Edit check experiment results

Hello everyone

Sorry to use English. 请帮助翻译至您的语言. 感谢您。

We recently tested References Check at your wiki, so as at 10 other wikis. This feature encourages newcomers and IP users to add citations when they add a new paragraph on Wikipedia.

We tested this feature at your wiki between February 18 and April 4, 2024. We gave References Check to 50% of new accounts and IP users, while the remaining 50% got the regular experience, with no encouragement. This way, we were able to compare the experience for the two groups.

What was found?

Reference Check caused an increase in the quality of edits newcomers publish and did not cause any significant disruption. on average, 19% of users were adding a reference without being asked to. When References Check encourages them to add a citation, the percentage increases to 42.4%. On mobile, users add references 4.2 times more than on desktop when they are encouraged to.

For your wiki specifically, on average, 26.6% of users were adding a reference without being asked to. When References Check encourages them to add a citation, the percentage increases to 57.6%, one of the best percentages we got.

We published the detailed results, and you can ask me if you have any more question about it.

What is next?

Given the good results, we ended the A/B est and deployed References Check for all beginners and IPs at your wiki.

We are also working on a a new Check, a new encouragement for IPs and newcomers. We are looking for ideas for this next step. In your opinion, what could be useful to explain to beginners when they start editing?

You can ask me if you have any more question about this project. Trizek (WMF)（留言） 2024年6月26日 (三) 15:56 (UTC)

大家好

我们最近在您的wiki测试了“参考检查”，和其他10个wiki一同进行测试。此功能鼓励新手编者和IP使用者在维基百科上新增段落时附上引用。

我们于2024年2月18日至4月4日期间在您的wiki测试了此功能。在测试期间，我们为50%的新帐号和IP使用者提供了“参考检查”，而其馀50%的使用者则获得常规体验，没有任何鼓励。透过这种方式，我们可以比较两组使用者的体验。

我们的发现

“参考检查”提高了新手编者发布的编辑品质，并且没有造成任何严重干扰。平均而言，19%的使用者在未经要求的情况下附上参考资料。当“参考检查”鼓励他们附上引用时，该百分比上升到42.4%。当使用者被鼓励时，在行动装置上新增的参考资料数量是在桌面装置上的4.2倍。

至于针对您的wiki，平均有26.6%的使用者在未经要求的情况下附上参考资料。当“参考检查”鼓励他们附上引用时，该百分比上升到57.6%，是我们获得的最佳百分比之一。

我们已经公布了详细结果，如果您还有任何疑问，可以问我。

我们的下一步

鉴于测试结果良好，我们结束了A/B测试，并为您的wiki的所有新手编者和IP使用者部署了“参考检查”。

我们正在制定一项新的检查，这是对IP使用者和新手编者的新鼓励。我们正在为下一步的工作征求意见。您认为，当新手编者开始编辑时，向他们解释什么是有用的？

如果您对这个专案还有任何疑问，可以问我。 Trizek (WMF)（留言）

--Cookai饼块🍪_{（💬留言）} 2024年6月26日 (三) 16:55 (UTC)

@Trizek (WMF): Hello, thank you for your information!

As I said before, it is recommended that displaying reminders, which include information about our policy, when users select the "No" option (See my detailed suggestions in the previous discussion). Moreover, some users often translate articles from other language Wikipedia, where the content may not have references (e.g. Special:Diff/82953754). Thus, it is recommended to add a new dismissing reason "I translate articles from other language Wikipedia" or something else.--SCP-0000（留言） 2024年7月5日 (五) 16:25 (UTC)

Growth News, July 2024

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. 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). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
