Greetings! For this month's issue...
'''We have demos!'''
After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:
* A WikiProject workflow that focuses on action items: discussions you can participate in and tasks you can perform to improve the encyclopedia; and
* An automatically updating WikiProject directory that gives you lists of users participating in the WikiProject and editing in that subject area.
We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Tech LadyMafia Edit-a-thon, April 2015: Women in Tech|edit-a-thon in Washington, DC]]. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|WikiProject X's talk page]].
Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.
While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a [[User:Reports bot/Directory|demonstration]] featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.
Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use [[Template:WikiProject description page|this template]], if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.
'''We need volunteers!'''
WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Volunteers|volunteer portal]] and see what you can do to help us!
'''As an aside...'''
Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature [[Wikipedia:Flow|Flow]] deployed (on a ''totally experimental basis'') on the new [[Wikipedia:Article request workshop|Article Request Workshop]], which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • May/June 2015'''</div>
Hello friends! We have been hard at work these past two months. For this report:
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The directory is live!'''</div>
For the first time, we are happy to bring you [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory|an exhaustive, comprehensive WikiProject Directory]]. This directory endeavors to list every single WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, including those that don't participate in article assessment. In constructing the broadest possible definition, we have come up with a list of approximately 2,600 WikiProjects. The directory tracks activity statistics on the WikiProject's pages, and, for where it's available, statistics on the number of articles tracked by the WikiProject and the number of editors active on those articles. Complementing the directory are description pages for each project, listing usernames of people active on the WikiProject pages and the articles in the WikiProject's scope. This will help Wikipedians interested in a subject find each other, whether to seek feedback on an article or to revive an old project. (There is an [[User:Reports bot/Opt-out|opt-out]] option.) We have also come up with listings of [[Wikipedia:Related WikiProjects|related WikiProjects]], listing the ten most relevant WikiProjects based on what articles they have in common. We would like to promote WikiProjects as interconnected systems, rather than isolated silos.
A tremendous amount of work went into preparing this directory. WikiProjects do not consistently categorize their pages, meaning we had to develop our own index to match WikiProjects with the articles in their scope. We also had to make some adjustments to how WikiProjects were categorized; indeed, I personally have racked up a few hundred edits re-categorizing WikiProjects. There remains more work to be done to make the WikiProject directory truly useful. In the meantime, take a look and feel free to leave feedback at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|WikiProject X talk page]].
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Stuff in the works!'''</div>
What have we been working on?
* '''A new design template'''—This has been in the works for a while, of course. But our goal is to design something that is useful and cleanly presented on all browsers and at all screen resolutions while working within the confines of what MediaWiki has to offer. Additionally, we are working on designs for the sub-components featured on the main project page.
* '''A new WikiProject talk page banner in Lua'''—Work has begun on implementing the WikiProject banner in Lua. The goal is to create a banner template that can be usable by any WikiProject in lieu of having its own template. Work has slowed down for now to focus on higher priority items, but we are interested in your thoughts on how we could go about creating a more useful project banner. We have a [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:ProjectTags draft module] on Test Wikipedia, with a [https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuaMania demonstration].
* '''New discussion reports'''—We have over 4.8 million articles on the English Wikipedia, and almost as many talk pages as well. But what happens when someone posts on a talk page? What if no one is watching that talk page? We are currently testing out a system for an automatically-updating new discussions list, like [[WP:RFC|RFC]] for WikiProjects. We currently have five test pages up for the WikiProjects on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis/New discussions|cannabis]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cognitive science/New discussions|cognitive science]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology/New discussions|evolutionary biology]], and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana/New discussions|Ghana]].
* '''SuggestBot for WikiProjects'''—We have asked the maintainer of [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] to make some minor adjustments to SuggestBot that will allow it to post regular reports to those WikiProjects that ask for them. Stay tuned!
* '''Semi-automated article assessment'''—Using the new [[m:Grants:IEG/Revision scoring as a service|revision scoring service]] and another system currently under development, WikiProjects will be getting a new tool to facilitate the article assessment process by providing article quality/importance predictions for articles yet to be assessed. Aside from helping WikiProjects get through their backlogs, the goal is to help WikiProjects with collecting metrics and triaging their work. Semi-automation of this process will help achieve consistent results and keep the process running smoothly, as automation does on other parts of Wikipedia.
Want us to work on any other tools? Interested in volunteering? Leave a note on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The WikiProject watchers report is back!'''</div>
The database report which lists [[Wikipedia:Database reports/WikiProject watchers|WikiProjects according to the number of watchers]] (i.e., people that have the project on their [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]]), is back! The report stopped being updated a year ago, following the deactivation of the Toolserver, but a replacement report has been generated.

