Welcome to the twenty-third newsletter from the Growth team!
The goal of the Growth team is to encourage newcomers to try editing for the first time, and encourage them to keep editing. We want to increase newcomers' motivation by showing them how impactful their edits are.
Newcomers have access to an impact module; you can find yours at Special:Impact. The revised impact module provides new editors with more context about their impact. It will display the number of edits, the number of thanks received, the last time they edited, the number of consecutive days they edited, and the number of views for the articles they edited.
This module will soon be available at our pilot wikis starting December 1. You can already test this new module at Beta Wikipedia. For safety reasons, do not use your regular account and password at Beta wiki. Create a new, specific account for this wiki, with a different password.
After the deployment of Structured tasks, we received feedback from various communities regarding how patrollers of recent changes were feeling overwhelmed by an increase in edits to check, and how some edits were poor quality or of poor relevance.
We made several improvements based on the feedback we received. Several points of improvement have already been addressed:
The Positive Reinforcement project will also address some of the concerns around encouraging newcomers to progress to higher value edits. The Growth team will soon work on strategies geared at " Leveling up" newcomers so they progress from easy to more difficult tasks.

Hi! Thank you so much for answering.
Yes I have read the article and realised that the field name I was trying to add is not recognised by the infobox. I guess there's nothing I could do about it. Thank you so much all the same. SworddrowS ( talk) 14:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Socialist Party (France).
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

Hi Trialpears. Wikipedia assigned you as my mentor, so sorry if this message is a bother -- I'm still getting my sea legs and learning the norms.
After editing a bunch of articles and taking a stab at some substantive changes on existing articles, I have just tried my hand at creating a new article, and submitted it for review. I gather it could takes months before anyone gets around to seeing it, so I was wondering if you (as my auto-assigned mentor!) could take a quick look and let me know if I seriously messed it up? I would just hate to wait three months only to find out I need to start over and wait another three months....
If you do have any time to give it a once-over, this is the new article I created here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Spring_Health -- ConsideringLobsters ( talk) 06:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
