Tabling
Eh, I should have built a sortable table for the b'crat forum page. Although it is posted on a talk page, you have my express permission to edit that list. Please try to keep to the spirit of the list, which is to ID editors with at least 50 contribs and/or have some special status with the wiki. That probably goes without saying, but in case you're unsure: despite their low edit count, Quizzical (4) and Eaglemut (39) are on the list for their considerable contributions in the not-too-distant past. (I think I got all the admins that had a least 1 contrib during the 91 days.)

I didn't make any effort to cull out trivial contributions, which (as you now know) I believe to be critical when measuring vibrancy. And which, more importantly, probably ought to be considered when considering candidates for b'crat or other wiki roles.

For example, Ermath has 164 edits, but: they are only to his own user page, they were made during two one-week periods, and they give a misleading view of his activity because something like a third (or more?) were probably due to insufficient command of the preview button (or, as I sympathize with, having trouble with transclusions or scripts that aren't seen properly until a page is saved). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 12:23, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
