Description

This task tracks updates to the research.wikimedia.org landing page. Feel free to comment or edit the task description directly to add updates.

Process

General Suggestions for Adding Content

  • Publications [ https://research.wikimedia.org/publications.html ]
    • use the ACM citation export and add a DOI in clear at the end if available
    • make sure to also copy the relevant publications under the relevant program page and creating a potential recent updates item
  • Projects [ https://research.wikimedia.org/projects.html + subpages ]
    • consider adding new collaborators since the last update
    • create recent updates cards (news articles should be added to News section as well)
    • update the footer with new datasets, resources, videos
    • add the relevant publications (there should be one entry in the project page and one in the master list of publications).
    • the format we've been using is the one available from the ACM DL (Export format -> ACM Ref)

Next update

  • Trim "Recent updates" section for programs to just most recent 8?
  • Remove "Publications" section from programs and maybe add an icon on publications page instead for the program?
  • Remove "Resources and links" section from programs or come up with better way to keep them updated?

Change 691241 merged by jenkins-bot:

[research/landing-page@master] Paper / blurb updates on TREC, COVID-19 dataset, list-building, wiki-reliability, patrolling.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/691241

Turning in for the week but weirdly only one of the four changes in this patch seems to have actually gone live. Notably, after clearing caches, the publications page is updated but Knowledge Gaps / Integrity / Foundational are not. I'll send another patch next week to hopefully push through the changes if it doesn't fix itself.

To check:

These render as expected on my local copy of the repo.

Probably server side cache :)

@Isaac we just finalized the text of the Research Report No. 4. It would be great if you can support us with porting it to the site. It seems to me we should make a decision about how to surface this content in https://research.wikimedia.org/report.html . My suggestion is:

  • Make a subpage for report No 1 called report_no_1.html or some other norm that makes sense to you.
  • Move the content of report 1 to that page.
  • Similar to recent updates in a program page add a section in report.html called past reports and put a blurb/link to Report 1 from there.

This is a lot of asks for you. If you need support, please let me know.

(as a side-note, Fabian is looking into how we can make the editing of the site easier so we can take some of this work away from you.)

@leila updates should be going out shortly. I slightly tweaked language to "Apply for Research Funding" as that made a bit more sense to me but let me know if you'd rather I change it back.

@Isaac thanks a lot! (I was hoping you do whatever language edit you see appropriate. thanks for that, too!:)

@ELescak what would be your desired text for the WMF-RAY button?

It would look something like this:

Screen Shot 2022-12-09 at 1.45.46 PM.png (1×2 px, 374 KB)

Also @ELescak, and I'm just thinking out loud so feel free to reject, but while the easychair link is the most direct, I wonder if there's a destination that could provide more context? The current link I assume will redirect to a login page for most users and the form is pretty concise so doesn't have a whole lot of context. Perhaps instead linking to your email to wiki-research-l which has a bunch more context and the nominate link? Or maybe there's a section on a mediawiki page somewhere with details? Or maybe just adding a bit more context to easychair (though that won't solve the login challenge)?

Good points! Let's discuss during our 1:1 next week.

@Isaac thanks for continuing to keep an eye on the content and structure of the website on top of all the updates that you push through. I have some feedback for your proposed changes in the Next updates section:

  • Limiting the number of updates in "Recent updates". It makes sense to me to limit, it's way too long now and with some really old one. I suggest you limit them to 9 (b/c the most number of columns I get in one row when I stretch the screen is 3 and 9 may look better than 8;) or having a different rule such as keep only the updates from the past 6 or 12 months.
  • As you drop the old updates under "Recent updates", I wonder if it makes sense to drop them in a sub-page of the parent program with a Interested in past updates? Read our archives. and link to the sub-page. We can monitor the traffic to that page and if no-one is interested in them we drop them in some months?
  • w.r.t. Publications and Resources and links sections of each program: I see value in making that info available to the reader in the place that is topically related to their interest. I assume there are costs/issues in maintaining those sections. Can you expand more why you recommend dropping them?

@leila thanks for inputs. Thoughts below:

Limiting the number of updates in "Recent updates". It makes sense to me to limit, it's way too long now and with some really old one. I suggest you limit them to 9...

Ah yes, good point. Thanks!

As you drop the old updates under "Recent updates", I wonder if it makes sense to drop them in a sub-page of the parent program with a Interested in past updates? Read our archives. and link to the sub-page. We can monitor the traffic to that page and if no-one is interested in them we drop them in some months?

I'll see how much work that would be though I'm hesitant to create more pages to maintain. We do use the updates for certain details that don't make it permanent content otherwise (such as white papers / blogposts / datasets) so perhaps instead of creating a separate archive page we should e.g., broaden the publications section of each program to also include non-peer-reviewed publications to make sure we have a more permanent archive too of these things without having to click to another page?

w.r.t. Publications and Resources and links sections of each program: I see value in making that info available to the reader in the place that is topically related to their interest. I assume there are costs/issues in maintaining those sections. Can you expand more why you recommend dropping them?

That's reasonable. It's not a large overhead but I have to remember to not just add a new paper to the publications page but also the associated program pages where they're pretty buried towards the bottom. I was wondering if there was a way to simplify that down but I see your point about each program page being self-contained and the overhead is not too much so we can keep it as is.
