Article Creation Guidance

edit

Hi Tgr. I noticed your name on the Wish List and I assume that you might be interested in ways to improve the New User experience in a way that would also relieve much of the burden at NPP. You will probably not be aware of this community project some of us have been working on for 2 years: It is so simple in its concept and does not necessarily require the intervention of the WMF at all. All the elements of this project exist already but simply need to be fine tuned and some .js added. If you have a moment, please check out these two pages of the project: New landing page proposal and its workshop page and don't hesitate to post at the talk. Your comments and suggestions would be most welcome. Regards, Kudpung (talk) 17:17, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi Kudpung. I think the new article wizard is a great idea, but it's not one that I find personally motivating. I haven't been an active editor for a very long time, I'm not on the WMF Growth team anymore, and I don't think I have any competitive advantage for this kind of code (my expertise is mostly in MediaWiki architecture, and this looks like a UX-heavy project). So to the extent I spend free time on Wikipedia/MediaWiki work, I'd rather focus on other things. Sorry. I hope you can find enough contributors to finish it! Tgr (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
