Description

In T302738, we making a proof-of-concept landing page containing a video. This task is for making the landing pages that will be used in production with the social media campaign, each of which will contain a video.

Type of requested assets: Video and text
Format of assets: WebM (or another acceptable Commons file format) and text
How will the assets be delivered: Commons and Google Docs
List of landing pages needed: 2. One is a copy of the current page, meant to be a control. The other will have custom content, including a video that we'll provide. Here are the desired URL parameters:

  • Treatment: campaign=social-latam-2022-A
  • Control: campaign=social-latam-2022-B

Campaign date: Week of 18 April
Deadline date for providing assets (we will need at least a couple of weeks for testing and making changes): Week of 4 April
Name of final approver of the campaign materials: @EdErhart-WMF
In what language will the copy be written? Spanish, with English copy for testing as needed - English text will be finalized 18 March
Include standard data disclaimer? Yes.

  • English: "By creating your account on this page, it will be associated with this campaign for experience and analysis purposes."
  • Spanish: "Al crear tu cuenta en esta página, será asociada a esta campaña con fines relacionados con la experiencia y el análisis."

The finalized text for the landing page ON DESKTOP is:

Personas como tú son las que construyen Wikipedia.

280.000 editores y editoras se presentan cada mes como voluntarios — ¿Te unes a ellos?

Sabemos que hacer tu primera edición suele ser intimidante, pero en realidad es bastante fácil. Pregúntaselo a nuestros dedicados editores y editoras, quienes te lo cuentan en este video:

The finalized text for the landing page ON MOBILE is:

Miles de personas como tú son las que construyen Wikipedia. ¿Te unes a ellas?

Este es un mensaje de nuestros editores y editoras para ti:

(note that this should all be in the "paragraph" format, i.e. the first line is not a bold header)

Will the copy need to be translated by volunteers? If yes, to what languages? No, we are handling the translations ourselves to avoid overburdening volunteer translators.

Other specifications

  • Both the treatment and control landing pages should have ge-enabled=1, so that all the accounts coming through them get the Growth features.
  • Unlike previous landing pages we have made for campaigns, this landing page should bring people to the welcome survey, as opposed to going directly to the newcomer homepage. That's because we are simultaneously running the welcome email campaign, and we want the users from the social media campaign to also be able to sign up for welcome emails.

They will go live on Thursday with the train deploy.

Beta eswiki apparently has account creation disabled, so I'll need to set up the campaign on some other beta wiki.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] GrowthExperiments: Do not use 'facebook' in campaign pattern

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/785245

@Tgr -- I updated the task description:

  • Changing the URL parameters from being like facebook-latam-2022-A to be like social-latam-2022-A. This is to prevent anyone from mistaking that "facebook" in the URL means that their login data is being transferred to Facebook in any way. Their login data will not be transferred to Facebook.
  • Added that the page should include our data disclaimer, which is still being finalized.

Another layout option for the disclaimer:

dev.wiki.local.wmftest.net_22100_w_index.php_title=Special_CreateAccount&campaign=facebook-latam-2022-A&geNewLandingHtml=1&geEnabled=1&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile(Pixel 5).png (3×1 px, 772 KB)

@Ladsgroup enabled VideoJS on eswiki (thanks!), that should fix the video issues on mobile. If it needs to be disabled for some reason, we can enable it for the signup page only via CommonSettings.php; that would probably take the form of an URL-based title check against Special:CreateAccount, similar to this code block.

Checked in eswiki production (and in beta cluster) - works as expected now.

We don't export the growthexperiments-campaign user property to the client-side, so you need to look in the database to see if the property is there. I verified experiment/control on eswiki beta just now:

>>> $userOptionsLookup = MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getUserOptionsLookup();
>>> $userOptionsLookup->getOption( User::newFromName( 'SocialLatam2' ), 'growthexperiments-campaign' );
=> "social-latam-2022-A"
>>> $userOptionsLookup->getOption( User::newFromName( 'SocialLatam' ), 'growthexperiments-campaign' );
=> "social-latam-2022-B"
  • neither of five new accounts gets campaign=social-latam-2022-B

As Kosta says some preferences were made server-side-only in T251994: Add hook that allows extensions to prevent preferences from getting exported to client-side. Sorry, I should have warned about that. You can still check with

new mw.Api().get( { action: 'query', meta: 'userinfo', uiprop: 'options' } ).then( data => console.log( data.query.userinfo.options['growthexperiments-campaign'] ) )
  • the landing page displays
TypeError: mw.uls.getBrowserLanguage is not a function
    at getSuggestedTargetLanguage 
    at load.php
    at entrypoints/ext.cx.uls.quick.actions.js

I can't see that being related to the campaign specifically, but it could be related to the welcome survey which makes use of ULS for language selection. Filed as T308557: mw.uls.getBrowserLanguage is not a function.

eswiki betalabs Especial:NewcomerTasksInfo shows 279 tasks that do not belong to any topics

That's just lack of setup on Beta. Added it to T307512: Add Growth tasks for beta eswiki.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/791640 - is not merged yet, is it a blocker?

I don't think so. We had several GLAM campaigns without the footer, one more week shouldn't matter much.

Thx, @kostajh and @Tgr! It seems that I misunderstood how users would be assigned to the control group. The users have to be created with &campaign=social-latam-2022-B.

new mw.Api().get( { action: 'query', meta: 'userinfo', uiprop: 'options' } ).then( data => console.log( data.query.userinfo.options['growthexperiments-campaign'] ) )

I was checking in betalabs db with

(eswiki)> select up_user, user_name,  up_value from user_properties join user on up_user=user_id  where up_value like 'social-latam-2022%';

Right now there are some users assigned to the control group:

---------+--------------+---------------------+
| up_user | user_name    | up_value            |
+---------+--------------+---------------------+
|    3419 | ETlatam02    | social-latam-2022-A |

I assume that Special:CreateAccount should not be different for the control group? Right now the "mw-createacct-benefits-container" for Special:CreateAccount&campaign=social-latam-2022-B is displayed at the top of the page.

Yeah, that's a bug, Minerva hides the benefit block and we unhide it, but we should only do that when we use a custom signup template. @mewoph also noticed it a few days ago, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/GrowthExperiments/+/792697 will fix it.
