Leveling up release


 * After a newcomer publishes an edit, we plan to engage newcomers and encourage them to try new types of newcomer-friendly suggested edits.
 * We released Leveling up to our pilot wikis on March 20 for an initial A/B test.

5,000+ images added via the newcomer task


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

Recent changes

 * Community Ambassadors completed an initial evaluation that confirmed that prioritizing underlinked articles resulted in better article suggestions. In the 181 articles evaluated, the suggestions that resulted from the new prioritization formula were considered better ~69% of the time. We decided to deploy the new prioritization model.
