Wikistories for Wikipedia/zh

Wikistories is a project, under development since July 2021 by the Wikimedia Foundation's, that will let editors create short, visual and reliable knowledge from Wikipedia for quick consumption and easy sharing. It generates content in visual format to capture and distribute encyclopaedic knowledge that is less suitable for long form articles.

Background
2030年运动战略强调需要关注在全世界的维基媒体社群中公平分配知识共享的机会.

在许多正在排队的倡议中，$1正在准备一个项目，專注於维基媒体网站上可用内容的视觉表现，以及可以为这些内容的贡献和发现服务的工作流程.

视觉内容在维基媒体项目如何令人著迷的方式中扮演一個很重要角色. 图片、音频、视频增强了某些像是阅读维基百科條目这样简单的体验，并通过维基共享资源中每天增加的数百万筆的多媒体内容，为保存视觉记忆做出了巨大贡献.

On the internet in general, visually engaging content has become the primary form of content being consumed.

The Inuka team has been exploring how to make use of Wikimedia content for a more visual experience, through design experiments and usability studies that have contributed to projects such as the Wikipedia KaiOS app and. Wikistories is a further step in that direction, and is intended to make interacting with Wikimedia content more meaningful and inclusive for audiences across regions and demographics and their digital habits.



目标和目的
The goal for wikistories is to: amplify wikipedia content in short-form, visual formats, driving readership with new audiences.

The Wikistories tool would:


 * allow users to engage with Wikimedia content both as consumers and creators in a way that matches contemporary internet experiences.
 * be visually appealing, easy to contribute to, and meet reader needs with visual knowledge and be shareable.
 * 提供一种为快速贡献和消费来自可靠信息源的视觉知识的方式
 * 在撰稿人和读者方面都能接触到更大、更多样化的受众.

The objective of Wikistories is to: support contributions that require repackaging available long-form content in Wikipedia in an experience that is image/visual led.

This form of contribution takes into account the preferences of new audiences when contributing content, and makes it easier/more welcoming to contribute to knowledge successfully through mobile phones.

Wikistories aims to help achieve the objective of increasing short, visual content that positively influences contributor & reader engagement of new audiences with encyclopaedic content. Users can create, curate, contribute and consume our content in a visually-driven experience.

Assumptions/Hypothesis

 * If we provide an easy way for contributors to create/curate wikistories through their phones, then we will see an increase in diverse contributors from regions, communities, and languages that have been underrepresented in digital spaces.
 * Increase in visual content led experiences will lead to increased reader engagement with encyclopedic content.
 * An easy way to contribute using Wikistories would motivate new GLAMs to get started in the Wikimedia movement.



早期探索


在2020年底尝试了一个非常早期的设计概念版本，然后在2021年5月再次尝试了更多细节.



設計研究

 * Wikistories Indonesia Concept testing research gathered feedback from Indonesian editor communities on early concepts and designs for Wikistories, focusing on the experiences of potential Wikistories creators coming from the editing community
 * Wikistories Africa Concept testing user research in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa with new/potential contributors investigated the behaviour of content creators and consumers in three African countries with distinct user behaviours and context especially relating to Wikimedia.
 * Early adopters survey feedback: In collaboration with Wikimedia Indonesia organised a series of workshops and trainings for Wikistories. These workshops took place in-person in five Indonesian cities (Yogyakarta, Bandung, Padang, Jakarta, and Denpasar) between July and October of 2022. This survey project gathered structured feedback from Indonesian Wikipedia editors who attended these workshops, all of whom were early creators of Wikistories.
 * Early adopters moderated research: In order to more effectively conduct research with the Indonesian community, we worked with FloLab, a Jakarta-based UI consultant to help us with this project. Our aim was to understand the experiences of early Wikistory adopters, both creators and readers, focusing on their motivations and experiences creating and sharing stories. We also wanted to understand what motivated current and potential Wikistories readers and creators to engage with this feature.



Current Status

 * Starting July 2022, Wikistories has been in pilot under beta cluster in the Indonesian wiki.
 * So far, 800+ stories have been created by idwiki members + GLAM professionals from Indonesia.
 * To date, 200+ new editors have signed up on Indonesia Wikipedia & created at least 1 wikistory.
 * On June 30, 2022, the very first version of Wikistories for Wikipedia with minimal features focused on story creation, discovery and story consumption, was deployed in Bahasa Indonesian Wikipedia.
 * Following the deployment, there were several community and GLAM engagement activities that acted as channels of feedback on user experiences including early adopters survey & moderated research.
 * On October 5, 2022 we shared with the Indonesian community our plans to move out of beta to make stories created by contributors accessible to readers.
 * The feedback here entailed feature related improvements, product related improvements and policy related feedback. From this conversation; 6 votes agreed, 6 votes disagreed and 3 votes opposed having Wikistories on Indonesian wiki completely.


 * On April 6, 2023, the voting for Wikistories for Wikipedia Editorial policy kicked off.
 * On April 19, 2023 the voting came to an end with 11 votes agreeing with the proposal.
 * Inuka team reviewed the feedback provided by the community members on Indonesian wiki and began the definition and development of Wikistories editorial moderation features as proposed by the community.
 * This work is currently in progress and anticipate release by End of June, 2023.

夥伴關係

 * 1)  Storytelling with Paperclip: 
 * 2) * In December 2022, the Inuka team collaborated with Indian media company The Paperclip, during which time The Paperclip created four stories relating to football and history, sourced entirely from knowledge available on Wikimedia projects. The stories were shared by The Paperclip on their website, Twitter feed, and other social media channels. You can see the stories as Twitter threads here: 1, 2, 3,4.
 * 3) * Learnings from this collaboration have been summarised in this diff blogpost.
