**Background**
This fiscal year, the iOS team is seeking to increase unreverted mobile contributions. One of our hypotheses to achieve this growth is by introducing Suggested Edits to the iOS app.
We would like to explore a Suggested Edits task that encourages users to add helpful and accurate alt-text to the 95% of images across Wikipedias that are missing them. Before investing too much into this idea, we will start with a proof of concept and get feedback at the GLAM conference in Uruguay and with LATAM and Caribbean users. If the task proves successful, we will build out the full feature and scale it, if it is not successful we will pivot to Image Recommendations or Article Descriptions.
**How will we know we were successful**

**Must haves for proof of concept**
[] Entry point in Settings
[] **Prominent** guidance for writing good alt-text
[] Users ability to get context about the image from the article
[] Users ability to access relevant metadata (can take user to Web)
[] Detection of which images do not have alt-text
[] Ability to store the responses we get to evaluate if they are good alt-text
**User stories**
Primarily
- As a participant at the GLAM Conference in Uruguay, I want to test out an alt-text Suggested Edits Task, to get a concrete idea of the concept and provide meaningful feedback
- As the Director of Product, I want concrete proof an alt-text Suggested Edits would increase edits on iOS, without creating a burden for patrollers
Secondarily
- As a user with limited data, I want to read alt-text, so even if images are not loaded, I am aware of what is in the image
- As a user navigating articles with a screen reader, I want alt-text to be available , so that I have the same additional context about an article as users that are not using screen readers
**Primary target audiences**
* Round 1: GLAM Conference Attendees
* Round 2: Spanish and Portuguese speakers in the Americas and Caribbean
* Round 3: French and English Speakers in the Americas and Caribbean
For the sake of this task, lets create metrics for Round 1 target audiences at a minimum, but there is a possibility of expanding to Round 2.
**Task**
[] Set and review key indicators to establish success metrics in partnership with Product
[] Create schema and instrumentation documentation for engineers
[] Create data relates tasks
