Growth/Feature summary/de



Studien haben ergeben, dass der Einstieg für Neulinge aus drei Hauptgründen schwierig sein kann: Technische, konzeptuelle und kulturelle. Vielen fehlen dabei die Werkzeuge, um diese Hürden zu meistern. Um diesen Mangel zu beheben, hat das WMF Growth-Team drei miteinander verbundene Module entwickelt, welche den Einstieg erleichtern sollen. Diese Funktionen konnten nachweislich den Einstieg, die Dauer der aktiven Mitarbeit und die Menge an Bearbeitungen von Neulingen verbessern.


 * Neulings-Startseite: Eine Spezialseite, die Vorschläge für Neulings-Aufgaben zeigt und einen guten Einstieg für Neulinge bietet. Die Startseite bietet Zugriff auf viele Angebote, inklusive einem Mentor, der persönlich und direkt bei den ersten Fragen helfen kann.
 * Newcomer tasks: a feed of suggested edits that help newcomers learn to edit. Newcomers have been making productive edits through this feed! Der Feed steht als Hauptthema auf der Homepage.
 * Hilfe-Panel: eine Plattform zur Bereitstellung von Ressourcen für Neueinsteiger beim Erstellen. Wenn Neulinge an Neueinsteigeraufgaben arbeiten, bietet ihnen das Hilfe-Panel dazu Anleitung.

Some features are also available for communities:
 * Community configuration : a special page where communities can change how Growth features work.
 * Mentorship features : a set of tools to match newcomers looking for advice with experienced editors ready to help.

Alle diese Funktionen sind sowohl für Desktop- als auch für mobile Geräte verfügbar. Auch erfahrene Nutzer können sie anschalten und benutzen. Du kannst diese Funktionen in einigen Wikis ausprobieren. They are available by default for newcomers at a majority of Wikipedias.

Neueinsteigeraufgaben
Diese Funktion ist die Hauptkomponente der Growth-Funktionen, die die Zahl der Neueinsteiger, die ihren ersten Beitrag erstellen und dann für weitere Beiträge wiederkommen, und die Zahl ihrer Beiträge erhöht. Newcomer tasks is a workflow that suggests articles to edit, shown to users via the "suggested edits module" on the newcomer homepage. Newcomers are able to choose from different types of edits (based on maintenance templates) and filter to topics of interest (based on ORES models). They then can choose from a feed of articles to work on. Once on an article, the help panel will provide guidance on how to complete the edit. In 2021, the Growth team is building new editing workflows that aim to make it smaller and easier for newbies, especially from mobile devices. These are called "structured tasks". As of June 2021, we have implemented the first structured task for adding wikilinks to four Wikipedias (Arabic, Czech, Vietnamese and Bengali). In it, an algorithm suggests to newcomers words or phrases that could be good wikilinks.

Neueinsteiger-Homepage
This special page hosts the newcomer tasks workflow, and contains other modules that give newcomers access to the most important things they need to see on their first day. After creating their account, newcomers see a popup (and some other notifications) encouraging them to visit their homepage, which is accessible through the link to their username along the top of their browser window. Though the team is still experimenting with different modules, here are modules that may appear on the homepage:


 * Mentorship module: assigns each newcomer an experienced user, and gives an easy way to post questions to the mentor's talk page. Mentors volunteer to take part by signing up. This feature has to be configured by the community to become active.
 * Modul Vorgeschlagene Bearbeitungen: siehe oben "Neueinsteigeraufgaben".
 * Hilfemodul: zählt Links auf häufig besuchte Hilfeseiten auf.
 * Impact module: shows newcomers the number of pageviews on each of the articles they have edited.
 * Emails: The page also encourages users to add and confirm their email address.

Bisherige Ergebnisse


 * The majority of newcomers visit their homepage, and many of them return to visit their homepage on subsequent days.
 * As of November 2020, 14,228 mentor questions have been asked by 11,785 users.
 * The homepage increases the number of newcomers who have confirmed email addresses.

'' For more information about the newcomer homepage, see this page on mediawiki.org. ''



Hilfe-Panel
This is a box that newcomers can open while they are editing. It does four things:


 * Guides newcomers while they do suggested edits.
 * Lists links to commonly visited help pages.
 * Allows newcomers to search for other help and policy pages.
 * Allows newcomers to ask a question directly to the help desk.

The help panel appears in both the wikitext and visual editors. When we deploy this feature, we make sure that a wiki's existing help desk (or Teahouse) will work with the features, and that experienced users watching the help desk are willing to receive the incoming questions.

Bisherige Ergebnisse


 * Etwa 20% der Neueinsteiger, die das Hilfe-Panel sehen, öffnen es. Und etwa 50% derjenigen, die es öffnen, interagieren mit ihm.
 * The help panel on its own does not increase newcomer edits, but we have retained this feature because we use it to provide guidance as part of the promising newcomer tasks flow described above.

Community configuration
Communities can change how the Growth features work by editing. We advise all communities to make configuration changes after a community discussion. Please inform us of your discussions when they happen, because we can help you on the issue you found, or assist you with the configuration. It is also very useful for us to know that you have that discussion, so that we can improve the features.

Mentorship
Mentorship features are a set of tools to match newcomers looking for advice, with experienced editors ready to help them.

Mentorship is activated using the Community configuration page. Mentors can then sign up visiting. This page is where mentors can configure their mentorship preferences, and, if needed, put themselves on pause or quit.

It is up to each community to decide on criteria to become a mentor. We advise community members to keep the criteria simple and encouraging, so that more mentors would signup.

Please visit our FAQ for more information.
