This task involves the work of setting the amount by which WE 1.1 will seek to increase constructive edits by the end of Q2, 2025 - 2026.

Requirements

Propose an amount by which WE 1.1 will seek to increase constructive edits by the end of Q2, 2025 - 2026, as measured through controlled experiments.

Where "constructive edits" are defined as = edits to pages in any Wikipedia main namespace that are not reverted within 48 hours of being published by people who have published ≤100 cumulative edits.

Methodology

To set an improvement target, we will extrapolate from the following pieces of information:

1. The interventions we are likely to prioritize work on during Q1 and Q2 (let's call them "prioritized interventions")
2. Of the interventions we're prioritizing:
   1. At what wikis we assume these prioritized interventions are likely to be made available to new(er) volunteers through controlled experiments
   2. By when said prioritized interventions will be made available
   3. The proportion of new(er) volunteers who will gain access to these prioritized interventions
      • @ppelberg: I'm proposing that we remove this consideration seeing as how we are committing to evaluating each individual intervention's impact on constructive edits, as measured through controlled experiments. This step/requirement would've been relevant had we been measuring the KR in terms of overall/global shifts in constructive edits.
   4. What past experiments the prioritized interventions are similar enough to that we can use said interventions' impact on constructive edits to make an assumption about how much these 2025-2026 interventions are likely to impact CA

Steps

1. Megan to prepare spreadsheet to hold the information described in the === Methodology section above
2. Peter to populate the sheet with "prioritized interventions" and the expected deployment scope and timing
3. Megan to extrapolate from "2." to propose an improvement target
