- Context
Calcification of policies and help pages has been detected as one of the factors that have led to a community decline in terms of the number of active editors since 2009. Given their long-term involvement and the lack of general indicators, many Wikipedians may not be aware of which policy and help pages have more readership, of their level of clarity, and the last time they were updated.
- Abstract (up to 100 words)
