Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/November 2015 follow-up

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Outcome

When studying new editors for 60 days after their registration, the visual editor:

  • Had no impact on the editors' productivity or survival
  • Significantly decreased how often those editors' edits were reverted.

A rough write-up can be found on Github.

Data

The datasets can also be found in the Github repo.
