We decided to cap thanks and edits counters to 999+ in {T324286}. We had a limitation (listed at {T324286#8441689}), and the 999+ was acceptable as our targeted audience is newcomers. But it was also up for reconsideration.

But it was also up for reconsideration. ---- //Possible technical approach: // We currently use a variable to check for >= 1000 edits, and if so, display this 999+ placeholder. We can't just lift that check, because we only process up to 1,000 edits in our queries when generating user impact data. I think instead we can export the UserEditTracker edit count and override the Impact total edit count with UserEditTracker, if the Impact data's edit count is 1000. ---- ###Acceptance Criteria: Given I'm viewing the new impact module and I have completed over 1,000 edits, - Then the `Total edits` number reflects my actual Edit total, and - The other metrics in the Impact module will only reflect my previous 1,000 edits (for performance reasons and to ensure Impact module queries aren't too costly).
