Summary of outreach selection for the Starter Kit pilot launch

For this round of outreach, we built on the earlier two rounds rather than starting fresh. The pool includes every wiki already touched by the pilot, the main page customization testing in T420075, the admin outreach in T428121, and wikis appearing in the Starter Kit dashboardwith a focus on wikis with fewer than 50,000 articles. Each wiki was topped up to five contacts. People already on file count toward the five; admins fill the slots first, followed by the most active regular editors from the last 30 days.

The wiki list and content pages come from Meta's List of Wikipedias, contributors from the MediaWiki API, and village pump presence from Wikidata. Bots, unregistered (temporary) accounts, and zero-edit system accounts are filtered out. WMF and cross-wiki maintenance accounts are kept but tracked separately.

This gives us 119 contactable people across 33 wikis, plus 8 cross-wiki maintainers, who will receive one message each rather than one message per wiki.
