Can I test these features?</b> </p><p>Of course! If you do not have access to <code>Special:Homepage</code> locally, please <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Enable_the_Homepage" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Enable the Homepage">follow the instructions on how to turn it on</a>. </p><p><b>A newcomer is not following the instructions given. What can we do?</b> </p><p>Newcomers are provided onboarding, however, instructions are not always understood or followed. If a new editor is using newcomer tasks inappropriately, please contact them and provide guidance. Assume good intent, but if a new editor is clearly acting in bad faith, then the situation should be handled as is standard on your wiki. </p><p>If instructions are not followed on a regular basis, <a href="/wiki/Talk:Growth" title="Talk:Growth">let us know</a>. Please provide example links (diff) where the task instructions were not followed by several users. </p><p><b>Can we change the configuration of the task by ourselves?</b> </p><p>Communities can change how the Growth features work by editing <code>Special:EditGrowthConfig</code>. </p><p>We advise all communities make configuration changes after a community discussion. Please <a href="/wiki/Talk:Growth" title="Talk:Growth">inform us</a> of your discussions when they happen, because we can help you on the issue you found, or assist you with the configuration. It is also very useful for the Growth team to know about such discussions, so that we can continue to improve Growth features. Please <a href="/wiki/Talk:Growth" title="Talk:Growth">let us know</a>. </p><p><b>Can we change how articles are selected?</b> </p><p>Articles are selected based on maintenance templates. Communities can change how the Growth features work by editing <code>Special:EditGrowthConfig</code>. </p><p>However, articles provided as "Machine suggestions" are based on an algorithm. The configuration of this algorithm can't be changed by communities. Please <a href="/wiki/Talk:Growth" title="Talk:Growth">let us know</a> if you noticed a problem with these suggested articles. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Further_reading" data-mw-thread-id="h-Further_reading"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Further_reading"></span>Further reading<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Further_reading"></span></h2></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth" title="Special:MyLanguage/Growth">Growth main project page</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Suggested_edits" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Suggested edits">Suggested Edits tools</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Newsletters" title="Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Newsletters">Keep yourself updated about improvements</a></li></ul>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Growth/Tools/Newcomer_Tasks&oldid=6733998">https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Growth/Tools/Newcomer_Tasks&oldid=6733998</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 1 September 2024, at 01:14.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>; additional terms may apply.
