I'm one of the Community Relations Specialists. I talk with readers, editors, volunteer developers and staff so that they can know each other, know what they do, what they expect and what they hope for. I mostly work with the Growth team around new features that help newcomers to successfully become editors.
I'm also working on documentation and easing translations or anything else that requires my support. See my assigned tasks.
I was thinking about reusing the number of edits filter defined on the table of mentees, but it might be counterintuitive.
These numbers make sense as a start.
If we provide the Homepage as a default feature, we will have at least the Impact module, as it will work no matter what, and the Help links, as they are by default based on mediawiki.org resources.
French Wiktionary setup mentorship, I'm unsure about new wikis: they might not find it relevant.
State of translations as of today. I checked all Growth features, as leveling up is not a separate translation group.
Checked ce.wp, and it works. I added it to Tech News. We are now ready to process the deployment at the scheduled date.
Note: we can add the three excluded wikis to the list if we have a fix before Monday early afternoon UTC.
Ha, thank you for catching it! Inconsistency regarding naming norms got me.
Tested: it works.
I shared the results with the community members I'm in touch with, along with the data from the survey itself. I'm keeping this task open for a few days, as I'm waiting for comments.
Thank you for the clarification.
By "47% skip or abandon", do you mean they don't fill out the survey but start editing? Or do they actually abandon their path and never return? It is just a clarification of the wording.
Okay, I actually got confused with T328356, which is already done.
@KStoller-WMF, I summarized the outcomes of this conversation in the task description. I let you resolve the task if it is okay.
The list was reviewed and shared with Mariya.
I now see the new impact module at French Wiktionary. Thank you everyone!
Korean Wikipedia discussed options to remove mentors from the list as well, and they'd like to enforce them. I told them to use a bot if possible, but having a more robust option would be very nice.
As it isn't super noticeable, then we should just keep it in our upcoming updates.
I'm not sure to understand what was decided for Apps. Apps should be a greyed option, as our features aren't available on Apps. Wouldn't it be counter-productive to send a notification on Apps for a feature that is not present there?
@Sgs, how possible is it to fix these languages?
All models work fine except:
It happend.
@JFernandez-WMF, we are good to go. Can you upload to Commons both SVG files (with editable text) and PNG files? When done, please ping @Dyolf77_WMF: he will protect the SVG files to avoid malicious edits.
After multiple reviews, fixes, and the last translations being done, the message has been sent to 832 community pages + 419 pages used for bots coordination.
I checked all translations regarding time and date. I had to fix all of them manually, at least the ones that were already completely translated but with this time and date change to be made. Translators involvement was not as important as it used to be for these operations (even if more important than usual).
I think we should show this notification only to users who visited their Homepage and saw the mentorship module there (which excludes the cases of en.wp and es.wp). Otherwise, we shouldn't notify them.
All translations are done.
Overall findings:
The strategy has been defined and is now applied through T328349: [EPIC] Positive reinforcement community communication, Jan-Mar 2023.
I think we are good. We just need translations.
My suggestion is indeed a larger point, between the simple change offered here and a full project regarding article creation.
Let's do it!
Central Notice
As a mentor at a big wiki, I'd say that 50% of my requests from newcomers are about creating articles. And the vast majority of these attempts have all chance to fail. My feeling here is that no matter what we change, people will still ask that very same question, as it is why they created an account on Wikipedia. :)
Thank you for the lists, Martin!
The first one on my list is definitely a good candidate.
