Bugs & features
Check out the bitbucket repository and issue tracker.
Snuggle is a browser-based newcomer observation and support system. Snuggle is designed to allow Wikipedian mentors to observe the activities of recently registered editors and separate good newcomers (good-faith and productive) from the bad ones (bad-faith and vandals).
This tool was designed in response to recent research that shows that the decline in newcomer retention in Wikipedia[1][2] is the result of an increasingly negative environment for desirable newcomers[3][4] and that Wikipedia's current socialization systems don't work because mentors don't find newcomers when they most need help.[5][6] Snuggle is designed to help experienced Wikipedians identify desirable newcomers who are editing in good-faith and help them dodge Wikipedia's sharper corners.
How to install
You don't need to install anything. Just click on https://snuggle-en.wmflabs.org/ and get started.
User Interface
- Further information: http://tools.wmflabs.org/videotutorials/Snuggle/
Snuggle's user interface runs entirely within a browser window. A user browser provides a list of newcomers, with an interactive visualization of their activities over time (see Figure 3) and a summary of messages that have been posted on the newcomers' user talk pages. Using Snuggle, you can quickly review the activities of a list of recent newly registered user accounts and sort them into good-faith newcomers who should be supported and bad-faith newcomers who ought to be ignored or sent to WP:AIV. You can also perform some relevant actions that effect the wiki such as sending a message, posting an invitation to the WP:Teahouse or reporting the user to WP:AIV (see Figure 2).
A: Tabs allow access to lists of newcomers: unsorted, good-faith, ambiguous and bad-faith. See D.
B: Talk page summary. Header text is displayed with an icon describing the content. From the figure to the right:
- W = welcome template
- csd = Criteria for speedy deletion
- V1 = Vandalism warning (level 1)
- del = Article proposed for deletion
- = non-templated discussion
- = non-templated discussion
C: Newcomer metadata -- data and statistics about this user.
D: Categorization systems allows you to mark newcomers as "good-faith", "ambiguous" or "bad-faith".
E: Column of usernames.
F: Interactive plot of user contributions. See Figure 3.
G: Talk page icons. See B.
Development
Snuggle is 100% free, open-source software, the source code is available under the MIT license[7]. It's built on top of a python-based server back-end with an HTML/Javascript/CSS front-end. You can find the repository and issue tracker on bitbucket.
