How can I start to gain trust in the wiki community? --Provemyteacherwrongbygettingmebanned (talk) 20:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

@Provemyteacherwrongbygettingmebanned Welcome to Wikipedia. By making constructive edits that improve articles and having communication to clarify things will go a long way towards building trust.

Question from Doofenberg (19:33, 14 February 2025)

Hi, um I had a question. How does one ask someone to make a new article, because a artist named John Clark Matthews might be eligible for a article. Sorry for the not terribly important question. --Doofenberg (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

@Doofenberg we are all volunteers, so if you think there should be an article; then perhaps you will be the one most inclined to create it. Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun!

Growth Newsletter #33

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

Constructive Activation Experiments

This year, the Growth team is exploring ways to help more new account holders start editing—and do so constructively, meaning their edits are not reverted. Our latest experiments include:

  • Gradual rollout of "Add a Link" at English Wikipedia – We are gradually introducing the "Add a Link" structured task to newcomers at English Wikipedia (T386029). This serves as a natural A/B test to measure its impact on activation, retention, and revert rates (T382603). Previous experiments on pilot wikis showed that "Add a Link" increases newcomer participation, particularly by helping them make constructive (non-reverted) edits.
  • Testing in-article suggestions for first-time editors – Many new account holders want to contribute but don’t know where to start. To help, we’re piloting a feature that surfaces structured task suggestions directly in an article’s read view for brand-new editors (T385343). These suggestions will appear for logged-in users with no edits, providing a clear, simple way to begin contributing that is surfaced while they read.

Community Updates

Newcomers often struggle to find their place in Wikipedia’s collaborative environment. While experienced editors easily discover events like edit-a-thons and writing campaigns, newcomers often miss out.

  • To bridge this gap, we launched the Community Updates module for the Newcomer Homepage. This module is disabled by default, allowing Community Admins to decide how (or if) to use it.
  • If your community hosts events, consider setting up a Community Update to engage and welcome newcomers! Learn more on Diff. To configure, visit Special:CommunityConfiguration.

Community Configuration

Community Configuration is now available across all wikis, including non-Wikipedia projects (T383910). Community Configuration allows admins to customize various features like Growth features and Automoderator for their communities, and more recently the Babel extension now allows admins to modify configuration:

Mentorship

Mentors play a key role in guiding new editors. If you’re interested in mentoring, or turning mentorship on at your wiki, check out the Mentorship FAQ

  • Starting February 17, 100% of new accounts at English Wikipedia will be assigned a mentor (T384505).
  • At Spanish Wikipedia, on 50% of newcomers get a mentor. Experienced contributors are encouraged to join mentorship so that Spanish Wikipedia can provide a mentor to all new users.

Looking Ahead

In the coming months, we will continue balancing maintenance work—such as deprecating EditGrowth Config (T367574) and migrating Statslib (T359352) — with user-facing improvements that support new editors and foster the next generation of contributors.

@SuperMateoWorld Every sentence/claim needs to have a citation in Draft:Kristel Elling, and in total, entire article needs to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability criteria. Is the subject notable by Wikipedia standards of significant coverage? We have 7 million articles right now. More broadly, I would also recommend making edits elsewhere on Wikipedia to see how other articles and policies work first.

Question from JamesEMonroe (04:16, 26 March 2025)

It's kind of frustrating dealing with all the bells and whistles of the fast plug in... I'm not sure what you call it.. things. It might be because I'm not used to it and don't know how to work around it but I prefer if I could just be allowed to type and cite where I want without a pop up. Maybe I'm just too used to academic papers it's a lot of times it feels like I cant move around things or change certain little things if I don't type it into a little thing that pops up. I'm just not sue how to deal with it. and doing the source editing doesn't show you everything as well, at least how I did it so I cant just type there --JamesEMonroe (talk) 04:16, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

@JamesEMonroe I feel you! Policy wise, there is no rule requiring any citation style or even consistency, but I highly recommend it. Personally, if I see an existing article I try to use the article's existing conventions. But if you are creating an article from scratch, feel free to use your own convention. Sometimes a link does not even exist. But if it does, it helps to provide it, so others can verify the claims. But you can leave attributes blank, if it's not your favorite thing. See Wikipedia:Citation templates are evil for a similar essay. 18:05, 29 March 2025 (UTC) ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:05, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Missmistay (18:03, 25 March 2025)

Why cant I edit certain pages? --Missmistay (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

@Missmistay which page were you trying to edit? Some pages are restricted, due to high levels of vandalism. Others are restricted by policy, for example highly used templates, or articles on Israel and Palestine require special access levels. You can learn more at Wikipedia:Protection policy. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:07, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Theanthonymovement (14:40, 21 April 2025)

Hi Shushugah,

I hope you are well! And appreciate the mentorship in publishing new articles on Wikipedia. I just wanted to get some of your thoughts on this article draft that's been rejected:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Homebase_(software)

It mentions that it appears more of an advertisement but I clearly cited and sticked to the facts (and also referenced other similar articles like this). Just wanted to see what specific sections/entries I can improve on so that it goes through approval more seamlessly.

Really appreciate your time! --Theanthonymovement (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

@Theanthonymovement hello, every claim is attributed to a source, the quality of the sources are not very high. Several of the sources are simply the website or blog posts close to the company. The sections about capital funding, number of customers are not interesting to most people, except the company itself. I would recommend reading WP:NPRODUCT and WP:PROMO and challenge you to show in future edit attempts, what makes this article notable and extensively covered in WP:secondary sourcing. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 02:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Remote work laws

Chag Sameach! I hope all is well with you. Dutch law states that "Working from home is not a legal right. However, according to the Flexible Working Act...employees may submit a written request to work (partly) from home" and that employers "must have a good reason for refusing such a request." According to the World Economic Forum, a similar law was drafted in Germany. Do you know what became of it? Is this now codified under German law? Thank you. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 18:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Chag sameach @Bohemian Baltimore, "Mobilearbeit" does not have a concrete legal definition or regulation for the most part still. In the Works Constitution Act, Section 87, Paragraph 1. Sentence 14 does newly refer to principles of mobile work being regulatable in a works agreement. So if the employer refuses mobile work for anyone, then the only possibility would be if it was guaranteed in individual labor contractors, but there's no laws mandating this. This is not to be confused with "telework" which is travelling work, for example sales-people or others who travel for work. There, it's regulated within Telearbeitsgesetz. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 19:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@Shushugah Thank you for the clarification. The remote work article has a brief "Legal aspects" section that doesn't really give global coverage of laws and regulations related to remote work. I was trying to think of a name for a separate article. Remote work laws? Remote work legislation? Remote work regulations? Maybe Legal aspects of remote work? I'm not quite sure yet. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Legal aspects of remote work is my favorite name as the other article titles would indicate a simple list. But all are reasonable to have as redirects either way. I'd be happy to give some of them a gloss over. I think tax residency/evasion, digital nomadism, health and safety are all legal considerations on top of explicit remote work legislation. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 02:24, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
