Membership/Numbers

Context

Prior to the appointment of Fundraising Manager in July 2012 no public report of membership numbers was made on a monthly basis. This was changed from August 2012 and had been included in Wikimedia UK's monthly movement reports. No formal reporting template was requested, and so the numbers presented have altered over time.

Following a request made by a community member it was agreed the charity would report membership numbers in a tabular format to try and make it easier to understand patterns of change from 1st December 2013.
