 * 影響モジュール: ページを編集した後、そのページの閲覧者数が表示されます.
 * ヘルプパネル: 編集中の新規参加者に、便利なリソースを提示するプラットフォームです. 新規参加者向けのホームページでおすすめ編集を選ぶと、編集のプロセスに沿ってステップごとにガイドが表示されます.
 * ようこそアンケート: 新規参加者がウィキペディアにアカウント登録した動機をコミュニティに伝えます.

これら機能の概要ページを開いて、それぞれの紹介をご参照ください.

Are Growth features effective?
Growth チームの分析では、これら機能の有効性が証明されています. 手短に述べると、Growth 機能の「編集初学者向けのタスク」は次の各点で役に立ちます.


 * 新規加入者が初めて記事を編集をしてみる可能性 (+11.6%)
 * そのまま編集者として続けていく可能性
 * ウィキに登録後の半月ほどで、対象者が行った編集の回数 (+22%)

また対象グループと比較したところ、編集の質にも有意な差が表れました. これに基づき、すべてのウィキペディアでGrowth 機能の採用が検討されるべきと考えます.

インターフェースはまだ翻訳が終わっていません. 私にできることはありませんか？
翻訳はtranslatewiki.netに一覧があります. このウィキはウィキペディアとは別に、独自のアカウント登録が必要です.

新しく投稿した訳文の反映まで、通常は最大で1週間お待ちください.

特別ページの命名には、別途、専用の手順があります. 下記の文字列については右の宛先へ、訳文を直接、当チームにお知らせ願います: ,  ,  ,.

機能をお試ししたいんですが？
試用するにはGrowth 機能を導入済みのウィキに加えてtest.wikipedia.orgを開き、個人設定をクリックして次の設定をしてください.

ぜひ、これらのオプション機能を両方とも 有効にしてください. おすすめ編集をご自分のホームページに表示するには、ヘルプパネル helpが必要だからです.
 * 'タブをタップしてヘルプパネル'''を有効にします. （訳注＝横の箱をタップして白以外の色に変え、保存ボタンをタップ. ）
 * ' タブで新規参加者ホームページを有効にします. これを有効にすると、新規参加者向けのタスク'''が表示されます.

私たちのウィキでも機能を使いたいんですが？
現状で Growth チームが機能を導入する対象はウィキペディアです. しかしながら以下の条件にご同意の場合は、その他のウィキからこれらの機能のリクエストを受け付けています.

詳細はチームの目標にまとめたとおり、次の優先順位にしたがって指定のウィキと共同作業を進める予定です.


 * 1) ウィキペディアで開発の「対象」（ターゲット）に設定したウィキ  – 提供されたフィードバックはすべて公開します.
 * 2) ターゲット以外のウィキペディア – 機能を提供 しますが、改良点のご指摘を受け付けるかどうか未定です.
 * 3) その他のウィキメディアのプロジェクト群 – 機能を提供しても、それぞれの特性に沿った改良を優先事項に加える時間的な余力は当チームにはないと見込まれます.

新規登録したアカウントに機能はどう表示されますか？
Growth 機能を導入済みのウィキと、A/B 試験を実行中のウィキでは新規登録アカウントの80%に自動で表示します. 後者の残り20%は対照グループに加えます. そのグループは、Growth チームがそれぞれの体験を比較検討するために存在しています.

Growth 機能を導入済みのウィキでA/B 試験を実行中ではない場合、新規登録アカウントの100%に表示します.

既存のアカウントにも機能は表示できますか？
Growth 機能を導入済みのウィキでは、個人設定に機能を載せてあります.

ワークショップの主催者です. 生徒たちが新規にアカウントを登録した場合に、これらの機能を表示させるかどうかコントロールできますか？
リンク パラメータを設定し、コントロールすることは可能です：


 * will force Growth features at account creation
 * will force the default experiment at account creation

Of course, this parameter should have a very limited use. It would impact the data collected by Growth team around account creation and the usage of the features. Please let us know if you plan to use these parameters.

Homepage
'' The following items are only valid for the wikis where the Growth features have been deployed. ''

How to access the homepage?
If you recently created your account on Wikipedia, the homepage is accessible by clicking on your username, the link located at the top right of any page.

