Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Visual Editor and vandalism/reply (7)

Every wiki that has VE opy-out enabled seems to have that same 20% of edits made by VE, and it doesn't seem like the number is increasing at all. Looking at the portuguese Wikipedia, the numbers fluctuate wildly, and December is nothing extraordinary. The lowest number of new editors was 211, December had 235, but there were 7 months with more new editors in 2013. There were only three months with less new editors with at least 5 edits, and only three months with less new editors with at least 100 edits. So it seems that VE didn't really help in getting new active editors. The number of edits? There were 6 months with less edits, and 5 with more.

Looking at other languages: Bulgarian was introduced to VE early October; the number of edits has only dropped since then. Croatian shows no change before or after introduction. Indonesian had a massive spike in the number of edits after the Ve introduction, but is now back to normal levels. Turkish? No change. Spanish is steadily declining, and VE han't stopped that in the least.

So it just is coincidence that you took the one supposed success story from all these? Oh, there may be others, I picked five reasonaby to very large languages at random, but it still is rather contrary to your 'You only look at enwiki, but "other Wikipedias have had very different experiences."' attitude. Oh, and the OP, and his quote that I reused in bold, came from the Spanish Wikipedia, so it's hardly a feeling that only lives on enwiki.

So, Enwiki, Dewiki, and NLwiki have made it opt-in: from what I hear, FRwiki and ESwiki aren't too happy either. What percentage of your userbase is that actually?
