Growth team newsletter #26

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

One million Suggested Edits

We passed the 1 million Suggested edits milestone in late April!

• The Suggested edits feature (AKA Newcomer tasks) increase newcomer activation by ~12%, which flows on through to increased retention. (source)
• Suggested edits increase the number of edits newcomers complete in their first two weeks and have a relatively low revert rate. (source)
• Suggested edits are available on all Wikipedia language editions.
• Newer Suggested edits, like Add a link and Add an image, aren’t yet deployed to all wikis, but these structured tasks further increase the probability that newcomers will make their first edit. (source)

Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement aims to encourage newcomers who have visited our homepage and tried Growth features to keep editing.

• The new Impact module was released to Growth pilot wikis in December 2022, and we are now scaling the feature to another ten wikis. [3]
• The Leveling up features are deployed at our pilot wikis.
• The Personalized praise features were deployed at our pilot wikis on May 24. Mentors at pilot wikis will start to receive notifications weekly when they have “praise-worthy” mentees. Mentors can configure their notification preferences or disable these notifications.

Add an image

• We are creating a new section-level variation of the “add an image” task. We have tested the accuracy of suggestions, and the development of this new task is well-underway. [4]

Other updates

• We are progressively releasing Add a link to more wikis. [5]
• After adding Thanks to Recent Changes, Watchlist and Special:Contributions, we investigated Thanks usage on the wikis. There is no evidence that thanks increased after the feature was added on more pages.
• We helped with code review for the 2023 Community Wish to add Notifications for user page edits. [6]
• We have been attending several community events, that we documented in our Growth’s Community events report.

What's next for Growth?

• We shared an overview of Growth annual planning ideas, and have started community discussion about these potential projects. We would love to hear your feedback on these ideas!

2023年第26期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其它语言的翻译版本。

最近更改

• Action API模块和Special:LinkSearch现在将为主域名的所有prop=extlinks响应添加尾随的/。这是删除外部链接数据库表中重复项工作的一部分。 [27]

问题

• 上周，维基共享资源和维基数据的搜索中断了23小时。 [28][29]

本周晚些时候的更新

• MediaWiki的新版本将于6月27日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于6月28日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于6月29日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。
• Minerva皮肤现在将更多预定义样式应用于.mbox-text CSS类。这可以支持使用div而不是表格的mbox模板。请确认新样式不会影响您所在的维基中的其它模板。 [30][31]
• 现在小工具将默认在桌面版和移动版加载。以前，默认情况下小工具仅在桌面版加载。使用|targets=参数更改此默认值的方式也已被弃用，不应使用。您应该根据皮肤（使用MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition中的|skins=参数）使小工具在移动版中运行或禁用它们，而不是根据用户是否使用移动网站或桌面版网站来禁用它们。作为临时解决方案，开发人员将在Minerva皮肤上禁用在移动版产生错误的常用小工具。 [32]
• 默认情况下，所有命名空间选项卡现在都具有相同的浏览器快捷键。以前，自定义和扩展定义的命名空间必须在维基上手动设置其快捷键，但现在不再需要了。 [33]
• 标记审阅修订版本的表单现在使用标准化的用户界面组件。 [34]

将来更新

• 解析器的HTML输出中媒体文件的结构将在未来几周内在第二组维基媒体项目中发生变化。此更改提高了内容的可访问性。您可能需要更新站点 CSS、用户脚本和小工具。点击这里了解要检查哪些代码、如何更新代码以及在哪里报告任何相关问题的详细信息。 [35]

2023年第28期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其它语言的翻译版本。

最近更改

• 章节级图像建议功能已部署在七个维基百科（葡萄牙语、俄语、印度尼西亚语、加泰罗尼亚语、匈牙利语、芬兰语和挪威博克马尔语）上。該功能會從使用者監視清單內的頁面中，以章節為單位推薦適當的圖像。
• 全域防滥用过滤器已在所有维基媒体项目上启用，英语維基百科和日语维基百科例外（這兩個wiki的社群選擇不引入全局滥用过滤器）。此更改是在征求全域意见之后做出的。 [38]
• Special:BlockedExternalDomains是帮助管理员反spam的新工具。它提供了一个更清晰的界面来阻止域名及子域名，更容易搜索，而且软件可以更快地处理维基上的每次编辑。它不支持正则表达式（以应对复杂的情况），不支持URL路径匹配，也不支持MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist，但它能取代现MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist的大部分功能。在该工具的说明文档中有一个Python脚本可帮助将所有简单的域名迁移到此工具中，还有更多功能的详细信息。除元维基、维基共享资源和维基数据外，所有维基均可使用该工具。 [39]
• 维基编辑器扩展已更新。本次更新包括维基文本编辑的一些最常用的功能。过去，它使用的许多介面消息只能由管理员翻译，但现在所有translatewiki上的普通翻译者都可以翻译它们。请检查WikiEditor 您的语言的本地化进度，如果您的语言的“完成度”显示低于100%，请协助翻译。点击查看详细信息。

