But It’s good enough for rough analysis of how experienced a mapper was at the time when they made a particular edit. It can help changeset analysis tools like OSMCha, or bots that watch for vandalism, or even just as a useful signal when looking at a changeset to see what a user did or when responding with a comment.

Hi<br class="">
<br class="">
What are the <font class="">hashtags used for?</font><font class="" face="Courier New"><br class="">
<br class="">
</font><font class="">Surely </font>changesets_count should start
at 1, the same as displayed on a users homepage?<br class="">