If you already have an account on Wikipedia, you need to enable the homepage in your preferences. When done, the homepage is accessible by clicking on your username, or on your talk page link. There, you will find a new tab that goes to your homepage. You also have an option in your preferences to go directly to your homepage when you click on your username.

My email is requested, or my email is displayed at the top of the Homepage. Why?
We assume that most people know how to use an email. As a consequence, we encourage users to add their email so that they can get notifications, like when they are mentioned by other users on wiki.

The email address won't be visible by other users. Communication with other users all happen on the wiki.

How topics and tasks are suggested?
We suggest articles that are a combination of both the selected topics and the tasks you'd like to work on.

If you only select task types, you get all articles that have the template corresponding to the task type. For instance, if you select no topic and "Copyedit" as a task, you will have up to 200 articles about copyediting, about any topic.

If you select "Europe" as a topic and "Copyedit" as a task, you will have up to 200 articles about Europe that have a template about copyediting.

If you add "Expand article" to the previous selection, you have articles that are about Europe, and either about copyediting and expanding.

If you add "Asia" to the previous selection, you will have article either about Europe or Asia, and either about copyediting and expanding.

Can I monitor which articles have been edited as Suggested edits?
Articles edited as Suggested Edits are tagged as such in Recent Changes and Watchlist.

How to monitor which topics or which tasks need more articles?
Please use.

I don't have any task for a given combination. Is it normal?
Some topics don't have a lot of articles. As a consequence, they have less articles being tagged with maintenance templates, leading to a limited choice.

A user uses the tools in an nonconstructive way. What can I do?
Overall, users make more constructive edits using the Growth features. However, you can see a given user who doesn't follow the guidance, and uses the tools in an inappropriate manner.

The most appropriate way to handle these situation is to apply the usual process for nonconstructive behavior:
 * 1) try to understand what the use tries to do,
 * 2) contact this user, explain the situation, ask them for details and guide them to a different path if it exists,
 * 3) if the nonconstructive behavior persists, then block the user.

If repetitive and similar nonconstructive edits are made at your wiki, please let us know. Add to your message some diffs as examples of nonconstructive edits so that the Growth team can analyse the situation and think about a solution.

I enabled the Homepage in my user preferences. When I select an article to improve on the Homepage, I don't see any guidance on the article.
Have you turned the Help panel on in your preferences? If yes, please let us know about this issue.

How to provide more tasks for newcomers?
Newcomers are invited to work on 5 maintenance tasks, ranked by level of difficulty: Tasks are listed based on maintenance templates. To increase the number of tasks being available, you can:


 * Add other templates that match the definition of the task to  on your wiki
 * Add maintenance templates to more articles on your wiki.

Sometimes, easy tasks are not available because experienced editors work on them. We advise experienced users to work on more difficult tasks instead, to let newcomers having a chance to make their first edits.

We want to change some links displayed on the Help panel. How to do it?
An interface admin can change these links using.

We can assist you in this task. Please contact us with your request; please provide a link to the community discussion that led to this change.

Can we suggest a new task type, or assign a different difficulty level to an existing task?
It is not possible at the moment. Please let us know about your potential project.

Structured tasks - Add a link
 The following items are only valid for the wikis where Structured tasks - Add a link'' has been deployed. ''

Which wikis have Structured tasks - Add a link ?
You can find the list in the deployment table.

What is the accuracy of Structured tasks - Add a link predictions?
The predictions are, on average, accurate at 70%.

Some people asked us if it would be possible to have a better prediction. It would be possible, but it would diminish the interest of the task. We encourage newcomers to understand why a suggested link would be (or wouldn't be) interesting for readers, and to decide weather they should include it. Higher prediction rate would remove any interest for the task, since including links would be the default answer.

My wiki doesn't have the Growth mentoring system. How can I set it up?
First, you need to check if the Growth tools are deployed at your wiki. If it is not yet the case, please see how to get the features.

Then, you have to find some other mentors to volunteer.

All mentors have to sign-up on a specific page, using a specific syntax.