本周晚些时候的更新

• MediaWiki的新版本将于7月11日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于7月12日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于7月13日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。
• Special:链接搜索和API响应部分的默认协议已从http更改为http和https。 [40]
• Special:链接搜索及其相应的API部分现在将搜索查询中提供的全部的URL。以前只有前60个字符。此功能是十五年前提出的要求。 [41]

将来更新

• 有一个ChatGPT插件的实验。这是为了向用户显示当他们从维基百科阅读信息时信息来自哪里。它已经过维基媒体基金会工作人员和一些维基人的测试。很快所有ChatGPT插件用户都可以使用该维基百科插件。这是2023年第20期技术新闻中提到的插件。 [42]
• 关于提议的第三方资源方针的讨论正在进行中。该提案将影响小工具和用户脚本中第三方资源的使用。根据迄今为止收到的反馈，方针包括加载第三方资源的用户脚本和小工具相关的风险、一些实践和豁免的要求，如代码透明度和可检查性。欢迎您在2023年7月17日之前在 方针讨论页面提供反馈和建议。

最近更改

• 目前1%的用户流量由Kubernetes平台提供服务（阅读本文以了解更多技术细节），我们计划定期逐渐提高这一比例。您可以在本工单追踪这一工作的进度。

• 在调用MediaWiki中的系统消息时，MediaWiki将不再使用软件定义的备选方案，而是会寻找存在的本地消息作为备选。这意味着已没有必要在备选链上对每种语言逐个覆盖。例如，在英文维基百科中，已经不再需要为en-ca、en-gb等语言创建嵌入了上层页面的子页面。这让维护本地覆盖的系统消息更加轻松。 [43]
• 新的MediaWiki版本将弃用action=growthsetmentorstatus API。调用该API的机器人或脚本现在应该使用action=growthmanagementorlist API。 [44]

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. [50]

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. [51]

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. [52]

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. [53]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [54]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [55]

2023年第37期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其它语言的翻译版本。

最近更改

• ORES，客观修订评估服务，现在在英语维基百科和维基数据之外的所有维基上使用新的开源基础设施。英文维基百科和维基数据将在本周跟进。如果您发现最近更改过滤器中有任何与ORES相关的异常结果（例如“贡献质量预测”和“用户目的预测”），请报告。 [82]
• 当您登录到一个维基媒体基金会下属的维基并访问另一个维基媒体基金会下属的维基时，系统会尝试自动登录。这在很长一段时间内都是不可靠的。您现在可以访问登录页面，让系统进一步尝试。如果你觉得这让登录变得比以前更好或更糟，请及时反馈，十分感谢。 [83]

本周晚些时候的更新

• MediaWiki的新版本将于9月12日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于9月13日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于9月14日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。
• The Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective team invites anyone involved in the technical field of Wikimedia projects to signup to and join one of their listening sessions on 13 September. Another date will be scheduled later. The goal is to improve the technical decision-making processes.

• The Enterprise API is launching a new feature called "breaking news". Currently in BETA, this attempts to identify likely "newsworthy" topics as they are currently being written about in any Wikipedia. Your help is requested to improve the accuracy of its detection model, especially on smaller language editions, by recommending templates or identifiable editing patterns. See more information at the documentation page on MediaWiki or the FAQ on Meta.

Growth team newsletter #28

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

Community Configuration, concept A: Accordion style

Community Configuration, concept B: Dashboard style

Community configuration 2.0

• Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
• Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
• Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.

IP Masking

• The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
• Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)

Mentorship

• We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
• We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
• Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.

Scaling Growth features

• We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
• We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
• At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.

Other news

• We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
• You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
• After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.
