Active users: different values?

I'm getting wildly different values for active users on my Wiki.

  • {{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} is giving me 11
  • Special:Statistics also shows 11
  • Special:ActiveUsers gives me a much bigger list (over 50), 39 of which have at least 1 edit

The rest of the statistics update so I'm pretty sure the updatespecialpages script is running.

Are some usergroups excluded from this stat? They all show in Active users. After exporting the data it looks like I have 11 users with over 11 edits... everyone below 11 is not showing on Active Users.

Any hints? I'm at a loss. Thanks!

There are four levels in this game:

  • {{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} – number of registered users who edited within recent 30 days, or performed any action, at least one
  • {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} – number of accounts, perhaps without any edit ever
  • Special:ActiveUsers – users who might have registered (or perhaps logged in only) within last 30 days, but did not need to perform any action
  • anonymous users who might have edited

Enjoy.

I understand the different levels, but Active Users were showing different amounts. Running initstats.php (been a pain getting access to shell!) has fixed this and now displaying the right number on the Statistics and magic word. Thanks for your reply!
