Onderwerp toevoegenGrowth team updates #16[brontekst bewerken]
Welcome to the sixteenth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
Growth features show impact[brontekst bewerken]
Newcomer task experiments results
The team recently published our analysis of the impact of newcomer tasks. We are happy to announce that we found that the Growth features, and particularly newcomer tasks, lead to increased editing from newcomers.
In November 2019, the Growth team added the "newcomer tasks" feature to the newcomer homepage. After six months, we collected data from Arabic, Vietnamese, Czech, and Korean Wikipedias. We analyzed the overall impact of the Growth features, including newcomer tasks.
This analysis finds that the Growth features lead to increases in:
- the probability that newcomers make their first article edit (+11.6%)
- the probability that they are retained as editors
- the number of edits they make during their first couple of weeks on the wiki (+22%)
We also find that the quality of their edits, as measured by revert rate, is comparable to that of a control group.
-
The number of suggested edits completed by each wiki each week, going from December 2019 to November 2020, with a line for the total.
-
The number of distinct users completing suggested edits by each wiki each week, going from December 2019 to November 2020.
Because of these results, we think all Wikipedias should consider implementing these features. Learn more about how to get them.
You can find more details about this experiment on the report page. Please post any feedback or questions on the talk page
General metrics
As of November 2020, across all wikis where the features have been deployed:
- more than 5,000 newcomers have made more than 40,000 edits using Newcomer tasks.
- more than 14,000 questions have been sent to volunteer mentors by more than 11,000 users.
- more than 2,000 questions have been asked on help desks by more than 1,500 users.
Learn more about Growth results here, and please post any feedback or questions on the talk page.
Variants C and D[brontekst bewerken]
Variants C and D are two new arrangements of the newcomer homepage. We deployed them in October. After six weeks of these variants being deployed, we can see that they have led to increased interactions with newcomer tasks. Next, we will determine which variant is best and use that for all newcomers.
News for mentors[brontekst bewerken]
A separate list for workshops hosts
During workshops organized by education programs through the communities, workshops hosts like to mentor people they train on wiki. Several wikis requested to have a way to claim their mentees without having other newcomers being randomly being assigned to them. To address this need, a separate list can be created on wiki, for mentors that wish to claim mentees, but prefer not to have random mentees being assigned to them. Learn more about this feature.
Claiming multiple mentees at once
Mentors can use Special:ClaimMentee to claim a newcomer as their mentee. The feature now allows mentors to claim multiple newcomers at once.
Community news[brontekst bewerken]
The help panel allows people to post a message to the local help desk while editing. Previously, the tool always posted messages to the bottom of help desks. Wikis are now able to configure it to display new messages at the top of the help desk page. T261714

Het laatste technieuws van de technische gemeenschap van Wikimedia. Niet alle wijzigingen hebben een merkbaar effect op alle projecten. Meer vertalingen zijn beschikbaar.
Recente wijzigingen
- Zoals aangekondigd in week 40 is het nu mogelijk om pagina's op je volglijst zetten met een houdbaarheidsdatum. Op sommige wiki's kon dit al eerder. [1][2]
Wijzigingen later deze week
- Informatie van Wikidata die in gebruik is op een wiki pagina kan getoond worden in "Recente wijzigingen" en volglijsten op Wikimedia wiki's. Om dit in te schakelen moet je "Wikidata-bewerkingen op mijn volglijst/in recente wijzigingen weergeven" aanzetten in je voorkeuren voor recente wijzingen en de voorkeuren voor je volglijst. Wijzigingen in de Wikidata beschrijving in de taal van een Wikimedia wiki zullen dan getoond worden in "Recente wijzingen" en je volglijst. Wijzigingen in talen die niet relevant zijn voor jouw wiki worden niet getoond. [3][4]
- De nieuwe versie van MediaWiki zal op 8 december uitgerold worden op testwiki's en op MediaWiki.org. De nieuwe versie zal op 9 december uitgerold worden op sommige Wikipedias en alle projecten die geen Wikipedia zijn. Op 10 december zal de nieuwe versie op alle overige projecten uitgerold worden. (kalender)
Toekomstige wijzigingen
- Je kan vanaf 8 december tot 21 december stemmen op de voorstellen in de Enquête over de verlanglijst van de gemeenschap 2021. Het Community Tech team gebruikt deze input om te bepalen waar ze aan gaan werken.

{{Bron?}}
sjabloon kan gebruikt worden wanneer een statement in een artikel op Wikipedia een bron nodig heeft. Als je daarop klikt in de visuele tekstverwerker krijg je een popup die dat uitlegt. Nu kan deze popup ook de reden laten zien en wanneer het bronverzoek is toegevoegd. [6]

- Sommige wiki's gebruiken LanguageConverter om te schakelen tussen schriften of taalvarianten. Dit is nu alleen mogelijk voor de gehele pagina, maar er komt een
<langconvert>
tag waarmee een deel van de pagina kan worden omgezet. [7] - Oversighters and stewards kunnen zaken in Special:AbuseLog verbergen. Begin januari kunnen ze meerdere zaken tegelijk verbergen met vinkjes, vergelijkbaar met hoe normale bewerkingen kunnen worden verborgen. [8]
