We have sometimes wanted to know whether newcomers find the homepage valuable. One potential easy way to find out is to make a small module that invites the newcomer to select something simple, like "yes" or "no" in response to the direct question of "Is this page useful?"
==== Proposed designs ====
**Option 1. Give feedback link on the homepage**
Similar to "Give feedback" link that is on Special:ContentTranslation tool which links users to a Talk page.
| Desktop {F35823265} | Mobile {F35823268}
* Desktop - Neutral Quiet button with feedback icon added to the RHS of the header of the homepage
* Mobile - Neutral Quiet button with feedback icon below the summary modules on the homepage
* Destination TBC, but initial proposal will be to a Talk page on Mediawiki for Growth that can be watched by our team.

* **Pros**
** Easy to implement
** Open-ended to receiving feedback (can also be a con)
** Existing Watch list to monitor feedback and respond
** Easy to internationalise (?)
* **Cons**
** Takes users away from the newcomer homepage
** May generate spammy feedback unrelated to question
** Talk pages may be harder for newcomers to use
**Option 2. Feedback module**
Create a new module within the homepage that can ask for specific feedback.
* **Pros:**
| Desktop {F35824181} | Mobile {F35824183}
** More directed feedback (able to provide a specific prompt - how do you like this X feature)
** More flexibility and updatable
** Potential to turn on and off with customised feedback prompts
* **Cons:**
** Greater time and maintenance of an new module type that is purely for WMF team use
** Greater privacy and potentially many other T&S considerations needed depending on format and storage of feedback info.
