This is somewhat related as autogeneration could also help human editors... but After estimating how much time editors spend on adding edit summaries to Wikipedia edits <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334598>, I figured we could do the same for Wikidata editors manually adding item descriptions. Here's the Quarry query I used to find this: https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/76538 The query only counts non-bot description addition revisions based on the recentchanges table (so edits in past 30 days) that are ones performed through the editor (mw.edit) and not a tool, are not revisions that are reverted or restored (since those have autogenerated summaries), are not quickstatements edits, and the character count does not include the autogenerated section names of the edit summary (names between /* */) so it only includes the description added. Average number of human-typed descriptions added per day on wikidata: 5,349 Average number of typed characters (non auto-generated) per description: 43.8792 Assuming descriptions are typed at an average typing speed of 200 characters per minute or 50 wpm, these results calculate to: **Note:** This is across all description languages added. Some languages may have different characters per minute typing speeds. 234,660 description characters typed per day 1,173 minutes per day typed 19.5 hours per day spent typing descriptions 7,137 hours per year spent typing descriptions TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303677 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Lectrician1 Cc: Gehel, dcausse, Lydia_Pintscher, Jdforrester-WMF, Denny, tfmorris, AndrewTavis_WMDE, Fuzheado, valerio.bozzolan, Lectrician1, waldyrious, Michael, DVrandecic, Bugreporter, Manuel, Nikki, Epidosis, Mahir256, Aklapper, Danny_Benjafield_WMDE, Astuthiodit_1, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, maantietaja, ItamarWMDE, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
