@AWC: You'll find that a lot of the imported articles on the City Building Games wiki I linked in my initial comment contain several edits by myself.

@Ripto22475: Special:Editcount registers all edits, regardless of the source. When importing content, it automatically recognises those edits I've made, hence why it is accurate to every edit I have made. Yet the masthead just reports "actual edits" and completely ignores imported edits, which makes no sense and seems flawed.

@452: I'm not sure. The stat on my userpage updates whenever the cache of the userpage updates, so is a bit delayed from what it should be reporting. I believe Special:Editcount updates immediately when you make an edit (locally), but I'd assume the "All Wiki's" section would be cached to update once a day.
