部署状况

请访问Talk pages project/Deployment Status 以了解每个维基媒体维基是否以及如何使用讨论页计划功能。

Some Wikipedias are participating in this project as "partner wikis". This means new communication tools for talk pages will be deployed to these wikis first so we can work together to refine them. If you would like to see these new tools deployed to your wiki, please leave a message on the talk page.

更新

截至2023年3月，通过扩展:讨论工具 发表的新话题和回复数已超过3,000,000。 这相当于wiki上发表的签名评论的四分之一。

过去的更新发布在“更新”子页面上。 团队利用该页面分享有关新功能开发的信息、部署计划和问题。 单独功能的更新会发布到该功能的子页面，例如讨论页计划/回复#更新。

Objectives

Wikipedia depends on contributors collaborating, and communication is an important part of the collaborative process.

^[1]

Trouble is, communicating on Wikipedia happens on talk pages which can be challenging for contributors across experience levels to use.

Contributors with more experience report being slowed down by having to do something manual in order for other contributors "to know who posted what, and when, so they can follow the thread of a conversation, post on a user talk page if appropriate, and even just know whether a posting is recent enough to be worth responding to."^[2]

Newer contributors on the other hand, find basic tasks, like replying to a comment, confusing. In some instances, these contributors even confuse talk pages for article pages.^[3]

The Editing Team has two key objectives with this project. To create tools that:

1. Make it more intuitive for newcomers to communicate with others so they can grow into productive contributors.^[4]
2. Give experienced contributors more leverage to communicate and coordinate their wiki work with others.

This project is an outcome of the 2019 Talk Pages Consultation, a 5-month long effort that brought volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and four projects (Wikipedia, Commons, Wikidata and Wiktionary) together with members of the Wikimedia Foundation to share their experiences with existing wiki communication tools and to help develop improvements to them.

The Talk pages project supports the Wikimedia Movement's Medium Term Plan. Specifically, the plan's Thriving Movement priority area which strives to "welcome and support newcomers." We think newer contributors learning and progressing depends on their ability to communicate with more experienced contributors, and by extension, to use talk pages intuitively.^[4]

词汇表

The talk pages project glossary is intended to help us all communicate about talk pages more effectively by making sure we have a shared understanding about the words we use in our discussions and documentation throughout the project.

常见问题

When will the new version of talk pages be released?

There will not be a "new version" of talk pages that will get released all at once. Instead, this project will be made up of a series of incremental improvements that will be released over time.

How are talk pages going to change?

• Some features may involve introducing new wikitext.

Although, any changes to wikitext will be limited to those that enable new features that benefit contributors. Features like replying to specific comments or watchlisting particular discussions.

• Potentially changing where the "Discussion" tab exists on the page

• Potentially changing where metadata – that currently exists atop some talk pages – is presented
