Methodology

The non-default skin status is pulled from user_properties schema for enwiki. Additionally, we consider the global preference, which can override the skin setting on a local wiki. The global skin preference is pulled from the global_preferences schema in the centralauth database.

Both skin preference and global preference reflect the status as of the data collection date, which is September 28, 2023.

The Vector-2022 was deployed on English Wikipedia at 15:30 on 2023-01-18 (UTC). Editors are pulled from wmf.mediawiki_history schema. We focus on the non-bot users who have made a minimum of 1/5/40 content edits on enwiki after the deployment (between 2023-01-19 and 2023-08-31).

Please note that none of the three editor groups mentioned here are identical to the active editors group that we use for measuring core product metrics. The product core metric for active editors is defined as the number of registered users who have made at least 5 content edits across all projects in the given month. (ref: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Product/Data_glossary). For this analysis, edits are counted exclusively for enwiki.
