Growth News, April 2024

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. 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.

Community Configuration

Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results

Add a Image experiment analysis results

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:

• The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
• The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
• The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
• A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).

Personalized praise experiment results

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)

English donors encouraged to try editing

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)

Future work

Annual Plan

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

未知用户在求闻百科发布阐释“中国价值观基础上的客观观点”的文章

今天下午，有用户在求闻百科发布文章《何谓“中国价值观基础上的客观观点”？简谈维基式“中立”的虚伪》。作者在修订历史中被移除了用户名，在页面中署名为与“求闻”谐音的“邱文”。

求闻百科的五条基本原则中，有四条与维基百科的五大支柱大同小异，唯将“维基百科采用中立观点”替换为“求闻百科采用中国价值观基础上的客观观点”。--CuSO₄ · 龙年大吉 2024年4月24日 (三) 12:38 (UTC)

求闻百科3年内100%倒闭。--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月25日 (四) 16:56 (UTC)

要看有没盈利方式（无论是卖会员、广告，烧线，还是靠收捐助）。对于求闻，只能是大路朝天，尊重祝福吧。——Sakamotosan路过围观 | 避免做作，免敬 2024年4月26日 (五) 01:07 (UTC)

你们这句话我记住了，三年后我会提醒你们的。嗯。--MilkyDefer 2024年4月26日 (五) 02:36 (UTC)

我无保证年限的观点，只是给了维持运营的经费来源推测。二哈毕竟纯属人各有志的事。基金会能执大义旗去收捐款（还有商业服务）；求闻能不能做成百度那样（或者萌百？），或者大概靠的是爱？——Sakamotosan路过围观 | 避免做作，免敬 2024年4月26日 (五) 03:36 (UTC)

如果做成百度那样，和倒闭也没啥区别了--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月26日 (五) 04:44 (UTC)

顺便一提，百度百科手机app将在6月底下线。--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月26日 (五) 04:46 (UTC)

若求聞百科的用戶重視「中國價值觀」的話，建議先好好檢視求聞百科的中國條目的惡作劇，從武当山、莊子、鍾離權、孔融、謝玄、駱賓王、李贽、周煌等等，到今天為止都有含有Wikipedia:持续出没的破坏者/User:Qqqyyy惡作劇內容。--Outlookxp（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 12:09 (UTC)

註：此處原有文字，因為违反讨论页指引，已由YFdyh000（留言）於2024年4月29日 (一) 15:56 (UTC)刪除，尚祈見諒。若有異議請至互助客棧或向管理員反映。

--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 12:55 (UTC)

这个话题是不是不太适合放在消息区？--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 13:08 (UTC)

你能去改日文维基，就已经算是很了不起了。维基正在系统性地封禁VPN等代理使用的IP地址，也就是说，你翻过墙后可以用所有网站，维基也能用，但有很大概率，你还没开始编辑，你就会被提示你的IP被禁止编辑了。换言之，你还没等着去这个“可以自由发表观点的平台”发表你的观点，你的嘴就被堵上了。

什么倒打一耙，不去骂墙反而骂维基，没见过这么不要脸的

维基另一种对欧美保守派的打压方法跟中国大陆的用户的办法有几分相似，即抬高编辑门槛。具体而言，对中国大陆的用户则是封禁代理IP地址，而对年龄普遍更大的保守派则是“wikitext”等编辑代码，维基软件的各种“弯路”也更难让年长者适应。这些都是直接在最开始就“劝退”潜在用户的方式，直接从源头处“解决遇到问题的人”。

阴谋论。

既然基金会里这么多号人马都跟美国政治绑上了关系，基金会做一些反映美国外交政策，针对跟美国外交关系不好的国家，那也是情理之中。

唉，美团

除了“九·一三”本身之外，基金会在2021年8月祭出的“NDA新规”限制中国大陆、伊朗等地的用户获取高级管理权限

鬼知道这些国家的管理员会不会突然像承德程序员一样被抓，然后有着管理员权限的账号落到铁拳手里，来打击别的维基用户--Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 13:26 (UTC)

最后放个图，呵呵（当然这图和求闻没关系，是百度）https://i.imgur.com/2XFsUIK.png --Dnaimfz（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 13:35 (UTC)

您的图片链接无效。--YFdyh000（留言） 2024年4月29日 (一) 15:56 (UTC)
