I just found what isn't really a bug (well, sort of), but more of a suggestion. On wikis that a user who hasn't edited on, not only is their masthead empty, but their Special:Editcount listing is empty, when ideally there should still be content in the global side of the table (example). The masthead information doesn't seem to be as much of an inconvenience for me though.

If the editcount special page is dependent on a database local to individual wikis, I can understand, but I'm taking a guess that the global side is based on a global database. Maybe if there isn't data to call from the local database for a wiki, it should still call the data from the global database for the global side? I'm having a hard time explaining what I mean. Hopefully that's clear enough. :|

The masthead info shouldn't be too hard to make appear on wikis that a user hasn't edited on, should it? Every bit of info in the masthead is held in a global database table, so I'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to fix.
