Hey,
Here's the lowdown on new work we deployed today on the Editor Engagement Experiments team.
- GuidedTour is now added to frwiki, dewiki, bewiki, mkwiki, mediawiki.org, and outreachwiki. (I added announcements to the German and French Village Pumps.)
- We enabled a 50/50 split test of the "getting started" tour on English Wikipedia (try it on any article with ?tour=gettingstarted at the end of the URL). We did this in order to measure the impact of the tour on the ability of new folks to complete their first edit, and find their way back to Special:GettingStarted if they want.
- We deployed bug fixes and enhancements to PostEdit, including...
- The popup displayed on a new tab after submit, bug 41805
- We made it easier to close, bug 41323
-
We increased the time on screen from 2 to 3 seconds, bug 41512
- We made a fix to the way it looks in Monobook, bug 41240
