Description

We will deploy our MVP on an initial set of wikis, highlighting it to users who meet some criteria. This ticket and its subtasks tracks our progress towards actually launching this experiment.

Experiment wikis
Because we want to filter recent edits on their Revert Risk score, we will be capable of launching this experiment initially on the following wikis where this data is available (T392144), and additional wikis if we deploy to them. We have selected the following wikis due to the combination of editor counts and Revert Risk filtered edit counts:

ProjectLang code
Indonesian Wikipediaid
Turkish Wikipediatr
Simple English Wikipediasimple
Thai Wikipediath

User criteria
To be opted in to the experiment, registered accounts must have made 100 edits. We have decided not to include an upper limit on edit count or tenure.

Given the above wikis and this criterion, over an 8 week period we should invite at least 500 editors to view the Dashboard (T402802).

Invite method(s)
T410036: Invite users to view Special:Dashboard

We may explore other invitation methods in addition to this.

MVP Scope

  • Users can browse a list of edits which are likely to need review, that have not yet been patrolled or reverted.
  • Users can read a summary of four key policies and guidelines, with examples.
  • Users are presented with relevant impact metrics that encourage patrolling activities.
  • Users receive a brief onboarding to the Dashboard on initial page load.
  • Users eligible to view the Dashboard receive a popup directing them there, via a new link in the Personal Tools menu.
  • There is a note that this page is a work in progress, and a link to a survey to provide feedback.

Samwalton9-WMF renamed this task from Launch new moderator homepage experiment to Launch new moderator homepage MVP.Nov 5 2025, 11:13 AM
Samwalton9-WMF updated the task description. (Show Details)

Suggested wording for Tech News:

Users on four pilot Wikipedias can now access Special:PersonalDashboard, an early version of an experience which introduces newer users to patrolling.

We probably want to link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Moderator_Tools/Dashboard, but not sure where to do so in this draft.