If your community has setup a mentorship program using the Growth features, the page for your wiki should be listed under this Wikidata item.

At your wiki, an interface admin has to add the mentor list to the configuration page.

How many mentors does a wiki need?
Based on our observation, we advise to have one mentor for each group of 500 new users your wiki gets per month. For instance, if your wiki has 2,500 new accounts per month, your should have at least 5 mentors.

We recommend to have at least 3 mentors.

How mentors are assigned to newcomers?
Each new account receives a mentor randomly taken from a list of volunteers.

How many messages does a mentor receive per week?
It is difficult to know. It depends on how motivated newcomers are, and on the number of mentors for the wiki.

On average, we observe between 0 to 6 messages per week, with some fluctuations between weeks.

Have you considered to assign a mentor only to people who already made some edits?
We don't know what each newcomer needs. Based on this research, some new users need a confirmation of their right to edit before making their first edit. Some other editors may like to have more information about editing before starting editing. As a consequence, we provide a mentor to each new account. It is then up to the newcomer to contact their mentor.

Our wiki already has a mentoring project. Is the Growth mentoring system replacing it?
We assume that your mentoring system is a list of experienced users who are available for motivated new users, who have specific questions about specific topics. Most are listed on Wikidata.

It is up to your community to find the right way to integrate the Growth mentoring feature. Some options include:

 Replace your mentoring system with the new one 

If your mentoring system hasn't much success, it could be replaced by the Growth team features.

 Have both systems working together You can imagine to have two roles: In this case, you might have to locally translate the interface for Growth features using your own terms.
 * Growth mentoring takes care of the newcomers basic questions,
 * The existing mentoring can take care of newcomers who are more involved.

Where can I signup as a mentor ?
If your community has setup a mentorship program using the Growth features, the page for your wiki should be listed under this Wikidata item.

Your community may have defined some conditions to become a mentor. Usually, it is asked to have a good enough experience of how to edit the wiki (500 edits and 90 days of presence).

How do I introduce myself as a mentor?
When you sign up to become a mentor, the following syntax must be used, with:

Can we reassign a newcomer to a different mentor?
Yes, it is possible using.

A mentor just quit. Can we reassign all their newcomer to different mentors?
You can use  to reassign  but if you want to reassign all newcomers, please contact us directly.

We are currently working on a Mentor dashboard that will allow mentors to reassign all newcomers at one if needed.

How can I display the mentor of a given user? / How to add the mentor name to our welcome message?
Type the magic word  in a wikitext page, and preview. "Foo" has to be replaced by the username you target. This will display the name of Foo's mentor.

This magic word can be used in a template: welcome message, user talk page messages, userbox, etc.

If the mentor changes, then the magic word picks the new mentor's name.

You can "subst:" this message if needed:. Foo's mentor will then be saved as wikitext.

We renamed our mentors list and now we get no questions from newcomers. How to fix this?
Have you updated  with the new page name?

What kinds of questions do newcomers ask?
From the observations we have made, questions are mostly about basic editing.

Some questions are social interactions ("hello"), coming from users who try the tools to check if someone would respond. We encourage you to respond to these greetings, since they can be the beginning of some interactions.

Based on communities experiences, the Growth team worked on a guide for mentors who have to reply to these questions.

Newcomers haven't replied to my messages. Why?
Two possible cases there:
 * Have you mentioned the user when responding? Newcomers don't know how to use the watchlist or other tools to monitor changes. The Homepage shows a way to come back to the mentor's talk page but mentioning them is most sucessful. A ping will action a notification, which is the most successful way to let newcomers know that they have an reply to their messages.
 * Newcomers don't come daily on the wikis. Some of them will respond after a few days, some others after a few weeks. Mentors, please consider this when you archive your user talk page.

Who can I ask if my mentor is not responding to me?
If your mentor is not available you can ask your question to the local help desk, or to any other experienced user.

Can I ask to have a different mentor ?
You can contact another mentor and ask them to become your mentor. If you agree, the mentor will make the change.

As a mentor, how can I monitor the newcomers assigned to me?
We are currently working on a Mentor dashboard. This dashboard will soon be available for mentors.
