I'd expect en:WP's to follow much the same peak-and-decline as the 100+ edits, but I don't know enough about de:WP's typical editing practices to venture a guess there. Interestingly, one of the "selling points" of FR has been the likelihood of increasing the editor base, presumably of editors who carry out 100+ edits a month. The de:WP experience seems to contradict that, which I admit surprises me. Perhaps that is one metric to take off the table when evaluating the effects of PC on en:WP.
