The editor retention problem will not be solved with technological gizmos and doodads, nor with top-down solutions imposed from above. It will be solved with positive human contact and creating a collaborative community that people actually want to be a part of, rather than one that they put up with.
This makes my first RFBOT on the Italian Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot/Autorizzazioni/Archivio/2013#SamoaBot come to my mind. I was much less experienced than now, and ended up flooding Recent Changes. A bureaucrat threatened https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=56154161&oldid=56152222 to block me, and I even retired https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=56157910 for a day. But I was already 'addicted' to Wikipedia and came back soon after.
Thanks to that episode, I gradually became a quite experienced operator. But... how many users would have given up in my place?
