Growth/Feature summary/zh



研究表明，由於三個主要挑戰：技術、概念和文化，新人難以編輯和繼續編輯維基百科. 他們目前無法獲得克服這些挑戰所需的資源. 為了將這些東西提供給新人，WMF Growth 團隊構建了三個相互關聯的功能，下面有更詳細的描述. 這些功能已被證明可以增加新人的激活、保留和編輯量.


 * 新人主頁：一個特殊的頁面，承載著“新人任務”，是新人上手的好地方. 該主頁提供了許多資源的訪問權限，包括指向可以回答他們問題的志願者導師的鏈接.
 * Newcomer tasks：建議編輯的提要，幫助新人學習編輯. 新人一直在通過此提要進行富有成效的編輯！ The feed is located on the Homepage, as the starring feature.
 * Help panel: a platform to provide resources to newcomers while they are editing. When newcomers work on Newcomers tasks, the help panel guides them on what to do.

All of these features are available on both desktop and mobile. It is also possible for experienced users to turn them on and use them. 您可以在部分wiki尝试这些功能.

'' For more information about the Growth team, see this page on mediawiki.org. To deploy the features on your wiki, please check on our deployment process page. If you have questions, please check our FAQ. You can also leave us a message. ''

Newcomer tasks
This feature is the main component of the Growth features that is increasing how many newcomers make their first edit, come back to make more edits, and the number of edits they make. Newcomer tasks is a workflow that suggests articles to edit, shown to users via the "suggested edits module" on the newcomer homepage. Newcomers are able to choose from different types of edits (based on maintenance templates) and filter to topics of interest (based on ORES models). They then can choose from a feed of articles to work on. Once on an article, the help panel will provide guidance on how to complete the edit. In 2021, the Growth team is building new editing workflows that aim to make it smaller and easier for newbies, especially from mobile devices. These are called "structured tasks". As of June 2021, we have implemented the first structured task for adding wikilinks to four Wikipedias (Arabic, Czech, Vietnamese and Bengali). In it, an algorithm suggests to newcomers words or phrases that could be good wikilinks.

Newcomer homepage
This special page hosts the newcomer tasks workflow, and contains other modules that give newcomers access to the most important things they need to see on their first day. After creating their account, newcomers see a popup (and some other notifications) encouraging them to visit their homepage, which is accessible through the link to their username along the top of their browser window. Though the team is still experimenting with different modules, here are modules that may appear on the homepage:


 * Mentorship module: assigns each newcomer an experienced user, and gives an easy way to post questions to the mentor's talk page. Mentors volunteer to take part by signing up.
 * Suggested edits module: see "Newcomer tasks" above.
 * Help module: lists links to commonly visited help pages.
 * Impact module: shows newcomers the number of pageviews on each of the articles they have edited.
 * Emails: The page also encourages users to add and confirm their email address.

 Results so far 


 * The majority of newcomers visit their homepage, and many of them return to visit their homepage on subsequent days.
 * As of November 2020, 14,228 mentor questions have been asked by 11,785 users.
 * The homepage increases the number of newcomers who have confirmed email addresses.

Help panel
This is a box that newcomers can open while they are editing. It does four things:


 * Guides newcomers while they do suggested edits.
 * Lists links to commonly visited help pages.
 * Allows newcomers to search for other help and policy pages.
 * Allows newcomers to ask a question directly to the help desk.

The help panel appears in both the wikitext and visual editors. When we deploy this feature, we make sure that a wiki's existing help desk (or Teahouse) will work with the features, and that experienced users watching the help desk are willing to receive the incoming questions.

 Results so far 


 * About 20% of newcomers who see the help panel open it up, and about 50% of those who open it up interact with it.
 * The help panel on its own does not increase newcomer edits, but we have retained this feature because we use it to provide guidance as part of the promising newcomer tasks flow described above.
