BTW I wasn't just being flippant earlier. Data from the most recent Pew internet study and elsewhere strongly suggest that Facebook is on the wane among teens not just because of new mobile competition, but increasingly *because all of their parents are on FB.*

I guess it all depends on whether we think Wikipedians' parents (and nerdy older siblings[1]) are constantly posting embarrassing photos of them to Commons?

True, people have different motivations (!) for using Wikipedia and FB. But if other sites are strongly impacted by changing patterns in use by different age groups, maybe it's worth investigating whether something similar is happening to Wikimedia sites, too? Do we have data on page views/user activity by age group?
