For the Portuguese Wikipedia data, a chi-squared test[1] found differences in how users from different “edit buckets” (5 to 99 edits, 100 to 999 edits, and 1000 or more edits) responded to the survey. We thus report data weighted to the edit buckets of the overall user population in 2021.

Based on the responses to the survey, we estimate that users on Portuguese Wikipedia overall:

  • 20 to 29% felt unsafe or uncomfortable contributing to Portuguese Wikipedia in the 30 days before the survey.
  • 62 to 72% did not feel unsafe or uncomfortable contributing to Portuguese Wikipedia in the 30 days before the survey.
  • 4 to 13% were unsure about whether they had felt unsafe or uncomfortable contributing to Portuguese Wikipedia in the 30 days before the survey.
In the last 30 days, have you felt unsafe or uncomfortable contributing to Wikipedia (pt.wikipedia.org)? Survey Results for Pt.WP (Unweighted) Survey Results for Pt.WP (Weighted) Estimates for Pt.WP population (Margin of Error = ±4.77%, Confidence Interval = 95%)
No 65.6% 67.0% 62.2 to 71.8%
I'm not sure 8.1% 8.5% 3.7 to 13.3%
Yes 26.3% 24.5% 19.7 to 29.3%


We also conducted t-tests to see whether there were differences in how users from different “edit buckets” responded to the question in relation to all other groups. We find that editors who had made 5-99 edits on Portuguese Wikipedia (M = 2.5071, SD = 0.81239) were less likely to report having felt unsafe compared to editors who made 100+ edits (M = 2.2782, SD = 0.91818), t(282)=2.561, p=0.011.

Editors who had made more than 100 edits on Pt.WP were 57% more likely to respond that they had felt unsafe or uncomfortable contributing to Portuguese Wikipedia in the month preceding the survey compared to those who had made 5 to 99 edits.
