The discussions about declining editor levels started to go quiet in mid 2015 after we noticed that numbers had started to rally at the end of 2014.
The numbers for English Wikipedia, you mean. For the next four largest wikis, only French has improved recently; for German the decline got slightly less steep around 2014 but still ongoing, Dutch has been in a pretty much linear decline since 2007 and Russian actually started to decline around 2014. https://imgur.com/a/OISNg
Many other wikis show the same pattern of decline. Also if you look at English Wikipedia new editor counts it's not hard to think that whatever caused the stabilization was a one-off event: https://imgur.com/a/SEN5e
