Design requirements and feedback

edit
  • WikiProject landing page (see e.g. WikiProject Women in Technology)
    • The current design's three-rail approach is problematic:
      • Makes it hard to render in mobile, given that the existing CSS classes only allow two-column-to-one-column collapses for narrow screens and getting custom CSS implemented is... difficult
      • The right-most column takes up a lot of space for something that isn't that long, by design. This creates the main content, in the middle column, to be somewhat compressed, which looks goofy on narrow screens and has led to user complaints
        • No matter what we do, mobile will be problematic. We need three views for the template - wide (most desktops), small (laptops, some tablets, minerva skin?), mobile - probably implemented with bad js to switch between them
      • It seems inconsistent that we have a set of MW UI buttons on the right side and then icon action buttons in the center, below the introduction. I think it would flow better to have membership/announcement functions integrated into the rest of the workflow, rather than set off to the side
        • Need to make it clearer what things are which, member stuff vs content stuff, or whatever it even is?
    • Aesthetic stuff: the simple design is good, but I feel like more can be done to make the page feel inviting. People should visit the page and feel, "wow this is cool."
      • No, they should visit and know what they've walked into and be able to easily navigate it and pick things out. We can make ANI trippy, but this is for serious business. The parts should be easily distinguished at a glance, though...
    • I like that there is an icon to identify the WikiProject that is set apart from the rest of the body
  • Article assessment (consider a rename to "article triage"?)
    • Should present the colorful evaluation grid
    • Three lists, for which five entries from each list are randomly transcluded via Lua module:
      • "Assess quality!" links (generated by report)
      • "Assess priority!" links (generated by report)
      • Article scope prediction: A report will generate a list of pages and categories that might be relevant to the WikiProject. This helps make WikiProjects more prominent but more importantly it improves other WikiProject-related functions (such as the related WikiProjects lists and the new discussions feature)
  • New discussions
    • A script will, for a given WikiProject, prepare a list of new discussion topics on talk pages relevant to that project.
    • On the main WikiProject landing page, present the latest five by transcluding a page that includes the latest 25. (Numbers can be revised as necessary.)
    • Each entry should list name of talk page, name of discussion, date discussion started, and possibly the username of the person starting the discussion.
    • Appearance should probably be different on WikiProject landing page vs. dedicated subpage.

Product Development Priorities

edit
  • New design
  • Automated list generation as part of the new design (or as a standalone feature)
  • Overall WikiProject infrastructure (directory, related project mapping, banner system)

Next steps

edit
  • Pick WikiProjects for pilot testing
  • Identify top 5–10 contributors in area and ask them to get involved
  • Design prototype layout that serves as basis for new workflows
  • Discuss ideas for new layouts and tools; seek consensus to test out new systems

Lower priority

edit

Problems

edit
  • WikiProject discoverability – people need to find them in the first place
  • WikiProjects sometimes claim ownership of topic articles and prevent other users from effectively contributing etc. (WP:OWN issues)
  • Echo (Wikipedia's notification system) currently contains no support for notifications from gadgets due to security concerns
  • WikiProjects get a lot of initial momentum when starting up and then fade into inactivity
  • Labeling of projects as active/inactive could discourage participation
  • Newcomers face difficulties with Wikipedia since it is decentralized and largely anonymous. They do not feel a sense of community
  • WikiProjects become less useful/relevant as the subject matter gets better coverage and there is less outstanding work
  • Project task lists and COTWs do not necessarily work to mobilize editors, who are independently motivated
  • WikiProjects pick an inappropriate scope and fail to motivate contributors due to a lack of proper goal
  • Unclear purpose of WikiProjects to begin with, so what is success? What should they be achieving, and how do we measure it?
  • How can we get broad metrics on these? Common structures, programmatically parseable patterns?
  • Talk page banners: they look horrible on mobile, and are generally cluttered with too much information. They take up too much space.

