Growth/Communities/Get the Growth experiments on your wiki

It is possible for your wiki to get the Growth team features.

Conditions
As detailed on our focus, we will work with the following wikis by order of priority:


 * 1) Wikipedias we have engaged with (Czech, Korean and Vietnamese) – we handle all the feedback they give us
 * 2) Mid-sized Wikipedias – they get the features as they are, we may consider suggestions of improvements
 * 3) All other projects – they get the features as they are

Bug reports will be prioritized by the Growth team.

The pre-requested to get the experiments are listed below.

Community

 * 1) Get a community agreement
 * 2) * it is a discussion organized the community
 * 3) * that discussion must explain what are the prototypes and what are the conditions to get them (including the fact that you get them "as they are")
 * 4) * decide which features you want to try
 * 5) Do community building
 * 6) * get people Growth team can contact
 * 7) * get people ready to help – a list of mentors, be sure people are motivated!
 * 8) Create a Phabricator task with all the elements listed below:
 * 9) *Translations: say if they are done and provide the aliases
 * 10) *Configuration: give every element
 * 11) *Add the  Phabricator tag

Please note that the Growth team may refuse to deploy some features on a given wiki. Some of the reasons can be:


 * if it takes too much time to implement some features on a wiki (requesting a specific deployment, or fixing something),
 * if the critical number of mentors is not reached,
 * etc.
