as well as the ticket tracking work on a Wikidata analytics dashboard [3]. However, after searching there and other usual places [4, 5, 6], I have not found a chart suitable for an "apples-to-apples" comparison between Wikidata and Wikipedia along the lines of Howie's famous graph.
You should start including Meta-Wiki in your "usual places". ;-) * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Editor_retention ** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Surviving_new_editor (note: survival ~2 months later, not 1 year) ** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Editor_engagement *** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Active_editor_spike_2015_%28July_up... **** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Scaled_mae_counts.wikidata.svg
Which is a slightly different way to look at the matter but tells the same story. Is that good enough, or do you necessarily want to replicate the same old graph?
Note that I'm not sure apple-to-apple comparisons between Wikidata and Wikipedia are possible at all. For instance, does a sitelink edit performed from the sitelink dialog on a client wiki count as activation?
