 Growth दल की उन्नीसवीं समाचार पत्रिका में आपका स्वागत है!

Growth दल का उद्देश्य है सॉफ़्टवेयर में ऐसे बदलावों पर काम करना जो विकिमीडिया परियोजनाओं पर नए योगदानकर्ताओं को योगदान करने में उत्सुक करे।



संरचित कार्य

 * "एक कड़ी जोड़ें" दल का पहला संरचित कार्य है। यह नए लोगों से आसानी से सम्पादित करवाने के लिए मशीन-शिक्षा की मदद से विकिकड़ियाँ सुझाता है। इसे मई 2021 में चार विकिपीडियाओं पर तैनात किया गया था और फिर शुरुआती परिणामों के विवेचन के बाद जुलाई को आठ अधिक विकिपीडियाओं पर। अभी तक हमने नवागंतुकों से काफ़ी सारा काम पाया है। इस सुविधा वाले समुदायों ने सुधार के लिए मूल्यवान विचार प्रदान किए। हम सुधारों पर काम करके अधिक समुदायों से संपर्क करके इसे तैनात करेंगे।
 * "Add an image" is the team's second structured task, currently in development. It is an editing task that suggests Commons images for unillustrated Wikipedia articles.  We have conducted many community discussions and tests. Then, we've decided to build a first prototype.  We'll first deploy it only to our pilot Wikipedias, to learn whether newcomers can be successful with the task. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. These prototypes have already been tested by newcomers, in English and Spanish.

News for mentors

 * The Mentor dashboard is available at our pilot wikis: Arabic, Czech, and Bengali Wikipedias. It will soon be available at a few more volunteering wikis, as a test.
 * At wikis where the mentor dashboard is deployed, a new filter is available for mentors. Mentors can monitor their mentees' activity in Watchlist and RecentChanges, so they can help support their mentees' work. For privacy reasons, this filter can't be accessed by someone else than the mentor itself. This filter only filters mentees assigned to the mentor. This filter is not visible for people who are not listed as mentors



सामुदायिक भागीदारी

 * Communities now have the ability to configure how Growth features behave on their own wikis. At Special:EditGrowthConfig, community members can add a list of volunteer mentors, alter the templates used for suggested edits, update help links, and more. This special page is editable by administrators and interface admins.

Scaling

 * We are proud to announce that all Wikipedias now have the Growth features! Thank you to all the community members who helped the team build the features and bring them to their wikis.  The only exception is Chinese Wikipedia (zh), for technical reasons.
 * The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 280 of the smallest of those Wikipedias have the features.
 * A test is undergoing at English Wikipedia: 25% of newcomers receive the Growth features. The results from this test will be part of a discussion of how to proceed on that wiki.
 * Now that Growth features are available at Wikipedia, the Growth team considers to extend them to other projects. Some Wikisource users have expressed some interest in getting Growth features. There is currently a discussion about implementing them on Wikisource.

News for communities

 * Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work.
 * The Growth features were recently used in a test amongst Latin American donors to give donors the opportunity to learn to edit. You can see the results here.
 * Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
 * Help:GettingStarted was a feature developed in 2013, which directed newcomers to articles that needed editing. We recently removed this feature from all wikis, because it has been replaced by the Growth features.
