Growth/Newsletters/14



Welcome to the fourteenth newsletter from the Growth>mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth|Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in midsize>mw:Special:MyLanguage/New Editor Experiences/Midsize Wikipedias|mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Recent changes

 * We are still engaging with more communities. We recently deployed the Growth tools to Persian Wikipedia and Hebrew Wikipedia check on the list
 * The Welcome survey has a new choice for people who created their account to translate articles. The goal is to know if people would be interested, in order to integrate the Content translation tool to Growth workflows.
 * Note from MM: the objective of this question is not to find out if people created their account to translate articles, because very few people have done that. It's that we want to find out how many newcomers have language skills that would enable them to translate, so that we can decide whether it is a good idea to integrate Content Translation as a newcomer task.
 * At the moment, questions asked through the Help panel are posted on the local Help desk. Czech Wikipedia is trying a new configuration, where the questions will be posted at the mentee's mentor talk page.
