I also love the new context around why you should create a new article (attached) that you guys put in place. This should be surfaced not just there but in other places as an anonymous users moves through our workflows to explain why it would be better for them to register.

Thanks for the heads up Steven. I'm eager to see this go out and be successful.
Some thoughts
Why not auto check keep me logged in? Do most people create account on public terminals? I doubt it. Most people will create them on their own computers/phone/etc. It would make the form even simpler.
Also, what's the rationale behind *always* having a captcha? Why can't we employ what the fundraiser does with a captcha *only* being show *when* we detect the user as high risk. This yet again would make this simpler and faster for not just mobile users but everyone.

Hey,
Today we (editor engagement experiments team) started an A/B test of a new account registration page on English Wikipedia.
I wanted to bring this up on mobile because, because while it doesn't impact users visiting via MobileFrontend, the design does play niceer with mobile browsers, at least compared to the current default. (See the attached screenshots of mobile Safari on iPhone and iPad. I also tested on Jelly Bean.)
When we move to productize this, we should talk more about implementing the design in a way that jives with what the mobile team is working on.
