Editor engagement



Editor engagement is how we keep Wikipedia alive and growing

Editor engagement is anything that encourages the growth of the volunteer community that builds the free encyclopedia. This includes both efforts to retain existing, experienced editors, and to encourage new contributors to join the project. From a Wikimedia Foundation point of view, it refers to the work our teams are doing to advance these goals, which you can read about below.

Here is the problem

We call this the oh $#*& graph.

In early 2007, the number of active editors, as well as the rate at which new editors stick around, plateaued and then bottomed out. These numbers haven't improved.
