desirable to know how many users have each script enabled, wouldn't it? I guess that's more complicated than simply filtering for

Thanks, and suggested note for header
Thanks for this great set of stats, and details embedded in the list page!
I suggest adding a line to the Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts/header on this page (and perhaps also in the list page), noting that many more users might install a script via their global.js (examples of 133 more installs of Lupin popups) and cross-wiki elsewhere.
