            Bug ID: 55627
           Summary: Profiles heuristics
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Talking to Maryana, Ironholds and various other people in the office it seems
that the heuristics first line of the UserProfile are not as useful as it could
be.

For example:
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:UserProfile/Ironholds has Oliver as a "new
editor," even though he's been editing for 1,000+ days.

Also high edit count doesn't equate to good editor.

I would suggest that we pay more attention to roles:
For example on the diff view:
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/789288...789310

Brion is shown as "BUREAUCRAT, CODER, IMPORTER, ADMINISTRATOR"
These seem far more useful indicatiors of what Brion does on the project.

Personally, I think the number of days registered is useful for identifying
newcomers to projects but I can see views on total edit count...
