Background
In the June 27 - July 1 sprint, Shawn and Jonathan presented a picture of new user participation in a set of large, popular wikiprojects. We discovered that the overall frequency with which new users joined these projects was lower than we expected overall (on the order of <10 newbies joining each project every year, in recent years). However, we also discovered that over time there seemed to be a slight increasein the proportion of joiners to these projects who were newbies.
Overview: Current Research
We decided we wanted to get a better sense of new user participation in Wikiprojects, as well as overall Wikiproject activity. We have created a set of database tables that list various activity metrics for WikiProjects (e.g. # pf joiners, pages claimed, and Wikiproject page activity). We use these tables to track how Wikiproject participation overall has changed over time. This may give researchers and community members a better sense of whether wikiprojects as a whole are still proving to b...
Motivation: Why study Wikiprojects?
Knowing Wikiprojects offer one of the best opportunities for new users to log facetime on the front lines with veterans, and learn from them. Learning about the small minority of newbies who participate in Wikiprojects early on in their careers will give us important insights into not only what kind of mentorship is happening in these projects, but also what kind of work newbies do in these Wikiprojects. If wikiprojects offer newbies a better way of learning while contributing in a meaningful...
Wikiproject Datasets: Activity, Membership and Scope
We created a set of MySQL database tables which can be used to evaluate Wikiprojects across a variety of features and factors. These tables will allow us to perform a variety of analyses, create compelling visualizations, and provide more robust sampling criteria for further qualitative analysis. We will also publish the queries and scripts used to compile these tables from the basic slave tables, so that they can be recompiled in future and potentially used to power WikiProject:Pulse or othe...
Interviews: Editor Experience and Design Requirements
We have conducted interviews with subject matter experts (esp. people currently involved in Wikiprojects as creators, admins and regular members) to get a better sense of the current status of Wikiprojects as communities and persistent collaborations on the English language Wikipedia. Our first interview (on July 27) was with Maggie Dennis--WMF Community Liaison and active member of Wikiproject Albums. (interview questions below). We subsequently interviewed 11 (as of August 30) other Wikipro...

Our new data tables allow us to analyze Wikiproject activities according to a variety of measures that were previously difficult to get at and/or combine. This lets us see which Wikiprojects are running full speed ahead, and which ones seem to have slowed or may be struggling to find new members, coordinate project activities or track their work. The lists below present data on the activities on the currently active Wikiprojects. Unless otherwise specified, all data are for the time period of...
Decline in Wikiproject membership
The decline in Wikiproject membership roughly matches the decline in Wikipedia membership as a whole, with a substantial decline between 2007 peak and mid-2009, and a more level (but still apparent) decline since then. The large spike in June 2009 seems to be due to an organic but transient increase in the number of Wikipedians joining Wikiprojects with Wikiproject Turkey (70 new members) and Wikiproject Songs (66 new members) leading the pack. The large spike in December 2010 was due to a la...
Interview Results, Part 1: Requirements for Wikiproject Pulse
Based on the results of 11 interviews with Wikiproject members, here are a set of requirements for the creation of an integrated tool that provides metrics about Wikiproject activity. Some of these recommendations may also be useful for considering other interface improvements that help editors create, maintain, and join Wikiprojects. Possible challenges of implementation, as well as some additional thoughts and considerations, are listed at the end. General Design Rationale 1. a tool for bot...
Here at summer's end, the future of this project is uncertain. We believe that WikiProjects are still important for Wikipedia in 2011. In fact, given that the community and the Foundation are currently seeking ways to a) draw in new productive contributors, and b) focus on quality over quantity, WikiProjects might be even more important now than ev...
Research from previous sprintsshows that new users don't have a lot of opportunities to interact positively with veteran Wikipedians. However, Wikiproject participants form close-knit groups of people at all levels of editorship who have shared interests, so they should provide ideal sites for this kind of interaction. This sprint follows up on pre...

A bright exception is the Research:Wikiproject Participation & Mentorship carried out last summer. The findings of this project suggest that newbies who join a WikiProject engage in generally positive interactions with other Wikipedians, and we have a number of other studies confirming that such engagement helps with editor retention.
