New Engagement Experiments/PES 1.3.2: Wikipedia games

< New Engagement Experiments

Hypothesis: If we create Wikipedia-based games for daily use that highlights the connections across vast areas of knowledge, it will encourage consumers to visit Wikipedia regularly and facilitate active learning, leading to longer increased interaction with content on Wikipedia.

  • Primary success metric -At least one completed experimental project that provides at least one recommendation about gamification of learning as an opportunity to increase onwiki engagement.
  • Secondary metrics - Measures to determine success of the experiment itself in increasing engagement. Potentially:
    • Interactions - Views, Time on Site, etc
    • Account creations
    • App installs
    • Donations
  • Proposed games
    • Wikipedia Linking game (eg. Wiki Racing, the Wikipedia game, speedrun) - The ‘classic’ Wikipedia game, where players are given two articles and must find the shortest or fastest distance between them using blue links.
    • Wikipedia Trivia game - A daily trivia game utilizing Wikipedia content to create trivia questions.
