Sharing a request for feedback made by @MMiller (WMF): of the WMF Growth team, who is working on features to increase new editor retention:
Over the last year or so, the Growth team has been piloting features in small Wikipedias meant to increase productive edits from newcomers (such as the "suggested edits module" shown here). As our features become more developed, we're planning on expanding to larger wikis, and so I created this project page on English Wikipedia, looking to gather thoughts from English Wikipedians who think about new editors. I hope some of you can check out that page and leave any of your thoughts on the talk page, so that as we think about deploying features to bigger wikis, we'll take your ideas and concerns into account.
The latest idea we're thinking about is called "structured tasks". The idea builds on our previous work of task recommendations for newcomers, but is geared toward breaking down simple editing workflows (like copyediting or adding wikilinks) into steps that are easy for newcomers to accomplish, potentially assisted by algorithms. We are asking for thoughts and opinions on the project here on the talk page. I hope to see some of you in the conversation! -- MMiller (WMF) (talk) 01:18, 19 May 2020 (UTC)"

One of the least user-friendly areas of Wikipedia is the page histories. I assume that this is controlled to a large extent by more global interface stuff. Does anyone know where we might be able to go to discuss improving it? ((u|Sdkb)) talk 22:48, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Does anyone else feel constrained by the limited number of skin choices available here? I just counted five, six if you count both Vector and Legacy Vector. All of them are traditional black text on white background. I'm a fan of Mediawikiwiki:Skin:DarkVector and have helped develop it a little. Is there some reason we can't have access to ten or fifteen skins? What would it hurt? Flounder ceo (talk) 16:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

This RfC concerns MediaWiki:Newarticletext, the default edit notice shown when someone is creating a new page. Should it be changed as shown? ((u|Sdkb)) talk 09:03, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
When appearing in article space, it currently looks like this:
|
I proposed a visual change, which was briefly implemented and then undone when an editor objected, so I am seeking further community input. Should we change the notice to look like this? (The color and icon are modified, but the text is not.)
|
This proposal would not change the appearance of the notice for talk pages or other namespaces. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 20:44, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
I anticipate that, seeing this RfC, some editors may have other ideas about changes to make to the notice. These are welcome, but I'd prefer that they not get in the way of the discussion above, so I am carving out a space for them here.
As a basic usability best practices reminder, it is vital that we keep this notice as short and concise as possible. Yes, there are lots of things we'd like people to have in mind when creating a new page, but every line we add to this notice makes it less likely people will actually read it and thus less likely they'll click through to Help:Your first article. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 20:44, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Your first articleshould be changed to
Help:Your first article, since that's the title of the page. Hopefully that's uncontroversial. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 20:49, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

If the proposed change doesn't get made, or applies only to new editors, I would suggest that the border is still valuable, to make it easier to distinguish from surrounding text in the web version for all editors. --Xurizuri (talk) 09:58, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
Let's say that you find an article on Wikipedia and all of the following are true:
Is there anywhere this can be reported to attract an "outside" editor, perhaps a WikiProject Usability one, to come fix the article's usability problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.178.195 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is to specific but it has absolutely to do with usability.
As I do graphic work I always try as hard as possible to pick colors so they work for many people with color deficiency. So to be able to mark the "images" information pages I have created a template Color_deficiency_ok to show this and to add the images to Category:Color_deficiency_ok. I hope this can be useful. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I am going through some of the talk pages for a usability case study and I am noticing some difficulty in navigation and understanding of the pages. I was wondering if editors can share your thoughts and flows as they go through the talk pages? Just looking to understand some of the pain points for people who are both new and experienced when it comes to Wikipedia talk pages/editing. If this is not the right place to ask, do let me know where I can look towards! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jncwtopac (talk • contribs)
