Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Visual Editor and vandalism/reply (4)

Since you focus o the English Wikipedia, you probably don't know that other Wikipedias have had very different experiences. For example, VisualEditor was enabled for the Portuguese Wikipedia in early December. Their total edits went up 45% last month, the number of new pages created tripled, and the number of active editors (5+ and 100+ edits) also increased. This may not be due entirely to VisualEditor, of course, but it did happen at the same time. It will be interesting to see whether they maintain the new level of activity during the next few months. At the moment, a bit more than 20% of all mainspace edits use VisualEditor (40% for logged-out users).
