 * Inter-wiki search is here! An A/B test of a new search results page which includes inter-wiki search results was deployed to Persian, Italian, Catalan and Polish Wikipedias. Take a look and give us feedback!

Objectifs
Fiscal Year 2016-2017
 * Q1: July – September 2016 (WMF Q1 Review)
 * Q2: October – December 2016 (WMF Q2 Review slides)
 * Q3: January – March 2017 (WMF Q3 Review slides)
 * Q4: April – June 2017

Contributors Audience
We build collaborative, inclusive tools for creating and editing free knowledge.
 * Contributors page: Contributors
 * Contributors head: Trevor Parscal
 * Phabricator task boards: #Contributors-Team; #Collaboration-Team-Current, #ContentTranslation-Release8, #Parsoid, #VisualEditor
 * Contributors teams: Editing, Collaboration, Language, Parsing plus Design and Product

Metrics analysis

 * Active editors and its three subcomponents remain essentially flat over the long term (~5 year), with a 2015–2017 drop in new active editors offset by a 2013–2015 rise. In the short term, the month-to-month declines follow a known seasonal pattern where increases in the first half of the year are followed by a drop in June.
 * Edits are also generally flat over the long term, with a significant rise since the start of 2015 only partially offset by declines in the first half of this year.
 * Mobile edits have been relatively flat since the start of 2017 after several years of dramatic growth. It remains too early to say whether this is merely a temporary plateau or a more permanent end to the trend.

Recent Highlights
Neil Quinn is supporting the New Editor Experiences research project for Contributors; he is currently in Czechia undertaking the next round of research.

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.
