Growth team newsletter #28 lemba
Welcome to the twenty-eighth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
Community configuration 2.0 lemba
- Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
- Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
- Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.
IP Masking lemba
- The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
- Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)
Mentorship lemba
- We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
- We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
- Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.
Scaling Growth features lemba
- We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
- We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
- At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.
Other news lemba
- We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
- You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
- After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

Growth team newsletter #29 lemba
Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
Community Conversations lemba
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
Impact Module lemba
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [1]
Add a Link lemba
We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [2] [3]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
- German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
- There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.
Community Configuration lemba
- We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [4] 🖂
- Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
- A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
- Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.
Mentorship lemba
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [5]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [6]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [7]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [8]

Greetings lemba
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! --Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 10:36, 31 Disembala 2023 (UTC)
- @Caro de Segeda Hey, greetings! It's good to see you checking up on this wiki, huh. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! I am currently active on enwiki. Despite frequent fights and troubles with admins there, I still consider it as a second home wiki. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 10:56, 31 Disembala 2023 (UTC)
- Whenever you have time I would like to ask you to revise these two texts, written in Tumbuka and Chewa:
- Text in English
- Glosa is an artificial auxiliary language designed for international communication. It has several characteristics:
- Its pronunciation is regular, and its spelling is phonetic.
- Its structure is very simple and based on meaning.
- It is an analytical language with no inflections or genders. A small number of words handle grammatical relations.
- Above all, Glosa is neutral and truly international due to the use of Latin and Greek roots, which are used in the international scientific vocabulary.
- Text in Chichewa
- Chiyambi chachidule cha Chichewa Glosa ndi chinenero chochita kupanga chothandizira kulankhulana ndi mayiko. Ili ndi mawonekedwe angapo:
- Katchulidwe kake kamakhala kokhazikika, ndipo katchulidwe kake ndi kafonitiki.
- Kapangidwe kake ndi kophweka komanso kozikidwa pa tanthauzo.
- Ndi chiyankhulo chowunikira komanso chopanda mawu kapena jenda. Mawu ochepa chabe amagwirizana ndi galamala.
- Koposa zonse, Glosa salowerera ndale komanso wapadziko lonse lapansi chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito mizu ya Chilatini ndi Chigiriki, zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito m'mawu asayansi apadziko lonse lapansi.
- Text in Tumbuka
- Mazgu Ghakwamba mu Chitumbuka Glosa ni ciyowoyero cakovwira ico cikupangika kuti ŵanthu ŵa mu vyaru vyakupambanapambana ŵayowoyeskanenge. Likuŵa na vinthu vinandi:
- Lizgu ili likuyowoyeka mwakudunjika, ndipo likulembeka mwakuyana na umo mazgu ghakuyowoyekera.
- Ng'anamuro lake ndakupulikikwa makora.
- Ni ciyowoyero ico cikuyowoya mwakudumura vinthu, ndipo palije mazgu agho ghakulongora umo munthu waliri. Mazgu ghacoko waka ghakulongosora umo mazgu ghakugwilira nchito.
- Kweni pa vyose, Glosa yikuleka kunjilirapo pa nkhani za ndyali ndipo yikukolerana na vyaru vinyake chifukwa cha kugwiliskira nchito visambizgo vya Cilatini na Cigiriki, ivyo vikusangika mu mabuku gha sayansi.
- Thanks for your help. Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 11:09, 31 Disembala 2023 (UTC)
Help to remove sock’s vandalism lemba
Hi there!
An infamous sock-puppet user, @Milktaco, vandalized the page Human_rights_in_Vietnam. This user wrote two sections called “Repression of Chams,” and “Ethnic Minorities.” I hope you could please help me remove it.
Evidence of Milktaco writing them:

Please read the “Fixing neutrality” section of this Talk page as well, to get an understanding of Milktaco’s behavior:

“[he is] an infamous Chinese sockpuppetry editor. He has over 100 accounts that have been blocked. He is obsessed with being anti-Japanese, anti-Vietnamese, anti-White, anti-European, anti-Korean, anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-American along with other indecent misinformation of his such as pedophillia, rape, slavery and prostitution if you look at the edits of him and his sockpuppets. A lot of his information and sources are from blog posts and Youtube videos. Any reputable source he uses is taken out of context.”
