Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The guide separates articles, courses, author information and video channels, asking for relevant, useful citations without repeated links or promotional wording. Source quality and specific technical claims still need independent checking; self-described authority is not factual approval.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.
