Thanks James for correction!
But even excluding spiders, the figures are (nov-nov)
enwp 7,35-6,92 -6,9%
rest of world 7,78-781 +0,3 %
So the decline is not all over the place, and we should be careful not
to state the situation on enwp as general

Hey Anders
For some reason that stats page you link to defaults to all agent
types (ie including spiders and automated). If you just look at
users/humans you see a drop from
Nov 2024 15.1 B
to
Nov 2025 14.7 B
Nov 2016 16.9 B
So yes our readership has trended down a bit despite having more and
more content and the online population growing.

For certain topic areas like health the drop in readership is
significantly more profound.

When i look at the different language version most are up healthy, only
enwp shows a decrease of 6,3% nov-nov, but there the number of active
editors are up 8,7% an envy for most other versions showing a small
decrease of active editors.
Are we too focused on the tough discussions in US and miss the
world-wide successes of our movement? (and personally I believe that AI,
reusing and repacking our content, and things like Grokipedia is proof
of how central and accepted we have become)
