This task is about identifying the Wikipedias that will participate in the A/B test of the complete set of mobile DiscussionTools features: Reply Tool, New Topic Tool, Topic Containers, Clearer Affordances, and the new Page Frame.
There are two parts to this task:
- Identifying potential wikis for inclusion in the mobile DiscussionTools A/B test
- Confirming with these wikis that they are comfortable participating in the mobile DiscussionTools A/B test
Selection Criteria
The "Candidate wikis" ought to, collectively, meet the following requirements:
- People, across experience levels, depend on mobile talk pages to communicate with peers
- In aggregate, ≥ 2,000 unique people using mobile talk pages at the wikis included in the A/B test
- ≥ 25 unique Junior Contributors using mobile talk pages at each of the wikis included in the A/B test
- The test includes people from a range of cultures and geographies who communicate in a variety of languages and scripts
- ≥ 15 distinct wikis
- A minimum of one wiki whose volunteers communicate in an LTR language and one wiki whose volunteers communicate in an RTL language
