I concur. Nothing listed at all ! --Leo 13:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

There doesn't appear to be anything listed. -- user:zanimum

Why is this page not working? 204.78.11.59 18:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I see nothing as well. Cfpresley

Everything seems quite alright at the moment, thanks God. --62.84.15.238 17:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The page stopped working again. --WikiSlasher 12:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I see lots of stuff. I think my fave is Star Wars. DUH! StarWarsGirl 19:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Update?

How often is the page updated? As far as I can see it hasn't for the last two days, perhaps one wants to add of what time the list is made on the article? And update it again :) 80.62.172.74 23:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of revisions

Is there any way to track generally the number of revisions that an article has had? (Or perhaps I could request a feature...) --Susurrus 05:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

There is an external tool that includes this information. The Article Contribution Counter (available from the "editors" link if you are using popups) shows, for example, "The page France has 4877 edits by 884 registered users."; although the data is subject to the toolserver lag, currently reported as 9 days 15 hours 44 minutes 15 seconds. Thryduulf 07:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Another tool, the "Wikipedia Page History Statistics" is at http://vs.aka-online.de/wppagehiststat/ -- User:Docu
This is brilliant! Thanks for that... --Susurrus 02:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Communism vs. Capitalism

Another one of those odd coincidences: Communism is the 135th most revised article, and Capitalism is 136th. The debate rages on... youngvalter 01:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see a list in descending order of most times reverted for articles, I'm sure those two would rank fairly highly. --WikiSlasher 07:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] gibberish

data is -> data are

"Most revisions" is gibberish—it's maniest revisions. -lysdexia 04:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

No...it's most revisions. At least according to Wiktionary there is no maniest. --WikiSlasher 12:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
lysdexia.. or dyslexia?--Winterus 23:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
That's the joke - dyslexic people could read it as lysdexia...great username IMO --WikiSlasher 07:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Wouldn't dyslexic people read lysdexia as dyslexia? -/- Warren 03:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I meant dyslecix people might read dyslexia as lysdexia...but omg you're right, they could read lysdexia as dyslexia...--WikiSlasher 07:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Least revisions?

Will there ever be a page Special:Leastrevisions? These would probably be the most unreliable because few editors have been involved in checking the article for accuracy, notability etc. Better still would be to find the pages who had the lowest number of editors. Andreas  (T) 01:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that list would start with ~1 million articles with one edit. I'm not sure how that would be helpful.. Something that would be interesting is if Wikipedia implemented more specific lists of most edited articles. Like "Most edited articles this month" or "Most edited articles this day".--Winterus 21:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]  !!!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Page is not working. There are no pages on the list and repeted loading does NOTHING. What Happened????? Or is it something stupid and I look like an idiot? → p00rleno (lvl 78) ←ROCKSCRS 12:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I can't get it to work either. J.J.Sagnella 17:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
See here. The current mostrevisions cache is from the dump I linked here (November 30th), and as you can see, two of the dumps failed, causing there to be no data for the mostrevisions page to display. This is just an assumption, but I'm fairly sure this is why the page won't work. The page only uses that one cache until it updates successfully, so mostrevisions won't display anything until the cache next updates. Agentscott00(talk) 00:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Significance of Articles on list

I don't think it's a stretch to say that this list represents the articles that are most significant to Wiki users. Given that, I'm surprised that George W. Bush Tops the list, and not Wikipedia. I'm sure though, that 5 years from now, when George W is rarely newsworthy, Wikipedia, which will always be relevant to the users here, will take the top spot, and probably stay there, permanently. Just some thoughts I had looking at this page. --Measure 00:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is it disabled?

??? → p00rleno (lvl 84) ←ROCKSCRS 17:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why isn't Wikipedia:Sandbox on the list?

It has more than 5x revisions than president bush's article has. Why isn't it listed. Oh and by the way, please don't forget to leave a copy of your reply on my talkpage. TheBlazikenMaster 15:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikirage

Wikirage shows the top edits for the last hour,day,week, and month (plus a few others). w3ace 15:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This page is a year late.

Can someone fix it? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 23:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New list

After some poking on #wikimedia-tech, I did some toolserver queries and came up with the following list. Note that this is not restricted to the main namespace, as you can see. Some variants on this (including the full association of page id's with number of revisions) can be found at http://hemlock.ts.wikimedia.org/~simetrical/mostrevs/.
