First off, cheers for pointing that out Elite, Never knew that existed.

Secondly, whilst some of those views are probably just edits, reloads and forum viewing which don't really count, i'd think that those views wouldn't add up to such an large amount considering we currently only have 71 registed, active users. Even if that is the case, then i'd still say that still points out that there are at the very least 1 or 2 thousand people who could become editors with some clear encouragement.

Let's be honest here, the wiki has been on the quite slow but still noticeable decline in both views and edits since around September of 2013 when we had the first 'A-Team Crash' as I like to call it. Ever since then, according to the general wiki statistics (See below all of the text) we've never had beyond 2,300 edits, whereas between October 2012 and September 2013, we were getting at the lowest 2,022 edits but at the highest, just under 7,000 edits.

Another thing to look at in the general wiki statistics is the Registered editors section. According to it, we had an average of 85 registed users in December, however, only 18 of those editors made more than 5 edits and only 3 of them made over 100 edits. Since these statistics will count A-Team members, there going to be a little higher than normal however, this does mean that in December only 21% of our registed userbase made more than 5 edits (less than 20% if you don't count A-Team members) and it's highly likely that the 3 people who made over 100 edits were A-Team members, so under the chance of likelyhood, I'd say none of our normal registed users made over 100 edits.

This is something that I've been concerned for a while now, hence why I've re-opened the wiki's Facebook page, the Newsletter series and the Steam group in order to try and get current, active people to edit more often and/or attract new editors to the wiki. The only idea I have currently is to reopen the Twitter page although, the issue is i'm not entirely sure if re-opening these sites are making in impact. I mean, if you look at the Facebook page's average post reach, it's usually somewhere between 15-50 people, which for a page with 200 likes doesn't seem bad until you look at some of the very first posts of that page, which somehow attaining 5-8 thousands people seeing them. I'd say it's highly likely that someone boosted those posts by paying Facebook, but that would mean someone was paying around £40/40$ per post to boost them to those levels of viewing.

Again, if anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears.
