Growth Newsletter #33

تحديث فصلي من فريق النموّ على عملنا لتحسين التجربة الجديدة للمحرر.

تجارب التفعيل البنّاء

هذا العام، يبحث فريق النمو عن طرق لمساعدة المزيد من أصحاب الحسابات الجديدة على بدء التحرير - بطريقة بناءة، أي أنه لا يتم استرجاع تعديلاتهم. تشمل أحدث تجاربنا:

• إطلاق تدريجي لـ «إضافة رابط» في ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية – نحن نقدم تدريجياً المهمة المهيكلة «إضافة رابط» للوافدين الجدد في ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية (T386029). هذا يعمل كاختبار A/B طبيعي لقياس تأثير المهمة على معدلات التفعيل والاحتفاظ والاسترجاع (T382603). أظهرت التجارب السابقة على الويكيات النموذجية أن مهمة «إضافة رابط» تزيد من مشاركة الوافدين الجدد، خاصة من خلال مساعدتهم على إجراء تحريرات بناءة (غير مُسترجعة).
• اختبار اقتراحات-في-المقال للمحررين للمرة الأولى – يرغب العديد من أصحاب الحسابات الجديدة في المساهمة ولكنهم لا يعرفون من أين يبدأون. للمساعدة، نقوم بتجربة ميزة تعرض اقتراحات المهام المهيكلة مباشرةً في عرض قراءة المقالة للمحررين الجدد (T385343). ستظهر هذه الاقتراحات للمستخدمين المسجلين الذين لم يقوموا بإجراء أي تعديلات، مما يوفر طريقة واضحة وبسيطة لبدء المساهمة تظهر أثناء القراءة.

تحديثات المجتمع

غالبا ما يكافح الوافدون الجدد للعثور على مكانتهم في البيئة التشاركية في ويكيبيديا. في حين أن المحررين ذوي الخبرة يكتشفون فعاليات مثل ورشات تحرير وحملات الكتابة بسهولة نسبية، إلّا أنّ الوافدين الجدد غالبا ما يفوتونها.

• لسد هذه الفجوة، أطلقنا وحدة تحديثات المجتمع داخل صفحة الوافدين الجدد. هذه الوحدة معطلة بشكل افتراضي، مما يسمح للإداريين في المجتمع بتحديد كيفية استخدامها (أو ما إذا كانوا يريدون استخدامها).
• إذا كان مجتمعكم يستضيف فعاليات، ففكروا في إعداد تحديث مجتمعي لإشراك الوافدين الجدد والترحيب بهم! تعرفوا على المزيد في Diff. للتكوين، تفضلوا بزيارة Special:CommunityConfiguration.

إعدادات المجتمع

تتوفر الآن إعدادات المجتمع في جميع الويكيات، بما في ذلك مشاريع غير ويكيبيديا (T383910). تسمح إعدادات المجتمع للإداريين بتخصيص مختلف المزايا مثل مزايا النمو والمشرف الآلي للمجتمعات الخاصة بهم، وفي الآونة الأخيرة يسمح امتداد بابل Babel للإداريين تعديل التكوين:

• تخصيص بابل – يمكن للإداريين الآن تكوين إعدادات بابل (T374348)، بما في ذلك تسمية التصنيف وإنشاء التصنيف تلقائيًا والمزيد. شاهدوا مثالاً على ويكيميديا ​​كومنز.
• المزايا القادمة التي يمكن تخصيصها – تتضمن المشاريع التي تستخدم خيارات تكوين المجتمع ما يلي: نظام الإبلاغ عن الحوادث (T374113) والاستشهاد بالروابط الخلفية (T378807).

الإرشاد

يلعب المرشدون دورًا رئيسيًا في توجيه المحررين الجدد. إذا كنتم مهتمّين بالإرشاد أو تفعيل الإرشاد في الويكي الخاص بكم، فراجعوا الأسئلة الشائعة حول الإرشاد

• اعتبارًا من 17 فبراير/شباط، تمّ تعيين مرشد لـ 100% من الحسابات الجديدة في ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية (T384505).
• لا تزال ويكيبيديا الإسبانية متاحة فقط لـ 50% من الوافدين الجدد. يتم تشجيع المساهمين ذوي الخبرة على الانضمام إلى برنامج الإرشاد حتى تتمكن ويكيبيديا الإسبانية من توفير مرشد لجميع المستخدمين الجدد.

التطلع قدماً

في الأشهر القادمة، سنواصل توازن العمل في الصيانة - مثل إزالة إعداد إصدار النمو (T367574) والهجرة إلى ستاتسليب (T359352) - مع التحسينات المستهدفة للمستخدمين التي تدعم المحررين الجدد وتعزز الجيل القادم من المساهمين.
