A lot of people don't play the tutorial seeing as it isn't all that helpful (and people often have an aversion to tutorials in general).
It looks like visitor numbers have finally stabilized after the release of the Old Gods.
The end result is an increase in visits by 50-60%, with an increase of 50% when it comes to unique visitors.
The average visit duration has gone down a bit (~10%), but this is well offset by the sheer increase in visits.
With the increase in visits we've also gained a number of new editors, but we still need more.
There are currently still 64 pages on the wiki that are considered outdated. If you want to help out, you can see the list here. Even ensuring only a single page on the list is up to date would be a major help.

We're making some progress when it comes to updating outdated pages, but there's still a lot left. I've just finished updating 10 pages for the Old Gods, but there are still 52 to go.
I've changed the category name from "Obsolete" to "Outdated" as that is more fitting, so the list can now be found here instead.
Any help is appreciated. If you update one page or 20 doesn't matter; every little bit helps.

I've created navboxes for the wiki, and every game mechanics page now has at least one navbox, with a few having two.
All the navboxes are featured on this page.
You can also see them all below:
Hopefully this will help people find what they're looking for, and also make them browse the wiki for longer.

I think before redoing the frontpage, the Guides category should be heavily cut down on. I think at least half the articles there can be merged into other articles, which would make things easier to organize in general.
Once that is done, reorganizing the frontpage should become the priority, and with less articles to deal with it should be an easier endeavor.
So if you want to help get the wiki to a stage where we can reorganize the frontpage, check out the guide category and see if there's anything you can merge into existing pages. Most of the articles taken from in In-depth Guide to CKII should probably be merged.
Yeah. Over time I've merged a few of them, most recently the Breeding guide into the main Breeding page.
With say, 10 less pages, and 10 more pages that are quite good, deciding what to feature on the main page becomes easier.
It seems the navboxes have already slightly increased the average visit time and # of pages per visit. Only by a few % so far, but it'll take a bit more time before any trend can establish itself.I've created navboxes for the wiki, and every game mechanics page now has at least one navbox, with a few having two.

There's now also a guides navbox:
I've also added several pages to the Merge category. These are mostly guides that might as well have their unique information merged into regular pages.
As such they're not included in the Guides navbox.

Nice, should help with the main page reorganization once we get to that point.I've created a reference guides page .. partly to help organise all of the various mechanics pages (and their duplicates), partly to help see where the duplicates are.
Next step, I'll start picking and merging - patience willing
16 pages in the Merge category, so get to it
You were being inefficient with the talk page, I thought it best to speed up the process
Nice work on the merge, thanks. Only 15 more pages to go.
As some have likely noticed, the wiki is currently suffering from technical issues. Sadly I do not know the cause, but I've contacted support.
As it looks like the issue might last a while, I'm using the downtime to patch the wiki software to a newer version. If we're extremely lucky that'll also fix the source of the high resource usage.

The downtime appears to be over now.
During it I managed to upgrade all my Paradox wikis. As the resource usage ended shortly after I finished the last upgrade it seems plausible that it may have had something to do with the older version of MediaWiki I was running (1.20.3 and 1.20.4; current version is 1.21.1).

Two more navboxes have been made, Patches and DLC:
As far as I know that should cover essentially all content pages. Though if there's something I've missed, please do tell.

There were several spam edits a day before I implemented the CAPTCHAs.
I'll try turning them off for registered users though to see if that affects spam in any way.
Yeah, the CAPTCHA should stop them from registering most of the time. A few will probably get through occasionally, but that can be cleaned up manually.
There, CAPTCHAs have now been turned off for all registered users.
They're still present at registration though, of course.

The NavBoxes have proven to be extremely successful:
In the 5 days since they were implemented, # of pages per visit has been 6 to 13% higher than 7 days earlier, with a value around 10% most of the time.
Average visit duration has been 10 to 28% higher, with a value around 20% most of the high.
The bounce rate (how many % leave after viewing a single page) has also gone down slightly, varying from 3 to 6% with a value around 4% most of the time.
So overall, a great success. It appears it's made it considerably easier for people to find things they're interested in as they now spend longer on each page, and also highlights pages they might never have noticed before as pages per visit are now higher, and the bounce rate a bit lower.
The next thing that should be interesting is the effect of redesigning the frontpage once we get to that stage. It will hopefully reduce the number of people who visit the front page and then leave by a considerable amount.

Right, so I'm planning to put up a front page of sorts for all the wikis, like Paradoxian has.
Any idea what I could call the wiki network? My best idea so far has been just "Paradox Wikis", but it's not the most exciting name ever.
