Deleting some files

Hi! There are a few files on వర్గం:All Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons, వర్గం:All Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons and వర్గం:Candidates for speedy deletion for unspecified reason that could perhaps be deleted. If they are in use in వాడుకరి:MGA73/Sandbox you can just ignore that. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 17:37, 9 సెప్టెంబరు 2022 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #22

Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!

Newcomers tasks reach the 500,000 edits milestone — more data publicly available

As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks. In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module.

• About 30% of those edits were completed on mobile devices.
• Usage continues to increase; in June 2022 almost 50,000 newcomer tasks were completed.

We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki.

If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.

Ongoing projects and explorations

The new impact module is part of the Positive Reinforcement project. The image displays the mockup for mobile we used for user testing.

We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.

We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.

Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).

Experiments analysis

Add a Link Experiment Analysis has been published. The most important points are:

• Newcomers who get the Add a Link structured task are more likely to be activated (i.e. make a constructive first article edit).
• They are also more likely to be retained (i.e. come back and make another constructive article edit on a different day).
• The feature also increases edit volume (i.e. the number of constructive edits made across the first couple weeks), while at the same time improving edit quality (i.e. the likelihood that the newcomer's edits aren't reverted).

Newcomer task edit type analysis has been published.

• Communities had expressed concern that newcomers whose initial edits were structured tasks wouldn’t go on to learn how to complete more difficult tasks. The Growth team data scientist conducted a Newcomer task edit type analysis to see if this was indeed the case.
• Results from analysis indicate that this likely isn’t a significant concern. More than 70% of users who start with the easy task "Add a link" also make another task type. Read the full analysis and methodology here.

News for mentors

A new system for the mentors list

The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.

At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.

The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. [1][2]

Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.

Learn more about this new structured page on mediawiki.org.

A tip for mentors

Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.

And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges? Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: మీ తార గుర్తు శిష్యులు, తార గుర్తు లేని మీ శిష్యులు.

Other improvements

Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:

• While we now offer some options for mentors to take a break, the option to quit mentoring was not easy to find. This will be improved. [3]
• Mentors at wikis using FlaggedRevisions will have a way to discover their mentees' pending edits. [4]
• Dashboard discovery for new mentors will be improved. [5]

Recent changes and fixed bugs

• We moved to a new Image Suggestions API. This new API will allow us to deploy Add an Image to more wikis. [6]
• Starting September 19, a few more wikis now offer Add an image to newcomers. These wikis are Greek Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia. [7]
• Add an image has been disabled for a few days due to technical issue. "Add an image" added a blank line instead of an image. This has been fixed. [8]
• In order to know if Special:EditGrowthConfig is used by communities, we now instrument page loads and saves of configuration. [9]

Growth team newsletter #23

Welcome to the twenty-third newsletter from the Growth team!

Highlights

• Mentorship: We released the new structured mentor list to all wikis. This change makes mentorship easier to setup, manage and use.
• Positive reinforcement: An improved impact module is available for testing.

Screenshot of the positive reinforcement module improvements.

Positive reinforcement: an improved impact module to test

The goal of the Growth team is to encourage newcomers to try editing for the first time, and encourage them to keep editing. We want to increase newcomers' motivation by showing them how impactful their edits are.

Newcomers have access to an impact module; you can find yours at Special:Impact. The revised impact module provides new editors with more context about their impact. It will display the number of edits, the number of thanks received, the last time they edited, the number of consecutive days they edited, and the number of views for the articles they edited.

This module will soon be available at our pilot wikis starting December 1. You can already test this new module at Beta Wikipedia. For safety reasons, do not use your regular account and password at Beta wiki. Create a new, specific account for this wiki, with a different password.

Structured tasks: improvements based on patroller feedback

After the deployment of Structured tasks, we received feedback from various communities regarding how patrollers of recent changes were feeling overwhelmed by an increase in edits to check, and how some edits were poor quality or of poor relevance.

