Community Wishlist Survey 2023/New contributors/Reference requirement for new article creation/Proposal/en

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Most new users fail to create articles with higher probability of success because they don't understand how they can reference the information that is added to said article.
  • Proposed solution: That the system does not allow them to publish or move to the main space any article without at least one reference and that they always have a link that takes them to see a video about references, how to search for it and how to add it to the article in question.
  • Who would benefit: New users
  • More comments: This is a proposal for new users to learn more easily and thus have more success. Most enter once and leave because things get complicated for them. Certainly Wikipedia has all the teaching material, but they need it more in plain sight. I also think that every article should come from a registered user.
