32:00 <arrbee> #link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Editor_Experiences

37:54 <Aguyintobooks> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Editor_Experiences does this apply to small Wikipedias as well?

40:47 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: The research was done with two medium sized wikis for now.

41:17 <arrbee> Czech and Korean

41:29 <Aguyintobooks> I see

42:04 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: You can ping AbbeyRipstra or neilpquinn for more information.

42:33 <Aguyintobooks> Is there an equivalent research program, or one that is planned or completed, for the smaller size wikipedias?

42:42 <arrbee> The research document (on that page) is pretty extensive too

43:20 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: I don't think so. But Abbey and Neil would know more. Did you have any particular language/wiki in mind?

45:28 <Aguyintobooks> yes my local one: https://kw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folen_dre

47:02 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: ahh ok. But sorry, we don't know for sure.

48:50 <Aguyintobooks> Ok, well thanks anyway

49:55 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: in case you are interested there was an earlier research for readers that had more variety in terms of the wikis that were covered

50:02 <arrbee> #link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers/Findings

50:14 <arrbee> Aguyintobooks: ^^

50:25 <Aguyintobooks> I will check it out

54:07 <Aguyintobooks> I am mainly asking after noticing the disparity between the different Wikipedia. For example, I live in Launceston, which is in Cornwall, the Cornish language being that of the kw-wiki.

54:22 <mojaam> Hi, can I read the research done on Nigeria?

55:06 <Aguyintobooks> its en-wiki page is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launceston,_Cornwall. the corresponding kw-wiki page is a stub: https://kw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lannstefan.

57:58 <kart_> mojaam: AbbeyRipstra can help in that.

58:27 <mojaam> @kart_ thanks, I've checked the logs and found it.
