This is my first time posting a Wikipedia “Edited” year in review, despite having edited Wikipedia for 20+ years (https://tantek.com/2025/300/t20/wikipedia-editing-anniversary).

While this #indieweb version of a year in review was fun to make and look back on, since all the data is public, there’s an opportunity here for a service (perhaps another XTool) or open source project to create such a summary for any Wikipedia editor.

Beyond a nicer presentation than plain text lists and numbers, such a summary could include visuals like a graphs of some of these stats over time, like Wikipedia pages created or edits of various kinds each year.

Until then, I encourage everyone editing Wikipedia to make their own “Edited” (I made that up, feel free to pick a better term) year in review and post it on your personal site! Feel free to re-use any of the design or separation of numbers that I chose, or make up your own.
