Calculating the longest streak

How does calculating the longest streak work? Ahri Boy (talk) 07:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahri Boy: On a technical level, the database report works by finding all editors who have made 1 edit per day for the last 365 days. Then for each editor, it walks backwards through their contributions until it finds a break in their streak to figure out the start date. The source code is published on-wiki if you want to take a look. Legoktm (talk) 21:05, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
