User story & summary:
As an editor visiting my Homepage, I want to see community updates relevant to me, so that I can deepen my involvement in the wikis.
Project details:
First iteration epic: T360485: [EPIC] Newcomer homepage: Community updates module (FY23/24 WE1.3 / FY24/25 SDS2.1.3)
This second iteration epic includes ideas for further improving the Community Updates module.
Ideas for further improvement:
These ideas should be broken into subtasks if/when this epic is prioritized.
- Community Configurable scheduling. (Show this Community Update starting ___ & ending ____).
- Support for more than one Community Update at a time. (A carousel of events / updates; handle “banner competition”. Eg: two campaigns for different target audiences running at the same time.)
- Some sort of tie in with the Events calendar (Special:AllEvents)
- Homepage modularity & customization (so individuals can move where modules display to fit their interests)
- A preview of the banner from within the community configuration page
- We could show that banner on the community config page and have it live-update as the value in the inputs are being changed. That should help a lot with the “writing a title that is too long” issues
- Add link to configuring the Community Updates module from within the Campaign registration workflow
