Talk pages consultation 2019/Communication/Announce/Phase 1

Talk to us about talking


The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a TPC>mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.


 * We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups. You can help by creating a discussion page and hosting a discussion. You can participantgroup>mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Participant group sign-up|sign up your participant group here.


 * You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other. Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us Tools>mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Tools in use|how your group communicates.

Soon, we will invite you to leave individual feedback about talk pages and other ways that you communicate. Then we will discuss ideas with the group.
