Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on :Doorhead ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help ↗ or reference ↗ desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub ↗ for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable ↗ subjects and should provide references to reliable sources ↗ that verify ↗ their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Doorhead|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here ↗. <!-- Template:Db-nocontent-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> Wikishovel (talk) 11:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Category:Wikipedia meetups in Australia 2024 ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Category:Wikipedia meetups in Australia 2024 ↗ indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category ↗, a category redirect ↗, a featured topics category ↗, under discussion at Categories for discussion ↗, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and removing the speedy deletion tag. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 02:27, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

::Trying to contact JarrahTree 02:52, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
:I think this can be safely deleted due to a recent reshuffle of content. AlphaLemur (talk) 06:27, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

::I will try with or without help to populate the category, despite the ''reshuffle'' - the reshuffle was to increase possible spread/coverage - deletion only reduces the possibility. JarrahTree 07:43, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
:::{{re|JarrahTree}} I'm not sure I understand the reason for needing the year-based categories. I guess you're suggesting doing something similar to :Category:Wikipedia meetups in Perth ↗, but even there the year subcategories have less than a handful of pages in each. I'd suggest that there's no need for the same structure to be created for the Australia-wide meetings (especially now that they're to be managed at Meta and not on English Wikipedia). Sam Wilson ↗ 01:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
::::Fair enough - but going straight to meta seemed a bit of a jump - I do think more than just a redirect would be of some use - I am not arguing for any extra structure work here - more an explanation somewhere - aka paper trail - as it stands there is nothing for the curious JarrahTree 01:48, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red


Hi there, AlphaLemur, and welcome to Women in Red, although I see you had included the WIR user tag on your user page soon after you started editing. And thanks for creating two interesting biographies of Australian women. I hope there will be many more. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through some of our essays ↗, perhaps starting with the Primer ↗. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you! I had a little nudge from Oronsay :) AlphaLemur (talk) 00:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Growth News, April 2024



<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
right|frameless ↗

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki ↗ (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.

If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News ↗.

Community Configuration



Growth features are currently configurable at <code>Special:EditGrowthConfig</code>. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration ↗ accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.

An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia ↗. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator ↗.

In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.

Experiment Results



'''Add a Image experiment analysis results''' ↗

The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image ↗” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:


'''Personalized praise experiment results''' ↗

This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project ↗. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found ''no significant impact'' on retention, but we found a ''significant positive impact'' on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763 ↗)

'''English donors encouraged to try editing''' ↗

As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example ↗). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page ↗. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900 ↗)

Future work


'''Annual Plan'''

The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result ↗ in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657 ↗)

'''Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module''' ↗

We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page ↗.

=== Community Configuration ===

The Growth team released Community Configuration ↗ at all Wikipedias. You can access it at <code>Special:CommunityConfiguration</code>.

This new special page replaces <code>Special:EditGrowthConfig</code>. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator ↗ (T365046 ↗) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net ↗. You can also help translate the documentation ↗.

If you attend Wikimania 2024 ↗, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future ↗!

Current work


'''Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module''' ↗

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis ↗ using the new Metrics Platform ↗. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page ↗.

=== Future work ===

'''Increase constructive activation on mobile ↗'''

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan ↗, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check ↗ and Structured Tasks ↗). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team ↗ to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

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

Constructive Activation Experiments ↗


This year, the Growth team is exploring ways to help more new account holders start editing—and do so constructively, meaning their edits are not reverted. Our latest experiments include:


Community Updates ↗



Newcomers often struggle to find their place in Wikipedia’s collaborative environment. While experienced editors easily discover events like edit-a-thons and writing campaigns, newcomers often miss out.


Community Configuration ↗


Community Configuration is now available across all wikis, including non-Wikipedia projects (T383910 ↗). Community Configuration allows admins to customize various features like Growth features and Automoderator for their communities, and more recently the Babel extension now allows admins to modify configuration:


Mentorship ↗


Mentors play a key role in guiding new editors. If you’re interested in mentoring, or turning mentorship on at your wiki, check out the Mentorship FAQ ↗


Looking Ahead



In the coming months, we will continue balancing maintenance work—such as deprecating EditGrowth Config (T367574 ↗) and migrating Statslib (T359352 ↗) — with user-facing improvements that support new editors and foster the next generation of contributors.

The World Destubathon ↗


Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 09:54, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Mentoring new editors



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



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

Newcomer Engagement Features


Community Configuration Enhancements



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

Annual Planning



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



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.

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

New releases



= English Wikipedia gets "Add a Link" Structured Task =



We released ↗ 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).

= Growth features for Wikidata =


After examining if the Growth features and Mentorship could be adapted to Wikidata, we activated the Growth features on Beta 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.

Work in progress



= Revise Tone Structured Task =


The Growth team is making progress on the 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.

= Add a link to more wikis =



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 be configured by the community locally ↗, increases the chance that a new contributor will make their first edit and then continue to participate in Wikipedia.

Research



The Growth team is involved in several research initiatives to help guide our future work:

Progression System ↗ – We have published ↗ 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.

Community events



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, the Contributors 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 the Contributors 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.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions&nbsp;to :Template:1Lib1Ref Australasia 2026 ↗. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments ↗ to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. Thanks.<!---Template:Uw-dupargs---> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 15:07, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Emma Hough Hobbs ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
