Community Wishlist/Wishes/Having to manually update edit statistics
Description
While displaying edit statistics-related information on local pages such as {{Service award progress}} on en-wiki rather than XTools; it has to be manually updated time to time. If there could be a Magic Word like {{USEREDITS: Username }} which could display the latest number of edits made by a user, the would update by themselves instead.
Templates on en-wiki such as {{Infobox Wikipedia user}} (which has an edit count field) and {{Service award progress}} (which displays appropriate award for a user based on provided number of edits) displays number of edits directly or something else based off of it. New users might have time to update the numbers regularly but, experienced users as they make multiple edits in a day, it's not simple to update the number of edits daily. If there was a magic word that would display the latest edit count automatically, it won't have to be manually updated.
Although this isn't a necessity or has any encyclopedic value, most wikipedians display either one of them or both in their userpages. A magic word like this would just make it easier.