Idea Board

edit
  • "The WikiProject Launcher" – a page on-wiki for launching new WikiProjects
  • Project-area recent improvements feed, for surfacing contributions
  • Leaderboards for WikiProjects
  • As part of Wikipedia registration/onboarding process, recommend WikiProjects to people
    • Newcomer boards—newcomers are recommended WikiProjects according to interests and are sent to a staging area accordingly. This staging area would be associated with a WikiProject but be its own Flow board. This is based on the social psych theory of social identity.
  • Bringing over the "endorse" button from Meta to let people join WikiProjects easily
    • Much more elaborate "join" process, where you get a (possibly JS powered) orientation
  • WikiProject hosts whose job it is to respond to questions (from newcomers and others)
  • "WikiProjects-as-tools" – WikiProjects always showing some sign of life, even if no one is around to maintain them
  • Setting social expectations / expectations of WikiProject to discourage article cartel-type ambitions (and to encourage pro-social, collaborative behavior)
  • Making it easier to split/consolidate WikiProjects from a technical perspective (but what of the governance implications?)
  • Focus on maintenance instead of new articles; the need is much more for maintenance than for new articles
  • Integration of dynamic to-do list tools that exist but are poorly integrated
  • Recommendations for other WikiProjects to join
  • Encouraging people to make specific requests. ("Need help?")
  • ProjectPing: An efficient way to notify WikiProjects of an ongoing discussion.
    • Using an RFC bot-like system, or:
    • Alternative workflow: Person clicks on "ping" button within WikiProject banner box; this prompts a window to pop up which allows the user to leave a message on the WikiProject talk page (and gives the user the option to watchlist the talk page). Non-JS fallback would just be a link to the WikiProject talk page, with edit notice on load and &section=new.
    • What would be the easiest way to ping multiple projects at once?
  • "Socially intelligent task routing"
  • Workflow options: Technical help; dealing with people and policies; finding collaborators
  • Some sort of wheel-like generic WikiProject icon; users can add topic stuff to this icon to create a specific project icon, comparable to barnstars
  • Better integration with WP:AFC
  • Integration with meetups / edit-a-thons
  • m:Research:Task recommendations
  • How would a Wikiproject work on mobile? Lists of quick edits to make? Edit validation (Tinder for Wikipedia!)? Quick feedback?
  • List of all ongoing discussions on all talk pages in a WikiProject's purview. Could be automatically facilitated by Wikipedia:Flow, or less-than-automatically facilitated with some kind of bot
  • New omni-banner for WikiProjects where each WikiProject gets naught but one line in the banner. This is optional for those projects that want it, and would go along with the other WikiProject banners on a talk page.
  • Integration with Wikidata so that people can check out WikiProjects on other Wikimedia projects / language editions! In theory, the WikiProject directory could just pull from Wikidata. See our outpost d:Wikidata:WikiProject X. Also Wikidata-generated list of WikiProjects as per Magnus' tool.
  • Pages are tagged as being in a WikiProject's purview by virtue of belonging to a certain set of categories. This would supplement manual tagging and help make the system more lightweight.
    • This might work with the banner idea above. You have {{WikiProject tags}} or whatever on a talk page and it automatically sorts a page as being part of a WikiProject if it meets certain parameters.
      • That would get extremely expensive, extremely fast :(
  • Wikidata has items on things. There are Wikidata items that do not have corresponding English Wikipedia articles. Possible recommendations.
  • As part of to-do-list infrastructure, allow people to generate annotated lists of references to use for articles. Could be as bare bones as a bibiography or as in-depth as a literature review.

Stretch goals

edit

These ideas involve changes to site-wide infrastructure, rules, or practices, and require the agreement of far more than just an individual WikiProject.

  • Auto-updating WikiProject Directory (in progress—talking with WikiProject Council)
  • Replacement of {{WPBannerMeta}} / {{WikiProjectBanners}} with single, efficient template without feature creep
    • There is a workaround to this (see above)
  • Official deprecation of {{WikiProject}} boilerplate and/or WikiProject application process in favor of "The WikiProject Launcher"
  • Some solution to the extensive graveyard of non-functioning WikiProjects
  • A policy/governance solution regarding the enforcement of WikiProject advice pages as poicies

Solutions / Tools at our disposal

edit

Leads for live testing

edit
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots
  • Diane Shaw / WikiProject Smithsonian (GLAM)
  • WikiProject Occupational Safety / WikiProject NIOSH
  • WikiProject LEGDATA
  • WikiProject Women Scientists
  • Andrew Lih's class: assignments around WikiProjects, potential usability studies
  • WikiProject Military History: Eddie has offered to help with this

Metrics

edit

Adapted from [3]. We may want to visualize this stuff.

