This is a help page for researchers of MediaWikiWikimedia wikis' content, users and their socio-technical implications.

There are some concrete steps researchers can take to help others (researchers and editors alike) and themselves:

# Announce their research projects/ideas/outcomes in [[Research:Index]]. (It's like saying hello.)

# Write/contribute to [[Research:Newsletter]] to introduce others to the latest and/or relevant research. (It's like doing [[:en:literature review|literature review]]. See more [[Research_talk:Newsletter#Contributors_wanted_for_editorial_tasks|here]])

# Find/read/contribute a research concept/topic such as [[Research:Editor_retention]]. (It's like writing [[:en:conceptual framework|conceptual framework]].)

# Discuss research ideas with the Wikimedia research team members. (It's like talking to fellow researchers who happen to be embedded into the Wikimedia Foundation.) By doing so, researchers can better

#* Get editors to paritcipate in their research (survey, interviews, panels, or experiments)

#* Get data to analyze for their research
