このページでは Editing team の業務内容を紹介します。トークページが皆さんにとって直感的にわかり使いやすくなるよう、オンウィキで皆さんの意思疎通が円滑になるよう目指します。

さて、このイニシアティブはトークページプロジェクト という大規模な構想の一環です。ウィキペディアのすべての寄稿者がもっと簡便に意思疎通できるよう目指します。 当チームはこれまで2019年トークページ協議会 を実施、個別のコミュニティの既存の規約を重んじて微調整しながら、トークページの見た目を段階的に進化させる所存です。この取り組みでは、現在の見た目と使いこごちへの下位互換性を保証します（旧版へ戻したい利用者に対応）。 To participate in and follow this project's development, we recommend adding this page to your watchlist.  We will use this page to:

  • 設計の改訂箇所を共有してフィードバックをお願い
  • 展開プランを発表
  • 機能の利用実態調査のデータを共有

What changed?

The new look for talk pages (screenshot of French Wikipedia).

The following changes have been deployed as the final product:

  • We changed how the talk page's main title, adding a space after “Talk:”, and all section titles look, now using Sans-serif.
  • The buttons for replying, subscribing, and starting a new topic appear in a bolder typeface, instead of looking like a regular link.
  • For Vector 2022 users, the table of contents shows the number of comments within a topic.
  • We added meta-information at the top of the talk page (link and date for the latest comment).

Deployment

On 6 May 2024, the set of Usability Improvements (desktop) were made available to all:

  1. Wikis that participated in the A/B test
  2. Sister projects except Commons and Wikidata

Visit Talk pages project/Deployment Status to learn more.

Wikis that participated in the A/B test are informed of the deployment of the Usability Improvements as the default experience on talk pages.

An option to opt-out these changes is available in preferences (uncheck the "Show discussion activity" option).

A/B Test Findings Published

The findings from the A/B test designed to evaluate the suite of desktop talk page design changes are available for you to review.

A/B Test

On 8 May, the A/B test we mentioned in April started at the following Wikipedias:

  • Azerbaijani (azwiki), Bengali (bnwiki), Dutch (nlwiki), German (dewiki), Hebrew (hewiki), Hindi (hiwiki), Indonesian (idwiki), Korean (kowiki), Persian (fawiki), Portuguese (ptwiki), Romanian (rowiki), Thai (thwiki), Turkish (trwiki), Ukrainian (ukwiki), and Vietnamese (viwiki).

On 1 June, we confirmed sufficient data had been gathered to begin an analysis to assess the impact of the suite of changes the Usability portion of the broader Talk Pages Project. In July, we expect results to be ready for the Editing Team to share and for us to collectively make sense of.

2023年4月

The Editing Team is planning an A/B test for Usability features on the desktop site. See phab:T302358 and Talk pages project/Usability/Analysis.

Usability improvements enabled at cs.wiki for everyone (logged in and out) using the Vector (2022) skin.

Today, the suite of Usability Improvements became available to everyone (logged in and out) by default at the Czech and Hungarian Wikipedias who are accessing talk pages with the Vector (2022) skin enabled.

All Usability features are available to all editors using the mobile site.

Seeking Design Feedback

There is a prototype ready that we would value feedback on: https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/e22ef06cf7/wiki/Talk:DiscussionTools

The prototype introduces two changes:

  1. The "Add topic" button appears in a more prominent location on the page (above the existing page toolbar that contains actions links like "Page," "Discussion," "Read," "Edit," "Edit source," etc.)
  2. The "Add topic" button is styled differently

The two changes described above are an effort to make it easier for people to quickly locate and easily "reach for" the button for starting a new discussion topic.

→ Please visit the talk page to share what questions/ideas/concerns this change brings up for you.

Page Frame Features Available at Most Wikis

Next week, people accessing all Wikimedia wikis (except en.wiki) on desktop who have the Show discussion activity setting enabled within Special:Preferences, will see new information on talk pages about the level of activity happening within them.

