We are curious to know the number of distinct junior contributors [1] contributing to talk pages and how that number has changed over time.
This information will be helpful for us in establishing a baseline for one of the key results for the project: //Increasing the number of junior contributors participating in conversations on talk pages by 5%.// [2]
=== Done ===
- [ ] A table that compares the number of distinct "junior contributors" who have contributed to a talk page in the past 30 days and the number of distinct "junior contributors" who contributed to talk pages in a similar 30-day window, 18 months ago.
-- Thinking: being able to compare these two measures will help us understand the natural growth rate of participation and set our growth target accordingly.

1. **Junior contributor**: A contributor who has made <100 cumulative edits.
2. Our current placeholder is a 5% increase over the lifespan of the project which we're currently estimating to be 18 months