  • "metrics related to featured content production, project size and growth (in articles and/or members), volume of traffic on project discussion pages, etc... It's probably the low*hanging fruit of those metrics... Non*members tend to be interested in whether a project is active enough to be worth becoming involved in."
  • number of FAs/GAs
  • "tracking open tasks, reviews, progress towards targets, article metrics and the like"
  • total article count
  • potential new members
  • Article quality heuristics—stuff that Aaron Halfaker is working on to automatically assess article quality. This gives us an impact measurement. m:Research:WikiCredit
    • The WikiCredit concept focuses on giving credit at the contribution (and contributor) level for someone's work. There are social implications to this, as some may try to game the system. In the meanwhile, it may be worthwhile as a metric to track, at least privately, on the added value of a WikiProject. We can assess article quality for articles in a WikiProject's scope, have an objective definition of a "WikiProject participant," and try to see if participation in a WikiProject increases quality, particularly before/after a WikiProject is optimized. This is one way of measuring an actual impact of a WikiProject on article quality. Perhaps eventually the system can be deployed to measure quality across a WikiProject's corpus, or even on an individual article level (as a replacement for, or adjunct to, the standard Stub/Start/C/B/Good/A/FA system), but there are social implications as raised before.

Findings

edit

Layouts

edit

Though layouts differ, WikiProjects tend to have certain things in them. Somewhere.

  • Intro, including purpose, scope, and goals (a general about thing)
  • Tasks/ways to contribute, including lists of requested articles
  • Lists of subprojects, related projects, or even related pages
  • Available tools and resources, including sources, templates and categories, MoS stuff, etc
  • Article assessments, sometimes including statistics and/or a showcase
  • Lists of members
  • User awards
  • Discussion
  • Announcements, notifications and newsletters


Perhaps some other things too. These may not all be useful either.

Use cases

edit

Some use cases

edit

This all probably include considerable overlap in practice, but whatever. Wonko cross between use cases and personas because my brain is being funny:

Dashboard case

  • Active use
  • Use lists, links etc on a regular basis
  • Follow all main discussions (probably via watchlist?)

Dashboard 2

  • Use project as a dashboard for links, lists, etc
  • Don't follow discussions / no discussions to follow

Discussions

  • Generally don't use to-do lists and links
  • Use talk page, often to ask questions, get help, resolve disputes, etc

Peripheral

  • Stop by occasionally to check for updates / notify people of events
  • Interested in having some way to highly recent activity (since last visit)

New user

  • Need somewhere to start, hit lists, to-dos at random
  • Discussions to ask questions only, won't likely get into other discussions without explicit encouragement

Collaborations (IC-style?)

  • Don't use wikiproject until new collaboration project announced
  • Work on project, then wander off (?)

List generation

  • Quality assessments
  • Resource gathering
  • Answer questions, get feedback from others
  • Vote on stuff

Implicit use case

  • Use project, work on articles

Specific usages

edit
  • task lists
  • guides/resources
  • discussions
  • collaborations
  • quality review (and other list generation)

Stories

edit

Benefits

  • Active discussion and participation
    • Place to ask questions, get help
    • Dispute resolution
  • Work coordination, organised workflow
    • Finding things to do, how to do things
    • Coordination across language projects
  • Dedicated userbase
  • Documentation all in one place
  • Community identity, social circles to keep people involved
    • Reasonable sized subsets to not overwhelm people
  • Active recruitment, good for newcomers
  • Tools
    • Recent changes list
    • Deletion sorting

