**Growth team newsletter #21**
frameless
Welcome to the twenty-first newsletter from the Growth team!

**New project: Positive reinforcement**
alt=Design mockup of the Positive reinforcement module for mobile users. The new module is first a summary of the number of views and can be expanded to show stats, graphs, and other contribution information.- The Growth team started a new project: Positive reinforcement. We want newcomers to understand there is an interest in regularly editing Wikipedia, and we want to improve new editor retention.- We asked users from Arabic, Bangla, Czech and French Wikipedia about their feedback. Some people participated at mediawiki.org as well. - We summarized the initial feedback gathered from these community discussions, along with how we plan to iterate based on that feedback. - The first Positive Reinforcement idea is a redesign of the impact module: incorporating stats, graphs, and other contribution information. This idea received the widest support, and we plan to start our work based on the design illustrated on the side.- Please let us know what you think of this project, in any language.

**For mentors**
We have worked on two new features, to inform them about the mentorship: 
** In the Mentor module, we now provide more information about the public nature of the mentors/newcomer relationship and the fact that talk pages are public.
** We now allow newcomers to opt-in and opt-out of mentorship.

**Scaling**
 "Add a link" available at more wikis ― Add a link feature has been deployed to more wikis: . This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure locally how this feature works. - "Add an image" available at more wikis ― Add an image feature will be deployed to more wikis: . These communities will be able to configure locally how this feature works. 

**Suggested edits**
 Selecting topics ―  We have created an "AND" filter to the list of topics at Special:Homepage. This way, newcomers can decide to select very specific topics ("Transportation" AND "Asia") or to have a broader selection ("Transportation" OR "Asia"). At the moment this feature is tested at pilot wikis. - Changes for Add a link ― We have built several improvements that came from community discussion and from data analysis. They will be available soon at the wikis.
** Algorithm improvements  ― The algorithm now avoids recommending links in sections that usually don't have links and for first names. Also, it now limits each article to only having three link suggestions by default (limited to the highest accuracy suggestions of all the available ones in the article).
** User experience improvements  ―   We added a confirmation dialog when a user exits out of suggestion mode prior to making changes. We also improved post-edit dialog experience and allow newcomers to browse through task suggestions from the post-edit dialog.
** Community configuration  ― We allow communities to set a maximum number of links per article via Special:EditGrowthConfig. 
** Future change for Add a link feature  ― We will suggest underlinked articles in priority. - Patrolling suggested edits ― Some users at Arabic Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, and Russian Wikipedia told us that "Add a link" and "Add an image" edits can be challenging to patrol. We are now brainstorming improvements to help address this challenge. We have already some ideas and we started some work to address this challenge. If you have any thoughts to add about the challenges of reviewing these tasks or how we should improve these tasks further, please let us know, in any language. 

**Community configuration**
Communities can configure how the features work, using Special:EditGrowthConfig.- Communities can set the maximum number of "add an image" suggested tasks a newcomer can complete daily. - Future change: allow communities to customize the "add a link" quality gate threshold easily, using Special:EditGrowthConfig.

**Growth team newsletter #22**
frameless
Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!

**Newcomers tasks reach the 500,000 edits milestone — more data publicly available**
As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks.  In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module. - About 30% of those edits were completed on mobile devices.- Usage continues to increase; in June 2022 almost 50,000 newcomer tasks were completed.
We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki. 
If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.

**Ongoing projects and explorations**
Positive Reinforcement project. The image displays the mockup for mobile we used for user testing.
We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.
We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.
Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).

**Experiments analysis**
Add a Link Experiment Analysis  has been published. The most important points are:- Newcomers who get the Add a Link structured task are more likely to be activated (i.e. make a constructive first article edit).- They are also more likely to be retained (i.e. come back and make another constructive article edit on a different day).- The feature also increases edit volume (i.e. the number of constructive edits made across the first couple weeks), while at the same time improving edit quality (i.e. the likelihood that the newcomer's edits aren't reverted).
Newcomer task edit type analysis has been published.- Communities had expressed concern that newcomers whose initial edits were structured tasks wouldn’t go on to learn how to complete more difficult tasks. The Growth team data scientist conducted a Newcomer task edit type analysis to see if this was indeed the case.- Results from analysis indicate that this likely isn’t a significant concern. More than 70% of users who start with the easy task "Add a link" also make another task type. Read the full analysis and methodology here.

**News for mentors**
A new system for the mentors list
The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.
At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.
The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. 
Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.
Learn more about this new structured page on mediawiki.org. 
A tip for mentors
Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.
And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges?  Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: , .
Other improvements
Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:- While we now offer some options for mentors to take a break, the option to quit mentoring was not easy to find. This will be improved. - Mentors at wikis using FlaggedRevisions will have a way to discover their mentees' pending edits. - Dashboard discovery for new mentors will be improved. 

**Recent changes and fixed bugs**
 We moved to a new Image Suggestions API. This new API will allow us to deploy Add an Image to more wikis. - Starting September 19, a few more wikis now offer Add an image to newcomers. These wikis are , , , , . - Add an image has been disabled for a few days due to technical issue. "Add an image" added a blank line instead of an image. This has been fixed. - In order to know if Special:EditGrowthConfig is used by communities, we now instrument page loads and saves of configuration.