We made several improvements based on the feedback we received. Several points of improvement have already been addressed:

• Patroller fatigue:
  • By default, newcomers can complete up to 25 "add a link" tasks and 25 "add an image" tasks per day. If patrollers are overburdened, each community can use Special:EditGrowthConfig to lower that limit.

• Quality of edits: what constitutes a "quality edit" is not a well defined concept. We initiated a discussion and summarized our findings. We also worked on the following improvements:
  • Add a Link
    • Underlinked articles are now prioritized, so it's less likely that newcomers are adding links to articles that are already have a lot of links.
    • The confidence score was increased, so suggestions are more likely to be accurate.
    • The default number of suggested links per article has been lowered to 3. This can be changed at Special:EditGrowthConfig. Communities can also exclude articles containing certain templates or categories from being suggested.
  • Add an Image
    • Lists will no longer receive "add an image" suggestions.
    • Disambiguation pages will no longer receive "add an image" suggestions.
    • We have many further improvements we plan to make to "add an image" in early 2023. [10]

The Positive Reinforcement project will also address some of the concerns around encouraging newcomers to progress to higher value edits. The Growth team will soon work on strategies geared at "Leveling up" newcomers so they progress from easy to more difficult tasks.

Recent changes

• All Wikipedias now have the same onboarding experience. Previously, at a few wikis, 20% of new accounts didn't get the Growth features when they created their account. These 20% of new accounts were used as a control group, in order to know if the Growth features were changing newcomers' behavior. Experiments have shown that Growth features improve activation and retention, and as we want to provide the same onboarding experience at all Wikipedias, we have decided to remove the control groups. We will utilize control groups when testing new features, and German Wikipedia keeps a control group at their request. [11]
• The quality score for "add a link" suggestions will change. We will suggest less links for each article, but they will be more accurate. We will first deploy it at our pilot wikis, and then to all other wikis where this feature is available. [12][13]
• Growth's features FAQ has been updated and expanded. This page centralizes all the information about Growth features. We invite you to read it, and, if you can, to translate it.

News for mentors

• All Wikipedias can now setup and manage a mentorship program in an easier way.
  • We changed the process to make it more reliable, easier to improve and easier to use.
  • Wikipedias where mentorship hasn't been enabled yet can turn mentorship on following a new process. When done, mentors can sign-up by visiting Special:MentorDashboard.
  • Wikipedias where the list of mentors already existed have been converted to the new system.
  • A new special page — Special:ManageMentors — now displays the list of mentors. This page can be transcluded on any other page. There are also new processes to signup as a mentor or to quit mentorship, and we improved community mentorship management.
• The Mentor dashboard's "Your mentees" module will have a new footer, called "Recent changes by your mentees". This footer will include a link to Recent changes, where mentors can see only edits made by their own mentees. [14]

Deployments

• Add a link has been deployed to a 5th round of wikis. [15]

We plan to have a more regular newsletter, every two months. We also want to know if the current format suits you! Let us know what you like, what you like less and your suggestions of improvements: leave us a comment, in your preferred language.

Growth team newsletter #24

Welcome to the twenty-fourth newsletter from the Growth team!

Newcomer experience projects

The Growth team partnered with other WMF teams to conduct several experiments around increasing account creation and new editor retention. Results from four of these experiments are now available:

• Thank you pages & banners - Encourage donors to create accounts through thank you pages and banners.
• Marketing experiment - Run ads on-wiki and off-wiki to see how this impacts account activation.
• "Add an image" GLAM events - Host GLAM events that focus on using the "Add an image" tool.
• Welcome emails - Experiment sending welcome emails to newly created accounts.

