That is, Popular Insights on my main wiki has been reporting zeros. I thought maybe it was a fluke, but damn - guess I ought to report it as a bug. It didn't used to be this way so I have to assume there's something going on with the recent rollouts.

Looks like a couple people mentioned that the special contributors list in Special:Community is inaccurate when it comes to edits? That's been the case for me long before the recent modernization updates. I mostly solo edit my main wiki, and the majority of the time Special:Community claims that there have been 'no contributions' that week when that was patently not the case. Once in a while it does list me, but mostly not.

I reported that more than once to Staff, and each time it was fixed...but obviously only temporarily. It's still happening. Eventually you just stop reporting it because the fixes are never permanent. I didn't report them out of a sense of personal outrage or anything - I figured that maybe, just maybe, this site would care about such a bug and want to fix it.

Maybe I sounded a little bitter just now, but I can't help but wonder how many other people have experienced the same bug for months like me?

Hold on...actually I remember that soon after Special:Community was rolled out a lot of admins were reporting that they weren't featured in the contributions sidebar (I'm a bureaucrat/admin myself). So that was an actual acknowledged issue at one point. I just don't know if this is the same issue or if something else is the source.
