This task involves the work of enabling product leadership to grasp the impact of the structured editing modality contributor teams are investing in.
This modality is an effort to reduce the toil and confusion new(er) volunteers must currently overcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia.
Requirements
Dashboard
- Create a Superset dashboard that enables us to answer the following questions on an ongoing basis:
- Among new(er) volunteers, what proportion of NS:0 edits are made through structured editing experiences, compared with open-ended editing experiences (see "Definitions" below)? How is this proportion changing over time?
- Across all experience levels, what proportion of NS:0 edits are made through structured editing experiences? How is this proportion changing over time?
- How is the total volume of NS:0 edits changing over time for the following categories?
- All human edits
- Edits by new(er) volunteers
- Edits made through structured editing experiences
- Edits made through structured editing experiences by new(er) volunteers
- In the past 90 days, how many cumulative edits was a given structured editing modality acted upon?
- In this context "a given structured editing modality" refers to the Edit Check, Edit Suggestion, or Task type. E.g. Reference Check, Paste Check, Tone Check, Suggested: revise tone, Suggested: add links, etc.
- Ideally, this could be implemented as a table to start
- The dashboard should support:
- Viewing each metric by platform: mobile web, desktop web, both
- Grouping/filtering each metric by whether edits were reverted (or not): mobile web, desktop web, both
- Each metric should show:
- The current reporting period value and y-o-y offset
See Newcomer tasks share of edits as a helpful point of reference.
Definitions
Structured editing experiences/modality
We will consider an edit as belonging to this "structured modality" if:
- Edit was made to NS:0
- Any of the following is true:
- ≥1 Edit Check was activated during the course of the edit session
- ≥1 Edit Suggestion was acted on during the course of the edit session
- Edit was initiated and/or completed via Newcomer homepage (read: structured tasks / suggested edits)
New(er) editors
We will consider "new(er) editors" as people for whom any of the following is true:
- People who are logged in and have published ≤100 cumulative edits at the time of publishing
Edits made via open-ended experiences
We will consider "edits made via open-ended experiences" as all human edits made via full-page editing experiences (e.g. VE, source, NWE).
