Great work Shiju.
Keep it up.

From this chart analysis it seems that more people must have been searching for content in Nepali Wikipedia and these users might have been sent to Nepali Wikipedia from the search engines. Obviously users might have been expecting articles in Nepali Wikipedia as well.

This is a good sign. Some of these users become potential contributors.

@Vssun, I noticed this. But I am not sure whether this is a problem with the incorrect data or some other reason. This is unusual especially considering the increase in the traffic in non-mobile category.

@Nasir Khan, Thanks for pointing the error. Not sure how I overlooked that. Now that is updated.

Hi Shiju,

thank you very much for the report. I am glad to see that you are continuing again. I am from Bengali Wikipedia and it is inspiring for us that Bengali Wiki is doing well in some of the parameters.

As i understand from the report table that the super script numbers shows the top 3. In the “Quality of Projects” section the Bengali Wikipedia should be at the top at the “Edits per article” column.

thanks again for your effort.

Shiju,

Did you notice the decrease in mobile traffic for almost all wikis? Is there any problem with the data?
