This task involves the work of publishing a page on mediawiki.org that equips volunteers across the Movement with the context they need to understand, and provide feedback on, how the Editing Team is proposing to evaluate the impact of the suite of Usability Improvements.
Stories
- As an experienced volunteer who is motivated to ensure that any changes to how talk pages appear are likely to have a positive impact on how people understand and engage with these pages, I need to be able to understand how the team that is responsible for [potentially] deploying these changes is planning to evaluate their impact, so that I can propose modifications to these evaluation plans to ensure they more align with how I've come to understand how people depend on talk pages.
Page contents/Requirements
The sub-page of mw:Talk pages project/Usability that this task is "asking" for ought to equip volunteers with answers to the following questions:
- Why this work was prioritized?
- What changes will these experiments be evaluating?
- What issues were these changes intended to address?
- How is the Editing Team proposing to evaluate the impact these changes are having?
- How can I, a volunteer, propose changes/provide input on how we'll evaluate the impact of these changes?
