Two updates:

• On Friday this week, Marshall will present the Growth prototypes to the Polish community at the Polish Wikiconference.
• Legal gave the go for the deployment.

Interface translation is done. Probably needs testing, but I finished all yesterday/today 🙂. Edit: just as a note - I just run the final mile. Did not want to suggest I did it all by myself 😊

For your information, I'm on vacation until July 22. If you have any question about the tools, please ask @MMiller_WMF!

Thank you for making this last run! :)

Hello! Any updates since the last time?

This is all done:

• Translate the interface (on translatewiki.net, needs a specific account)
• Translate the documentation
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Focus on help desk/Help panel (resource for newcomers)
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Growth/Tools and subpages (resource for mentors and newcomers)
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Communities/How to work with newcomers on help desks (resource for mentors)
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Communities/How to introduce yourself as a mentor (resource for mentors)

Translate aliases:

• Special:Homepage → Strona domowa
• Special:WelcomeSurvey → Ankieta powitalna
• Special:Impact → Wpływ
• Special:ClaimMentee → Wybierz nowicjusza

Manual of style (Q4994848): https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomoc:Styl_%E2%80%93_poradnik_dla_autor%C3%B3w. More or less... We don't have such a large compendium as enwiki, but should be enough for beginners.

Tutorial (Q915263) -- this seems wrong. It links to a historical tutorial.

Our first steps page is here: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomoc:Pierwsze_kroki

We don't have a separate tutorial or a page about updating articles. Are these blockers?

Sorry for the very late reply, my schedule is a bit packed these days!

The Homepage suggests to users to read a page that explains what Wikipedia is and how it works. Any page is fine, as far as it is not cal for action (like https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomoc:Pierwsze_kroki does).

I rely on your expertise. Plus, you will be able to change this page later if needed.

In that case lets start with our Five pillars page. The page is simple and has links to other articles that dive deeper.

As I understand this will be changeable here (once deployed):
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json

Change 625958 had a related patch set uploaded (by Catrope; owner: Catrope):
[mediawiki/extensions/GrowthExperiments@master] Add special page aliases for Polish (pl)

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/625958

@Nux or other Polish speakers, could you please help me with the labels (text) for the links to the help pages? I've tried guessing, but I don't speak Polish so I've probably gotten it wrong. Here's how the list of links would be displayed to users with my guesses, please tell me what to change these to:

• Styl
• Edytowanie
• Przypisu
• Nowy artykuł
• Illustrowanie

Also note that the Wikidata item listed as the learn more link for "update article" (Q4664141) doesn't have a plwiki page, so that task will not have a "learn more" link (this is fine, if there is no appropriate page to link to). As you noted, this can be changed at https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:NewcomerTasks.json (which I've now created).

Change 625963 had a related patch set uploaded (by Catrope; owner: Catrope):

Thanks for the spelling/grammar corrections! An additional question for @PMG or @Nux: are these the link labels you'd expect to see in a list of help pages, or should they be longer than single words? For example, in English, the labels are things like "How to add an image", but not every language/culture uses long sentences like that.

Hi, Roan. I think a slightly longer version is a good idea 🙂.

• [[Pomoc:Styl – poradnik dla autorów|Poradnik dla autorów]]
• [[Pomoc:Edytowanie|Edytowanie]]
• [[Pomoc:VisualEditor#Tworzenie_nowego_przypisu|Jak dodać przypis]]
• [[Pomoc:Jak napisać nowy artykuł||Jak napisać nowy artykuł]]
• [[Pomoc:Ilustrowanie|Ilustrowanie artykułów]]

Thanks @Nux! I've updated the config patch to include these link labels.

The patch with the special page aliases will ride next week's deployment train (wmf.9, Sept 15-17), so I'm going to schedule the deployment enabling the Growth features on plwiki for the following Monday, September 21 at 18:00-19:00 UTC.
