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.

//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,
Then the `Total edits` number reflects my edit total across all namespaces.
**THERE should no longer need to be a "edit cap" because we are displaying the edit total rather than article edit total. **
And for performance reasons and to ensure Impact module queries aren't too costly: the other metrics in the Impact module will only reflect my previous 1,000 edits (across all namespaces)
Given I tap/click on the info icon next to `Thanks received`,
Then the copy states:
>Wikipedia is created by a community of editors like you. You may be thanked by another contributor for an edit you’ve made, and you can thank others for their edits too.
>The metric will only include Thanks received for your most recent 1,000 edits.
Given I tap/click on the info icon next to `Longest streak`,
Then the copy states:
>This is the highest number of days in a row that you made at least one edit.
> This metric will only reflect editing streaks included in your most recent 1,000 edits.
>**Your current longest streak is x which you achieved between y – z.**
