####User Story:
As a logged in new Wikipedia account holder, I want to receive simple, unobtrusive edit suggestions within the article view while I’m reading, making it easy for me to confidently and successfully contribute.
//Guardrail user story:// As an experienced editor, I want newcomers to make successful first edits that add value to Wikipedia and aren't a burden to patrol.
------
####Task scope:
Subtasks of this user story should be the technical tasks that will enable an early alpha test for surfacing structured tasks. This likely includes:
- Create a disabled-by-default feature flag for this work
- Retrieving link recommendations for a random article
- Displaying popup in read-mode

####Background
- Project page: [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Constructive_activation_experimentation | Constructive activation experimentation ]]
- Related epic: {T362584}
- Related work: [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Structured_tasks | Structured tasks ]] & [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_check | Edit check ]]
Current full-page editing experiences require too much context, patience, and trial and error for many newcomers to contribute constructively. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.
This project aims to address the following user problem: **Getting started editing on Wikipedia is difficult and especially frustrating on mobile devices. I want the editing interface to provide the in-the-moment policy and technical guidance I need, so my initial efforts aren't reverted.**
This project aims to achieve the following user outcome: **As a new Wikipedia volunteer, I feel confident and enthusiastic about contributing to the Wikimedia movement by editing Wikipedia articles. The tools provided guide me step-by-step, limit distractions, and allow me to learn progressively so I can successfully contribute on my mobile device.**
As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase constructive activation on mobile. This is part of the Wikimedia Foundation 2024-2025 Annual Plan, specifically the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2024-2025/Product_%26_Technology_OKRs#WE_KRs | Wiki Experiences 1.2 Key Result ]]
