Confusing percentage on Edit Posts Ability page
Related:
The Activity tab of my user profile, filtered to Edits shows 20 helpful suggested edits, and 1 declined.
The Edit Posts Ability page shows that I need a minimum of 30 approved suggested edits:
Since I have 20 out of 30, this suggests I would be at about 66% of the way to getting the Edit Posts ability. However, the page shows a progress bar at 33%.
The text above the bar says "Edit score threshold" which suggests this percentage may be based on the Wilson score used behind the scenes, rather than the number of approved suggested edits. Is this the case or is the 33% just a bug?

The ability is based on the Wilson score of all your edit suggestions, yes, so that one declined one counts against you. There's been lots of discussion about (a) whether the thresholds are too high and (b) whether we should revamp the abilities system to use other metrics (in addition or instead). I'm reporting the current behavior, not saying I'm thrilled with how it's working.
