I wonder if you could update the Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. There's been a lot of hubbub recently after the page was put on VfD for being out of date. It looks like no one there knows how to update it anymore, and to be honest, I don't care for the pag much,so I don't know much about how it works. Help is appreciated. --Dmcdevit·t 22:11, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
- I'll take a look and see what I can do. Triddle 20:48, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
- It looks like the SQL query will have to be rewritten. I would do it myself but I don't have the time at the moment. I'll be able to get to this in the future but not for a while. In the mean time I hope someone else will notice this and write the query. Triddle 18:00, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
See Wikipedia_talk:List of Wikipedians by number of edits#Any updates soon?. I have a program running (on Unix, but it's in C and uses Stdio, so it'll run on anything) to grovel over a database dump and produce the StatisticsUsers.csv file (or something that looks something like it, if another format would be easier). Now I need to track down what the next stage was (in terms of turning that into the stuff on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. Can you help with that?

- The SQL that is created to generate this report should be attached to this ticket so this problem can be avoided in the future. Triddle 18:00, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
