Volunteer Supporters Network/VSN Training: Analysis of Editors Engagement Data

< Volunteer Supporters Network
Volunteer Supporters Network

This session, "From Data to Discovery: Hands-On Analysis of Editors Engagement Data", will look at how to understand editors engagement after your training event.

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore a Python notebook that enables us to gain insights into activities of editors who participated in our training events, enriching the captured data of the Outreach Dashboard with the Wikimedia API.

We will do this with a ready to use code, so whether you are a seasoned data analyst or a Wikimedia trainer, this workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge to perform data-driven analysis on editor behavior.

During the workshop, you will learn how to:

  1. Access a Python notebook from a repository (Gitlab).
  2. Connect the notebook to your PAWS account (Personalized Access to Web Services) using your existing MediaWiki login.
  3. Perform data preprocessing and data visualizations of your Outreach Dashboard dataset through ready-to-use functions

We will only have one hour, so it is strongly recommended that before this session you:

  1. Get a MediaWiki account to access PAWS.
  2. Have a link to an Outreach Dashboard training at hand that you would like to explore; make sure you choose a workshop that happened on or before 2021 (example)
  3. Give PAWS a try, login in with your MediaWiki account, and email silviaegt@wikimedia.org in case you encounter any issues. You can start exploring the code by downloading it from here.

The Volunteer Supporters Network's safe space policy for video conferences

edit

Basic rules for all participants

edit
  • Friendliness and mutual respect – contribute to a pleasant atmosphere and a climate of friendliness and fairness. Refrain from statements that are intimidating, degrading, offensive or discriminatory, or that could be understood as such, even if you are talking about non-participants. Threats of violence, incitement to violence and unwanted sexual attention are unacceptable.
  • Openness – Be open for all Wikimedians to participate. Restrictions can be made for organizational or technical reasons. Persons on the Wikimedia Foundation Event Ban list are excluded from participating in the video conference.
  • Identity – Do not attempt to impersonate another person. Do not misrepresent your affiliation with any individual or entity.
  • Privacy – Respect the self chosen degree of anonymity of all participants. Allow participation with audio only (without video). Use the names of the participants, which they themselves indicate in the video conference. If video and/or audio recordings are planned, all participants must be informed of this, including the intended purpose, before the start of the meeting. Still images (screenshots) may only be taken during the video conference with the express consent of all participants concerned.
  • Data protection – Do not collect any personal data of the participants in the context of the video conference. For instance, do not demand that participants send you wikimails or reply to your wikimails. In the case of written notes intended for publication, use quotations that can be individually assigned sparingly and carefully. Never disclose or threaten to disclose private information about a person without explicit consent.

Facilitation

edit
  • Recognizability – The participant in the facilitation role is automatically identified during the video conference (e. g. with a star symbol, as "facilitator" or as "administrator", depending on the platform). Ideally, the facilitator should be the person who starts or leads the video conference. If this is not possible for technical reasons or if the facilitation role has to change during a video conference, please point this out to the other participants.
  • Technical role – During the video conference, the facilitator has extended technical rights. This includes the ability to exclude other participants.
  • Social role – The facilitator is expected to support compliance with these rules with his or her extended technical rights and to coordinate additional measures if necessary. The facilitator may take any action to enforce these rules, including excluding participants and terminating the video conference.

Enforcement

edit
  • Personal responsibility – All participants are responsible for compliance with these rules to the best of their ability.
  • Reporting – If you believe that someone else is not following this policy, you have the following options: (1) point out the terms openly, (2) inform only the facilitator (for example, by using the direct chat function) and/or (3) inform the Wikimedia affiliate that offers the respective video conference platform.
  • Consequences – In case of violations, the facilitator can act immediately. The Wikimedia affiliate providing the video conference platform may subsequently exclude participants from funding and a future participation in video conferences as well as, in the case of particularly serious violations, also pass on data to third parties.