Newcomer tasks

• Several communities suggested improving "add a link", by suggesting underlinked articles first. We released this change to Growth pilot wikis. We will review the data and collect feedback before considering releasing it to more wikis. [16]
• The deployment of the "add a link" to all Wikipedias is still in progress. Suggested links use a prediction model, which has to be trained. The deployments will resume after we finish training all models. [17]

Mentorship

• When someone wants to signup as a mentor, they are now informed if they don't meet the defined criteria. [18]
• Workshop hosts asked us to have workshop attendees assigned to them. They can soon use a custom URL parameter. This way, workshop hosts will continue mentoring the event's attendees after the workshop. It will be available in February. [19]
• Have you considered to help new editors on your wiki, by signing up to be a Mentor?
  • Please visit Special:MentorDashboard to check on the conditions to be a mentor, and sign up.
  • If your wiki does not have Mentorship enabled, consider setting it up. The Growth team can provide advice and assist as needed. Please ping Trizek (WMF) for assistance.

Other news

• In Special:SpecialPages, Growth experiments now have their own section. [20]
• This newsletter will have a new publication period, 6 times a year: January, March, May, July, September, November.

checkwiki disabled on wpcleaner?

Chaduvari i tried to use project checkwiki on wpcleaner on our wiki but it says we must configure to use it. if possible, try to enable it. thank you. Gunyam (చర్చ) 17:21, 8 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Gunyam, CheckWiki is enabled. But there are some issues which are likely to be addressed in the next dump on 20 Feb. You can see the discussion here. Also the config file is yet to be customised for tewiki - it is currently going on. This process will continue as we use the CheckWiki feature.

In view of the ongoing configuration, I would suggest you share the jobs that you want to do on tewiki on the village pump so that the community will be in the know about it and give suggestions, if any, on the specific activity. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 08:01, 13 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

Could you check

Hi! Could you check దస్త్రం:Piragi lo vaadina iron gundu.JPG? I wonder why the original file was deleted. Could you check if it is the same and if license is correct? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 21:10, 11 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73, the user seemed to have uploaded the same file repeatedly - not sure how and why. He was very new to Wiki at that time. Somehow different versions were uploaded, all are identical. Some of those versions were later deleted. The log shows the deletion summary as "వేరే సరైన కూర్పు ఉంది" which means "there is a different, correct version available". And, Licence is correct. I think this can be moved to Commons. __చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 00:57, 12 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Would it not be better to undelete the first version so the user is the uploader? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:46, 12 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73, Rationality advises so. But since I am not sure what exactly happened there (though I could guess it), I will refrain from doing it. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 09:29, 12 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

Lol okay. Well you confirmed that license and author is okay so that is enough. I will move to Commons. If you have some time to spare you are welcome to delete some files from Category:All Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 11:07, 12 ఫిబ్రవరి 2023 (UTC)

2. They are beginning a new project, Edit check.

Talk pages project

Some of the upcoming changes

The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for చర్చ ఉపకరణాలు (Discussion tools).

It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "విషయాన్ని చేర్చు" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.

Daily edit completion rate by test group: DiscussionTools (test group) and MobileFrontend overlay (control group)

An A/B test for చర్చ ఉపకరణాలు (Discussion tools) on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with చర్చ ఉపకరణాలు (Discussion tools). The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.

New Project: Edit Check

The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "మార్పులను ప్రచురించు". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Progress with files

Hi!

It seems that only very few work on files. Unless I missed something it is only you, me and వాడుకరి:C1K98V that have made many edits related to files the last year. Do you know anyone else that could help out?

Any chance that you could delete the files in:

• వర్గం:All Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons
• వర్గం:All Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons

I have added {{Information}} on a bunch of files. Do you have time to move them to Commons or can you think of anyone that would help out?

The files can be found in వర్గం:Unidentified subjects in India (today there are 1,398 in total). Or in sub categories of వర్గం:Wikipedia files if working on files per user is easier.

It is easier for users that can understand the language and if an admin does it the fils can be deleted right away. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:30, 9 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73,

• deletions done Y.
• Currently there is no one working on the files. I will try to spare some time to work on them.
• Is there a tool to move the files to Commons in bulk?

__ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 10:07, 10 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! No, I do not know of any way to bulk move files. With FileImorter you can move and delete the files with very few clicks. Like click the export tab, check the delete box, click import. Then file should be imported and the local file deleted. If files are good (meaning nothing to fix) it should take like 5 seconds per file. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:16, 10 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

There are also some files in వర్గం:Candidates for speedy deletion for unspecified reason that you could check out when you have a little time to spare. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:28, 10 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

There are some NowCommons files to delete again :-) I noticed దస్త్రం:Ramadasu.jpg where a non-free file was uploaded on a free file. If the old (free) file is good then perhaps you could split up the files (delete the file, restore the free file and the relevant file history, then move to a new name and then restore the non-free file)? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 10:37, 12 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

I had a discussion on వాడుకరి_చర్చ:B.K.Viswanadh#Follow_up_on_photos about the source of the uploads. The files in వర్గం:Files uploaded by B.K.Viswanadh - other are not own work. So there is a big chance the files should be replaced and deleted. Except the files that are PD because they are old. Do we need to start a deletion request for each file or could you check them and replace/delete if needed? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 12:52, 15 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Also files uploaded by one user and edit by B.K.Viswanadh may be okay to keep too. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 13:34, 15 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73,

Regarding deleting all the files except "PD-india" ones, I have a doubt - why దస్త్రం:Kondapalli bommalu 3.jpg, దస్త్రం:Unnava llakshmi narayana pantulu.jpg should be deleted? __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 16:10, 15 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Because B.K.Viswanadh wrote that "some files are not mine, i took screen shot by movies and books and some blogs.". The second file you mention is PD-India so that is probably okay. Also files uploaded by other users might be okay - like దస్త్రం:బేడి ఆంజనేయస్వామి.jpg provided it is likely original uploader is the photographer. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 16:54, 15 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73, So I think, all the files in the catgory వర్గం:Files uploaded by B.K.Viswanadh - other need to be reviewed before deleting them - bulk delete action on the category, until the review is done, may not be advisable. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 04:14, 16 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Yes I agree. Checking each file before deleting seems like a good idea. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 11:34, 16 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Hello again. I have checked the files and nominated many of them for deletion. They are now in వర్గం:Candidates for speedy deletion for unspecified reason. There are also some files in the 2 NowCommons categories. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 11:54, 26 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for moving files to Commons. I hope the problems on Commons with files from B.K.Viswanadh will stop you from moving other files. There are other uploaders to work on and as far as I know they have not uploaded internet files. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 11:21, 29 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

This file https://te.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Hudhud%2012%20Oct%202014.jpg&action=edit is tricky because of a redirect on Commons so thats why you get the link like this. It sould be ready to delete. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 19:07, 29 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73 Okay, thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 00:44, 30 మార్చి 2023 (UTC)

ప్రత్యేక:ఫైళ్లజాబితా/Vu3ktb include many drawings uploaded with permission. Sadly a permission should be send to c:COM:VRT. Uploader is no longer active. Can you see if there was any discussion about it on the user talk page? If not there are 3 options 1) Delete the files 2) Ask the cartonists for a new permission or 3) Add a "Do not move to Commons" and keep them only on te.wiki. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 17:09, 1 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73, I have moved about 28 files from ప్రత్యేక:ఫైళ్లజాబితా/Vu3ktb to Commomns. Balance are copyright protected (I have not checked if the {{PD-India}} is applicable to them). These files may be retained in Tewiki.__ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 16:13, 3 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

ANd, regarding the discussion about these files..- there was a discussion indeed, but was of little help. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 16:15, 3 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

What do you mean with "Balance"? And sad that nothing useful was written about the drawings. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 16:19, 3 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73, Balance = remaining files చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 23:32, 3 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

Lol... Seems I'm a bit slow :-D I was planning to add {{Information}} to all the free files and hopefully we can get uploaders to check and fill in the missing information. If the license is "PD-self" or "Self|Cc..." then we could assume that it is own work. But it would be nice if uploader could make a statement that "yes I'm the photographer if uploaded as self". At least for those still active. I'm busy on other wikis but it would be a big help if you could move files allready fixed (and delete those with a NowCommons). --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:57, 4 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

