Agreed, drawing any conclusions other than "nothing terrible happened" is pretty difficult - we didn't set out to collect any data, and we don't really have any.
I asked what data we are missing, and no one has named any.
Please don't cloud a complicated issue further with uninformed conjecture.
Ok: - How many new pages were created per day by anons prior to the change? - What proportion of those new pages survived 1 month? - How many new entries at AfC were created per day since the change (preferably, month by month stats to see the long term trend) - What proportion of those entries became articles which survived 1 month? - What proportion of attempts to create a new page by an anon result in an AfC entry? - What proportion of attempts to create a new page by an anon result in the anon registering an account? - What proportion of attempts to create a new page by an anon result in the anon registering an account then coming back 4 days later and doing the job?
