User story & summary:
As a former new editor, I want the Impact Module to remain relevant as I gain experience, so I can continue to find value in using it.
Background & research:
The Impact Module was originally designed to encourage brand-new editors as part of the Positive Reinforcement project. To support long-term editor engagement, the module should evolve to remain useful for more experienced contributors. Ideally, both the homepage and the Impact Module will continue to provide relevant insights as editors deepen their involvement in the Wikimedia movement.

The Wikipedia Mobile apps are interested in potentially using Impact Module data for: T371946: [Epic] Wikipedia Year in Review on iOS App .
Potential Improvements:
As editors gain experience, they may be interested in additional metrics beyond those currently available in the Impact Module. Potential enhancements include:
- Articles Created (and what percentage are Featured or Good Articles)
- Global Edit Count
- T391808: Line graph should have scale in Special:Impact
- User Group Information (e.g., event coordinator, administrator, etc.)
- Namespace Edit Breakdown (percentage of edits in Mainspace, Talk, Draft, etc.)
- Other possible metrics:
- Gather feedback from experienced editors on their favorite insights from XTools and what additional editing history data they would like to see.
- Gather insights from the Mobile Apps team on the most popular "Year in Review" features.
- Conduct a comparative analysis of crowdsourced platforms to identify best practices for engagement metrics.
Furthermore, experienced editors are more likely to want to adjust the time-frame of the Impact Module to show more data. Early Impact Module designs included the ability to filter data to specific time frames, like 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 1 year.
