Wikistories for Wikipedia
|
Wikistories is a tool that lets 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. The Wikimedia Foundation's Inuka team actively worked on this project in July 2021 till June 2024.
Latar belakang
Strategi Gerakan 2030 menekankan perlunya edaran yang adil terhadap kesempatan berbagi pengetahuan di seluruh Komunitas Wikimedia di seluruh dunia.
Wikistories adalah salah satu prakarsa yang ditujukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ini; difokuskan pada perwakilan visual konten yang tersedia di situs Wikimedia, dan alur kerja yang dapat melayani kontribusi dan penemuan terhadap konten tersebut.
Konten visual memainkan peran besar dalam bagaimana konten proyek Wikimedia dikonsumsi. Gambar dan video meningkatkan pengalaman membaca artikel di Wikipedia dan tempat lain, dan bersumbangsih besar dalam melestarikan kenangan visual melalui jutaan berkas multimedia di Wikimedia Commons.
Di internet secara umum, konten yang menarik secara visual telah menjadi bentuk konten utama yang dikonsumsi.
Tim Inuka telah menjelajahi cara memanfaatkan konten Wikimedia untuk pengalaman yang lebih visual, melalui uji coba rancangan dan kajian kegunaan yang telah berkontribusi pada proyek seperti aplikasi Wikipedia KaiOS dan Wikipedia Preview. Wikistories merupakan langkah lebih jauh ke arah itu, dan ditujukan untuk membuat interaksi dengan konten Wikimedia lebih bermakna dan inklusif bagi khalayak di seluruh daerah dan demografi serta kebiasaan digital mereka.
Tujuan & Sasaran
Tujuan wikistories adalah untuk:' memperkuat konten Wikipedia dalam format visual yang pendek, mendorong kepembacaan dengan khalayak baru. Alat Wikistories akan:
- 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.
- menyediakan cara untuk kontribusi dan konsumsi pengetahuan visual yang cepat dari sumber informasi yang dapat diandalkan.
- menjangkau khalayak yang lebih besar, lebih baru, dan beragam, baik kontributor maupun pembaca.
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.
Anggapan/Hipotesis
- 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.
Penjelajahan Awal


Versi paling awal dari konsep rancangan dicoba pada akhir tahun 2020 dan kemudian dicoba lagi dengan rincian lebih lanjut pada bulan Mei 2021.
Penelitian Rancangan
- 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.

Status Kini
- Starting July 2022, Wikistories has been in pilot under beta cluster in the Indonesian wiki ( link ).
- 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.
- Pada 6 April 2023, pemungutan suara untuk Wikistories untuk kebijakan Kepenyuntingan Wikipedia dimulai.
- 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.
- Inuka team rounded up active improvement and development of the Wikistories tool at the end of June, 2024 (FY2023-24).
- The Wikistories tool is currently operational as a beta feature in Indonesian Wikipedia and is maintained by the Language and Product Localisation team.
Kemitraan
- Storytelling with Paperclip:
- 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.
- Learnings from this collaboration have been summarised in this diff blogpost.

Metrics
Wikistories has been in pilot under beta cluster in the Indonesian wiki since July, 2022 and the team continues to improve and maintain the tool for the purposes of testing these initial assumptions:
- 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.

Pembelajaran [bagian 1] 2022-2023
CO-CREATION/ COLLABORATION: by partnering with the Indonesia affiliate and community members, we were able to uncover 2 dynamics:
- Speed of Testing: experimenting and testing the new content format at different stages took time to reach a consensus with the community; working with them unfolded other unexpected needs for the tool. One of them which was a must-have, was to have an approved, editorial guideline in place, a process that we had to navigate at the community's pace.
- Targeted approach towards editors: identifying different types of editors/creators that preferred snackable content formats would have helped with editor motivation along with adoption & retention strategies. Wikistories Indonesia Early Adopters Research (Creators/Editors Segment) by FloLab highlighted 5 personas who we could have identified within the idwiki community to better understand editor motivations.
STORY CREATION PROCESS: by partnering with Paperclip, we aimed to understand how:
- Long-form, encyclopaedic content can be made into bite-sized content i.e. through curation.
- Repurposing content can happen with proper attribution.
- Content sourced & curated exclusively from wikipedia sources would be perceived by readers.
This case study uncovered 3 things:
- Curation: Curating from multiple article sources takes time and effort to dig deep and put together a compelling storyline; in comparison to a single sourced article. Curation was not heavy in the single-sourced thread (Indian roller) as compared the multiple-sourced thread (Football unheard series).
- Story creation: We saw that story creation could also take a text-first approach with images being used later in the creation journey to complement the narrative. Wikistories tool has taken an image-first approach similar to how most social platforms are designed.
- Reader Engagement: Stories that were relatable to readers received better engagement levels on Twitter.
CONSUMPTION/ READERSHIP: by hosting wikistories on Indonesia Wikipedia under beta cluster, we were able to uncover how testing readership would look like.
- Speed of Testing: pursuing different approaches to evaluate readership and consumption while still in Beta would have been an ideal strategy to ensure quick learnings. One possibility could have been, performing a controlled experiment with readers as soon as the product was launched.
Learnings [part 2] 2023-2024
