Growth Newsletter #19
Welcome to the nineteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects.

Structured tasks

 * "Add a link" is the team's first structured task. It uses machine-learning to suggest wikilinks as easy edits for newcomers. It was deployed in May 2021 on four Wikipedias and then in July on eight more Wikipedias after we evaluated the initial results.  So far, we've seen a high level of engagement from newcomers. Communities that have the feature suggested valuable ideas for improvement.  We'll work on improvements and then contact more communities to deploy it.
 * "Add an image" is the team's second structured task, currently in development. It is an editing task that suggests Commons images for unillustrated Wikipedia articles.  We have conducted many community discussions and tests. Then, we've decided to build a first prototype.  We'll first deploy it only to our pilot Wikipedias, to learn whether newcomers can be successful with the task. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. These prototypes have already been tested by newcomers, in English and Spanish.

News for mentors

 * The Mentor dashboard is available at our pilot wikis: Arabic, Czech, and Bengali Wikipedias. It will soon be available at a few more volunteering wikis, as a test.
 * At wikis where the mentor dashboard is deployed, a new filter is available for mentors. Mentors can monitor their mentees' activity in Watchlist and RecentChanges, so they can help support their mentees' work. For privacy reasons, this filter can't be accessed by someone else than the mentor itself. This filter only filters mentees assigned to the mentor. This filter is not visible for people who are not listed as mentors

Community configuration

 * Communities now have the ability to configure how Growth features behave on their own wikis. At Special:EditGrowthConfig, community members can add a list of volunteer mentors, alter the templates used for suggested edits, update help links, and more. This special page is editable by administrators and interface admins.

Scaling

 * We are proud to announce that all Wikipedias now have the Growth features! Thank you to all the community members who helped the team build the features and bring them to their wikis.  The only exception is Chinese Wikipedia (zh), for technical reasons.
 * The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 280 of the smallest of those Wikipedias have the features.
 * A test is undergoing at English Wikipedia: 25% of newcomers receive the Growth features. The results from this test will be part of a discussion of how to proceed on that wiki.
 * Now that Growth features are available at Wikipedia, the Growth team considers to extend them to other projects. Some Wikisource users have expressed some interest in getting Growth features. There is currently a discussion about implementing them on Wikisource.

News for communities

 * Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work.
 * The Growth features were recently used in a test amongst Latin American donors to give donors the opportunity to learn to edit. You can see the results here.
 * Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
 * Help:GettingStarted was a feature developed in 2013, which directed newcomers to articles that needed editing. We recently removed this feature from all wikis, because it has been replaced by the Growth features.

DYK for Bryant Park Studios
Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:03, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

What the heck?
I clicked on my contributions in the corner and somehow I looked back at my screen and your talk page was on it... I'm so confused right now.

While I'm here I might as well say hello. What projects have you been up to recently? Panini! 🥪 13:25, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , forgot about the wikicup already? You just congratulated me on that last week. Basically the same. I'm still trying to win, but sadly most NYC buildings don't typically get the high multipliers that many sports or warfare pages get. But I'm still hanging in there and juggling real life as well. How about you? – Epicgenius (talk) 14:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * By "what projects" I meant as in what have you been gettin' done in the context of the Wikicup. My advice, I would shoot one of the articles towards FAC; since reviews come in pretty slow (about once a week) you should be able to handle it with ease while you get DYKs pumping. Hopefully, it'll pass by the end.
 * For me, I've been having an existential crisis after Paper Mario passed GT. I've been hopping around every project possible until I landed up at Super Mario Odyssey. Hopefully, I won't abandon that too.

DYK reviewing spree

 * Pictogram voting wait.svg
 * Do you have any DYK's up at the moment? I can do a compromise; every time you have DYK, ping me here and I'll go and review it. Why not? I'm not as busy here as I used to be. Panini! 🥪 14:18, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer. So far, I have a few GA and DYK nominations up, but they've mostly been reviewed, except the one for Deutsche Bank Center (for which I still have to do a QPQ). And believe me, I'm trying to get as many FACs as possible. I already got Harry F. Sinclair House promoted and am nominating Surrogate's Courthouse, but sadly the courthouse is a solo nom so I have to wait until that discussion closed to nominate another solo nom. I guess I'm banking (pun kinda intended) on all my building GANs being promoted before the end of the cup at least. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:40, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Ping me when the DYK is ready. Panini! 🥪 14:47, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are interested, Deutsche Bank Center and 3 East 57th Street both have QPQs done and are ready to be reviewed. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I also nominated Bank of America Tower (Manhattan) if you are interested. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:10, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm on it. *starts typing ferociously* Panini! 🥪 13:19, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Epic, I just cannot believe your work ethic. I've overawed and thank you on behalf of future New Yorkers. I love reading your new articles! No Swan So Fine (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Panini!, I also nominated 4 Times Square just now, if you're interested. (I let No Swan So Fine and another editor review the last two nominations, but this time I submitted my QPQ on time.) – Epicgenius (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. It may look like I'm stalking you but I'm just coincidentally always online the same time you ping me. I've been busy recently doing other time-consuming projects and IRL writing endeavors, but luckily these don't take up too much time to do. This is just a reminder if I don't get to a review immediately. Panini! 🥪 13:48, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Panini!, I've also done 3 Times Square if you're interested. The last couple of nominations, someone took it really quickly. (I haven't done the QPQ for 5 Times Square though. Yeah, I'm lately doing a lot of Times Square pages...) – Epicgenius (talk) 13:40, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't get to this one in quick time, but it appears that someone else did already. Please continue to let me know about your future DYKs. Panini! 🥪 11:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Panini!, I also nominated Bryant Park Studios. Let me know if you're still interested, since DYK nominations seem to be snapped up quickly these days. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:09, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Currently driving home from church; I'll get on it first thing when I get home. Panini! 🥪 16:53, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you're still up for it @Panini!, I've nominated Palace Theatre (New York City) as well. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:40, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Panini! 🥪 00:48, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Panini! I've also had Hudson Theatre and Millennium Times Square New York up for a few days. This is a little different from the other ones I nominated since they have both individual and dual hooks, like what ultimately happened with the Bank of America nomination. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:38, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
