This task involves the work of establishing a baseline of constructive edits made by new(er) volunteers, as defined by the 2025 - 2026 WE 1.1 KR, to help inform how much we will attempt to grow the number in the coming fiscal year (T389403).
Where, "constructive edits made by new(er) volunteers" is defined as:
Edits to pages in any Wikipedia main namespace by people who have published ≤100 cumulative edits (incl. people who are logged out) that are not reverted within 48 hours of being published.
Decision(s) to be made
- By what percentage will the WE 1.1 KR attempt to grow constructive edits made by new(er) volunteers during Q1 and Q2 of the 2025 - 2026 fiscal year?
- Note: we'll set this improvement target in T389403.
Requirements
Using ≥3 months of recent data, broken out by platform (mobile web, desktop) and if possible, by Wikipedia project...
- Constructive edits by month*
- Y-o-Y changes in constructive edits*
- [curiosity] proportion of all published monthly edits that are constructive (not reverted within 48 hours) and destructive (reverted within 48 hours)
*As defined by KR criteria above.
References
We completed a similar analysis for the 2024-2025 WE 1.2 KR in T360829.
