Scale: consider enabling Growth features for returning accounts
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

A returning account is:

  • an account created a while ago that have never been used (or has been used just for reading). Suddenly, their owner starts editing.
  • an account that made a few edits a while ago, and who resumes editing.

These accounts can be assimilated as newcomers. As a consequence, they would benefit from our features. This task is about thinking how we can offer our tools to these users and invite them to use them.

@Trizek-WMF I'm moving this to Triaged, but please change to another column/board as you see fit. Thanks!

It seems hard to differentiate between the conceptual equivalents of creation and autocreation here - what if an experienced user, who is continuously active on their home wiki, has visited some other wiki once years ago, and is now visiting it again?
