New draft(s)
- Hello, and thank you for editing Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that I undid your recent change, since it seemed to either be a test or simple mistake. Don't worry, it's great that you were bold and edited a page. If you'd like to experiment more with editing, the sandbox is a good place to try. Thank you!
- Congratulations – you just edited Wikipedia! I undid your test, but don't worry, you didn't do any harm. If you'd like to experiment more with editing, the sandbox is a good place to practice. If you ever have questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk. I hope you'll stick around and help us improve the quality of our articles.
Analysis
Outcomes we will want to measure include...
- Retention: how many editors edit after receiving the warning? 30 days after? 60 days after?
- Contact: how many editors (IP or registered) contact the bot or warning user? Is this contact constructive or not?
- Improvement: how many editors receive further warnings (from any user or bot) or are blocked?
- Registrations: how many IP editors go on to register accounts after being warned vs. those not given the warning? (Tentative, would require us to log extra data on our end. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC))
Other notes and comments
- Should/can we alter the bot to send different templates to IPs and registered editors?
