The sudden drop from 7000 to 2000 edits is due to the Wiki restructure. Individual episode pages counted as edits, and since they were removed, those edits no longer existed.

This isn't the first time "how do we increase views and edits" has been suggested. We can't get people to edit by simply opening social media. We don't get paid for doing this - it is our own free will to edit. I think the problem is simply that people don't want to edit, or they think that enough edits are being made so they don't really have to do anything.

It's hard to explain. Most views we're getting are coming from the "big" Yogscast pages. Say, popular Yogscast members. Most people would not know of smaller pages and therefore would not know how to contribute information. Those "big" pages are already fairly well maintained, and there is little room for editing anyway.
