Hi all, This is a (couple hours late) notice about what Editor Engagement Experiments deployed today. First up: after weeks of controlled testing and lots of follow up work, our redesigns of account creation and login are available for testing on all Wikimedia projects. Per our blog post,[1] we're doing this on an opt-in basis for about a week, to ensure localizations have time to be done correctly and that there are no critical bugs undiscovered. After that, we'll enable the new forms as defaults. Along with this, we deployed a change to the CAPTCHA extension used across Wikimedia projects to add a refresh button, whether you're viewing the CAPTCHA on login, account creation, or the edit window. Hopefully this will lessen frustrations for new or anonymous editors when trying to fill out one of our security checks. If you want to talk further about the login and account creation updates, I've posted to the Village Pumps of the top ten Wikipedias, and will shortly to the English version of the other sister projects. We're also holding an IRC office hours on Saturday, at 18:00 UTC, to discuss these changes.[2] -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/ 1. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/04/25/try-new-login-accountcreation/ 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours _______________________________________________ EE mailing list EE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/ee
