The edits necessary to cross this threshold, the fewer editors will meet the criteria. Historically, "active editors" were considered to be editors who made 5 edits to specific types of pages over the course of a calendar month. So for historical purposes, we recommend $n=5$.

The u activity unit

Time lag

This metric has a built-in time lag of $u$ for the time period in question.
