Need for help
[edit]Hello @Omotecho, please can you help me to mark these following pages to translate on the current version ?
- WikiLinguila
- Event:Wiki na monɔkɔ lya bísó
- Template:WikiLinguila group/Nav
- WikiForMotherTongue
- Template:WikiForMotherTongue/header
Just according to your schedule, I remain patient thank you ! Jmb tista (talk) 10:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Jmb tista, thank you reaching out. I am thrilled to see your list, and congratulations, that some of the pages you have listed are already put through to i18n (internationalization) efforts. (=
- Unfortunately, my hands are tied at the moment on ESEAP conference in Indonesia, maybe till the outcome reports will need translation hands in and around early June...
- Jmb tista, would you care to request mentoring with translation administrators, or either @Shirayuki @Ciell, if you have any difficulty ? Their judgement is always what I have admired.
- FYI, my small tokens to pay forward are:
- Template:WikiLinguila group/Nav in /ja.
- Event:Wiki na monɔkɔ lya bísó landed in /ja, yet to work on contents. (pinging @YShibata:(^人^) would you notify to anybody who might jump in for en-ja pls? )
- Kindly, in respect of your bearing the flag, Omotecho (talk) 11:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you from the heart @Omotecho ! Please @Shirayuki @Ciell @YShibata, help me ! Jmb tista (talk) 11:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmb tista, @Omotecho, I've just begun translating. I hope contributors in Japan will see you at Wikimanias. YShibata (talk) 09:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Jmb tista (talk) 10:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- I am not a translation admin though, sorry Omotecho! (Just very interested in languages, haha) Ciell (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Ciell for your note, and yes, I admire your wings of languages! <3 (; They are very wide compared to mine across a set of two (or with scripts lucky to de-cypher maybe 30% of zh-ja?) Cheers, Omotecho (talk) 02:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you from the heart @Omotecho ! Please @Shirayuki @Ciell @YShibata, help me ! Jmb tista (talk) 11:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Community Configuration
[edit]The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration
.
This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig
. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.
You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.
If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!
Current work
[edit]Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
Future work
[edit]Increase constructive activation on mobile
As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.
Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.
