Editing team/Community Conversations

Welcome! The Editing Team is using this page to collect the research and references that help us to understand the needs and challenges people experience contributing to Wikipedia.

Active Research
In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the Editing Team will be working on a set of improvements for the visual editor to help new volunteers from within Sub-Saharan Africa understand and apply the policies and guidelines necessary to publish changes they are proud of and projects consider useful.

We are using this page to expand and refine how we understand the needs and challenges people experience when contributing to Wikipedia so that we can ensure the solutions we are working are impactful.

Talk Pages Consultation
A global consultation that took place between February to June 2019, to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to define better tools for wiki communication. This effort brought volunteers from 20 wikis together with staff from the Wikimedia Foundation to define a product direction for building better tools for on-wiki communication. This product direction was documented in Phase 2 of the Talk Pages Consultation and provided the basis for what would become the Talk Pages Project.
