There are three requests to demote the following legacy browsers to "basic support" (no JavaScript) in the next release of MediaWiki, which is coming up in a week. I've been looking at reports in Turnilo and my current recommendation is that we should not make any changes that impact user experience at this time due to increased traffic starting at the end of Feb (perhaps due to world news).

I could use some help to validate this, because I have been getting questions around confirming the following:

• The spike in traffic we're seeing at the end of Feb is not part of a known traffic pattern (maybe views go up at the end of the month?)
• The reports below represent human beings, as user agent is "user"
• Outliers from the reports below at the end of Feb (such as the spike in traffic from India from IE 9/10, and Firefox 27-38) are not limited to just those browsers (i.e. traffic is up across the board and there isn't an anomaly in the legacy browsers related to something else)

If you are able to provide any additional information around user behaviors such as reading/editing, that would also be very helpful (I wasn't able to get this from Turnilo). Thank you!
