This task tracks the writing of a design brief for the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Annual_Plan_2024-2025#First_annual_planning_priority | first Growth team Annual plan priority in 2024/2025 ]].
The document will define the goals, target audience, core user job stories, and outline the research and exploration tasks involved in the design of the new "add a reference" structured task.
When this ticket is marked as complete, a summary will be posted here.
------
**Project Goal:**
Increase constructive activation in the main namespace on mobile devices.
**Project Hypothesis: **
If we conduct user tests on two or more design prototypes introducing Structured Tasks to newcomers within/proximate to the Visual Editor, then we can quickly learn which designs will work best for new editors, while also enabling engineers to assess technical feasibility and estimate effort for each approach.
