The Editor Engagement Experiments (E3) team continued work on its experiments related to onboarding new Wikipedians, and launched several new tools to Wikimedia projects. The team began running campaigns to learn about how many editors sign up on the top 10 Wikipedias, and how many sign up via the invitation to "Join Wikipedia" on the login page (see the list of active campaigns and analysis). Another tool, the CoreEvents extension, now logs MediaWiki core activity, like preference updates and page saves across all projects. For the Getting Started project, the team conducted usability testing of new designs. the E3 team also improved and refined the guided tours extension, including adding usability enhancements like new interface animations, support for community tours, and bug fixing. Work has begun on an experiment to deliver guided tours to all first-time editors. After the VisualEditor launch on the English Wikipedia, we started a micro-survey of newly-registered users to give us a first systematic look at the gender diversity of those creating accounts.
