Wait - removing the captchas lead to a decrease of reverted edits in terms
of absolute numbers? Woot? Anyone has an explanation for that?

The recent community initiative with the highest
impact I can think of is
surely what Platonides and other members of the global (technical)
community did on pt.wiki. Platonides noticed a configuration error on
pt.wiki: CAPTCHA was required for all edits since 2008. The error was fixed
in April.

Fresh stats produced by the WMF show that in May and June this produced a
decrease of overall vandalism (or rather, of reverted edits) with a
shocking +58 % increase of productive edits by IPs and +23 % for registered
users. It seems pt.wiki may see the end of the decline after many years. :)

Discussion is ongoing on how pt.wiki will address this growth. Part of the
community may think that "nao estamos preparados para crescer".
