It was decided by the Growth-Team to stall the deployment until VisualEditor comes out of beta, as enabling it unilaterally could have unexpected impacts on the community. Unassigning and moving off sprint.

Can someone explain about it more?

Certainly! Sorry for confusing you. Unilateral decisions made by the Wikimedia Foundation (ie. without community agreeing to it) often cause community-crisis, which is something we really don't want to do. Having visual editor enabled for everyone is a requirement to get Growth features deployed to a wiki. Since Chinese Wikipedia currently has visual editor only as a beta feature, the deployment of Growth features cannot happen now.

For that reason, we decided to stall this deployment until visual editor is promoted out of beta at Chinese Wikipedia, as turning it on without Chinese Wikipedia community consensus could cause a crisis. "enabling it unilaterally could have unexpected impacts on the community" was an euphemism to say that.

If Chinese Wikipedia wishes to enable visual editor for everyone, that'd be great, and it would allow this task to go forward.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for your explanation. Fully understand.

「声明新用户」may not be an accurate translation for "Claim (a) Mentee". 「主页」could be confused with the regular Main Page, since Wikipedia:主页 redirects to Wikipedia:首页 (the Main Page) on zhwiki.

@Urbanecm_WMF May I confirm that once we reach consensus that VisualEditor be moved out of beta, the whole deployment process would move forward?

Maybe we rename 「声明」 to 「抢单」 or something similar? As for 「主页」, maybe something like 「用户中心」 would be accurate?

Indeed.

「認領新手」is better; 「新手首頁」is better, as the interface is already using this term.

matmarex mentioned this in T93388: Enable VisualEditor by default for all users of all "phase 7" Wikipedias.Nov 4 2021, 4:08 PM

A ticket T296269 has been sent to enable VisualEditor. We still need some time to settle on the translation of Growth so please don't be too haste to deploy Growth.

@MilkyDefer, thank you for informing us!

Have you heard about the mentoring system the Growth team offers? It is a way for newcomers to get a connexion on wiki with an experienced user. This experienced user can help the newcomers if they have a question about editing.
You can read more about it at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Communities/How_to_configure_the_mentors%27_list

If you think this mentoring system would be a nice to have feature, I invite you to inform your community about it.

Of course I remain available if you have any question regarding our features.

It's not strictly needed for dark mode deployment, as only interested users will see the features now. It will definitely be done before it's deployed to newcomers (see T296269).

@Trizek-WMF The features are now available to newcomers.

Checked - all looks as expected.
Note:
The translated aliases do not re-direct to the respective pages, e.g. Special:WelcomeSurvey displays the correct page, but Special:欢迎调查 says that the page cannot be found.
