This task involves the work of scheduling an Editing Team Community Conversation with volunteers about edit suggestions.
We are specifically interested in inviting experienced volunteers to share/show the various ways they are already integrating suggestions and edit signals into their editing workflow via scripts, gadgets, browser extensions, etc.
Learning objectives
- What suggestions and edit signals people are already using to detect issues?
- Where/how might the Foundation be able to accelerate existing volunteer-led "signal" and "suggestion" efforts without reinventing or complicating what already exists? Think: templates we could consider integrating into Suggestion Mode (e.g. en:Template:Refideas_editnotice), {{citation needed}}.
- What additional signals can volunteers see value in?
- How might we refine signal/suggestions together, over time to reduce false positives/negatives? Asked another way: what kind of visibility and feedback mechanisms would volunteers need into suggestions?
- How might volunteers want to integrate their own signals into the system and what they might need for that to happen?
Target audience
We are interested in engaging people in this initial conversation about Suggestion Mode who:
- Have written/are writing gadgets/scripts/tools/browser extensions/etc. that generate signals (e.g. copyvio detection) or suggestions (e.g. citation needed)
- Review edits/new articles and by extension, depend on a variety of signals to determine what action(s), grounded in a range of policies/guidelines, they will take in response
- People who have installed said gadgets/scripts/tools in an effort to streamline their editing experience and reduce the amount of effort they need to allocate towards identifying content that could benefit from improvement
Invitations
This section will eventually include the people and places where we publish announcements/invitations about this conversation.
