Talk pages consultation 2019/Communication/Announce/Phase 1

A consultation about talk pages will start soon
The Talk pages consultation is a global consultation planned between February and June 2019. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to define better tools for wiki communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently in the planning stage for that consultation. The phase where we collect information will start soon. Each of you will be invited to leave individual feedback about talk pages, and then discuss ideas with the group.

We are looking for volunteers to help run the consultation with their community or user group. You can help by creating a group, creating a discussion page and hosting discussion. You can sign up your participant group here.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other. Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.
