Hi EE team!
I have two comments about the account creation process on (French)
Wikipedia.
The GettingStarted extension is not deployed on French Wikipedia, but we
are thinking about it. In the meantime, we propose to newbies to introduce
themselves. This was made by an adapted message on our local
MediaWiki:Welcome creation-msg
(
see<https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg>)g>).
Was, because since an undefined time, the return link after the sign-up
form don't redirect to this message. How can we fix it? This profile
creation step is highly appreciated by the PRC and users involved in new
users help.
During my tests in order to verify that, I've created some accounts, and
I've seen a UX issue. The notification badge was a red sign between to red
links. This should be tested, but I think some new users will not see the
notifications badge. On French Wikipedia, we suggest(ed) to create the
profile page asap and send a welcome message by bot to each newbie, which
may increase the contrast (blue/red) near of the notifications badge. What
else should be done?
Have a good Sunday! :)
