Growth/Newsletters/14



Welcome to the fourteenth newsletter from the Growth>mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth|Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in midsize>mw:Special:MyLanguage/New Editor Experiences/Midsize Wikipedias|mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Guidance
We released guidance, and the results are good. (include graph showing improvements in the numbers).

Structured tasks
we have new design ideas posted for structured tasks, and we want community members to check them out and react to them. They're posted along with some of the main questions we're thinking about. (include image from the designs).

Other changes

 * We are still engaging with more communities. We recently deployed the Growth tools to Persian Wikipedia and Hebrew Wikipedia check on the list
 * The Welcome survey has a new choice for people who created their account to translate articles. The goal is to find out how many newcomers have language skills, so that we can decide whether it is a good idea to integrate Content Translation as a newcomer task.
 * At the moment, questions asked through the Help panel are posted on the local Help desk. Czech Wikipedia is trying a new configuration, where the questions will be posted at the mentee's mentor talk page.
 * We are working on Variant C and D, with the goal of increasing the number of newcomers who start the newcomer tasks workflow. (include mockup of one of the variants).
