Details on the queries I ran:
In March for a 26 day period before the change:
* 170,948 total edits [1]
* 169,845 non-anonymous edits [6]
** by 40,658 distinct users [7]
* 26,617 users completely their first ever edit [11]
* 9,528 errors [8]
* 219,012 accounts created on mobile [12]
For a similar 26 day period in April
* 263,986 total edits [2]
* 136,079 non-anonymous edits [4]
** by 26,823 distinct users [5]
* 15,109 users completely their first ever edit [10]
* 58,394 errors [9]
* 419,976 accounts created on mobile [13]
Like Anne, I also find your math incoherent.
Relative change is generally expressed ( (new_amount) - (old_amount) ) /
(old_amount)
Assuming the above numbers are the correct totals, then it would seem that:
* All edits up 54%
* Edits from logged in users down 20%
* Errors up 510%
* First edits by logged in users down 43%
* New account creation up by 92%
