[Wikimedia-l] Re: Are we losing our readers?

Have been tracking medical pageviews for EN WP for more than 10 years. It appears our readership peaked around 2014, there was a bump during the pandemic, and now the fall in pageviews is continuing again... This despite much of our pageviews for medicine continuing to be related to the pandemic.

As I`m editor and admin on Macedonian Wikipedia, I was quite surprised that our Wikipedia actually continues to grow in terms of reading and having a stable editing base.
