Edit Discovery
There are many paths people can take to contribute to Wikimedia projects.

This page offers an overview of the various entry points to these paths that are present within Wikimedia project interfaces.

Objectives
This page, and the practice of maintaining it, is designed to equip Wikimedia Foundation Product Teams with the resources and information they need to help volunteers, across experience levels, intuitively discover opportunities to improve Wikimedia Projects.

Initially, this page is intended for product team members who are seeking to expose a new contribution opportunity to volunteers a way to evaluate all of the existing editing entry points so they can decide to do one of the following three things:


 * 1) Whether to create a new entry point,
 * 2) Integrate with an existing entry point
 * 3) Consolidate existing entry points

Entry Point Inventory
This section will contain a list of editing entry points that are currently present within Wikimedia project interfaces, across platforms and devices.

Meta
Sketching architecture for the information we'll gather about each entry point...


 * : name of entry point
 * : the contribution type the entry point is an inlet to (e.g. Article edit)
 * : the platform(s) the entry point is available on
 * : image(s) of the entry point being described
 * : what data/evidence do we have to help us understand the impact a given entry point has on peoples' likelihood to: A) make a constructive contribution and B) return to make more contributions
 * : who the entry point is available to (logged in, logged out, user edit count buckets, etc.)
 * : a free-form field for any information that may not fit in an existing column. (e.g attributes of an entry point: "persistent," "opportunistic," "proactive," etc.)

Inactive Entry Points
This section will contain a list of editing entry points that are no longer present within Wikimedia project interfaces, across platforms and devices.
