Problem: When accessing Wikipedia: Tools > Page information, the "number of page watchers" contains data that represents a large number of inactive users, that is, who no longer edit on Wikipedia. In addition, "Number of watchers who visited recent edits" it does not define the period that these users were active in the project. The idea would be to come up with a solution that reflects the number of watchers that are active on Wikipedia based on two changes.
Proposed solution: Change on Page information (Basic information): "Number of page watchers" and "Number of page watchers who visited recent edits" to "Number of watchers who visited recent edits in the last 90 days" and "Number of watchers who visited recent edits in the last 30 days", respectively.
Who would benefit: Everyone who edits on Wikipedia would benefit, as the proposed changes would value active watchers on Wikipedia, preventing these pages from being vandalized due to the fact that they do not have inactive watchers. Therefore, when changing the first to last 90 days, we will only have number of watchers who edited Wikipedia in this period, while those who edited in the last 30 days will also be those who edited in this period. Inactive users would be in the number of watched pages (last 90 days or 30 days) when they come back to edit again.
More comments: With the approval of this proposal, it will be implemented in all global Wikipedias.
