Description

In order to T401245: Rewrite GrowthExperiments in a way that it can be enabled on all Wikipedias automatically, we need to have a plan on what things need to change. The best way to get that is to move forward with enabling GrowthExperiments on a new wikipedia wiki and noting down all the manual changes that are necessary for that.

The last time that this was done was for T364130: Enable Growth mentorship at igl.wikipedia.org.

Acceptance criteria:

  • GrowthExperiments is enabled at one new Wikipedia wiki: Nigerian Pidgin Wikipedia (pcmwiki)
  • It is documented in this task what manual steps have been necessary at that wiki to make GrowthExperiments work there

Note:

  • This does not include Add a (Section-) Image tasks being available
  • In particular, the following should be available:
    • Homepage
    • Mentorship
    • template-based tasks
    • Community Updates
    • Welcome Survey
    • Impact Module
    • (ideally) Add a Link

@Michael and I discussed this task during our 1:1. I think this is a reasonable first step on this.

A list of wikis w/o GrowthExperiments:

Add Link models are available at https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/wmf-ml-models/addalink/v2/

After comparing this list to the list of wikis with Add a Link model availability, and also looking at Wiki Comparison data, I’m going to suggest Nigerian Pidgin Wikipedia (pcmwiki) due to the size rank, 3 monthly active admins, and >0 monthly new editors.

However, if we run into any blockers, we can also consider:

Gun Wikipedia (guwwiki)
Wayuu Wikipedia (gucwiki)
Farefare Wikipedia (gurwiki)
Pa'O Wikipedia (blkwiki)
Tyap Wikipedia (kcgwiki)
