Edit check experiment results

Hello everyone

Sorry to use English. 請幫助翻譯至您的語言. 感謝您。

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

我們最近在您的wiki測試了「參考檢查」，和其他10個wiki一同進行測試。此功能鼓勵新手編者和IP使用者在維基百科上新增段落時附上引用。

我們於2024年2月18日至4月4日期間在您的wiki測試了此功能。在測試期間，我們為50%的新帳號和IP使用者提供了「參考檢查」，而其餘50%的使用者則獲得常規體驗，沒有任何鼓勵。透過這種方式，我們可以比較兩組使用者的體驗。

我們的發現

「參考檢查」提高了新手編者發布的編輯品質，並且沒有造成任何嚴重干擾。平均而言，19%的使用者在未經要求的情況下附上參考資料。當「參考檢查」鼓勵他們附上引用時，該百分比上升到42.4%。當使用者被鼓勵時，在行動裝置上新增的參考資料數量是在桌面裝置上的4.2倍。

至於針對您的wiki，平均有26.6%的使用者在未經要求的情況下附上參考資料。當「參考檢查」鼓勵他們附上引用時，該百分比上升到57.6%，是我們獲得的最佳百分比之一。

我們已經公布了詳細結果，如果您還有任何疑問，可以問我。

我們的下一步

鑑於測試結果良好，我們結束了A/B測試，並為您的wiki的所有新手編者和IP使用者部署了「參考檢查」。

我們正在製定一項新的檢查，這是對IP使用者和新手編者的新鼓勵。我們正在為下一步的工作徵求意見。您認為，當新手編者開始編輯時，向他們解釋什麼是有用的？

如果您對這個專案還有任何疑問，可以問我。 Trizek (WMF)（留言）

--Cookai餅塊🍪_{（💬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.
