User Story:
As a newcomer on Wikipedia, I want access to the Newcomer Homepage and other Growth features, because they help me get started.
As an experienced Wikimedian, I want newcomers on my wiki to have access to Growth features, because then more new account holders will successfully get started editing and be retained.
Background:
The GrowthExtension is not automatically included when new Wikipedias "graduate" from the incubator, so there are some newer wikis that still don't have access to Growth features. Let's work with these communities to set up the features (via Special:CommunityConfiguration) and release Growth features at these wikis.
This task is part of the Wikimedia Foundation department's OKR (Objectives and Key Results) work. It is connected to the Language Onboarding and Development Project and the Vital Knowledge (WE2) objective. Some interventions may also relate to other objectives and key results.
Vital Knowledge (WE2) Objective: Make more vital knowledge available and well illustrated across languages and topics. Part of the Wikimedia Foundation’s Annual Plan 2025-26.
Key result WE2.1: By the end of Q2, implement 3 interventions that help contributors to improve the state of vital content on their Wikipedias.
Updates related to ongoing experiments will be added in the comments of this task and here:
Acceptance Criteria:
BLOCKED: by decision on which wikis to include in this experiment.
Once wikis have been selected:
- Release GrowthExperiences to these wikis, with Structured Tasks disabled
Movement Communications will then follow-up to assist these wikis in configuring features via Community Configuration.
