WikiLearn
Gamifying editor's onboarding experience
The problem WikiLearn solves
While anyone can contribute to Wikipedia, there are certain rules and guidelines. Often newcomers get overwhelmed, and as a result they either drop off and in worst cases, may get blocked from being able to edit if they continuously violate the policies. It is often not because they want to cause damage, but it is known that it is hard to navigate the whole space and getting started. There are hundreds of policy pages, guidelines and even videos, but it can be overwhelming again. And most times, to get started they only need to know the basics. So the goal is to gamify the experience of onboarding Wikipedia editors, so that they learn how to contribute to Wikipedia in a fun and friendly way. By the end of the game, a new editor should be able to have reasonable confidence that they can continue to contribute.
