This task involves the work of identifying the Wikipedias that will participate in the A/B experiment of the Suggestion Mode MVP.
There are two parts to this task:
- Identifying the wikis we will approach about participating in the controlled experiment of Suggestion Mode
- Finalizing the set of wikis that consent to participate in the experiment
Selection requirements
- Wikis that receive a sizable inflow of newcomers and population of Junior Contributors (≤100 cumulative edits), particularly those editing on mobile
- Wikis where we anticipate there being enough suggestions available for newcomers in the experiment to encounter them
- We're specifically seeking wikis to be present in the test that see newcomers editing from within Sub-Saharan Africa
- Wikis whose linguistic and technical configurations represent the complexity we can expect in the Movement. This way, we can ensure suggestion Mode is reasonably robust to work well for all Wikipedias.
- Language orientations:
- RTL
- LTR
- Scripts/Alphabets
- Arabic
- Kanji
- Latin
- Language orientations:
- Enough qualifying edit sessions for test to reach statistical significance within 6 weeks.