See the 11 January update for details about the specific changes you can expect.

Page Frame Features Available at Partner Wikis

On Tuesday, 17 January, people accessing the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias on desktop who have the Show discussion activity setting enabled within Special:Preferences, will see the following new features on talk pages:

  1. A visual space between the "namespace" and "page" name portion of a talk page's title
  2. An indicator that describes, and links to, the latest comment published on a given talk page
  3. Information within the table of contents about the number of comments within each section

Usability Improvements in All Talk Namespaces

Next week, people at all Wikipedias who have the Show discussion activity setting enabled within Special:Preferences, will see Usability Improvements when they visit any page within a talk/odd-numbered namespace (e.g. Wikipedia talk, File talk, MediaWiki talk, etc.).

Update to Reply button
New appearance, used on mobile for all languages. Also used on desktop if the word "返信" is one or two characters (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Northern Thai, Cantonese).
New appearance, used on desktop for most languages. Visible to people who have the Show discussion activity setting enabled in Special Preferences.
Oldest appearance. Visible to people who have the Show discussion activity setting disabled in Special Preferences.

The arrow is being added to improve アクセシビリティ .

The default on the desktop site does not include an arrow. The configuration is set globally per language, not per wiki. Follow the process at Requesting wiki configuration changes if you believe your language should include the arrow.

Topic Container (desktop) Deployment

On Tuesday, 30 August, Topic Containers became available on desktop as a Beta Feature at all Wikimedia wikis except for English, German, and Japanese Wikipedias.

Reason being, we are running a central notice campaign at these three wikis to gather feedback about suite of usability improvements. Once these campaigns have finished running and we have understood and responded to the feedback, we will offer desktop Topic Containers as a beta feature at these three Wikipedias.

Design of a new "Add topic" button are ready for you all to review.

2022年版ベクターを有効にした利用者向けの試作版。常置型ヘッダーに [話題追加] ボタンを表示（デスクトップ版）。

This change is designed to make it easier for people to notice and access the "Add Topic" button on desktop talk pages where people do not have access to the new site-wide sticky header and the "Add Topic" button that now appears within it.

Please visit the talk page to share feedback about the designs.

The design you see here are inspired by ideas projects like cs.wiki, en.wiki, fi.wiki, and fr.wiki have implemented to make it easier for people to identify and access the "Add topic" / "New section" link, especially on longer pages. See more in T267444.

Making Topic Containers (desktop) available on more wikis

Yesterday (17 August), Topic Containers became available as a Beta Feature on desktop at all Wikimedia wikis except de.wiki, en.wiki, and ja.wiki.

In the coming weeks, following additional prototype testing, we will offer Topic Containers on desktop at the remaining three wikis mentioned above.

Second deployment

The initial desktop Topic Container deployment seems to have gone well. Accordingly, we are planning to make Topic Containers on desktop available as a Beta Feature at all Wikimedia wikis except de.wiki, en.wiki, and ja.wiki before August is over.

If/when this timing changes we will share an update here.

First deployment

On Wednesday, 20 July, Topic Containers (the new talk page section heading design) became available as a Beta Feature at the first three Wikipedias: Arabic (ar.wiki), Czech (cs.wiki), and Hungarian (hu.wiki).

Over the next few weeks, we will offer Topic Containers as a beta feature at all Wikimedia wikis. This timing assumes we do not discover any significant issues.

In the meantime, if you would like to see what a live talk page looks like with Topic Containers enabled, try visiting hu:User talk:Tacsipacsi (make sure the "Discussion tools" feature is enabled in Beta Features).

Over the past couple of months, people have shared feedback about the initial designs we published in May.[1][2][3] This feedback has been helpful in leading us to see the need for making a series of adjustments to the design. You can the latest designs in the screenshots that accompany this update.

