I don't have figures. But I have experience.
I am sure that people such as Pippu d'Angelo will be able to testify for you how much more engrossing it is to edit Wikipedia, and how much easier it is to proliferate, than Wiktionary.
Wiktionary is a record of language; Wikipedia is a record of everything else using language as a medium.
People who love to write will obviously enjoy Wikipedia more as there is more opportunity for long articles.

Well Mark, I am sure you have figures on that. You have obviously done loads of research on this. Or you prefer as usual to have Wikipedias. That is in itself fine but please leave off with spreading FUD. Thanks, GerardM

Why would we start a Tetum Wiktionary first? Wiktionaries generally don't hold new contributors as well.

Yes, re-writing the string comparator in PHP...
- Is there a wikipedia for Tetum, the official language of the
newest member of the United Nations, East Timor?
Not sure^H^H^H^H^H yet. The article on en: [[Tetum language]] doesn't have ISO 639 -1, -2 or SIL codes. It's listed in [[ISO 639]] as "tet" for -3.
It would probably be best to start a Tetum wiktionary first...
