It might be worth piloting this with one of the more active partnerships as
well. Both BNA and
Newspapers.com lend themselves particularly well to
hashtags, because there are lots of smaller edits, to a wider range of
pages. If you wanted to coordinate a 2-3 month trial with editors that have
access to a particular project, asking all of them to try using the
hashtags, and then collect feedback on if they found themselves using the
hashtags and/or how successful they were at using them: that would be great!
As you know from the blog post:

, the hashtags tool is still highly experimental -- so understanding to
what extent experienced editors find this useful/intuitive would be great!

Neat idea Shyamal. We are looking at a few ways to
track when partner
sources are added. The |via parameter, link search, and hashtags are all
an option. We want to ideally limit the amount of extra
thinking/remembering/doing editors have to do. I love your initiative here
and think it's worth leaving as a suggestion for editors on the TWL talk
page, or perhaps in our next newsletter.

The new tool to track edit comments with hashtags
seems like something
useful to keep track of contributions. I have recently begun using #BNA and
#JSTOR to mark some of my edits and it seems useful. It might be worth
discussing and deciding standards for better tracking of usage of Wikipedia
Library access grants and their usage.
