Introduction
[edit]The Portuguese Wikipedia community turned off IP editing from October 4, 2020 by a community vote. We published an impact report of turning off IP editing on the health of Portuguese Wikipedia based on the data by June 2021. It has been a year since our last analysis. We’d like to do a follow-up analysis to understand whether what we saw initially with the data matches up with a longer term observation.
In this report, we will go through the metric trends from July 2021 to June 2022, i.e. Foundation's 2021/2022 fiscal year and compare them with the observations in our previous analysis.