Some of the changes we have made in response to the feedback you all have shared include:

  • Removing the arrow that previously appeared before each "Reply" link
  • Adding the ability for people to click the "Latest comment" indicator and be taken to the most recent comment in the discussion
  • Removing the icons that previously accompanied the metadata that is shown beneath each talk page section heading

First deployment

Before July is over, we plan to offer the new talk page section heading design as a Beta Feature at an initial set of wikis.

You can see and try the new talk page section heading design right now by visiting talk page.

In the next few weeks, a prototype will be ready for you to try out these changes on a test wiki.

In the meantime, a question for you all: What ideas, questions, or concerns do these mockups bring to your mind?

Knowing this will help the team decide whether adjustments ought to be made to the designs prior to inviting you all, and other volunteers from across the Movement, to share feedback about them.

You can review these designs in more detail and share feedback about them on the talk page.

The Topic Containers prototype we mentioned on 11 March is ready for testing.

To try the desktop prototype, please visit Prototype/Topic Containers where you will find a link to the prototype as well as instructions for trying and sharing feedback about the prototype.

The team is continuing to iterate on the Topic Containers designs for both mobile and desktop talk pages.

In the next 1-2 weeks, we will have an initial prototype ready for you all to experiment with and share feedback about. We will also be starting a series of CentralNotice campaigns for volunteers to review and share feedback about the Topic Container prototype which will include:


  • New styling for == H2 == section headings
  • New metadata about talk page discussions. This will include: the number of people who have commented in a discussion, the last time a new comment was published in the discussion, and the total number of people who have participated in the discussion to-date.

Seeking Feedback: Initial "Topic Container" Design Concepts

An initial set of design concepts for Topic Containers is ready for you all to review (see screenshot).

These Topic Containers are an effort to evolve the way talk page section headings ( == H2 ==) appear, and introduce new information within them, to help:

  1. Junior Contributors easily recognize talk pages as containing discussions
  2. Senior Contributors assess the level of activity on talk pages

📣 We would value you reviewing the design concepts and sharing what you think of them on the talk page, so the team can know what changes to explore in the next set of designs we will share in January (2022).

Design work beginning

Design work on Topic Containers – the first intervention we are working on as part of this phase of the Talk Pages Project – is underway.

In the coming weeks, you can expect to see some preliminary sketches posted here for you all to review and for us to talk about together.

In the meantime, if any questions are on your mind about this part of the project, please post them to the talk page.

We need your help

When looking at a talk page, what do you think would make it easier for you to know what conversations are worth reading? Please share what you think on the talk page.

The thoughts you all share will inform the design of the "topic containers" we will start designing soon. These "topic containers" are intended to help people more easily and quickly recognize talk pages as containing conversations and get a sense for the level of activity happening with them.

Strategy

In June, we published the design strategy and set of interventions we are planning to work on as part of the larger effort to help people, across experience levels, identify and understand the conversations happening on talk pages. You can read more about this strategy.

The team has compiled the research that is informing the approach we will take to help Junior Contributors quickly recognize talk pages as spaces to communicate with other volunteers and locate the tools available to do so and help Senior Contributors can quickly evaluate the level of activity happening on talk pages. More information about this can be found in the Objectives and Background sections below.

In the coming weeks, you can expect this page to be updated with the particular interventions we are planning to work on as part of this phase of the project. Before then, you can review how we are planning and organizing this work in Phabricator at T249579.

The team is planning to begin work on the incremental enhancements needed help people instinctively recognize and use talk pages as spaces to communicate with people on-wiki will begin in earnest in ~3 months.

In the meantime, we will be expanding this this page to include the research that is motivating this work and the impact it is intended to have.

目的

ウィキテキスト形式のトークページをもっと読み取りやすくする作業により、以下の成果を目指します:

  1. 編集初学者（以下ジュニア編集者）にも、他のボランティアと意見を交換したり質問する貴重な空間として、ウィキ文形式のトークページを発見してもらう必要があります。
  2. その点、経験のある編集者（以下シニア編集者）に当てはめると、会話の大要をすばやく把握する簡便な方法が必要です。[4][5][6]
  1. Senior Contributors to be able to quickly assess what conversations on a given talk page are worth focusing on.

