Very cool. If you include wikidata then more than 50% of the edits on the Wikimedia projects are made by bots. One of the dead horses I like to beat is that bot editors should be treated as first class citizens of Wikipedia and this data nicely illustrates that. I think this is a bigger watershed moment (we might have reached this threshold a while back) then mobile vs non-mobile and we should have a way more rigorous discussion about the future of bots on Wikipedia. Particularly as all our big features are aimed at human editors :) D
