Metrics analysis
Not a single metric recorded a month-over-month decline in March, which is reasonable considering that it was 11% longer than the previous month.

The year-over-year trends are consistent with long-term patterns: a concerning decline in new active editors, a slow growth in existing active editors, and a substantial growth in mobile edits which is gradually slowing down (this month’s year-over-year growth was the slowest in almost 2 years).

The substantial year-over-year drop in the new editor retention rate is not part of a clear pattern of decline—the rate regularly fluctuates by similar amounts.

Recent Highlights

 * The filters on Recent Changes beta feature now lets you save sets of filters, with further improvements coming soon.
 * The Linter tool, which helps editors find and highlight wikitext errors, is now available on all wikis except the largest (like MediaWiki.org – see the linting index page). We will release it to the remaining wikis soon, once performance concerns are addressed.
 * Improvements to Content Translation to replace its editor with the same platform as the visual editor continue.
 * In the visual editor, you can now see visual diffs as you edit. We will improve and expand it in the weeks ahead.
 * Our work on deploying Compact Language Links out of beta (T66793) is nearing completion. It is available to everyone on all wikis except two Wikipedias, English and German. (T136677)
 * Our work to release the visual editor to all Wikipedias is now almost complete. There are now outstanding only the eight multi-script Wikipedias (including Chinese) which are technologically blocked, on which we're working with Parsing. There are also three other Wikipedias in incomplete deployment states (English, Spanish and Dutch), for which work is paused pending the new wikitext editor release, and won't resume until some point, probably in mid-to-late-2017.

Readers
We build exceptional learning and reading experiences for the sum of all knowledge.

Metrics analysis
The year-over-year decrease in total pageviews was a bit larger again this month (-4.7% compared to January’s -4.1%), but not yet again at the level of December (-6.3%) or November (-6.1%). There may have been an uptick toward the end of February that is still persisting as of mid-March.

As before, apparent causes for the year-over-year drop include the rollout of the page previews feature and a decline in Google referrals; see the recent for more detail. This (slight and intentional) cannibalizing effect of page previews could grow in April with further deployment of the feature. To reflect this new form of reading Wikipedia content in our metrics, work to count previews separately is currently nearing completion.
