--- Comment #27 from Jared Zimmerman (WMF) <[email protected]> --- Thanks everyone for all the lively discussion here. The design and product teams did a lot of thinking about the onboarding experience when it comes to the new login behavior, so the behavior you're seeing on en.wiki is purposeful, I'm glad we were able to get it implemented, that said sometimes you can only find problems like the ones above once something is in the real world with large numbers of people using it. My recommendations follow for how to proceed. New user registration: Configure welcome echo notification in order to welcome user, and confirm the account was created successfully so that they aren't confused and try to create accounts again. REQUIRES: echo on more sites, translated echo notifications for new sites For normal login, users should continue to have the current behavior of being redirected to the page the login action was started from. Post account creation: We have a Guided New users experience that the Growth team has created, it represents the first time experience we would like all users to see upon becoming part of the community, in addition to the welcome echo notification new users should be sent to the Guided experience. One additional note is that the echo notification could have a link to go back to the guided experience so if the users leaves it or just wants to try it again they have an additional access point. REQUIRES: guided new user experience on more wikis Stopgap measure for wikis who do not have Guided Exp, and Echo implemented: Until wikis can integrate echo and the guided exp for new users, I would recommend that they have a minimal but *actionable* New user welcome page. If we can identify a best in class example from a wiki who has one already it might be a good pattern to copy. However I recommend less effort be spent creating this temporary welcome page, rather, focus efforts on getting echo and getting started implemented, as that represents the desired user experience for new users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
