Wikipedia:Video and Interactive Tutorials

This page is the official project page for the English Wikipedia version of the Video and Interactive Tutorials Project that was approved by a full Wikimedia Foundation Grants Committee. The associated talk page serves as the forum to make your voice heard during the creation of these tutorials. Information on the project itself can be viewed on the main page and on the grants proposal. Please only provide community input on the Talk page (sections are linked to from the progress chart) or where there are non-controversial changes.

At 18:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC), STiki author Andrew West released the following statement in response to a request for baseline statistics: STiki has had 653 unique user names use the tool. 440 users have made more than 50 "classifications" (but an "innocent classification" is not an "edit"); not sure exactly what you need here. STiki has been used to revert 279,528 edits (though total "edits" are probably roughly 2x that given a warning is typically placed); it is also impossible to quantify instances where STiki helped someone find damage, but then they reverted it using a tool like Twinkle.