@MGA73 None of the files in the special page are uploader's own work. Almost all these files belong to the following categories

• Photo taken from book contents
• Photo taken from book cover
• Photo taken from a documentary
• Movie Poster published by the producer

All of the above are mostly copy righted and are fair-use only. Hence these cannot be moved to Commons. But there are some files - mostly movie posters - which, I think, are {{PD-India}}. These files can be considered for moving to Commons after modifying the summary suitably indicating they are in Public domain in India. Example: దస్త్రం:NAGA PANCHAMI.JPG. This poster is dated 1956, while the pre 1963 images are in public domain as per "PD-India". Someone needs to identify such posters and tag them with "PD-India". __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 16:15, 4 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

I was speaking of free files in general. But non-files should have an information template too because one day they will be PD too. If all info is added all files it will be possible to judge if the file is PD-india or not. Sadly because of URAA the files may not be PD in the US untill 95 years after publication. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 16:25, 4 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

దస్త్రం:Ramadasu.jpg is a mess. A free file with a non-free on the top. I think the file should be split up or one of the versions deleted. Can you fix? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:42, 7 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

దస్త్రం:Plant-1.gif I could not fix because it is protected. It should have "migration=not-eligible" in the license template. I'm trying to empty వర్గం:Wikipedia license migration candidates. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 16:16, 7 ఏప్రిల్ 2023 (UTC)

Hello again! I see that you are not very active at the moment. Hope you are okay! --MGA73 (చర్చ) 20:02, 26 మే 2023 (UTC)

Communicating in english, not telugu?

For generations our family are living in telangana and telugu is our mother tongue. I studied in english medium with telugu as compulsory subject upto 10th.

Growth team newsletter #25

Welcome to the twenty-fifth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Celebrations

Leveling up release

• We released Leveling up features to our pilot wikis on March 22 for an initial A/B test.
• In this test, we use post-edit dialogs (pop-ups shown after publishing an edit) and notifications to encourage new editors to try new types of newcomer-friendly suggested edits.
• We are closely monitoring the short term impact of this feature as well as the longer term effect on newcomer productivity and retention. If the experiment shows positive results, we will release this feature to more wikis.

5,000+ images added via the newcomer task in February

• In February 2023, 5,035 images were added via the newcomer “add an image” feature (on all wikis where available); 155 were reverted.
• Since the feature “add an image” was launched: 36,803 images have been added; 2,957 images were reverted.

Recent changes

• Add a link
  • Community Ambassadors completed an initial evaluation that confirmed that prioritizing underlinked articles resulted in better article suggestions. We then evaluated the change on Growth pilot wikis, and results suggest that more newcomers are successfully completing the task and experiencing fewer reverts. We have now deployed the new prioritization model to all wikis with "add a link" enabled. [21][22]
  • We continue the deployment of "add a link" to more wikis. These changes are regularly announced in Tech News. To know if newcomers at your wiki have access to this feature, please visit your Homepage.
• The Impact module was deployed on our pilot wikis, where we conducted an A/B test. We published initial findings, and a data scientist is now completing experiment analysis. [23]
• Donor Thank you page experiment – Donors land on a “thank you” page after donation, and that landing page now includes a call to action to try editing: Example Thank you page in French. This promising feature is tested at several Wikipedias (French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia).
• Growth features are now the default experience on both test.wikipedia.org and test2.wikipedia.org. You can test our features there.

Upcoming work

• Add an image – We plan to offer section-level image suggestions as a structured task for newcomers.
  • We are starting design work. [24]
  • Growth team Ambassadors helped with an initial evaluation of these section-level image suggestions. [25]
  • We will start a community consultation in which we share initial ideas and designs soon. [26]
• IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation – We will support this project for all Growth Team maintained products and extensions that may be affected by IP Masking. [27]

Growth team newsletter #26

Welcome to the twenty-sixth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

One million Suggested Edits

We passed the 1 million Suggested edits milestone in late April!

