This recommendation proposes the idea of evaluating and making changes to our systems so that they better serve the needs of our stakeholders. These ideas are discussed in the ‘Create Cultural Change for Inclusive Communities’, ‘Promote Sustainability and Resilience’, ‘Provide for Safety and Security’, and ‘Coordinate Across Stakeholders’.

Was?
Wir müssen das Design unserer Plattformen kontinuierlich verbessern, um allen – unabhängig von Geschlecht, Kultur, technischem Hintergrund oder körperlichen und geistigen Fähigkeiten[1] – sowohl bei Rücksprachen als auch bei der Leistung von Beiträgen zum Wissen im Wikimedia-Netzwerk eine reibungslose, effektive und positive Erfahrung zu ermöglichen.

Die strategische Ausrichtung besagt auch, dass „alle, die unsere Vision teilen, sich uns anschließen können“. Daher müssen wir eine Wirklichkeit anstreben, in der Menschen auf keine Weise durch Hindernisse oder nicht angegangene Bedürfnissen von unserer Technologie und unseren Menschen zurückgehalten werden. Wir müssen Gemeinschaften ermutigen, an der Gestaltung der Projekte zu arbeiten, sodass sie die Bedürfnisse der Menschen erfüllen, die die Projekte zur Wissensaufnahme nutzen, sowie der Menschen, die noch nicht als Beitragende teilnehmen.

For knowledge consumers, focusing on improving the user experience for any Wikimedia platform is strategic when considering technological changes.[2] To focus on delivering engaging, free knowledge consumption experiences, it is necessary to embrace technological advancements.[3] With the increasing diversity of devices, interfaces, and interactions with all sorts of intelligent virtual assistants, we must pay attention to both the information of knowledge and how it is consumed.[4] For contributors, ensuring that everyone is included and has opportunities to learn and contribute is a matter of equity and knowledge integrity; the risk of exclusion has direct repercussions in shrinking the base of contributors and threatening the future sustainability, accuracy, and relevance of the Movement.[5]

Having a good user experience is part of the cultural change that we desire for this Movement and guarantees the community's participation and diversity.[6] Participation affects not only the quality of our work, but also the continuity of the project, which often relies on communities whose core editors — both in terms of number of edits and the functional role they occupy — are still the same ones as five to ten years ago.[7]

In the current Wikimedia structural reality, content is central with all the processes, tools, platforms, and even communication channels orbiting around it. Though this structure has been successful in achieving popularity and replication across communities, it has also become an obstacle for engaging with other knowledge communities.[8] Having a good user experience requires continually improving on multiple dimensions and taking a more people-centered approach in the way we operate.[9] For example, the first experiences newcomers have and their ability to access learning resources, mentors, or guidance to perform any task is especially crucial for fostering their retention and continued engagement.[10]

Ensuring a space free of conflict, or with mechanisms to mitigate conflict, is fundamental and benefits all contributors.[11] The specific solutions could range from hiring staffing dedicated to conflict resolution, to defining clear processes and follow-up practices, to training.[12] Toxic environments[13] can affect contributors based on their individual characteristics;[14] there should be clear understanding in the communities of the existence of toxicity as well as about how to both prevent it and address it if it arises.[15]

To improve the user experience in both the consultation and contribution to knowledge throughout the Wikimedia ecosystem, we recommend an approach based on several actions. Enhancing the user experience requires following a people-centered, iterative process of research and analysis, proposal and testing of changes, and dissemination of the results among all the stakeholders.

In Wikimedia, this involves both the designers, technical developers, and the communities, ultimately responsible for accepting or discarding the implementation of these changes. For this, communities must be aware of the current state of the situation and take responsibility for the platform, accepting and encouraging the changes which address the barriers and needs that prevent their growth, diversification, and participation throughout the world. To raise awareness, we must visualize the degree of satisfaction of every product and functionality in a transparent and findable way, so that they can be constantly monitored by any stakeholder, and receive suggestions for improvement or query the attention of the development teams.

In our Movement,[16] the research and analysis of the user experience requires observing the interactions within and outside our platforms to evaluate the impact of a diverse range of both technological and human aspects that affect it, such as the platform technological characteristics,[17] social conflicts,[18] lack of access to suitable learning resources,[19] among others. In addition, it must take into account a diverse range of advanced user roles requiring highly specialized workflows, technical contributors[20] (such as template maintainers or Cloud Services tool developers), as well as those of newcomers and emerging communities.

Any changes proposed must be tested to ensure usability and accessibility while safeguarding the privacy and security of users.[21] Feedback from newcomers is particularly valuable for evaluating best practices, as experienced contributors may have already developed workarounds for system limitations.[22] In general, having a wide pool of users who test technology will guarantee good usability, which is especially key for newcomers[23] and is essential to guarantee our growth and diversity.[24]

Based on current reported feedback and results, the user experience would improve by including, welcoming, and appreciating newcomers,[25] with easy-to-find and easy-to-access resources, active outreach, and support programs. Mentorship programs, in order to facilitate learning processes, have previously been effective.[26] For all users, transparency of the platform’s functionalities, availability of learning resources and training, and clear reporting channels to escalate access, human, or technological concerns with appropriate urgency (e.g., fix the platform for the visually impaired) are needed. Policies for conflict management must provide methods to deal with issues before, during, and after.[27]

The development of solutions to these identified needs and problems must be prioritized with urgency and receive constant attention by developers and designers to ensure the goal of including future communities. To advance the development of new interfaces and other more speculative features, following new technological trends and those on the horizon, we encourage the creation of a new communication space to continue developing the software in coordination with Third-party developers.[28]
