Description

Goal

To analyze number of users using each available skin on enwiki as a part of post-deployment analysis for Vector 2022 metrics on English Wikipedia.

Analysis methodology will be similar to that in the previous analysis of determining number of logged-in editors using each skin on English Wikipedia. T316884. One caveat in this analysis is that global preference is not counted in. T327561

Accepted criteria

all registered users
all editors
active editors

Skin status of editors on English Wikipedia

Below table summarized the skin status on 2023-01-25 in percentage of the editors who edited on content pages at least once on English Wikipedia between 2022-01-01 and 2022-12-31.

Skin Name	Number of editors	Percentage of editors
vector-2022	576739	91.84%
vector	32585	5.19%
monobook	13206	2.10%
timeless	2579	0.41%
minerva	1213	0.19%

Skin status of active editors on English Wikipedia

Below table summarized the skin status on 2023-01-25 in percentage of the editors who edited on content pages at least 5 times on English Wikipedia between 2022-01-01 and 2022-12-31. Compared to the table of all editors, the proportion of vector skin among active editors is higher.

Skin Name	Number of editors	Percentage of editors
vector-2022	170523	88.12%
vector	15767	8.15%
monobook	5191	2.68%
timeless	1008	0.52%
modern	480	0.25%
minerva	379	0.20%
cologneblue	163	0.08%

Skin status of all registered users on English Wikipedia

Below table shows the skin status on 2023-01-25 in percentage of the all registered users on English Wikipedia. This measurement over-estimates the percentage of default skin. Because most registered users have no chance to visit English Wikipedia and explore vector-2022 after the deployment on 2023-01-18. It's possible that some of them would like to opt out the new skin vector-2022 if they are exposed to it.

This seems a different definition of 'active editor' than stats.w.o uses. Could someone calculate the % for the traditional definition of active & very active editors? (5 & 100 edits/month)

jwang moved this task from Next 2 weeks to Doing on the Product-Analytics (Kanban) board.

From T328088#8573021 it looks like 15% of editors who made 1 edit since 1/18, and 23% of editors making 5+ edits since 1/18, have opted out.

I'd welcome any data on very active editors (100+ edits/mo) to align w/ other historical data.
