Additionally, pandemic 2020 with a lot of lockdowns makes many people commit to different activities, among them starting editing on Wikipedia or reading more. Basically, in my opinion it is better to compare with 2019 numbers. Also, it will be useful to have some kind of survey about this which can give us a better overview of these data.

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.

All the best,

Toni

There's another option: the 2020 pandemic lockdowns made a huge peak on views, so year on year, 2021 has worse results.

2022(e)ko urt. 7(a) 18:41 erabiltzaileak hau idatzi du (Anders Wennersten <mail@anderswennersten.se>):

When I look at statistics for mature wikipedias: en, de pl, nl they all
show a decrease of views of 13-15% in last 12 months from a year ago,
and number of active editors down 10- 20 % (with exception of en).

Has this been analysed somewhere, are we losing our readers and
contributors or is it mostly Google that access our info "smarter" not
creating "views"
