Question from NintendoTTTEfan2005 on Help:Contents (20:30, 11 April 2024)[edit]
"Am I the only one that thinks that Interstate 335 shouldn't redirect to the section on this page anymore? Since AASHTO has now approved Oklahoma's request to designate the Kickapoo Turnpike in their state as I-335 and signs for such will be put up on the road this year. Like I think that the Interstate 335 (disambiguation) page that I created earlier this year should be renamed Interstate 335, the existing page that redirects to the section on this article be deleted, and create a new page titled "Interstate 335 (disambiguation)" that redirects to the existing page of the same name. But I can't do this myself cause I am not an administrator, but if anyone reading this is an administrator, than I would really appreciate a response. " This what I said on the talk page for the Kansas Turnpike and I am wondering if there is anyone who is able to or willing to do this. Do you know how changing a page's name works? --NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 20:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- NintendoTTTEfan2005, You are free to edit the page Interstate 335 to change it to redirect to the disambiguation page, that is probably the easiest solution. If you want to move the disambiguation page to Interstate 335, you can request that on Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Zoozaz1 (talk) 22:07, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I guess I will do that NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 22:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Helloworldofluxury (15:51, 18 April 2024)[edit]
Hi Zoozaz, how are you? I was looking forward to creating a page for a brand that I am a huge fan but looks like it's not possible. Can you help me with some tips? --Helloworldofluxury (talk) 15:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Helloworldofluxury, It may be possible, but it will likely be difficult. Go through the process at WP:AFC. The three most important pages you will have to read is WP:N, to understand if the company is notable enough to qualify for a page, WP:NPOV, to understand how you are supposed to write the article (I also recommend reading articles on similar companies to use as a model), and, if you have a conflict of interest, reading WP:COI.

Growth News, April 2024[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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.

Hello, I am looking to recreate a page similar to the previously deleted page, but one that corrects the U5 violation of the initial page that got it deleted. I wish to retrieve the deleted material for reference and improvement. Thank you in advance. --IIRLab (talk) 20:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Perseverance madela on Wikipedia:Shortcut (14:56, 18 May 2024)[edit]
Hey,how can I write an article about world of work --Perseverance madela (talk) 14:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Perseverance madela, that's a bit too broad to be an article, but if you come up with a more specific topic, you can submit a draft for consideration to WP:AFC. Zoozaz1 (talk) Zoozaz1 (talk) 16:55, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, how are you doing? I'm new to Wikipedia and I mainly made the account to translate some articles from English to Spanish. I had a question regarding translating words that don't exist in Spanish but do in English, should I keep the word in English and clarify its meaning in the article or should I do something else? Thanks for the help --Tuky06 (talk) 22:51, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Tuky06, there's no need for an exact literal translation, as long as the meaning gets across it's fine (unless this is a quotation). It probably depends on the specific word, and given you are the one translating it, you would probably be a better judge than me of the best solution. I might be able to help a bit more if you give me the specific word though. Zoozaz1 (talk) 23:24, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
