Bots recommendation

Hi, I recommend we should add the Lowercase sigmabot III, which archives talk pages CubanoBoi 18:33, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC) CubanoBoi 18:33, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Tag it, I would like to request the owner. Tag its home wiki. Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 18:34, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

en:user:Lowercase sigmabot III I believe CubanoBoi 18:34, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Thanks, will request later around 10. Its 8:36 PM here right now. Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 18:37, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Also is there any projects you want me to work on? Maybe Tanzanian Districts or something? CubanoBoi 18:39, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Yes that will be great.

Also, in the background I was compiling a video about how to create 20 stubs in 1 minute. Don't know when will finish it. I am not using bot. It is manual and you will see in video. Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 18:42, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Hey, out of curiosity.

If you were to visit 4 African countries, which ones would they be?

I mean the ones you love though you haven't yet visted them. Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 18:46, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

I’ve never visited Africa, most likely Morocco (the history and the sandstone houses), Egypt (history again), Nigeria, and Djibouti (maybe the Gambia instead but idk) CubanoBoi 18:53, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Haha nice reasonable pick, huh. Morroco is really nice. Nigeria, to my experience, is not bad actually. Good welcoming people and culture. Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 19:03, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Also I think we should make pages of big soccer clubs, like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, etc CubanoBoi 19:43, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi okay cool. I will pick the first or last 5 (any) Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 19:45, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi I am currently fixing inbox template which is getting weirder and weider. See page USA Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 19:46, 26 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Villages

Hi, according to "African Studies 1971" on the google docs you gave me it saids "village" translates to "cikaya" instead of "msumba", are these two different words that mean the same thing or something else? CubanoBoi 22:32, 31 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Thanks for noticing this. Matter of fact,

Here is a complete list of trans

village= muzi (also chikaya, but spelled as cikaya [in old Tumbuka writing system]). This means a place in remote area, not in a city. This place has a chief.

Urban/city/town = msumba/tauni. This is an urban area.

So msumba can't be cikaya, unless the place is urban Tumbuka Arch (pakuchezgela) 08:31, 1 Ogasiti 2023 (UTC)

So

Urban=Msumba (Question: Does this include neighborhoods of cities?)

Village with Chief=Muzi, Chikaya

Town without Chief=Tauni CubanoBoi 11:34, 1 Ogasiti 2023 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #27

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Annual plan for Growth

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.

Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.

After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:

• Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
• Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.

Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.

Suggested edits

The new "Add an image" section-level task

We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.

Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [1]

Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorship

The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.

More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [2]

The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.

Positive reinforcement

We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.

In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.

Growth contributes to IP Editing migration

The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:

• the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
• change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [3]

Community Configuration 2.0

We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

• We are gathering internal Wikimedia Foundation teams' needs, so as community feedback. [4]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [5]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [6]
