How often is this list updated? Is it done automatically, on a whim, or on request? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 14:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC) reply

It was being updated every couple of days but it appears as though it may have been decided to not update it further which really is quite a pity as this information was a good gage of article activity. 83.202.81.12 ( talk) 14:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC) reply

So it would seem. A Pity. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 16:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC) reply

It now gets updated twice a year (April 21, and october 21). Bawolff ( talk) 23:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC) reply

If it's only updated twice a year, it's not very useful. Due to templates being switched to Lua, and other editing of meta-templates, transclusion counts can change significantly in that time. Once a month would be better, or perhaps once every two months if that's hard on the servers. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 00:55, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Note that today's update was a one-off so that the changes in gerrit:137967 would take effect. Also, part of the reason this normally only goes once every 6 months is that the query takes over an hour to run. Jackmcbarn ( talk) 02:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply
