As a new editorial board member, I am instituting a new feature: Most edited articles over the past week. This is an innovative improvement over the Traffic report first and foremost because Facebook isn't always in the top five, and also because it's more relevant to the editing community. Enjoy.

Sure, I guess, though perhaps Miss Ellen could offer to lend a hand, so that my workload isn't doubled. And just to keep her informed, Facebook isn't always in the top 5. In fact, it's barely been in the top five at all in the last few months. Serendipodous11:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the hyperbole, Serendipodous. I recommend that you publish the two top-20, side by side, with commentary on either, e.g.:
Possible alternative: article to which most editors contributed over the last week. Could be a totally different list (where endless debates between few people do not count for much). Erik Zachte (talk) 06:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Erik Zachte: that is a fascinating question. [1] versus [2] -- I would say that they each have their merits beyond the failure mode you describe. How would you combine the two so that both total edits and distinct editors weigh into the ranking? EllenCT (talk) 20:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'n not sure how to turn this into a report. Editing is not necessarily tied to anything outside of Wikipedia, so it will be very difficult to draw any conclusions from it. Serendipodous23:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Congratz and thanks to both ed for his long work and the new team for stepping up and putting energy in! Also I look forward to seeing Ellen's new feature. 107.77.75.46 (talk) 06:00, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
