Extension:ExternalGuidance/Impact/id

Versi halaman wiki yang diterjemahkan secara otomatis dapat diakses dari hasil pencarian Google dan layanan terjemahan lainnya. Fitur External Guidance mengkustomisasi halaman wiki yang dikirim ke layanan terjemahan ini untuk memastikan konten dilabeli sebagai terjemahan otomatis, dan itu termasuk petunjuk bagi pengguna untuk berkontribusi.

Kami ingin memastikan bahwa Panduan Eksternal ini dapat menghasilkan kontribusi baru yang berkelanjutan untuk komunitas editor. Untuk melakukannya, kami menyediakan mekanisme untuk menandai dan mengukur aktivitas pengeditan yang dihasilkan. Dengan cara ini, komunitas editor dapat mengetahui dan mengontrol kontribusi yang dimulai dari terjemahan otomatis dari suatu halaman. Penjelasan lebih detail tentang mekanisme ini dapat dilihat pada bagian bawah ini.

Menandai Kontribusi
Contributions that start from a translated page will be marked with an edit tag named “external-machine-translation” when they are published. This allows editors to use their usual tools for quality control. For example, editors can focus on this particular group of contributions by filtering them in the Recent Changes page.

In case of an unexpected spike of problematic contributions, a community can use edit filters  (also known as “abuse filters”) to limit the creation of content that starts from translated pages. An edit filter can be defined to prevent the publication of contributions with the external-machine-translation tag. Filters can be set for particular type of users based on their user role,  their number of edits, the time since account creation, etc.

Apart from the tags, contributions originating through External Guidance are treated as regular contributions, following the same rules regarding blocked users and protected pages. Thus, communities have their usual tools they are familiar with to deal with potential problematic users and contributions that may originate from externally translated pages.

Measuring the impact
External Guidance includes analytics instrumentation to give an overall picture of how much content is read and created from externally translated pages.

In particular these are the aspects measured:


 * Reading to contribution funnel. How many people are accessing translated pages, how many of them decide to contribute, and how many of those finally complete their contribution.
 * Content creation. How many edits and pages were created as a result of people coming from an externally translated page.
 * Content survival. How many contributions have been reverted or not, which gives an idea of the quality of those contributions.

These measurements can be compared to the same activity of regular wiki pages.
