Overview

This extension shows you how frequently a Wikipedia article is being edited, helping you gauge the article's current relevance and reliability.

See bottom right in the screenshots.

A high edit frequency might indicate:
• A "hot" or trending topic with rapidly evolving information
• A controversial subject with ongoing debates
• Breaking news where facts are being actively updated
• A topic under active discussion or revision
The extension displays this information with an intuitive color-coded indicator in the corner of every Wikipedia page, from red (very active) to white (stable). Hover over the indicator to see the exact time between edits.
This context helps you better understand whether you're reading about a settled topic or one that's actively being debated and refined by the Wikipedia community.
