Hello,

This is Amal Ramadan, the Sr. Community Relations Specialist supporting the
Wikipedia mobile apps team.

Our Android team is working on Image Recommendations
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Image_Recommendations>
that
will enhance accessibility and user engagement within the Wikimedia mobile
apps; our engineers are adding a new lint error type, which is planned to
match images without alt text and are expected to trigger on a large number
of pages.

It is planned to use this lint category to feed both existing linter-based
correction workflows and a "microtask" workflow in the Wikipedia mobile
app, where small work tasks can be presented to users in a relevant context.

We want to make sure this won’t be disruptive to existing linter system
users and that updates to support the new lint type can be coordinated.

Our current technical evaluation doesn't expect performance problems from
this, but if it's overloading people's workflows, we want to be sure to
accommodate those needs.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work towards
enhancing the Wikipedia mobile app experience.
You can reach out to us with your feedback if there's any at
arama...@wikimedia.org

Respectfully,
*Amal Ramadan* (She\Her)
Sr. Community Relations Specialist
