I'm not an analyst, but I was looking at this out of curiosity and noticed that anon users dropped by almost the same number that logged-in users rose:

Maybe people are logging in more?

The English Wikipedia is showing a pattern that I don't notice on several other wikis. If I'm not mistaken, in April 2020 monthly active editors passed 43k for the first time since 2011 (the year when MobileFrontend was created). < https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org/contributing/active-editors/n...
(As usual there will be a deflation of the number in a few months, after the deletions have run their course. The 43k threshold may still hold.)
The April peak looks like it continued and reinforced one of the now-usual October/January/March peaks. Do we know how much of this growth is organic or across the board and how much is amplification of existing known seasonal patterns (WikiEdu?).
