Analysis
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. Recent months have alternated between year-over-year gains and losses.
 * 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.
 * Mobile editing continues to increase at a roughly linear rate, which means that in percentage terms the increase is slowing.

No notable trends. The size of the month-to-month trends here are well within the realm of normal fluctuations.

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.

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

Key trends
As usual, pageviews dropped sharply before the holidays, only to recover in early January, with a lasting.

We continue to see a year-over-year growth in total pageviews, slightly larger than last month (+3% vs. +2%).

The recent Audiences metrics and insights presentation (to be published soon) contains results of some investigations into the trend developments since spring. In particular, referrals from search engines (mainly Google) saw a positive trend change in mid-May.

Unique devices again increased year-over-year. But as noted before, this metric might be more susceptible to artifacts that decrease the accuracy of such longer-term trend assessments.
