The numbers

The main recommendations landing page on Meta in English was viewed close to 8,000 times between January 20th - February 23rd, 2020; and more than 15,500 times when combined with the talk page. Highest page views were by far in English. Other languages after English were German (1,100 page views), French (904), Spanish (403), and Arabic (186). For the top 10 movement strategy talk pages on Meta in English, including the main landing page, more than 120 unique usernames contributed to the discussions with 1,200+ edits. Of those engaged on Meta in English, their median number of edits was over 20,000, and the average account age was 6.7 years.

General feelings

edit

Most of the feedback by online communities was related to the language (specialist terms and lack of translation to local languages discouraged from diving into the document) and implementation phase (the uncertainty on how the proposed ideas would actually be executed made it more difficult to make a strong position).

Areas of support, opposition or concern

edit

English Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons contributors didn’t oppose or support any particular area.

One user asked a question if some collocations might be fad phrases.

Suggestions for improvement

edit

A few users noted that the language is a barrier to their involvement.
