Is there any hard data which suggests that this trial will decrease new editor retention by a measurable amount? I'm not sure why this is a default assumption. For instance, recent research seems to indicate that new editors whose edits get reverted and whose new articles get deleted are more likely to leave (see the August 8th Signpost). If we delay new article creation by a few days, is it not possible that the experience gained by becoming autoconfirmed might actually improve the editor's chances of creating an article which does not get deleted, thus actually improving editor retention? I'm not saying there's any hard evidence either way, but I don't think it's fair to say that restricting article creation to autoconfirmed editors will definitely reduce new editor retention. I'm willing to slow down and work through this to get it implemented. Max seems to indicate above in comment 26 that the change is trivial. Please let us know what else needs to be worked through, and what the road map is for working through it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
