Ronnie, The reported –21.23% drop seems to be based on a comparison of the December 2021 figure (4,970,053 edits) to the January 2021 figure (6,309,228 edits):
4,970,053/6,309,228 = 78.77% (so the reduction from January 2021 to December 2021 is 100% – 78.77% = 21.23%). However, highlighting this figure in the English Wikipedia "Edits" box as "64M↓ –21.23% year over year"[1] makes no sense whatsoever as far as I can see. As you correctly observe, according to the monthly figures shown, the number of edits actually increased by 4% or so in 2021 compared to 2020. If Ronnie and I are missing something here, please let us know ...
