Was the number 'leaked' or was it a tentative one that was announced at closing ceremonies?
The term leak has a negative implication, and someone updating a wiki in good faith based on a number given out to the general public orally wouldn't necessarily be a leak.
Nothing is in stone, and accuracy does take time. So if time is taken for the sake of accuracy then having a tentative estimate attendance updated to a more finalized number is more than reasonable. MFF had that happen last year as well.
Standards could be established around that concept of tentative numbers and then more accurate being given later, it'd be much healthier in the understanding of processes that we are humans after all and accuracy is not instantaneous.
Thanks for the comment in regards to this.
