Average Monthly Accounts with at least 10 edits, all time: 129

Average Monthly Accounts with at least 10 edits, last 12 months: 113

Seems to be a drop in activity centered around 2016 (months 100-120), with relatively stable activity on either side (looking at the rolling average for accounts with at least 10 edits).

About 20% of editors who make 10 edits make 100 edits.

Total number of accounts per month (including ips) is on an overall upward trend, but accounts with 3+ edits is on a downward trend overall. Activity seems to have increased in 2020.

About 40% of all edits have been from accounts that made 300+ edits in the month.

Going by year instead of by month in EditCount, the number of accounts has been increasing fairly steadily year-over-year. Total annual edits has leveled off since 2017. Editing peaked in 2011. The all-time total number of edits is lower according to EditCount than according to Special:Statistics (2,198,949 vs 2,344,260 = 6.2% lower; missing 145,311 edits). This difference is not attributable to missing months in the dataset; it is the equivalent of over 9 months worth of editing.
 * One thing I have figured out: EditCount does not count edits to deleted articles. Once an article is deleted, all edits to that article are removed from the EditCount totals.  If Special:Statistics does not do the same thing, this could explain the discrepancy.  A side-effect of this EditCount behavior is that totals tend to deflate over time; if somebody went through all this data again today, they would get different numbers.  This could also explain discrepancies between my numbers and FCP's, since he used the same method to compile similar stats back in 2016.
