[Epic] Growth: Copy edit
Open, MediumPublic

Description

As a logged in user with access to the Newcomer homepage, I want to have the opportunity to complete copy edit structured tasks, because this provides an opportunity to contribute in an easy but meaningful way.

Description

In order to support newcomers in their first edits, the Growth Team has been developing the Structured Tasks framework. Structured Tasks break down the editing process into smaller steps that are easily understood, easy to use on mobile devices, and can be guided by algorithms.

One particularly promising task is copyediting, i.e. improving the text of articles with respect to spelling, grammar, tone, etc. This is one of the number one structured tasks that communities have been asking for.

Event Timeline

Research work in underway, but Growth team work on this project isn't yet started.

@MShilova_WMF @KStoller-WMF should we also create a project tag, like #copy-edit for tasks associated with this project?

Moving this epic out of the current sprint as it has been deprioritized as we work on projects related to the WMF Annual Plan OKRs.
