We aim to distribute the biennial [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights | Community Insights survey]] of active editors across Wikimedia projects in April 2026. This task will serve as the Epic for the project to track various task components and the overall scope.
Substantial changes:
* We will be using LimeSurvey instead of Qualtrics
* We will be using a single-email opt-in rather than double-email opt-in
===Set-up & Distribution===
[] Review and revise questionnaire
*[] Request stakeholder input for new questions - we do not want to substantially increase the length of the survey, but we should ask questions relevant to strategic or product initiatives which are likely to gain reliable and actionable data from the survey
*[] Remove questions that are no longer relevant
[] Finalize questionnaire text, including email invitation copy
[] Send new questions and copy for translation
[] Scope multilingual and stratified sample process for LimeSurvey - should we use separate surveys for all languages, or use one survey? Ensure that we are able to maintain data integrity (subsamples, bins) and question localization (e.g. demographics) for whichever route we choose.
[] Decide whether we want a method to remind participants to complete the survey
[] Program the survey, QA
[] Update metawiki page for the 2026 survey
[] Request privacy statement
[] Draw sample of qualified participants to contact at release of newest mariadb dataset (April 2026)
[] Configure EmailUser API and survey links for invitations; test and QA
[] Send out invitations! (Target: mid-to-late April 2026, depending on editor dataset update)
===Analysis and reporting===
[] Tasks for data cleaning, weighting, analysis, and reporting to be updated here as project progresses
