Data on this page is automatically updated every day. Purge

Note that total numbers of active accounts does not really refer to the total distinct active accounts, but the total number of active accounts on all wikis for each group of languages, because many users have active accounts on multiple wikis (and some users have several active accounts on the same wiki, for different roles or types of operations, e.g. when acting as an official member of a working team or as a bot).
