Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings/Testing/Articles for creation

This page is for documenting potential tests of the user notifications given through Articles for creation.

Templates
We may potentially test a third new option, see our draft space
 * 1) Afc talk-rand, including...
 * Afc talk-default
 * Afc talk-new
 * 1) Afc onhold-rand, including...
 * Afc onhold-default
 * Afc onhold-new
 * 1) Afc decline-rand, including...
 * Afc decline-default
 * Afc decline-new

Testing strategy
Possibly options...


 * By hand delivery. This works fine but is slow.
 * AFC submission, which includes links that preload the relevant templates
 * User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js, which may not actually deliver templates...? Testing required.

Analysis
The following is a description of the variables we'll want to measure after the test is completed. Please add to it or comment!


 * Qualitative improvement:


 * How many authors edit their submissions after receiving a message?
 * How many authors are editing drafts and resubmitting them after being declined?
 * How many authors are editing actual articles after being accepted? (see: WP:SPA)
 * How many message recipients' articles are accepted and moved to mainspace?
 * What kind of feedback are message recipients giving the AfC process?


 * Retention:


 * Are those who receive any of the notifications editing...
 * 0-3 days after?
 * 30 days after?
 * 60 days after?
 * ... and in what namespaces?
 * Do message recipients create any more AfC drafts or articles?
 * Are any message recipients blocked (after at any point or any duration)?
