What is counted as a “contribution” to wikiHow? Patrolling tips? Articles? RCP?

2

Editing articles, patrolling new edits and creating articles

Although the edits you patrol are counted, they aren’t counted towards your contributions (unless you need to revert the edit you made). These two are separate. However, users shouldn’t need to worry about how many patrols they make in a given session. It’s quality over quantity. Remember to read through the guide to patrolling http://www.wikihow.com/Patrol-Recent-Changes-on-wikiHow along with the helpful information/guidelines sheet posed at http://www.wikihow.com/Template:NewPatroller2 , as these are going to be the most useful information any person should know when they patrol edits to articles.

@Byankno1 , I understand quality over quantity. I just thought this could be a possible bug, since I’ve patrolled ~1000 edits but made 400 contributions. This can be closed.
