After Flow: A new direction for improving talk pages.
Technology for growth: future of mobile editing. You will be able to read more detailed write-ups of our findings and questions as they are linked below. Volunteers also expressed how important it is that we – the team charged with helping to improve talk pages – work in partnership with communities to make these improvements. There was agreement among the people we heard from at Wikimania that talk pages need to be improved. We also talked with contributors who are using Google Docs and Etherpad to collaborate on content with other contributors in real-time. We talked with multiple contributors who are members of large groups on third party services, like Telegram, where people are coordinating their efforts and offering help to newcomers. Contributors are communicating and collaborating off-wiki. This matched up with stories we heard from contributors who were eager for mobile editing interfaces to continue to be enhanced and adapted to take advantage of mobile-device-specific features (e.g. Organizers we spoke to are noticing a growing number of contributors arriving to events anticipating they will be able to edit with a smartphone or tablet. Edit-a-thon attendees are arriving expecting to edit with smartphones and tablets. In our efforts to answer these questions, we ended up in many interesting conversations and sessions which left us with a few takeaways and many more findings and new questions (See: "Wikimania Stockholm: Findings" below ). What do we need to be aware of as we begin the work to improve talk pages?*. How do contributors experience Edit Cards v3 and the refreshed mobile Visual Editing editing toolbar? What usability improvements should be considered before these features are released?. What are contributors' experiences with mobile editing? How can mobile editing better meet contributors' needs?. From testing new features in the mobile Visual Editor with contributors, to leading two sessions in the Community Growth space and presenting during Sunday's Hackathon Showcase, the team was actively involved throughout the five-day conference.Īt a high level, the team arrived at Wikimania seeking to learn and understand: The Editing Team made its way to Stockholm, Sweden to attend Wikimania 2019. Updates 2 September 2019 Wikimania Stockholm: Overview Wikimania 2019: Mobile VisualEditor goes to Stockholm, Sweden. Watching this page is a great way to stay updated about each. We had several projects, all intended to help make mobile editing a simpler and more focused experience. As of March 2020, more than four million edits had been published on the Wikipedias and other WMF-hosted content wikis. After this work, the rate of use increased significantly. 
Before this work started, fewer than one million edits had been published with this software. The end result was a significant increase in the use of the visual editor on the mobile site.