Obstacles

  • Low participation
    • Hard to get new people involved; decline over time
    • No good way to recover already inactive projects
  • Difficult to organise and keep organised
    • Requires a lot of technical knowhow to actually do it - bots, archival, templates, newsletters (support is better now, but still not good)
    • Requires a lot of time to maintain - everything manual
  • Users lack time - need to reduce overhead for everything so they can jump right in
    • Process for assessments, automated todo lists
    • Make tool tie-ins more common/easier - deletions, AfC, recent changes, article alerts in general
    • Automation would mean even inactive projects would be useful
  • Community conflict
    • poor inter-project coordination - even overlapping projects
  • Rule creep - overwhelming and time-consuming
    • Projects can lean too far toward deleting things after dealing with a lot of articles in the subject-area
    • "Having attainable & truly common goals are always important to having a successful WikiProject."
  • Scope issues
    • Too big results in too active, in some ways defeating the purpose
    • Too small results in a tiny subset that can't necessarily last
    • Marking articles as in scope requires a banner, no automatic way to do that (banners may also be added without checking the quality first)
  • Too many projects - finding specific ones, active ones, difficult

Analysis

edit

As of writing, 29 WikiProject stories have been shared. A spreadsheet was prepared picking out individual statements made for each WikiProject, which was then coded for recurring themes. Duplicate appearances of a code for a given WikiProject were removed. Codes were generally classified as "benefits" (positive contributions made by a WikiProject to the editing experience) and "obstacles" (issues posed by WikiProjects, broadly speaking). Codes were generated as I went along, ensuring that codes were as close to the original data as possible. I erred on the side of more codes than less; some of these codes could be consolidated.

  • Benefits: 52 "benefit" statements encoded:
    • Benefit: active discussion and participation (13)
    • Benefit: guiding editor activity (10)
    • Benefit: documentation (5)
    • Benefit: welcoming to newcomers (5)
    • Benefit: recent changes list (3)
    • Benefit: active recruitment (3)
    • Benefit: dispute resolution (2)
    • Benefit: organized workflow (2)
    • Benefit: serves previously identified community (2)
    • Benefit: community identity (1)
    • Benefit: categorizing work (1)
    • Benefit: coordination with other language editions (1)
    • Benefit: help desk (1)
    • Benefit: dedicated organizer base (1)
    • Benefit: deletion sorting (1)
    • Benefit: coordinating editor work (1)
  • Obstacles: 34 "obstacle" statements encoded:
    • Obstacle: low project participation (12)
    • Obstacle: high organizing burden (5)
    • Obstacle: high onboarding burden and rule creep (5)
    • Obstacle: community conflict (4)
    • Obstacle: high technical burden (3)
    • Obstacle: high maintenance burden (3)
    • Obstacle: project scope issues (1)
    • Obstacle: request for additional participation (1)

Portals

edit

Portals tend to be related to wikiprojects, and are often maintained by them, and thus may be relevant here. There may be some way to make both more useful in practice...

  • Presentation is often as topical mainpages, as a more graphical overview of a general topic as opposed to the topic article itself.
  • Useful for various reasons
  • Often neglected
  • Might make good way to draw people into the wikiprojects


Are portals usually more user- or editor-facing?

Questions

edit

Broad questions

edit

Questions concerning overall project, things we're trying to address?

  • What can be done about dead projects? Issues with this, potential use?
  • What all ought to be automated?
  • Why and how do folks exert ownership? How can this be discouraged in the new whatevers? How is it discouraged elsewhere?
  • Cabals?
  • Portals?
  • Is the formality commonly used useful in practice?

Questions for users

edit

Probably for surveys and the like?

  • How did folks find out about wikiprojects in general? As a thing. That exists.
  • How did folks find the projects they are a part of and/or use?
  • What are the most useful things about the projects?
  • What do they use the most (even if they're not that inherently useful of things, necessarily)?
  • What do people expect going in? (aim this at new users - what do they want/hope for from a wikiproject)
  • How does reality hold up to expectation? Missing things? Useful things folks never even expected?
  • What do users want that's missing?
  • What would users want to change/remove from the projects?

Questions for data

edit
  • Common correlations between wikiproject size and effectiveness?
  • How do notifications, newsletters, automated suggestions, etc relate to stuff?
  • Are there core users involved in a lot of different projects?
edit

List of components (found) in pilot projects

edit 

First part: Pages and subpages
Second part: Things on the description page
Third part: Miscellaneous notes


First ten or so may be (particularly) inconsistently catalogued.
Invitation templates are noted if noticed; they may still have them otherwise.
Subpage soup appears to be normal if a project is relatively old.
Horribly long lists (members, articles, etc) are a pain in the arse.
