As far as I remember, yes—the rate of account creation, making more than
one edit, and the percentage of unreverted edits was higher than in other
methods. I think this is a spectacular result and a completely unexpected
source for the new editors.

I realize this is the smallest footnote of a long and significant update,
but: does this mean *3% of donors* who saw a thank-you note inviting them
to edit went on to make an account and at least one unreverted edit? 3% of
all donors is almost as many new editors as we get each year. That's
spectacular, staggering, superb. Let's please see how this scales in
various dimensions.

We heard from the Advancement team about donor thank-you page changes
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Newcomer_experience_projects#Scaling_the_new_donor_Thank_you_page_to_English_Wikipedia>,
which invited donors to edit and yielded 4,398 new user accounts being
created [8
