In T378036, we established a baseline for how and who is using the Tools and Appearance menus while editing.
This task involves the work of revisiting the metrics we computed in T378036 to decide whether we will keep hiding these menus by default (TICKET) or revert back to having these menus shown by default.
Hypotheses
| ID | Hypothesis | Metric(s) for evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | The quality of edits newcomers and Junior Contributors make in the main namespace on desktop using VE will NOT decrease as a result of the Tools and Appearance menus not being "docked" by default because volunteers do not depend on these menus for improve/evaluate the quality of the edits they're making | |
| 2. | The likelihood that newcomers and Junior Contributors will publish the edits they start on desktop using VE will NOT decrease as a result of the Tools and Appearance menus not being "docked" by default because these menus do not motivate volunteers to finish what they started and/or overcome confusion/challenges they might encounter along the way |
