Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings/Testing/Articles for creation

This page is for documenting potential tests of the user notifications given through Articles for creation.

Templates

We may potentially test a third new option, see our draft space

1. {{Afc talk-rand}}, including...

   {{Afc talk-default}}

   {{Afc talk-new}}

2. {{Afc onhold-rand}}, including...

   {{Afc onhold-default}}

   {{Afc onhold-new}}

3. {{Afc decline-rand}}, including...

   {{Afc decline-default}}

   {{Afc decline-new}}

Testing strategy

Possibly options...

• By hand delivery. This works fine but is slow.
• {{AFC submission}}, which includes links that preload the relevant templates
• User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js, which may not actually deliver templates...? Testing required.

Analysis

The following is description of the variables we'll want to measure after the test is completed. Please add to it or comment!

Qualitative improvement

How much are authors editing drafts and resubmitting them (if declined)? How many message recipient's articles are accepted and moved to mainspace? What kind of feedback are message recipients giving the AfC process?

Retention

Are those who receive any of the notifications editing 0-3, 30, or 60 days after?
