Edit Discovery
Help volunteers intuitively discover opportunities to improve Wikimedia Projects.
|
There are many paths people can take to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
This page offers an overview of the various entry points to said paths that are present within Wikimedia project interfaces.
目的
This page, and the practice of maintaining it, is designed to equip Wikimedia Foundation Product Teams with the information they need to help volunteers intuitively discover opportunities to improve Wikimedia Projects.
Initially, this page is intended for Product Department staff who are seeking to expose a new contribution opportunity to volunteers. This page will enable these staff members to evaluate all of the existing editing entry points so that they can decide to do one of the following:
- Create a new entry point
- Integrate with an existing entry point
- Consolidate existing entry points
