Community consultation: Growth Editing team's annual plan (2024-2025, WE1.2)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

User story & summary:

As a Wikipedia editor interested in new editor onboarding and retention, I want to know about FY24/25 WE1.2 projects, because then I can offer my feedback and insight.

Background:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2024-2025/Product_&_Technology_OKRs#Draft_Key_Results

The Growth-Team & Editing-team will work on projects related to WE1.2:

Key Result:
Constructive Activation: #% YoY increase in the percentage of newcomers who publish ≥1 constructive edit in the main namespace on a mobile device. (T360829: WE 1.2: Establish baseline for constructive activation)

Key Result context
Current full-page editing experiences require too much context, patience, and trial and error for many newcomers to contribute constructively. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks).

Current Projects / Hypotheses:
  • Design together a new prototype for Edit check, to confirm the viability of the feature (Constructuve activation, WE1.2)
    • Editing Community conversation (virtual meeting on May 2, in French)
Acceptance Criteria:

Event Timeline

Blocked until after the initial WMF annual plan consultation, and the initial hypotheses are drafted.

@Trizek-WMF - We've completed two of the acceptance criteria steps for this task... is there more than you think we should do to help share the Growth or Editing team annual plans? Or should I update this task and resolve it?

We had community conversations to introduce our next plans, which was the goal for Q4. Now that we have entered the new fiscal year and learned from our communities regarding the Contributors goal, I consider the task as done. I'll check with @SonjaPerry about the next steps.
