Some users receive Wikipedia Library notification despite not having enough total edits
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

As reported here, and in at least one other venue that I've lost the link to, users are (rarely) receiving a Wikipedia Library notification that says they're eligible to access the library, but upon logging in, are told they don't have enough total edits.

There seems to be a mismatch somewhere, in rare cases, where the library's definition of total edit count does not match the notification's.

I think there are two separate issues here - one where the total edit count isn't matching between the library and the notification (this ticket), and one where users are blocked or don't have enough recent edits, which the notification doesn't check. I've tried to clarify the scope of each ticket a little more.
