Movement Strategy/Initiatives/Platform functionality and documentation standards

Platform functionality and documentation standards

Improving the User Experience of the Wikimedia platform involves creating standards for the documentation and functionality of this platform. There should be clear procedures for improving the user experience of Wikimedia Projects (for example: how to propose an improvement and test it). There should also be documentation of the minimum standards for the user experience of the Wikimedia Projects, as well as guidelines for how to evaluate and improve them.

  • Create procedures and practices to improve the use of all Wikimedia projects, for those consuming or creating free knowledge, as well as extending functionalities.
  • Documentation and standards to capture platform functionalities for evaluation, learning, and improvement.
