The Signpost: 22 July 2024

[edit]

Active administrators circa 2005

[edit]

Hi Widefox, as you may know I often report on the slide of active administrators for The Signpost. Your page User:Widefox/editors is incredibly useful in putting this in perspective. I was wondering if you can share any fine-grained counts for 2005 or thereabouts? We are probably going to cross into the 420s soon, and I'd like to be able to say when the last date was that we were at that level. Thanks in advance for any advice here. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bri, thanks, I keep promising to update it, maybe this month. OK, hmm, the raw data (active, semi, passive) Wikipedia:List of administrators (history has the totals) only go back to 2007 so doesn't help. The pre-2007 (User:Rick Bot) early data is different, just need to re-find it. Is that what you mean? I'll have a look in a minute. Widefox; talk 19:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:List_of_administrators/stat_table show active admins going over 420 for the first time in May 2005. It does a quick dip just below 420 in July 2005, then goes over 420 a second time in August 2005. If you want to avoid that temporary dip, a threshold of 394 to 416 would simply go back to April 2005. Widefox; talk 21:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
