Analyse
Key trends


 * Total content continues to increase steadily, with Wikidata adding volatility to the rate of increase.
 * Total active editors remains has remained flat for years, due to two consistent trends: a decline in new active editors and a slow increase in existing active editors.
 * New editor retention has tended to increase in very spiky fashion in recent years, due in significant part to an increasing number of new students from education programs on the English Wikipedia.
 * The revert rate, which excludes bot edits, is declining, probably due to the increase of high-volume editing on Wikidata.
 * Total edit rate continues to grow, mainly because of the same high-volume Wikidata editing.

Notes

¹ Editor location data is deleted after 90 days, so it is not possible to calculate trends from before the metric was established. Trends started to accumulate in June 2018.

² Pageviews (all platforms) + seen previews (desktop).

³ The rollout of the page previews feature was completed less than a year ago.

⁴ Due to our current infrastructure and data retention policy, we currently have just a 5 day window in which we can calculate Global South new editor retention. Last month, we missed this window, so this month’s month-over-month change is not available. We are working on a better long-term solution.

⁵ We have not yet backfilled mobile-heavy new editor retention. Once we do, year-over-year values will be immediately available.

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

Metrics analysis
We are still seeing a year-over-year increase in pageviews, although smaller than during the preceding four months. This slight slowdown is due to changes to both the rate of decline on desktop and rate of increase on mobile.

As before, keep in mind that the decrease in desktop pageviews is partly due to the deployment of the page previews feature over the course of the 2017/18 fiscal year. The upcoming Audiences metrics presentation will include some further analysis and observations.

Unique devices likewise increased year-over-year but less than in previous months.