• The Suggested edits feature (AKA Newcomer tasks) increase newcomer activation by ~12%, which flows on through to increased retention. (source)
• Suggested edits increase the number of edits newcomers complete in their first two weeks and have a relatively low revert rate. (source)
• Suggested edits are available on all Wikipedia language editions.
• Newer Suggested edits, like Add a link and Add an image, aren’t yet deployed to all wikis, but these structured tasks further increase the probability that newcomers will make their first edit. (source)

Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement aims to encourage newcomers who have visited our homepage and tried Growth features to keep editing.

• The new Impact module was released to Growth pilot wikis in December 2022, and we are now scaling the feature to another ten wikis. [28]
• The Leveling up features are deployed at our pilot wikis.
• The Personalized praise features were deployed at our pilot wikis on May 24. Mentors at pilot wikis will start to receive notifications weekly when they have “praise-worthy” mentees. Mentors can configure their notification preferences or disable these notifications.

Add an image

• We are creating a new section-level variation of the “add an image” task. We have tested the accuracy of suggestions, and the development of this new task is well-underway. [29]

Other updates

• We are progressively releasing Add a link to more wikis. [30]
• After adding Thanks to Recent Changes, Watchlist and Special:Contributions, we investigated Thanks usage on the wikis. There is no evidence that thanks increased after the feature was added on more pages.
• We helped with code review for the 2023 Community Wish to add Notifications for user page edits. [31]
• We have been attending several community events, that we documented in our Growth’s Community events report.

What's next for Growth?

• We shared an overview of Growth annual planning ideas, and have started community discussion about these potential projects. We would love to hear your feedback on these ideas!

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 12:08, 10 జూలై 2023 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #27

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Annual plan for Growth

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.

Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.

After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:

• Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
• Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.

Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.

Suggested edits

The new "Add an image" section-level task

We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.

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. [32]

Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorship

The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.

More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [33]

The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.

Positive reinforcement

We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.

In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.

Growth contributes to IP Editing migration

The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:

• the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
• change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [34]

Community Configuration 2.0

We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

• We are gathering internal Wikimedia Foundation teams' needs, so as community feedback. [35]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [36]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [37]

Community Configuration, concept A: Accordion style

Community Configuration, concept B: Dashboard style

Community configuration 2.0

• Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
• Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
• Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.

• The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
• Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)

Mentorship

• We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
• We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
• Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.

Scaling Growth features

• We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
• We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
• At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.

Other news

• We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
• You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
• After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

నిజంగా చదువరి గారు క్రికెట్ వ్యాసాల వర్షం కురిపించారు. అలాగే మిగతా వారి చేత అంతే ఉత్సాహంతో రాయించ గలిగారు. అందరికీ మనసారా అభినందనలు తెలియజేస్తున్నాను. - రవిచంద్ర (చర్చ) 17:13, 25 నవంబరు 2023 (UTC)

@Chaduvari గారూ, ఒక వికీపీడియా ప్రాజెక్టు ఎలా నిర్వహించాలన్నదానిపై మీరొక మోడల్ చేసి చూపించారు. నాణ్యతలో రాజీ పడకుండా, సంఖ్య అనుకున్నదానికి రెంట్టింపు కన్నా ఎక్కువగా, కనీసం 50 వ్యాసాలు దాటిన వాడుకరులు ఆరేడుగురు ఉండేలా - ఎంత బాగా నిర్వహించారో చెప్పలేను. మీకు ధన్యవాదాలు, అభినందనలు. పవన్ సంతోష్ (చర్చ) 18:40, 26 నవంబరు 2023 (UTC)

