Growth チームのニュースレター第17号をお届けします!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

構造化したタスク
リンクを追加: チームでは最初の「構造化したタスク」の開発中で、記事にウィキリンクを追加するワークフローを段階化し、どの単語や短文にリンクを設定するか、編集初学者をアルゴリズムで支援します.

画像を追加: 最初の構造化タスクを開発中にも、すでに次のタスクを想定してきました. 「画像の追加」は構造化タスクのひとつで、ウィキメディア・コモンズから画像をおすすめし、画像のない記事にどれを追加するか検討してもらいます. これは野心的な発想であり、検討課題はいくつもあります. これまでコミュニティの皆さんから多くのご指摘をいただいており、ぜひ皆さん全員、プロジェクトページを見た上で協議に参加してください.

次の課題：さらに多くのウィキに機能を展開
昨年の11月にこのチームから編集初学者タスクの影響力について分析を公表しました. その中で Growth 機能のうち特に参加型の編集初学者タスクは対象者の編集活動の増加に導くという発見をお知らせしています. Because of these results, we believe all Wikipedias should implement these features.

We have started to contact more wikis to deploy the features, including Wikipedias of all sizes. Bengali Wikipedia recently began using Growth features, and Danish, Thai, Indonesian, and Romanian Wikipedias will be coming soon. Please contact us if you have questions regarding deployment.

We are looking for translators who can help by translating the interface. Translating is done on Translatewiki.net (it requires a different account that your Wikimedia one). Communities that already have the Growth features being deployed are invited to check on the translations.

Variant testing
As mentioned in our previous newsletter, we ran a test of two variants of the newcomer homepage, meant to find a version that increases users completing suggested edits. We have completed the experiment, and learned that one of the variants leads to more edits on desktop while the other leads to more edits on mobile. Therefore, we will deploy the strongest variants for each platform to all newcomers.

News for mentors
 Mentor dashboard : we have interviewed mentors from several communities as we plan a mentor dashboard feature, which would help mentors track the progress of their mentees. We encourage all mentors to share their thoughts on tools that would help them.

 Magic word for mentors : it is now possible to use a magic word, , to display the name of a given newcomer's mentor. This can be used on welcome messages, userboxes, etc.

 Help panel questions going to mentors : in most wikis, newcomers using the help panel ask questions to the help desk. On Czech Wikipedia, we have experimented with sending these questions to mentors instead. This simplifies the newcomer experience, and only led to a increase in mentorship questions of about 30%. We tried this in Arabic, Bengali, French and Vietnamese Wikipedias, and we are making it the default experience.
