Change Details

The newcomer tasks experience will be somewhat personalized based on welcome survey responses. This is an opportunity to modify the welcome survey options to fit the personalization the feature will do. We have also decided to ask one of the welcome survey questions directly on the homepage instead, so that question will be removed from the survey. Mockup: https://wikimedia.invisionapp.com/share/FUTVMSLV24X#/screens/383472072 These are the changes required for the first version of newcomer tasks: **Question 1 (the “task” question)** * Remove the following options: ** “To add information to a Wikipedia article” * Add the following options: ** “To add or change information in a Wikipedia article” ** “To add a photo or image to a Wikipedia article” ** “I’m participating in a program, class, or event” * These new and changed response options should be new values for the purposes of storage -- they should not be overwritten to any existing values. This will help facilitate clear analysis. **Question 3 (the “topic” question)** * Remove this question from the welcome survey entirely. We will ask this information on the homepage instead.
