User story & summary:

As a new editor, I want to add my Impact module, so that I can show off my impact.

Background & research:

This task is important because it may help with newcomer retention:

From Design Research: Positive reinforcements to sustain contributions:

Research on online communities indicates people are more likely to start participating if they see that their work will be seen, and in turn engender a sense of connection. Ling et al similarly found people more likely to contribute early on if:

• They believe their effort is important to the group’s performance [Impact]
• They believe their contributions to the group are identifiable [Identity / Recognition]
• They like the group they are working with. [Social]

Questions:

Should we start with sharing to userpage, or sharing elsewhere online?
Are we prompting this from the Impact module or the User page or both?
Should there be a "share" call to action from the Impact Module? (Share to userpage to start, share externally perhaps eventually?)
Should there be some other sort of call to action? (Perhaps "share" isn't quite right)
Should there be a call to action to add your Impact Module from the user page?
Should we consider a notification to suggest this action for users with a blank user page at after ~5 edits?

Considerations:

• We would only want this prompt to display after 1 or more mainspage edits (AKA we don't want to prompt to share the empty state of the impact module).
• The design might also function as educational: the homepage is private, the userpage is public (since some newcomers don't understand this T341195: Clarify in GrowthExperiments Homepage that email addresses are not public.
• How automated should this be? Should we provide a copy-able code snippet to add to a user page so that this is also helping educate newcomers on how to edit the wikis?

Design:

We'll have a 'Share' CTA on the Impact Module (see mock-up below)

Once the Share button is clicked, a dialog will open up with two options: copying a code snippet to paste on the user's userpage, or copying a link to Special:Impact for sharing outside of Wikipedia (see mock-up below).

Ideally, and if possible from the Engineering side, we could have a preview of the module when the Impact link is shared outside of Wikipedia.
