Growth team updates #1

[edit]

Welcome to the first newsletter for the new Growth team!  

The Growth Team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects. We will be starting with Wikipedias, but we hope these changes will benefit every community.

8 ideas we consider: tell us what you think about them!

We are considering new features to build, that could retain new editors in mid-size Wikipedias. We will be testing new ideas in Czech and Korean Wikipedias, and then we'll talk to more communities (yours!) about adopting the ideas that work well.

We have posted the 8 ideas we are considering. We would really appreciate your thoughts and the thoughts from your community. Please share the ideas, and tell us what do you and your community think of those ideas before September 9.

Share your experiences with newcomers

We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wiki. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work. Please post on the team’s talk page, in any language!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the first project we'll work on.

District -> Assembly moves

[edit]

Hello, I'm noticing you moved quite a few Ghana districts from a title that has "District" to titles that have "Assembly" in them, but you did so without sources. In the several pages I checked, I notices that all the sources had "District" in the title and were not classified as assemblies. Any thoughts on that? It seems like these should probably be reverted. Districts of Ghana also lists all of these as districts or municipal districts. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Ghana Municipal Assemblies and District Assemblies we don't have Municipal districts in any official government sources. You can check this website of the Central Regional Coordinating council for the right source [1]. Owula kpakpo (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm understanding this correctly, the link you gave is for entries within found within Category:Districts of the Central Region (Ghana). Is there a relevant list for entries in Category:Districts of Greater Accra Region, which seem to be the focus on your recent moves? Hey man im josh (talk) 17:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I'm finding some relevant entries from the ministry of finance. Was just hard to find them all in one place. Feels weird to call areas an assembly instead of a district, but it does appear to be correct. Interesting and certainly not in line with what I'd expect, but alright then. Guess I'll mark the redirects left behind from pages moves as reviewed. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know who made those entries but as a Ghanaian we don't refer to Municipalities as districts because there is a population threshold to be a district and most of the place do pass that. I intend to change all this entries you have tagged which will reflect correctly the right naming conditions. Owula kpakpo (talk) 17:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It might make sense to share this issue at WP:Ghana, and perhaps more folks in the know can contribute to resolving the issue. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:40, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
