I can't speak for enwiki, but I did a similar thing for ruwiki (WMF's 10th largest wiki), and a very substantial fraction of articles had 5 or fewer editors. If one condenses IP editors to something like " and 3 anonymous editors" (as some people have suggested) rather than listing each IP, then the number of articles with 5 or fewer editors is roughly half of all articles. Of course there is also a significant fraction of articles with dozens of editors, which probably includes most of the well-developed and easily reusable content. Enwiki, with its larger articles and higher number of edits per articles, probably has a lower percentage of articles that would fall under the 5 or fewer rule, but I don't think it would be trivial. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
