Hi Jan
Together with other people in my group, we wrote a paper about how Wikidata editors change
their behaviour as they become more experienced.
It might be not precisely what you are looking for, as our study has a qualitative
approach, while it seems that you are looking for something more quantitative, but you
might have a look if you want.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Hello,
I am looking for research on how editors transition through various levels
of involvement in their time as editors. The questions I ask myself are:
- How many people to come each month?
- How many editors leave?
…those are not too difficult to answer but…
- How many people become more involved over time? E.g. How many each month
come to a level where they are interested in handling many pages on the
watchlist, learn the less obvious aspects of wiki culture etc.
In my work as designer I am often involved in features for intermediate
and/or very involved users and I’m wondering if there are any ballpark
estimates of how many people learn these features each month.
