Talk pages consultation 2019/Participant group sign-up/ko

Participant groups
Already existing groups are listed below.

You can create a new group, please follow the instructions.

What is a participant group
Participant groups are a critical part of the "hub-and-spoke" structure of the 2019 Talk Page Consultation. The primary project page on this wiki, MediaWiki.org, will be the centralized "hub" for the entire process. To allow for different types of Wikimedians to share their thoughts, we want everyone to be able to talk about wiki discussion systems in their primary language in an environment where they feel comfortable.


 * What is the name of the participant group?
 * A formal or informal name to identify the participant group. This can be an existing name (such as an affiliate name or WikiProject name) or an new name just for this consultation.


 * Which language?
 * The participant group should discuss talk pages in whatever language they feel most comfortable. The final report will however be done in English.


 * Which user will be the primary contact?
 * Participant groups can be as large or small as they decide, but each group needs one (or two users) to coordinate the group with the central talk page consultation here on MediaWiki.org.
 * This user needs to read and write English. We will be in regular contact with this user to make the process as easy as possible.
 * This user commits to treat all feedback and opinions equally, and take them into account in the final report.


 * How will you consult your group?
 * For some groups this may be on their home wiki, others may decide to discuss on another website (such as a social network, as many communities already do), while others may want to talk in-person, such as at an edit-a-thon.
 * In its first phase, the consultation is not a debate or a process to get a final decision on agreeing on what to do/not do. Each participant of the group gives individual feedback, following the guidances:
 * When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
 * What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
 * What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
 * What do you wish you could do, but can't due to the technical limitations?
 * What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
 * Every participant gives to others the opportunity to express themselves. At the end, the feedback is documented (see below).


 * When the feedback collection ends?
 * Community summaries for phase 1 are due by April 6, 2019. Ending the consultation by March 31 may be a good option to have enough time to analyze and structure the feedback.


 * Where will you document your discussions?
 * For conversations that happen on-wiki, please provide a link to the discussion. Setup a separate page on (biggest) wikis may help to track all the feedback. For conversations that happen off-wiki, please provide a link to a written summary of the discussions. These can be in your preferred language, and we will coordinate translations later.
