@Gnangarra I disagree with your vote onWikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Humphrey (convict) for being "fascinating". On Wikipedia, an article needs multiple reliable sources. Just because a topic is about someone being a criminal,does not mean it should have an article. Regards, ~Rafael(He, him) •Talk •Guestbook •Projects

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
Wereleased the"Add a Link" Structured Task to 100% of accounts at English Wikipedia on Tuesday, September 2nd (before then it was available to 20% of accounts).
After examining if the Growth features and Mentorship could be adapted to Wikidata, we activated the Growth features onBeta Wikidata to allow for testing and discussion (T400937).Although some features, like Suggested Edits, are Wikipedia-specific, the Growth team designed most features to be more wiki-agnostic.
The Growth team is making progress onthe technical architecture, onboarding design, and early user testing.We are targeting an A/B test before the end of this year, with constructive edits by newcomers as the primary success metric.
The machine learning team has been working on a new model that can suggest links to more languages, including Urdu, Chinese, and Japanese Wikipedias.We are starting to release the “Add a Link” feature to Wikipedias that weren’t supported by the previous model.
Add a link, which can beconfigured by the community locally, increases the chance that a new contributor will make their first edit and then continue to participate in Wikipedia.
The Growth team is involved in several research initiatives to help guide our future work:
Progression System – We havepublished initial findings from interviews with 10 English and French Wikipedia newcomers.The research examined motivations, challenges, and feedback on a prototype system intended to help editors build confidence, develop skills, and contribute more constructively over time.
Mobile Web Editing Research – This project combines quantitative and qualitative data, community feedback, and user journey analysis to identify possible ways to enhance the mobile editing experience.
Newcomers Survey – This project surveys successful newcomers on English Wikipedia to understand their early editing experiences, tool use, and community interactions.
The Growth team participated in several community events to listen, share, and collaborate on improving newcomer experiences across Wikimedia projects.
Wikimania -Organizers as key partners to support newcomers' growth in our movement
This session invited organizers to share how they introduce newcomers to Growth features and the challenges they encounter. The discussion focused on common newcomer questions and opportunities to strengthen collaboration in supporting new editors.
Wikimania -Lightning Talk: Structured Tasks
This talk demonstrated how Structured Tasks help newcomers take their first successful steps on Wikipedia. It shared impact data, community configurations, and a demo of “Add a Link,” illustrating how these tasks make editing more accessible and sustainable, particularly for mobile contributors.
Wikimania -Building a Sustainable Future for Wikimedia Contributors
With active editor numbers declining, theContributors Strategy aims to create a clearer, more engaging path for participation. This session, led by the WMF Contributors group with involvement from the Editing, Growth, Moderator Tools, and Connection (formerly Campaigns) teams, highlighted efforts to streamline contributor experiences, offer structured and mobile-friendly workflows, and foster meaningful engagement. Participants learned about ongoing initiatives and shared feedback to help shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for Wikimedia contributors.
CEE Meeting -Retaining beginners and improving content moderation: an inclusive and sustainable future for Wikipedia contributors
Many communities face a decline in volunteer engagement. Newcomers often leave soon after joining, while experienced editors struggle to manage increasingly complex workflows and overwhelming backlogs. We presented theContributors Strategy and the different features and workflows that can help communities to address these challenges. We listened to the specific needs of the CEE communities to help guide the Contributors teams' work.
