####User story
As a Product Manager, I want to be sure we follow up with communities after we have completed work to improve [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Structured_tasks | Structured Tasks ]] based on community feedback.
As a Product Manager, I want Growth pilot wikis to have all Growth features enabled, because receiving pilot wiki feedback on Growth features is the main reason we work closely with pilot wikis and [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Product_Ambassadors | product ambassadors ]].
####Details
After the deployment of Structured tasks, we received feedback from various communities regarding how recent changes patrollers were feeling overwhelmed by an increase of edits to check, how some edits were of poor quality or poor relevance. The feedback was gathered at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Structured_tasks/Community_feedback and some tasks were added to: Patroller Focus epic T315732, which addresses several requested improvements along with work to make some changes based on [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Structured_tasks/Community_feedback | community feedback]].
Although we plan to close this epic soon, our work to continue to improve and iterate on structured tasks will continue:
- We will continue to work on improvements to the Add an Image structured tasks: T293711
- While also addressing minor improvements overtime as we work through maintenance work: T320744
#####Actions taken
We based our work on the feedback received. Several points of improvement have been addressed:
* **Actions taken to address patrollers fatigue**:
* **patrollers fatigue**: ** By default, newcomers can complete up to 25 of Structured"add a link" tasks per day. If patrollers are overburdened, each community can now use Special:EditGrowthConfig to lower this number.
* **Actions taken to increase the quality of edits**:
** we increased the score on link recommendation service suggestions so that less links are suggested,** "Edit quality" is not a well-defined concept. but are more relevant.We initiated a discussion and summarized the findings at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Communities/Quality_of_edits
** underlinked articles are now suggested in priorityWe increased the confidence score on link suggestions, so it's more likely the suggestions are relevant and links that will be appreciated by readers. T316079
** Along with the patrollers fatigue improvement, the number of suggested links per article has been lowered to 3. This can be changed at Special:EditGrowthConfig. Communities can also exclude links from articles containing certain templates or categories.We now prioritize articles that are considered "underlinked" T330535
** We completed work to ensure lists and disambiguation pages don't receive image suggestionThe number of suggested links per article has been lowered to 3. T301095 This can be changed at Special:EditGrowthConfig. Communities can also exclude links from articles containing certain templates or categories.
* **Quality of edits** was not a well defined concept** We completed work to ensure lists and disambiguation pages don't receive image suggestions. We initiated a discussion and summarized the findings at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Communities/Quality_of_editsT316794 & T320656
We will also improve our communication processes,** We worked with other WMF teams to improve how Suggested Edits (like "add a link") are populated: Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. T328276
** We conducted [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Newcomer_tasks/Milestone_analysis,_February_2023 | newcomer task analysis ]] to better understand if newcomers got "stuck" doing easy tasks like "add a link". improve Add an Image (starting in March 2023) and address minor improvements overtime as we work through maintenance workT311888 And then we released [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Positive_reinforcement#Leveling_up_3 | "Leveling up" features ]] to ensure newcomers progressed to more meaningful tasks after success with structured tasks like "add a link". Our next project is to work on leveling up usersT317813
###Acceptance Criteria:
[] Start a discussion on Arabic Wikipedia: Summarize the improvements made since the "add a link" task was disabled, along with the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Structured_tasks/Add_a_link/Experiment_analysis,_December_2021 | newcomer benefits of this task ]]. Suggest an approach for enabling this task that might be accepted (Lower task limit? Lower maximum number of links per task? More template or category limitations added to EditGrowthConfig? ).
[] Respond to questions and concerns in the discussion
[] Summarize discussion in English for the Growth team
