About this data

This page measures three statistics about bot editing on Wikipedia: the median length of consecutive bot edits, the longest observed bot edit streak, and the standard deviation of streak lengths. The data are extracted from the public revision history of Wikipedia articles, identifying bot edits by the bot flag or known bot user‑agents. Examining these streaks reveals how automated editing patterns change over time, a topic that has not been published before due to the technical difficulty of isolating bot activity from human edits.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

The web search results contain no references to a dashboard, dataset, or recurring report that tracks Wikipedia bot edit streaks; all returned pages are unrelated topics. Therefore, there is no evidence that this metric is already being published online.

Uniqueness score 0.90 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
