Bug #: 29923
Summary: Install Q&A system at help.en.wikipedia.org
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I think there is a need for a user-generated help system like for instance
help.openstreetmap.org is. The rules of English Wikipedia are a big barier in
acquiring of new users and editors.
New users are not familiar with wiki interface and there is no "easy" place
where they could ask something (if they are not at least so tech savvy to leave
a note on a discussion page, usualy without a signature). Opening an easy
interface for help will be a big benefit for English Wikipedia.
Incorporate the Q&A system in SUL. Open source software should be used (OSQA,
Pligg etc.). The HELP site over at OpenStreetMap is a big success so far I
think.
