It does not seem to be possible to make a graph of editors trends in Wikistats 2.0, especially for new editors. The current [[ https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm | Wikipedia Statistics English ]] has a column (B) for new editors. Still note that the current definition from the old wikistats is a bit confusing. It seems like the Wikistats 2.0 focus on technical differences, aka bot or real user (Split by editor type), but for the community it is more important to know the trends for active editors. How many new editors are there, how does editors become more active, what makes them go to lower activity. It is especially important to identify changes in editor retention. How many has been active previous three months that hasn't been active last three months. It could be better to use one year averages as that would remove some noise.

It could be better to use one year averages as that would remove some noise, but that makes the changes show up very slowly. Shorter averages should be a multiple of weeks to suppress noise. {F13296650} In this example the red graph is a one year average, and the yellow graph is a one year difference over the average.
