Growth チームは中規模ウィキペディアで新しい寄稿者の定着に役立つよう、ソフトウェアの改良に取り組んでいます.

一般

 * もっと多くのウィキへ：チームではウクライナ語版とハンガリー語版ウィキペディアに Growth 機能を展開する予定です. チェコ語、朝鮮語、アラビア語、ベトナム語、バスク語の各版ウィキペディアにも実装済み. もし皆さんのウィキでも新人編集者を熱烈に歓迎するつもりでしたら、ご連絡をいただき、ぜひ適格かどうか一緒に確かめませんか. それに引き続きチェックリストに付き合わせて機能の設定をどうするか検討する作業に入れます.
 * メンター研修：チェコ語コミュニティを対象に初のメンター対象の研修を行い、経歴の長い利用者が新人の定着を助ける技量を築くことを目指しました.
 * メンター向けガイドを更新しました. ぜひ翻訳に取りかかってください！

ヘルプ パネルの結果
The help panel was first deployed to newcomers in January 2019, and we have now finished analyzing data to determine its impact. A brief summary is below, and more in-depth information can be found here (in English).
 * In summary, although we have seen a good amount of usage of the help panel, the help panel has not shown an increase in activation (whether a user makes their first edit) or retention (whether a user returns to edit again).
 * This is a disappointing result, and our team has discussed potential reasons for the result and ideas for the future. Although we have many ideas for how to improve the help panel, we have decided to keep our attention on the newcomer homepage and newcomer tasks projects for the coming months.
 * We'll be using the help panel as part of the newcomer tasks project: using it to guide newcomers while they complete suggested edits.
 * We welcome questions and thoughts about this on the project's talk page.

Newcomer tasks deployment



 * The first version of the newcomer tasks workflow (V1.0) will be deployed in the next weeks on our 4 priority wikis. This version will suggest articles to edit based on maintenance templates.  In this first version, we expect many newcomers to initiate the workflow, but not many to select articles to edit or complete edits.  We expect future versions of the feature to increase those behaviors.
 * We're excited about this project because the majority of newcomers visit their newcomer homepage, and this will be the first element of the homepage that clearly asks the newcomer to start editing.
 * These are the next two versions of the feature, which are already being planned:
 * V1.1 (topic matching): will allow newcomers to choose topics of interest (such as Art, Music, Sports, or Technology) to personalize their suggestions. After evaluating several approaches, we have decided to use a new ORES model built by the WMF Scoring team.  The model will automatically identify the topic area of each article.  We expect this to increase how often newcomers select articles to edit.
 * V1.2 (guidance): once newcomers arrive on an article to edit, we will use the help panel to provide guidance about how to complete the editing task. We expect this to increase how many newcomers actually complete productive edits.
 * The project page includes links to the designs of the workflow, and we welcome questions and thoughts on the talk page.
