Editor recruitment[edit]

It would be good to work out what the overall effect is on editor recruitment. New editors per month was already dropping, but we ought to check whether the curve of decline has steepened or steadied since AFT was introduced. I'd have preferred a proper AB test on this but we do have figures per month of new editors.

Month 2010 2011 decline on previous month decline on previous year.

So it should be possible to populate the above table, ideally filtering out talkpage comments and just counting mainspace edits. WereSpielChequers (talk) 16:17, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
