Wikimedia Chat

近期WMF推出了一个基于Mattermost的即时聊天服务，该服务的特点是：

• 目前需要使用邮箱注册（但不会验证邮箱），计划提供SUL账户登录功能
• 似乎有客户端
• 信息目前没有和IRC同步
• （目前）不会被墙（同时，这个服务不使用任何第三方CDN）

有关方针与指引的修正通知

维基百科现有的方针与指引已根据共识，于2020年9月6日全数设定半保护附加移动保护，相关纪录可参见保护日志，此次保护使用Category:保护状态错误的维基百科规则追踪，未来通过的方针与指引也一律依此保护状态进行设定：

• 编辑：仅允许自动确认用户
• 移动：仅允许管理员

然而，由于{{Rule}}会侦测页面的保护状态，并于正确的保护状态下自动添加半保护模板，因此未来管理员保护方针与指引时，就不需要再次手动添加保护模板，请留意。

如果因为习惯等因素，仍然于保护方针与指引后，手动添加保护模板的话也没关系，当{{Rule}}侦测到页面上含有保护模板时，就不会自动重复添加，这点还请放心。唯该页面会自动收录到Category:含有保护模板的维基百科规则，为了避免手动添加错误的保护模板（方针与指引一律使用半保护模板），建议定期关注此分类，并清理和维护。

最后，有关方针与指引的类型，请参见Template:Rule/doc，未来方针与指引将会依此细分类型，影响的范围仅有分类和模板的描述。

鉴于修正可能涉及社群的使用方式和操作习惯，特此通知，如有不便，请多见谅。空气小猫（留言） 2020年9月6日 (日) 17:05 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter 14

Welcome to the fourteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

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

Success with guidance

The star on this image is the week we deployed "guidance".

We deployed the "Guidance" feature on June 15.

This feature uses the help panel to explain what to do after selecting a suggested edit. For instance, if a newcomer selects a copyedit task, they are guided on what sorts of errors to look for. They can see examples of how to rewrite the text. You can try this feature on test.wikipedia.org. First enable the homepage and the help panel in your preferences there.

Since we launched "Guidance", the data we collected show good results (see image). Now, we see more users completing suggested edits than before Guidance was deployed.

Structured tasks

Design concept for the "add a link" structured task

Structured tasks is a project that aims to break down editing workflows into a series of steps. We hope newcomers can accomplish these tasks easily.

In the previous newsletter, we asked for feedback from community members on the idea. We had a good discussion in six languages with 35 community members (summary here). We have now posted new design mockups. We hope community members can check the mockups out and react to them (in any language). They are posted along with some of the main questions we are thinking about as we continue to refine our plans.

Other technical updates

Mockup of Variant D of the homepage on desktop.

• We are currently working on Variants C and D (adjacent image) of the homepage. The goal is to increase the number of newcomers who start the newcomer tasks workflow. This is the team's main project at the moment.
• We've made it easier to hide the help panel when not needed. [1]
• The welcome survey has a new question for people who created their account: language skills. The goal is to find out how many newcomers know multiple languages, so that we can learn whether it is a good idea to integrate Content Translation as a newcomer task. To make room for this question, we removed one that is not being used. [2]

Community outreach

• We continue to engage with more communities. We recently deployed the Growth features to Persian, Hebrew, and Russian Wikipedias. Learn more about getting the features.
• If your community is having a remote event, and you are interested in hearing from the Growth team, please contact us! We have already participated to two community events online:
  • The Polish Wikiconference (recording on Google Drive)
  • The Celtic Knot 2020 (video available on Youtube).

邀请参加对话

大家好。我们很高兴与你分享由维基媒体基金理董事会于今年早些时候授权而起草的《通用行为准则》的草稿，请查阅并多提宝贵意见。 UCoC起草委员会希望就此了解草案的哪些部分可能会对您或您的工作造成挑战，该草案是否还有缺漏？敬请加入对话，并诚邀其他有兴趣的人参加。

  • WikibaseManifest: created a separate key for local entities and decided what we do about non-local entity sources based on tool-builder feedback (phab:T263527) and specifying the API in OpenApi format (phab:T262919)
