Yeah, I've had a bit of a poke round, and I'm coming to that conclusion, too. And then there's the issue that the editcount on the allurers module counts edits yet another way. So, the way I figure, there's at least five wholly different metrics that Wikia uses to calculate your edit count:
 * The tally on your user page
 * Special:Editcount
 * Special:WikiStats/breakdown
 * Special:Top/community
 * Allusers API module

And, of course, none of these give the number of edits in a given week. They're all claiming to be total number of edits.
