User story & summary:
As a new editor, I want to receive suggestions for what to do next, so that I can continue to edit.
Background & research:
Many newcomers ask "What do I do next?" after attending an edit-a-thon or trying editing for the first time. Suggested edits help provide guidance and structure for new editors as they are first getting started. Suggested edits increase newcomer activation and retention.
This task includes improvements to the "Try a suggested edit" post-edit dialog based on Levelling Up: Post-edit dialogue analysis: T343290: Leveling Up: post-experiment questions & analysis & Summary of Positive Reinforcement analysis.
In Leveling Up analysis, we see that there is significant interest in the "Try a suggested edit" post-edit dialog. About 25% of newcomer are clicking through to "Try a suggested edit". However, few newcomers actually go on to immediately edit again.
We hypothesize that part of the disconnect is that when the newcomer clicks on "Try a suggested edit", there is a full page reload which brings them to their homepage (on desktop) and the Suggested edits module (on mobile).
As a second experiment, we want to see if more edits are completed if we simply show suggested edits in the post-edit dialog after a newcomer selects "Try a suggested edit".
Design:
- Remove the "Don't show this again" copy and checkbox, as we will only show this post-edit dialog once.
- Updated copy:
What’s next?
Try suggested edits to help improve articles that other editors have identified as needing improvements.
Improvements to consider in the future:
- If this test is successful, then we may want to try limiting suggested edits that relate to topics the new editor edited in their first edits.
- If this test is successful, then we may want to test how this post-edit dialog performs if displayed after the first or second edit.
Acceptance Criteria:
Given I have not completed any suggested edits,
When I complete my third (regular) edit,
Then I receive the "Try a suggested edit" post-edit dialog
Given I have received the "Try a suggested edit" post-edit dialog
Then the dialog can be minimized (⌄), dismissed (No thanks), or accepted (Try a suggested edit).
Given I have received the "Try a suggested edit" post-edit dialog,
When I accept (Try a suggested edit),
Then I receive a selection of "easy"-level suggested edits in the post-edit dialog (from any topic)
- Edge case: If all easy tasks are disabled in community configuration or none are available, then we should default to medium or hard tasks.
