Help decide the future of Wikimania

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).

After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.

In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

With thanks,

Towards a New Wikimania results

Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania. We have completed analysis of these results and have prepared this report summarizing your feedback and important changes for Wikimania starting in 2018 as an experiment. Feedback and comments are welcome at the discussion page. Thank you so much for your participation. I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, 22:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

New user retention metrics

Hi! In 2021 you were a co-author of presentation on Wikipedia Growth and Renewal. This presentation included (among other metrics) a comparison of new user retention rate on some CEE Wikipedias (slide 13).

Recently, I've tried to replicate your data and extend the graph of new users retention rate beyond 2021. I described my approach (based on WMF definitions of new editor and surviving new editor) in a Google doc, but it resulted in a completely different graph than yours (weaker tendency, higher numbers for the recent years).

Can you perhaps remember how you gathered your data? Disagreement between our result puzzles me and I'm wondering what's the cause for that. Regards, Msz2001 (talk) 09:24, 5 April 2025 (UTC) (PS. I've sent this message to all the three authors of the presentation).
