Account creation user experience/Benefits of signing up



We need copy and icons that give three compelling benefits for signing up, as part of A/B tests to improve the Account creation UX. We'll focus on English Wikipedia to go along with the initial tests, but benefits should be largely universal to Wikipedia regardless of language, with a few exceptions.

Style requirements

 * Keep it short: Please keep the description of each item to 180 characters or less so that it fits in our design grid and is easily digestible.


 * Titles should stand on their own if necessary: Make the title of each benefit (i.e. the section header here) compelling and understandable on its own. When someone scans the list of items but doesn't read the details, the name of each benefit should draw them in.

Create articles
After signing up, you'll be able to help Wikipedia grow by starting new encyclopedia articles.

Upload media
Register an account and you can add your freely-licensed images, video, and sounds to Wikipedia.

Become a part of the Wikipedia community
Logging in means all your contributions are attributed to your username, and lets you connect with other Wikipedia contributors.

Customize your look and feel
Logging in means you can make Wikipedia suit your tastes, as well as get access to advanced tools for navigating and editing.

Protect your privacy
Signing up protects your privacy. Without a username, your edits are publicly attributed to your computer's IP address.

Every registered user has a personal watchlist, where you can track changes to pages that interest you.