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • October 2015'''</div>
Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''We did it!'''</div>
In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|Cannabis]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|Evolutionary Biology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|Ghana]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|Hampshire]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|Women's Health]]. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red|Women in Red]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]]. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|Pilots]] page.
Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our [[:File:WikiProject X presentation - Wikimania 2015.pdf|slides]] are on Wikimedia Commons.
Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Final|grant report]] filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The work continues!'''</div>
There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. '''[[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|Comments on the proposal are welcome]]'''. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|renewal proposal]].
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?'''</div>
The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what ''you'' think. The session is being '''[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113973 planned on Phabricator]''', the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ login page]. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''What comes next'''</div>
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects ''harder''.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
* Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the [[User:Reports bot|Reports Bot]] reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
* One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
* Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].
Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''One database for Wikipedia requests'''</div>
Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.
In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?
Introducing '''Wikipedia Requests''', a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.
The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.
Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia'''</div>
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce '''[https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en Wikipedia Requests]''' is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]], [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]], or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]] (which I work on as part of my [[WP:NIOSH|NIOSH]] duties) and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists|WikiProject Women scientists]].
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the [https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en/add Add form] to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{tl|Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying <code>article=</code>, <code>category=</code>, or <code>wikiproject=</code>, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{tlx|Wikipedia Requests|2=category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Help us build our list!'''</div>
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project]] and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''An open database means new tools'''</div>
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]] generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: '''[https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en Citation Hunt]''', the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name <code>s52475__wpx_p</code>. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called <code>projectindex</code>. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''On the horizon'''</div>
* The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
* The [[meta:WikiCite 2016|WikiCite]] meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 requested by the Wikipedia Library] back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

This month: '''A general update.'''
{{-}}
The current status of the project is as follows:
* Progress of the project has been generally delayed since September due to development issues (more bitrot than expected, some of the code just being genuinely confusing, etc) and personal injury (I suffered a concussion in October and was out of commission for almost two months as a result).
* I currently expect to be putting out a proper call for CollaborationKit pilots in January/February, with estimated deployment in February/March if things don't go horribly wrong (they will, though, don't worry). As a part of that, I will properly update [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|the page]] and send out announcement and reach out to all projects [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots#Sign-up_list|already signed up as pilots]] for WikiProject X in general, at which point those (still) interested can volunteer specifically to test the [[mw:extension:CollaborationKit|CollaborationKit extension]].
** [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots]] was originally created for the first WikiProject X prototype, and given this is where the project has since gone, it's only logical to continue to use it. While I haven't yet updated the page to properly reflect this:
** If you want to add your project to this page now, feel free. Just bear in mind that more information what to actually expect will be added later/included in the announcement, because by then I will have a much better idea myself.
* Until then, you can find me in my corner working on making the CollaborationKit code do what we want and not just what we told it, per [[phab:tag/mediawiki-extensions-collaborationkit/|the workboard]].

Updates: I've been focusing largely on the development side of things, so we are a lot closer now to being ready to actually start discussing deploying it and testing it out here.
There's just a few things left that need to be resolved:
* A bunch of language support issues in particular, plus some [[phab:tag/mediawiki-extensions-collaborationkit/|other release blockers]], such as the fact that currently there's no good way to find any hubs people do create.
* We also probably need some proper documentation and examples up to even reference if we want a meaningful discussion. We have [[mw:Extension:CollaborationKit|the extension documentation]] and [[testwiki:Wikipedia:WikiProject Test|some test projects]], but we probably need a bit more. Also I need to be able to even ''find'' the test projects! How can I possibly write ''reports'' about this stuff if I can't find any of it?!
Some other stuff that's happened in the meantime:
* [[meta:Grants:Project/WikiProject_X/CollaborationKit_MVP/Midpoint|Midpoint report is out]] for this round of the project, if you want to read in too much detail about all the problems I've been running into.
* [[WP:MOLBIO|WikiProject Molecular Biology]] have successfully set up using the [[Template:Load WikiProject Modules|old module system]] that CollaborationKit is intended to replace (eventually), and it even seems to work, so go them. Based on the issues they ran into, it looks like the members signup thing on that system has some of the same problems as we've been unable to resolve in CK, though, which is... interesting. (Need to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=902570723&oldid=901847583&title=MediaWiki%3AGadget-formWizard%2FWikiProject_Molecular_Biology%2FJoin&action=historysubmit&type=revision change the content model to the right thing] for the formwizard config to take. Ugh, content models.)
Until next time,

A final update, for now:
The third grant-funded round of [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X|WikiProject X]] has been completed. Unfortunately, while this round has not resulted in a deployed product, I am not planning to resume working on the project for the foreseeable future. Please see the [[m:Grants:Project/WikiProject X/CollaborationKit MVP/Final|final report]] for more information.
