Add a Progress indicator to the Getting Started extension
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

User story

As a new user using Getting started and other guided tours, I want to know what to do to complete the onboarding process, so that I feel encouraged to finish the required simple edits.

Proposed design

Part 1. Let users know there is an explicit End goal to finishing the Getting Started onboarding exercise.
The goal could by to make 5 simple edits.

Proposed draft copy:Learn how to contribute to Wikipedia articles, by making five simple edits to pages that need help.

Part 2. Introduce a Progress indicator
Add a progress bar (1-5) on the Getting Started navigation toolbar that is filled as each article is added
design tbc

Part 3. Other ideas/questions
– Notifications: how do notifications tie in to this? We have notifications on email confirmation inviting users back to Special:GettingStarted. Should we use web and/or email notifications to remind users of their progress here, and reward them if they complete five edits?
– Guided tours: can and should we use any guiders to point to trying another article?
