Growth/Personalized first day/Structured tasks/Add a link/Iteration 2/ar

The Growth team released the first version of Add a Link in May 2021, and gathered community thoughts and data in the following months. We then used those learnings to make improvements to the feature so that newcomers would have a better experience and experienced editors would see higher quality edits. We have completed the improvements, and communities are now using "iteration 2". With these improvements, the Growth team feels confident about rolling out “add a link” to most Wikipedias. Below are the improvements we made. Going forward, we will continue to learn from communities, from data, and make more improvements!

The Growth team completed the most requested improvements for “add a link” based on initial community feedback, and therefore we consider “iteration 2” complete. However, we are currently engaged with community members on several of our pilot wikis about how we can further improve “add a link” and other structured tasks. Based on these discussions we will continue to iterate and improve Growth features to best meet the needs of both newcomers and the community as a whole.
