A game built on a travel-photograph-upload loop would be a great way to
build our depth of imagery.

Hi Pine -- did you have any specific ideas? I spent
some time in the
gaming industry and am familiar with Ingress, the game that Pokeman Go is
based on, as well as the theories behind mechanics/compulsion loops that
mobile games use.
I'll share one general thought -- the research-edit-publish loop is a
great mechanism -- it's quick and easy and very gratifying, especially
combined with a google search.
However, we've generally found that the notion that we use gaming
mechanics to encourage people to read or edit wikipedia does not have broad
support in our communities.

Hi WMF Mobile and Research,
I'm wondering if we (mostly meaning "you" but perhaps with external
collaborators) have considered how the Wikipedia mobile apps, Wikipedia
mobile web, the Wikidata game, and/or the Commons app could borrow some
design ideas or features from Pokémon Go to make Wikimedia offerings more
appealing, particularly to younger audiences. This would apply to content
consumption and contribution, as well as community aspects of Wikimedia
experiences, particularly on mobile platforms.
Thanks,
Pine
