Growth/Communities

While we focus on Arabic, Bangla, Czech and Vietnamese Wikipedias as our initial audiences, we are looking for information and input from various other places and demographics. Here are some ways you can help us.

Stay informed!
Check the current project updates and subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on your talk page! Feel free to share this information on your own wikis, or with anyone who might be interested.

Share your experience
Please post on the team’s talk page or the talk pages for our projects! We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wikis. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work.

Be a volunteer translator
Translate Growth experiments on Translatewiki.net (it requires a different account than your Wikimedia one).



Get the tools we develop on your wiki
Since December 2021, the Growth features have been deployed to all Wikipedia.

However, we are happy to see more communities getting our features in advance.

If your community is interested in an early adoption of the features we are offering, please consult the pre-requested.
