Project idea[edit]
GettingStarted creates an easy entrypoint for fixing articles with simple errors. To attract and motivate contributors, the GettingStarted toolbar, which currently lets users flip between articles tagged with 3 common cleanup templates, could be adapted to let users seek out articles needing cleanup or maintenance on certain subjects or in certain backlogs. A layer of instruction, learning, contribution tracking, role badges, and achievement milestones would be added to the toolbar for continued engagement from contributors as well as micro-contributions from less common demographics and editor backgrounds.
Project goals[edit]
The goal of this project is to expand upon easy entry points for editors, to motivate sustained cleanup and backlog maintenance efforts, and to provide a tool which WikiProject might use to focus work on articles needing cleanup within their respective categories.
