Baseline for STiki

• 660 editors with at least 1 use

At 18:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC), STiki author Andrew West released the following statement in response to a request for baseline statistics: STiki has had 653 unique user names use the tool. 440 users have made more than 50 "classifications" (but an "innocent classification" is not an "edit"); not sure exactly what you need here. STiki has been used to revert 279,528 edits (though total "edits" are probably roughly 2x that given a warning is typically placed); it is also impossible to quantify instances where STiki helped someone find damage, but then they reverted it using a tool like Twinkle.