Impact

Analysis #2: Impact

To learn whether the suite of desktop talk page design changes were effective at causing the impacts they were designed to cause, we conducted an A/B test.

At the 15 Wikipedias that participated in the test, 50% of people who were logged in were shown the new talk page design and 50% were shown the existing experience on desktop talk pages.

We then compared how these two groups of people engaged with talk pages in service of making the following decision: Are the set of Usability Improvements on desktop fit to be made available to everyone, at all Wikimedia wikis, by default?

What follows is a summary of what we learned through this A/B test and ultimately, the conclusion we are drawing from it.

You can read the full test report and learn more about the thinking behind this A/B test.

Learning objectives

To what extent have the suite of desktop talk page design changes been effective at causing the following?

  1. Junior Contributors quickly recognize talk pages as places to communicate with other volunteers and locate the tools available to do so.
  2. Senior Contributors are able to quickly assess which conversations on a given talk page are worth focusing on.

Conclusion

This set of desktop talk page design changes resulting in increased engagement and decreased disruption is leading the Editing Team to be confident that offering these Usability Improvements as default-on features would have a net positive impact on wikis and the people who contribute to them.

  • We did not observe any significant changes in the number of users blocked after publishing a desktop talk page edit.
  • Overall: 0.5% of users shown the suite of desktop talk page design changes were blocked compared to 0.6% of users who were shown the existing experience across all participating Wikipedias and all editor experience levels.

Talk page engagement

Proportion of Junior Contributors that visited a desktop talk page and made an attempt to edit.

  • Of all the visits to desktop talk pages that Junior Contributors made throughout the A/B test, Junior Contributors shown the suite of desktop talk page design changes interacted with the page in 16.7% more talk page views (+1.4 percentage points) than those shown the existing experience.
  • We observed an 19% increase (+0.7 percentage point) in the proportion of talk page views by Junior Contributors that included a saved edit.

Timing

This analysis was completed on 27 June 2023 and analyzed how people engaged with desktop talk pages at az.wiki, bn.wiki, de.wiki, fa.wiki, hi.wiki, he.wiki, id.wiki, ko.wiki, nl.wiki, pt.wiki, ro.wiki, th.wiki, tr.wiki, uk.wiki, and vi.wiki from 8 May 2023 through 28 May 2023.

Analysis #1: Engagement

To learn whether the suite of desktop talk page design changes were negatively impacting peoples' experiences using Wikipedia talk pages, we conducted an initial analysis at the three Wikipedias where these features were first made available by default: ar.wiki, cs.wiki, and hu.wiki.

This analysis was meant to help us answer the following question:

Are the set of Usability Improvements negatively impacting other peoples' experiences using Wikipedia talk pages?

The answer to this question was a key factor in helping the team decide whether these new features were fit to be deployed more widely and evaluated through an A/B test.

Timing

This analysis was completed on 12 April 2023 and analyzed engagement data at ar.wiki, cs.wiki, and hu.wiki during the following time periods:

  • cs.wiki and hu.wiki: 28 February 2023 - 29 March 2023
  • ar.wiki: 05 March 2023 - 3 April 2023

The time periods were selected to collect engagement data two weeks before and two weeks after making the suite of desktop talk page design changes available by default at the participating wikis.

Findings

Full Report

Usability Improvements Engagement Analysis


戦略とアプローチ

戦略：「読みやすさを目指してゆっくり開発」

We will make incremental and optional changes* to elevate the core talk page components (e.g. topic headings and conversation metadata) and calls to action (e.g. replying to a comment, starting a new discussion, subscribing to a topic, etc.). We will seek changes to improve peoples' ability to:

  • Recognize talk pages as space to communicate with other people
  • Identify and understand the conversations happening on talk pages
  • Know what to do to engage with talk pages

*We are using "optional changes" in this context to mean that new functionality will be developed in ways that ensure people retain the flexibility to turn it off.

