Edit Review Improvements/zh

編輯審核優化是Collaboration團隊的專案，目的在研究出可行辦法，以降低現在編輯審核流程中，對於各wiki站的新手編輯所造成之負面效應. 大部份的「編輯—審核」以及「巡查」工具的設計，是為了要保障內容的品質、並防範惡意的編寫者——這兩項都是極端重要的任務. 然而有項研究成果指出，這些流程——尤其有使用自動化或半自動化的工具時——會對抱持善意的新手編輯帶來不曾預期到的後果：打擊新手編輯的士氣並且讓他們不再參與.

為了解決此問題，Collaboration 團隊正在調查可能的方法，來從現在的編輯—審核工作流程中，分離出善意的新手使用者. 而最終目標，是提供協助性的審核流程，以幫助新手使用者成為更具生產力的貢獻者.

問題

 * 研究顯示，尤其對於新的wiki編者而言，「遭到回退，會導致其（編輯）活動量的下降，以及（使用者編輯wiki的）存活率的減低」.
 * 同時，增加自動化以及半自動化的編輯—審核工具之使用，也提升了拒絕善意新手的現象. 使用（自動化與半自動化的）的這些工具，「大幅度地增加了拒絕值得（持續貢獻的）新手（在wiki上）存續的負面效應」.
 * 儘管有上述的問題，編輯—審核工具仍然是對抗破壞等問題時，維護wiki可靠與高品質的重要一環. How can we help and retain new users while maintaining the productivity of vandalism fighters and other edit reviewers?

目標
Ultimately this project aims to have an effect on editor retention, an objective that aligns well with the overall goals of the Wikimedia Foundation 2016-17 Annual Plan, developed in close consultation with the user community. The approach tracks in particular with the goals the Annual Plan lays out for the Product Team, which promise, among other things, to “Invest in new types of content…curation and collaboration tools.”
 * Ensure good-faith new editors have more constructive, less discouraging experiences of edit and article review.
 * By providing richer data about recent changes, enable patrollers and edit-reviewers of all types to work more efficiently and to pursue diverse interests (e.g., fighting vandalism, supporting new users) in a more effective and targeted way.

解决方案
This project is in a research phase and no concrete product plans have been formalized as of this writing (in June 2016). To begin to address the problems of struggling but good-faith newcomers, however, a good first step will be to ensure that we can find them. The Collaboration Team’s quarterly goal for the first quarter of 2016-2017 (July-September 2016) is to “create a process that enables edit-reviewers to identify the edits of good-faith new users, so that these edits can be reviewed separately.”

To achieve this, we propose to analyze recent changes using data from a variety of sources, including and most notably the machine-learning program ORES (Objective Revision Evaluation Service). ORES’s good faith model, trained on human judgement, can find 95% of good-faith edits with 98% accuracy. ORES can also predict edits that will be reverted and those that are damaging to the wikis.

While research shows that new editors are particularly vulnerable to rejection, there’s also evidence that edit-review and even rejection can be a powerful learning experience for newcomers. For reviewers interested in supporting new users, then, a stream of edits that are a) likely to be reverted but which were b) made in good faith will, we hope, represent a string of teachable moments.

The edit analysis described above may be presented to users in a number of ways, including:
 * On a dedicated page similar to PageTriage's Special:NewPagesFeed.
 * On Recent Changes and/or Watchlist via filters.
 * In machine-readable feeds that can be ingested by edit-review programs (e.g. Huggle/Snuggle/STiki/etc.).

Current activity

 * To visualize possible product directions, the Collaboration Team is exploring design concepts while continuing to research the issues.
 * To better gauge the size of the problem and be able to track progress, we’re working to define and measure new-editor retention.


 * Design Research is organizing and conducting interviews with users touched by this issue in various ways, to better understand their motivations and workflows. Groups who will be interviewed in the near term include: anti-vandalism patrollers, recent changes patrollers, Teahouse hosts, Welcoming Committee members, and AfC reviewers.
 * The Research and Data team is working to make predictions better by refining the accuracy of prediction models.


 * There was a discussion of the project at Wikimania 2016, in June

In order to help reviewers to easily find the contributions they look for, we plan to improve the way filtering works on the Recent Changes page. The goal is to make the list of contributions easy to filter, allow for more filter criteria (especially those relevant for helping newcomers) and facilitate combining multiple filters for different purposes.

This interactive prototype illustrates the filtering concept proposed. For additional context, you can check.

Before reaching there, this will be done in multiple steps inside a beta feature. More details below.

初步作為
Initially, namespaces and tags won't be integrated into the filtering system. Filters related to ORES will be supported. These filter include:
 * Review. Filters that allow reviewers to focus on those contributions not reviewed yet, or those already processed by other reviewers.
 * Contribution quality. Filters that allow to identify contributions that are good or damaging.
 * User intent. Filters that allow to identify contributions that were made in good or bad faith.
 * User experience level. Filters that allow to target edits depending on the expertise of their author.

未來規劃
Creating the streams/pages of “teachable moments” described above has the potential to establish edit-review as a new space for instructing and supporting new editors. The mere existence of such a platform, however, won’t in itself ensure that this new practice will take root. To truly have an impact on newcomer retention, interventions may be required at multiple points in the editing and review cycles: before publication, to spot problems and enable authors to seek help; during review, to facilitate a constructive process; and even after review, to help new users overcome rejection and learn from from their experiences.

In addition to exploring ideas for intervening at various points, we’re pursuing answers to questions such as these:
 * How can we bring reviewers to this new activity?
 * What would make reviewers most effective in the job of supporting newcomers during edit review?
 * How can we make the process rewarding for reviewers, so that they stay involved?

The counter-vandalism community also has an important role to play in this arena. Richer data about edits and editors should make patrollers of all types not only more discriminating about which edits might be in good faith, but also more efficient at their job of combating harm. It will be important to work closely with vandalism fighters and others to understand how their processes and tools might best be adapted to realize these potential gains.

原則
As we pursue this project, the following principles will guide our planning.
 * Smart but human. Use technology to support rather than replace human interaction. Artificial intelligence can provide analysis, but humans should make decisions.
 * Cross-community. Find solutions that will work across language groups and projects, rather than building wiki-specific tools.
 * Platform not feature. Seek solutions that are extensible and reusable by current and future community-created and WMF tools.
 * Mobile. Although edit-review is not currently popular on mobile, consider mobile users carefully in our plans.
 * Adoption. In addition to creating new technology, focus on finding ways to encourage reviewers to adopt and continue to use the new tools.
 * Integration. In seeking new solutions, build on and integrate with existing practices whenever possible.
 * Incremental approach. As we move into this new area, proceed incrementally to each milestone and then evaluate where to go next.
 * Participatory design. Collaborate with editors and tool developers already working in this space.
