This is a list of account creation campaigns that are currently being tested on the English Wikipedia in the context of editor engagement experiments. Account creations are logged by passing a campaign=foo parameter to the account creation landing page.

List of campaigns

edit

Since campaigns can be run by anyone, (all they have to do is add a query string to the URL), this list is not comprehensive. However, we are attempting to keep a log of relevant Wikimedia campaigns as best we can. In general, when surveying campaign data, analysts should always be sure to limit the scope of their query to a known timeframe for a given campaign.
