Measure contribution volume in a meaningful way
Open, LowPublic

Description

I'd like to replace non-bot edits as a top-line metric, since I think overall edit numbers (even if bots were perfectly excluded, which definitely isn't the case) is a very poor metric for productive editing. Some of the most productive editing produces very few edits, while some of the least productive editing produces very many.

I expect that this issue is much less of a problem when it comes to overall mobile edit numbers, since the disparity between the most productive and least productive edits is much smaller.

Other considerations:

  • The difference between work involved and value produced. Volume vs. value vs. work.
