Wikistories for Wikipedia/uk

Стратегія руху 2030 підкреслює потребу зосередити увагу на справедливому розповсюдженні можливостей поширення знань у спільнотах Вікімедіа у всьому світі.

Серед багатьох започаткованих ініціатив, готується до проєкту, зосередженого на візуальному представленні контенту, доступного на сайтах Вікімедіа, і способах роботи, які зроблять так, щоб такий контент був створений і знайдений.

Ця ініціатива розробляється у рамках річного плану Фонду Вікімедіа на 2021-22 рік і має стати візуальним навчанням, що базується на наукових дослідженнях, знаннях, що відповідають спільноті й темі, та дослідженнях дизайнових і технічних. Деталі цього проєкту будуть додаватися на цю сторінку по ходу роботи за наступні 12 місяців, і ми очікуємо активності на сторінці обговорення проєкту.



Витоки та коротка історія
Візуальний вміст відіграє важливу роль у тому, як споживається контент Вікімедіа. Зображення, аудіо та відео значно покращують просте читання статті у Вікіпедії і роблять неоціненний внесок у збереження візуальної пам'яті завдяки мільйонам мультимедійних файлів, кількість яких все збільшується у Вікісховищі. Такі кампанії, як Вікі любить пам'ятки, збагачують цю глобальну місію, і в той же час забезпечують систему фундаментальної підтримки проєктам на зразок Віківидів чи Вікі любить метелики, які підтримують невеликі групи волонтерів.

Зі зсувом технологій за останні кілька років, глобально зросли візуальні форми взаємодії з контентом онлайн, і для молодих і нових користувачів інтернету візуально-захопливий контент стає основним інтернет-досвідом.

Поєднавши ці два аспекти, Команда Інука знайшла потенційну можливість розширити те, як контент Вікімедіа може бути адаптований для більш візуального досвіду. Through design experiments and usability studies that contributed towards projects such as Wikipedia KaiOS app and, this exploration progressed in small steps.

По ходу того, як зростає акцент на такому дизайні нашого продукту, який буде значущим та інклюзивним для аудиторій із різних регіонах, різних груп населення та цифрових звичок, виглядало, що це вдалий момент, щоб просунути ці дослідження далі, через проєкт під назвою Вікіісторії.



Цілі і завдання
The goal with Wikistories is to provide a suitable content format alternative for subjects that are not well served by long text or require advanced levels of prior knowledge.

The Wikistories tool will:


 * allow users to engage with Wikimedia content both as consumers and creators in a way that matches contemporary internet experiences.
 * be visually appealing, easy to contribute to, and meet reader needs with visual knowledge and be shareable.
 * дати спосіб для швидкого внеску і споживання візуальних знань із надійного джерела інформації
 * охопити більшу й різноманітнішу аудиторію як дописувачів, так і читачів

The objective of Wikistories is to support contributors to curate and engage with knowledge on Wikimedia projects in an experience that is image/visual led. This new form of content contribution will take into account the constraints editors in emerging digital communities face when contributing content, and make it easier/more welcoming to contribute to knowledge successfully through mobile phones.

The objectives we would like to accomplish through Wikistories are that:


 * an increase in visual content will lead to increased contributor & reader engagement with encyclopedic content in emerging digital communities
 * underserved users can create, curate, contribute and engage with knowledge through visually driven experiences.

Partnerships
The Wikimedia Foundation's Inuka team collaborated on storytelling with The Paperclip. (Collaboration announcement) This limited period collaboration ran from December 5, 2022 to December 15, 2022, during which time The Paperclip created 4 stories(1st tweet thread,2nd tweet thread, 3rd tweet thread,4th tweet thread) that have an interesting blend of football and documented history, all sourced entirely from knowledge available on Wikimedia projects. The stories were shared by The Paperclip on their website, Twitter feed, and other social media channels.



Дослідження дизайну
User research in four countries (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia) allowed us to validate the early creation and consumption experience of Wikistories. Qualitative user research with clickable Wikistories prototypes in Indonesia with existing contributors gathered feedback from Indonesian editor communities on early concepts and designs for Wikistories, focusing on the experiences of potential Wikistories creators coming from the editing community (Wikistories Indonesia Concept Testing Research Report). Qualitative user research with clickable Wikistories prototypes in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa with new/potential contributors investigated the behavior of content creators and consumers in three African countries with distinct user behaviors and context especially relating to Wikimedia (Wikistories Africa Research Report). In total, we tested 4 prototypes which included the following


 * Use Wikipedia articles to create a story.
 * Use images from commons to create a story.
 * Create a story using an automated creation flow.
 * Create a story by combining information from a Wikipedia article and Commons.

Learnings from user research helped us prepare the product scope for MVP & future versions of it.

Early Adopters Research
In order to more effectively conduct research in Indonesia, we worked with FloLab, a Jakarta-based UI consultant to help us with this project. Our aim was to understand the experiences of early Wikistory adopters, both creators and readers, focusing on their motivations and experiences creating and sharing stories. We also wanted to understand what motivated current and potential Wikistories readers and creators to engage with this feature.

The outcomes of this research are available here:


 * Readers segments
 * Creators and Editors segments.



Початкові дослідження
Ми базували концепт на гіпотезі, що якщо ми надамо легкий спосіб роботи дописувачам, які здебільшого роблять внесок зі своїх телефонів, то побачимо зростання різноманітності контенту, який вноситься. Це може бути особливо важливим для менших чи нових спільнот дописувачів, чиїх мови та теми соціокультурних зацікавлень залишалися значною мірою недопредставленими на платформі Вікімедіа.

Дуже рання спроба дизайнового концепту була зроблена наприкінці 2020 року, а тоді, з більшою кількістю деталей, у травні 2021.
