If I'm not mistaken though, the activity on Wiki is still much lower than what it was in the 2000s and is still slowing down.
Apparently Wikimedia is looking for ways to encourage more editors. Though I could be wrong.
Coverage on Wikipedia's decline has been disappearing

Yes. And it is collapsing the fastest it has ever been outside of the post-Essjay scandal fallout.
Yes and they are DESPERATE. They are spending huge amounts of money for very little return. Very few people edit and even fewer stick around, and most of them eventually leave because of the toxicity.
Wikipedia is experiencing a toxicity spiral and it's only going to get worse. The more toxic Wikipedia gets, the more non-toxic people leave, thus making the average editor even more toxic. The second most toxic editors are the ones who vote in RfA's, secondly only to the admins they are electing. Those admins intern push out more editors speeding up the cycle even more.
