Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Translation/Label "New Article" by default with transition to "Needs improvement"/Proposal/en

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Many translated articles are created as "stubs", and the editors creating them forgot to mark them to signal that work will still be carried out. This is problematic for the reviewing process: reviewers spend time on reviewing a version that is still in the works, and they may mark it for deletion.
  • Proposed solution: Mark translations automatically in a way that encourages a better coordination of the review process. That is, allowing translators to have time to improve their initial versions while helping reviewers to focus on those where translators had enough time to do so.
  • Who would benefit: The work of the patrolmen to check the new articles, which may still be being worked on, will be reduced. Editors who prematurely nominate articles for removal. A large number of articles for withdrawal do not appear in the database.
