Wikipedia:WikiProject Editing trends

Welcome to WikiProject Editing trends. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration group to track and explain editing trends on Wikipedia. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

 * Compile and catalog statistics on editing trends that occur on Wikipedia
