Resources for Newcomers
Improving the User Experience of the Wikimedia platform involves making it more friendly for newcomers by providing them with better resources. Newcomers often struggle with understanding the Wikimedia interface and learning how to use it, which may be a significant barrier towards attracting new users. Resources for those newcomers should be made easy to find and navigable despite the vast amount of pages across Wikimedia Projects. Resources should also be made available in simple language that is easy to understand and translate.
Easy-to-find and easy-to-understand resources for newcomers, including onboarding media and guiding interfaces helping them independently learn and navigate.