నేను చూసినంతలో ఇప్పటివరకు ఇంత పకడ్బందీగా ఒక ప్రాజెక్టు నిర్వహణ (వ్యాసాల ఎంపిక, గణంకాలు) అనేది జరగలేదు. చక్కటి ప్రణాళికతో చదువరి గారు ఈ ప్రాజెక్టును నిర్వహించారు. పవన్ సంతోష్ గారు చెప్పినట్టు, భవిష్యత్తులో నిర్వహించే ప్రాజెక్టులకు ఈ ప్రాజెక్టు రోల్ మోడల్ గా నిలుస్తుందనడంలో సందేహం లేదు. ధన్యవాదాలు చదువరి గారు.--ప్రణయ్‌రాజ్ వంగరి ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)} 19:25, 26 నవంబరు 2023 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #29

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Community Conversations

The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.

This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.

Impact Module

At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [38]

Add a Link

We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [39] [40]

We have a few Wikipedias remaining:

• German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
• There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.

Community Configuration

• We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [41] 🖂
• Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
• A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
• Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.

Mentorship

When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [42]

We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [43]

We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [44]

It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [45]

వ్యాసాల విలీనం విషయంలో సలహా కావాలి

@Chaduvari గారూ, విలీనం చేయాల్సిన వ్యాసాలు చాలా ఉన్నాయని స్వరలాసిక గారు సూచించిన మీదట నేనా పనిచేపట్టి కొంత చేయాలని మొదలుపెట్టానండీ. వికీపీడియా:విలీనము, తరలింపు అన్న పేజీలో ఉన్న పద్ధతి చూస్తే నాకు Full-content paste merger అన్నది మెరుగని తోచింది. ఆ ప్రకారం భారతదేశం - జాతీయ చిహ్నాలు వ్యాసాన్ని భారత జాతీయతా సూచికలులో విలీనం చేశాను. ఇలా ఎందుకంటే గతంలో నేను తరలింపు ద్వారా విలీనం చేసిన గుర్తు, దానివల్ల ఒక వ్యాసంలో ఉన్న సమాచారం మొత్తం పోవడం, దేన్ని దేనిలోకి విలీనం చేస్తున్నామో అయోమయం కలగడం వంటివి ఎదురయ్యాయి. అయితే, నేనిప్పుడు చేసిన పద్ధతి చూసి, ఇంకా మెరుగ్గా చేయవచ్చా? ఇది సరి అవునా కాదా? మీ అనుభవాన్ని బట్టి కాస్త చెప్తారా? పవన్ సంతోష్ (చర్చ) 07:32, 7 ఏప్రిల్ 2024 (UTC)

@Pavan santhosh.s గారూ, నేను చేసిన విలీనాలన్నీ ఇప్పుడు మీరు "భారతదేశం - జాతీయ చిహ్నాలు", "భారత జాతీయతా సూచికలు" పేజీల్లో చేసినట్లు గానే చేసానండి - పాఠ్యాన్ని పూర్తిగా చేర్చడమో లేదా కొంత చేర్చడమో చేసాను. కొన్ని సందర్భాల్లో రెండు పేజీల్లో చాలావరకు ఒకే పాఠ్యం ఉంటుంది. అప్పుడు కొద్దిపాటి పాఠ్యాన్ని మాత్రమే గమ్యం పేజీ లోకి తీసుకెళ్తాం.

ఒకవేళ మీరడుగుతున్నది హిస్టరీ మెర్జ్ అయితే, అది నేనెప్పుడూ చెయ్యలేదు. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 11:19, 7 ఏప్రిల్ 2024 (UTC)

@Chaduvari ధన్యవాదాలు అండీ. ఈ విధంగా కొనసాగిస్తాను. పవన్ సంతోష్ (చర్చ) 12:32, 13 ఏప్రిల్ 2024 (UTC)

Growth News, April 2024

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Community Configuration

Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results

Add a Image experiment analysis results

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:

• The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
• The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
• The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
• A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).

Personalized praise experiment results

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)

English donors encouraged to try editing

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)

Future work

Annual Plan

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
