Growth/Communities
While we focus on our pilot wikis as our initial audiences, we are looking for information and input from various other places and demographics. Here are some ways you can help us.
Stay informed!
[edit]Check the current project updates and subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on your talk page! Feel free to share this information on your own wikis, or with anyone who might be interested.
How to work with us
[edit]Share your experience and your ideas
[edit]Please post on the team’s talk page or the talk pages for our projects! We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wikis. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work.
Let's discuss together
[edit]We host regular Community conversations. These conversations happen at various times to fit multiple time-zones. They can cover various topics, and they can be in other language than English. The dates are announced in our newsletter.
Next community conversation
[edit]Be a volunteer translator
[edit]Translate Growth experiments on Translatewiki.net (it requires a different account than your Wikimedia one).
The Growth features are intended to encourage everyone to participate and edit. As a result, we ask translators to write translations that are inclusive and use gender-neutral language whenever possible.
Get the tools we develop on your wiki
[edit]Since December 2021, the Growth features have been deployed to all Wikipedia.
However, we are happy to see more communities getting our features in advance.
If your community is interested in an early adoption of the features we are offering, please consult the pre-requested.
Become a mentor at your wiki
[edit]Help newcomers to make successful first steps at your Wikipedia by becoming a mentor.
How to create and maintain the list of mentors
[edit]To create a list of mentor, you need to convince a few other volunteers to join your efforts!
To join mentorship at your wiki, please visit Special:ManageMentors locally.
You have to make sure that mentorship is activated at your wiki.
Mentors training
[edit]This training is dedicated to volunteer mentors who want to increase their skills when working with newcomers.
Resources for better collaboration with newcomers
[edit]Those resources may be helpful for the development of your community and efforts about how to work with newcomers.
How to work with newcomers
[edit]These best practices have been created by compiling existing best practices across the wikis. They can be universally applied.
How to create help contents
[edit]This module is about creating good help pages. It gathers best practices and applies them to our wikis' unique environment. It is under construction.
Discuss about Growth community engagement
[edit]If you have any question, please contact us.
