Question from Malalaniriantsoa (02:21, 13 June 2025)

[edit]

Hello, It's been a while since I last edited a Wikipedia page. Can you please let me know what can count as reliable references? Books? YouTube? What types of websites? Thank you in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you. --Malalaniriantsoa (talk) 02:21, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Malalaniriantsoa Welcome back to editing. All edits should be supported by evidence from reliable, third-party WP:INDEPENDENT published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy WP:RELIABLE. Always use a reliable source, such as to an academic journal article or other high-quality reference. Avoid blogs, corporate websites, reviews, press releases, and opinion pieces as they generally do not count as reliable sources. I hope this helps. FULBERT (talk) 10:20, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, it does! 2600:1004:A032:BCE:A5C7:96D9:3E07:B5F (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:24, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Growth News #34

[edit]

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

Mentoring new editors

[edit]

In February, Mentorship was successfully rolled out to 100% of newcomers on English Wikipedia. Following this milestone, we collaborated with Spanish Wikipedia to expand Mentorship coverage to 70% of new accounts, with plans to reach 85% soon unless concerns are raised by mentors. (T394867)

“Add a Link” Task – Iteration and Experimentation

[edit]

Our efforts to improve and scale the “Add a Link” structured task continued across multiple fronts:

  • Community Feedback & Model Improvements: We’ve responded to community concerns with targeted changes:
    • Restricting access to newer accounts (T393688)
    • Some links types were removed to align with recommendations written in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style (T390683)
    • Allowing communities to limit “Add a Link” to newcomers (T393771)
    • The model used to suggest the links was improved to ease its training (T388258)
  • English Wikipedia rollout and A/B test: We increased the rollout to 20% of newcomers, with analysis underway. Preliminary data suggests this feature makes new account holders more likely to complete an unreverted edit. (T386029, T382603)
  • Surfacing Structured Tasks: An experiment where we show “add a link” suggestions to newly registered users while they are reading an article is running on pilot wikis (French, Persian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic). Initial results are under analysis. (T386029)

Newcomer Engagement Features

[edit]
  • “Get Started” notification: Engineering is in progress for a new notification (Echo/email) to encourage editing among newcomers with zero edits. Early research shows this type of nudge is effective. (T392256)
  • Confirmation email: We are exploring ways to simplify and improve the initial account confirmation email newly registered users receive. (T215665)

Community Configuration Enhancements

[edit]

Communities can now manage which namespaces are eligible for Event Registration via Community Configuration. (T385341)

Annual Planning

[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation’s 2025–2026 Annual Plan is taking shape. The Growth and Editing teams will focus on the Contributor Experiences (WE1) objective, with a focus on increasing constructive edits by editors with fewer than 100 cumulative contributions.

Get Involved

[edit]

We value your insights and ideas! If you would like to participate in a discussion, share feedback, or pilot new features, please reach out on the relevant Phabricator tasks or at our talk page, in any language.

  • Tech News: The Chart extension is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. The Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias. More updates from Tech News week 23 and 24.
  • New Engagement Experiments: We're testing out WikiRun, a fun game that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible! It's an experiment to explore new ways of engaging readers. Give it a try and let us know what you think on the talk page!
