Wikispooks is only very occasionally reported by commercially-controlled media.
2021
In 2021, most editors have concentrated on improving the quality of existing pages rather than adding new ones. The year saw a steady rise in both average visit length and #page views/visit.
November
Wikispooks website is down for a few days.
20 October
A look at average visit time since monthly shows that average visit length is now just under 4 minutes, almost twice what it was in November 2019.
24 September
Until 2021, actions/visit was generally less than 3, and never more than 4. Commensurate with this year's focus on improving page quality, today had an unprecedented 4.7 actions/visit.
4 August
The site now has 10,000 pages with descriptions. (Only 15,000 to go ...) Descriptions are particularly useful, since they automatically appear in multiple pages, so adding one description can improve many pages at once.
26 July
As if to underline yesterday's thought, the site was offline for 8 hours after an unidentified technical problem believed unrelated Cyber Polygon.
25 July
Today the proportion of pages with a description passed 40%, for the first time ever. Congratulations all round![1] The backup file reached 10GB today, which is not all that big nowadays - all supporters are encouraged to download regular backups in case the site goes offline for any reason, which looks not unlikely in these uncertain times.
10 July
The live statistics revealed censorship by Google, steadily increasing over the last few years, now at record levels - more visitors from DuckDuckGo than Google, probably for the first time ever.
1 July

21 June
For the first time in many years, the proportion of stub pages on the site went below 50%, at around 11,500 pages!
17 February
The proportion of pages with a description surpassed 1/3 for the first time ever.[2]
January
The site had 84170 visitors in January, after which it was subjected to increasing censorship by Google.
2020
The site's bounce rate, consistently from 70-72% since 2014, began to gradually decline into the high 60s as editors focused less on increasing pagecount, more on completing existing pages.
After 10 years at the helm, User:Peter announced his retirement, passing control of the site to User:Robin, who set up a page on Patreon to crowdfund the site. As COVID-19 came to dominate the news agenda of commercially-controlled media, traffic went up to the site, which received 1.085 million visits in 2020.
26 June
Buy the "first they ignore you" dictum, Wikispooks advances to stage #2 with an article from Business Insider, which was published without contacting anyone from the website, entitled Conspiracy-theory encyclopedia Wikispooks is thriving during the coronavirus pandemic, seeing huge traffic gains from search engines.[3]
26 May
Exactly 10 years since the site went online, it experienced its busiest week ever after renewed interest in Lori Klausutis. A new daily record of 8900 visitors on 24 May was broken on 26 May when the site saw 9598 visitors.
10 May

31 January
Searches on "Eric Ciaramella" lead to the busiest day on record, with 8300 unique visitors.[4]
