Research:Recognition on the wikis
This page documents a planned research project.
Information may be incomplete and change before the project starts.
The Connection Team is hoping to establish an understanding of the status quo for how junior and experienced editors interact with and perceive recognition on the wikis to identify opportunities and gaps in this space.
Additionally, the team hopes to determine how junior and experienced editors may perceive potential feature improvements to the recognition experience on the wikis to better predict community adoption and/or concerns.
