Tareas para recién llegados
Newcomer tasks is the main feature on the newcomer homepage. It uses maintenance templates to suggest articles that contain easy edits, such as copyediting or adding wikilinks. Newcomers are able to choose topics of interest and then receive guidance for how to complete edits once they select an article. This feature is successfully generating productive edits from newcomers and increasing the number of newcomers who edit.

Overall numbers

 * As of January 2021, 8,200 newcomers have made 56,000 edits through this workflow, which is deployed to 17 Wikipedias.
 * The number of edits and editors has been increasing quickly, due to improvements to the feature and through more wikis deploying the feature.
 * They are making copyedits, adding links, and sometimes adding new content with references.
 * Newcomer tasks edits seem to be of high quality. Usually, 18% of edits made by newcomers are reverted. Only 12% of edits made by newcomers through newcomer tasks are reverted.
 * 21% of these users make 5 or more suggested edits.
 * 12% of these users make suggested edits on 3 or more days.
 * Some wikis engage more heavily with newcomer tasks than others. For instance, Persian Wikipedia does a very high number of suggested edits for its size.
 * Some users do a few suggested edits and then move on to more challenging contributions, such as content translation. Other users continue to do suggested edits day after day.

Impact experiment
In order to understand the impact of Growth features, and specifically "newcomer tasks", we deployed the features in a controlled experiment. Some newcomers received the features (the treatment group) and some did not (the control group). The experiment lasted for six months, and we collected data from Arabic, Vietnamese, Czech, and Korean Wikipedias.

In general, the analysis showed that the Growth features improve outcomes for newcomers. Below are the most important points.


 * Newcomers who get the Growth features are 11.6% more likely to make a first article edit (i.e. to be "activated").
 * Newcomers who get the Growth features are 26.7% more likely to make a first unreverted article edit.
 * We believe they are also more likely to be retained (i.e. come back and make another article edit on a different day).
 * The features also increase edit volume (i.e. number of edits) without reducing constructiveness (i.e. if edits are reverted).

We believe that these results confirm that the Growth features, in particular newcomer tasks, lead newcomers to edit more and lead newcomers to stay on the wiki for longer.

Because of these results, we think all Wikipedias should consider implementing these features.

Mentoría y panel de ayuda
El módulo de mentoría en la página de inicio de los recién llegados les asigna un mentor/a a cada uno entre los que se han inscrito. De esta manera, el recién llegado tiene una forma sencilla de hacer preguntas sin necesidad de hacerlo desde las páginas de discusión.

El panel de ayuda se muestra siempre que se está editando una página, y proporciona una forma de hacer preguntas al servicio de ayuda de su wiki. También les permite buscar páginas de ayuda.

Estos resultados son de noviembre de 2020:


 * 14.228 preguntas fueron realizados a los mentores por 11.785 usuarios/as.
 * 2.029 preguntas fueron realizaras desde el panel de ayuda por 1.544 usuarios.
 * Alrededor del 20% de los recién llegados que ven el panel de ayuda lo abren, y alrededor del 50% de los que lo abren interactúan con él.
 * El panel de ayuda por sí solo no aumenta las ediciones de los recién llegados, pero hemos conservado esta función porque la utilizamos para proporcionar orientación como parte del flujo de tareas de los recién llegados descrito anteriormente.
