The study of the effects of no IP editing strongly reiterated this conclusion based on the data: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation/IP_Editing_Restriction_Study/Portuguese_Wikipedia Portuguese Wikipedia is largely dominated by Brazilians. Brazil has some of the highest social media use per capital in the world, so part of the underlying reality is that PT Wikipedia users are probably unusually willing to sign up for new services. This probably explains why in Portuguese making people sign up didn’t result in fewer unreverted edits, whereas when we tried even *suggesting* IP editors should sign up in other wikis, it didn’t work: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Value_of_IP_Editing#Past_trials_of_this_idea_were_damaging For starting a new general knowledge wiki, it’s a terrible idea to require registration if you want to actually grow. > > On Sun, Sep 17, 2023 at 11:52 PM WereSpielChequers > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Yesterday they had less than a hundred edits from just 6 individuals. > The English language Wikipedia had around 150,000 edits.
