Are there stats that show a decline? Just curious.
These aren't exactly stats, but I think the Google Trends graph of
"MediaWiki" vs. "Confluence" shows a relevant picture:

Perhaps relevant, but that's not at all a complete picture of MediaWiki's
use. MediaWiki is linked to at the bottom of every Wikipedia page, and a
lot of interested users are going to be able to remember the domain name
without going through Google. Download traffic (direct from mw.o, but also
through OS package managers) would be a more useful indication.
