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
- {{Afc talk-rand}}, including...
- {{Afc talk-default}}
- {{Afc talk-new}}
- {{Afc onhold-rand}}, including...
- {{Afc onhold-default}}
- {{Afc onhold-new}}
- {{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 many authors edit their submissions after receiving a message?
- How many authors are editing drafts and resubmitting them after being 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 days after?
- 30 days after?
- 60 days after?
- ... and in what namespaces?
- Do message recipients create any more AfC drafts or articles?
- Are any message recipients blocked (after at any point or any duration)?
