Growth team newsletter #27

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Annual plan for Growth

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.

Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.

After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:

• Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
• Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.

Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.

Suggested edits

The new "Add an image" section-level task

We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.

Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [1]

Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorship

The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.

More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [2]

The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.

Positive reinforcement

We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.

In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.

Growth contributes to IP Editing migration

The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:

• the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
• change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [3]

Community Configuration 2.0

We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

• We are gathering internal Wikimedia Foundation teams' needs, so as community feedback. [4]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [5]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [6]

Peilingstekst aangepast

Dag Mbch331,

Op basis van enkele opmerkingen van de eerste paar stemmers heb ik mijn peiling nog wat toegespitst en aangepast. Er wordt nu niet alleen gesproken over een verplichting tot brongebruik in dit specifieke gebied, maar nu wordt ook de optie genoemd om een zeer sterke voorkeur te geven aan bronnen die wel voorzien zijn van een bronvermelding t.o.v. niet verifieerbare voorbeelden. Ik stuur je dit bericht zodat je (indien je dit wil/nodig acht) je stem nog kunt aanpassen. Hier een link naar de peiling. Mvg Vlaemink (overleg) 7 aug 2023 18:44 (CEST)

Verwijdering Moccamaster

Hallo, ik ontdek net dat jij onlangs de pagina Moccamaster hebt verwijderen, nadat die door iemand voor directe verwijdering was voorgedragen. Ik heb die pagina een tijd geleden aangemaakt, en ik vind het jammer dat ik niet de kans heb gekregen om te kijken of ik de inhoud aan jullie wensen aan kon passen. De Moccamaster is een Nederlandse designklassieker die wat mij betreft wel een plekje op Wikipedia verdient. Omdat de tekst nu helemaal is verdwenen kan ik ook niet beoordelen wat er misschien mis mee was. Is daar nog iets aan te doen? - Dinx (overleg) 17 aug 2023 15:49 (CEST)

Taxonbar wikidata

Hi Mbch331, je hebt zojuist het Doolhofschriftmos artikel aan zijn wikidata id gelinked. Daarbij is van= ... niet meer nodig op de Taxonbar-sjbloon. Mooi. Had ik dat zelf ook kunnen doen, en zo ja, hoe? (of vergt het speciale bevoegdheden op wikipedia of wikidata) Thx -- Kweetal nl (overleg) 22 aug 2023 12:14 (CEST)

Dat kan iedereen doen. Je moet het juiste item op Wikidata opzoeken (dat voorwerk had jij al gedaan) en daar bij sitelinks nl invullen en in het veld daarnaast de naam van het artikel op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia. Mbch331 (overleg) 22 aug 2023 12:18 (CEST)

Ah, dank je. Daar had ik zelf op moet komen...

Overigens, ik heb Overleg_sjabloon:Taxonbalk in gebruik genomen, ik hoop dat dat de juiste plek is. Voor de kwesties die ik daar aansnijd geldt eigenlijk ook, 'kan ik er zelf iets aan doen?'. Kweetal nl (overleg) 22 aug 2023 12:24 (CEST)

Vraagjes over Elmer (rapper)

Hoi! Ik zag dat je mijn nieuw artikel Elmer (rapper) bewerkte. Ik ben al lang actief op Wikipedia maar dit is de eerste keer in lange tijd dat ik een nieuw artikel heb geschreven, en de laatste keer dat ik dat deed was ook op de Engelstalige wiki, dus ik ben mogelijk niet meer bekend met alle conventies.

Ik zag dat je alle links naar Instagram als referentie verwijderde. Is het niet toegestaan de sociale media van de artiest zelf als bron te gebruiken? Ik weet dat reputabele bronnen als kranten in principe geprefereerd zijn (vandaar ook een hoop citaten uit krantenartikels), maar op haar Instagram geeft de artiest een hoop extra uitleg die ik nergens anders vind en die volgens mij ook relevant is (zoals bijvoorbeeld wie haar ep’s geproduceerd heeft).

Ook vroeg ik me af of het interlanguagelink-sjabloon (dat je ook weghaalde) hier niet toegestaan is? Dit ken ik van andere wiki's, en een link naar de Engelstalige wiki voor iemand die hier geen lemma heeft leek me wel relevant, gezien de meeste lezers van deze wiki waarschijnlijk ook Engels spreken.

Dank voor de info / relevante links alvast! —mountainhead / ? 22 aug 2023 14:41 (CEST)

Oh, ik zie nu net dat de interlanguagelink door iemand anders werd verwijderd, sorry! Maar mocht je weten hoe dat zit is info alsnog welkom! —mountainhead / ? 22 aug 2023 14:45 (CEST)

Instagram wordt niet als betrouwbare bron gezien, omdat het user generated content is. En het is een primaire bron. Ik heb in dit artikel geen {{ill}} verwijderd. Mbch331 (overleg) 22 aug 2023 14:45 (CEST)

Foutje bij plaatsen appendix ?

Ik vermoed dat deze bewerking een foutje was? Ik zal ´m zo ff corrigeren, mar dan weet je er iig van. Speciaal:MobielVerschillen/65366251 Sietske | _Reageren? 23 aug 2023 01:28 (CEST)

Die dubbele l was inderdaad fout. Weghalen id niet, want die komt van Wikidata. Mbch331 (overleg) 23 aug 2023 06:18 (CEST)

Ah, ik wist niet dat er titelherkenning in het sjabloon zat. Weer wat geleerd, dank! Sietske | _Reageren? 23 aug 2023 07:39 (CEST)

• Two preferences have been relocated. The preference "Schakel de visuele bewerker in" is now shown on the "Bewerken" tab at all wikis. Previously it was shown on the "Bètafuncties" tab at some wikis. The preference "Gebruik de wikitekst-modus in de visuele tekstverwerker, in plaats van een andere wikitekst-tekstverwerker" is now also shown on the "Bewerken" tab at all wikis, instead of the "Bètafuncties" tab. [23][24]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 August. It will be on all wikis from 31 August (calendar).
• New signups for a Wikimedia developer account will start being pushed towards idm.wikimedia.org, rather than going via Wikitech. Further information about the new system is available.
• All right-to-left language wikis, plus Korean, Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian Wikipedias, will have a link in the sidebar that provides a short URL of that page, using the Wikimedia URL Shortener. This feature will come to more wikis in future weeks. [25]

Future changes

• The removal of the DoubleWiki extension is being discussed. This extension currently allows Wikisource users to view articles from multiple language versions side by side when the <=> symbol next to a specific language edition is selected. Comments on this are welcomed at the phabricator task.
• A proposal has been made to merge the second hidden-categories list (which appears below the wikitext editing form) with the main list of categories (which is further down the page). More information is available on Phabricator; feedback is welcome!

Wikidata weekly summary #591

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • Closed request for permissions/Bot: TiagoLubianaBot 2 (Task: The Open Targets Platform is an important biomedical resource that makes its data available under a CC0 license waiver. The request at hand is to extend the permissions of User:TiagoLubianaBot to import information from Open Targets, initially with a focus on physical interactions between proteins and drugs.)

• Events
  • Ongoing: Weekly Lexemes Challenge #107, Teeth (Challenge started on 2023-08-28 12:01:31)
  • Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour August 28, 2023. We will cover adding the articles from our bibliography of diverse LIS resources that we created in our last session to Wikidata! We will learn how to use Zotero, the reference management software, and its browser plugin to automatically extract metadata for articles and convert them to a Wikidata format that can be batch uploaded using QuickStatements. To get a sneak preview of what we will be doing, you can learn more about the Wikidata & Zotero link here: Wikidata:Zotero. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page.
