Authors repeatedly refer to the fact that anyone is empowered to add new content, but how much of this potential is realized, and how this compares to other Wiki projects, e.g., Wikipedia? The Wikimedia Statistics tracker shows that over the last two years, 46% of all edits on Wikidata were attributed to normal "user" accounts while ~54% are attributed to accounts that are registered as bots, with the trend over the last year showing an increasing trend toward non-bot user edits ((Wikimedia Foundation, 2020); Figure 1-figure supplement 1 in revised manuscript).