アプローチ

上記の戦略を実現するため3期に分けており、以下に概要を示します。

It is important that volunteers' needs and expectations are heard and incorporated into the design process. To do this, we will publicize the questions and decisions that guide the implementation of each of the phases below and make sure this information is easy to engage with.

第1期：見出しのコンテナ（トピックを明示）

見出しの新しいデザイン、ウィキペディアチェコ語版の例。トーク ページの中見出し（レベル 2、デスクトップ版の画面キャプチャ）
チェコ語版ウィキペディアにトピック枠を実装（デスクトップ版）

First, we will evolve how talk page section headings (read: ==H2==) are visually represented and introduce discussion-specific metadata within these headings.

"Discussion-specific metadata" in this context refers to information like: the last time the conversation was edited, the number of comments in the conversation, the number of unique people who have participated in the conversation, etc.

詳細情報はT269950を参照。

第2期：アフォーダンス

次に特定の投稿に返信したり、新しい主題を始めるときの方法を見つけたりアクセスする簡便さについてアフォーダンスを調べます。

詳細情報はT267444およびT255560を参照。

第3期：コンテキストの枠組み

この締めくくりの期間に、ページ全体のレベルで新しい視覚的要素を追加する予定です。トークページに来た人がここはトークページだ、編集者同士の意思疎通をする場所だとすぐに伝わり、何が進行しているのか見極めができるようにします。

背景

The Editing team is committed to evolving wikitext talk pages in a way that gives experienced contributors more leverage to coordinate their work and connect with other editors, while making the same communication and coordination practices and capabilities legible and intuitive for newer contributors.

For these wikitext talk pages to be valuable, Junior Contributors need to intuitively recognize them as spaces to communicate with other volunteers and Senior Contributors need to be able to spend minimal effort understanding the conversations happening on a given page.

The trouble is, volunteers across experience levels report the current presentation of wikitext talk pages can make recognizing talk pages, understanding the conversations happening within them, and identifying what they need to click/tap to participate in these conversations unnecessarily difficult.

Specifically, user feedback [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], usability tests[15][16] the Talk Page Consultation (see: #Newcomers, #Confusion, and #Design), and academic research[7] have highlighted the difficulties people have reading and using talk pages:

Talk pages and their current configuration proved confusing...For [some] participants, it took more than 4-5 minutes to understand the Talk page itself which was “disorganised” making it “difficult to take part in the discussion.”
—Understanding and improving Wikipedia Article Discussion Spaces
I don't know what it means really to start a new discussion. Because none of this looks like a discussion.
—Junior Contributor usability test participant
I often have trouble visually parsing long discussions on the WP:Help desk, for example. Sometimes, a discussion will involve three or more people and/or have five or more posts. Spacing between posts is not standardized, nor are signatures, nor is indentation, nor is the length of posts. Sometimes, people become confused and respond as if one person is the author of what another user has written.
—User:Quisqualis writing in Navigating within long-winded discussions...
I felt I had to scan the page a lot for what i needed, as different elements didn't really stand out. It wasn't really obvious that i was looking at a message from someone...
—Junior Contributor usability test participant

By making the components that comprise talk pages conversations (e.g. conversation topics, conversation boundaries, comments, etc.) and the tools necessary for participating in them easier for people to parse, we are striving to:

  1. Increase the likelihood Junior Contributors quickly recognize talk pages as spaces to communicate with other volunteers and locate the tools available to do so and
  2. Increase the likelihood Senior Contributors can quickly evaluate the level of activity happening on talk pages.

経緯

Many projects, conversations and research have, and are, working to improve contributors' experiences with talk pages. This project is better off for their existence.
