999+ edits on Special:Homepage

Hi! The edit counter on the homepage is used also by some of the established editors (as it's easier to discover than the one in preferences). However, after a recent update of the homepage, the counter was capped at 999 edits, rendering it unusable for experienced editors.

Would it be possible to get the exact number back?

Hello, and thank you for sharing this idea with us! :)

We went with the idea of 999+ for two reasons:

  • our primary audience are newcomers,
  • we have database query issues to get all numbers.

We are currently wrapping up our work on the impact module, which means that we won't change many things on this new impact module any time soon. I documented your request, as it is something to consider; Impact module usage by established editors is not something that was part or our initial plan.
