Croissance/Focus sur le Centre d’assistance

From mediawiki.org
This page is a translated version of the page Growth/Focus on help desk and the translation is 81% complete.

Cette page présente le travail de l’équipe Croissance sur le projet « Focus sur le Centre d’assistance », et présente ses objectifs, plans et décisions principaux. La plupart des nouveautés et actualités sur la progression du projet seront publiées sur la page générale des actualités de l’équipe Croissance, les plus importantes seront publiées ici.

Tout le monde peut tester le vrai panneau en allant sur Test Wikipedia en créant un compte, en activant le panneau d’aide dans leur page de préférences Preferences/Edit page et en cliquant sur "Edit" sur n’importe quelle page.

À compter de septembre 2019, nous avons terminé l’analyse des expérimentations qui montrent que le panneau d’aide n’avait pas d’impact sur l’activation ou la rétention des nouveaux. Ainsi, nous n’allons pas poursuivre le développement de cette fonctionnalité mais plutot nous focaliser sur la prometteuse page d’accueil des nouveaux et les taches des nouveaux. Consultez les détails des expérimentations ici.

État actuel

  • 2019-09-30: expérimentation du panneau d’aide terminée et premiers résultats publiés.
  • 2019-07-22: panneau d’aide déployé dans la Wikipédia arabe dans un test A/B, avec la fonctionnalité non disponible pour la moitié des nouveaux.
  • 2019-03-26: publication du rapport initial sur les indicateurs .
  • 2019-03-04: panneau visible en mode lecture dans les espaces de nom Aide, Discussion aide, Wikipédia, Discussion Wikipédia, Utilisateur et Discussion utilisateur.
  • 2019-02-28: panneau d’aide déployé dans la Wikipédia vietnamienne dans un test A/B, avec la fonctionnalité non disponible pour la moitié des nouveaux.
  • 2019-02-14: fonctionnalité de recherche déployée dans les groupes expérimentaux dans les Wikipédias tchèque et coréenne.
  • 2019-01-11: panneau d’aide déployé dans les Wikipédias tchèque et coréenne dans un test A/B, avec la fonctionnalité non disponible pour la moitié des nouveaux. Pour consulter les questions issues des Centres d’assistance de ces wikis, consultez les Centres respectifs :
  • À suivre : nous travaillons sur des fonctionnalités additionnelles pour encourager les utilisateurs à poser des questions, à améliorer leurs résultats de recherche et à augmenter les chances qu’ils lisent les réponses à leurs questions sur le Centre d’assistance.

Résultats des expérimentations (septembre 2019)

  • Le panneau d’aide a été déployé auprès des nouveaux pour la première fois en janvier 2019. Nous avons terminé l’analyse des données pour déterminer leur impact. Ceci est un bref résumé, une analyse plus détaillée est prévue.
  • En résumé, le panneau d’aide n’a pas montré une augmentation de l’activation (le fait qu’un utilisateur fasse une première modification) ou la rétention (le fait qu’un utilisateur revienne modifier des pages). Malgré ces résultats décevants, notre équipe continue de tester d’autres fonctionnalités prometteuses.
  • Le panneau d’aide provoque malgré tout un léger changement dans le volume de modifications (nombre de modifications effectuées) mais les résultats sont mitigés. Le panneau augmente le nombre de modifications sur la première journée du nouvel arrivant mais les diminue sur les deux semaines qui suivent.
  • De manière générale, nous ne savons pas à l’heure actuelle pourquoi le panneau d’aide engendre ces résultats et nous envisageons plusieurs hypothèse auxquelles nous allons continuer de réfléchir. Par exemple, malgré notre espoir que le panneau d’aide encourage les nouveaux à effectuer leur première modification en leur donnant des informations sur la manière de s’y prendre, il est possible que cela en décourage certains du fait que le panneau leur montre une documentation complexe qui peut paraitre ennuyante ou faire peur.
  • Même si l’augmentation de l’activation et de la rétention sont les buts ultimes de notre équipe, nous observons aussi qu’une large part des nouveaux ouvrent le panneau d’aide (20 %) et intéragissent avec (50 %). Cela nous montre qu’il existe une demande pour le type d’aide qu’offre le panneau d’aide.
  • Pris ensemble, ces résultats sont décevants – nous espérions que le panneau d’aide aurais un impact positif sur les métriques. Malgré nos nombreuses idées sur la manière de l’améliorer, nous avons décidé de ne pas poursuivre le développement de cette fonctionnalité mais plutot de nous concentrer sur la page d’accueil et les taches des nouveaux arrivants. Ces projets donnent de premiers résultats encourageants et atteignent beaucoup plus de nouveaux que le panneau d’aide. Ce dernier sera aussi utilisé dans le projet des taches pour les nouveaux et va rester dans l’expérience des nouveaux arrivants que l’équipe Croissance est en train de construire. Nous le revisiterons peut-être dans le futur.

Résumé

Il est courant pour les nouveaux contributeurs de faire face à des problèmes techniques, conceptuels ou culturels lorsqu’ils débutent. Ils ont des questions spécifiques et pourraient bénéficier de l’aide d’un contributeur humain pour répondre à leurs questions. La plupart des wikis ont un forum d’entraide où les nouveaux contributeurs peuvent poser leurs questions. Ce type de fonctionnalités a prouvé son efficacité, tout particulièrement la Teahouse de la Wikipédia anglophone (cf. ce document pour une analyse de l’efficacité). Le problème est que les nouveaux n’ont pas connaissance de l’existence du forum d’entraide ou ne savent pas comment y accéder — malgré le fait qu’ils reçoivent souvent le « modèle de bienvenue » sur leur discussion utilisateur avec les liens.

Nous avons deux hypothèses :

  • Les nouveaux sont plus aptes à chercher de l’aide lorsqu’il existe un moyen facile de poser des questions.
  • Les nouveaux sont plus aptes à contribuer lorsqu’ils savent où chercher de l’aide.

C’est pourquoi le projet « Focus sur le Centre d’assistance » contient deux parties :

  1. Inviter les nouveaux contributeurs sur le forum d’entraide. Nous avions quatre idées sur la manière de les y inviter : en postant un message sur leur page de discussion, en utilisant des bandeaux, par mail ou en ajoutant un lien en mode édition. Nous avons décidé de les y inviter en ajoutant un lien clair et bien visible vers celui-ci dans le mode édition, que nous appelons le « panneau d’aide ». Ceci pour les raisons suivantes :
    • Nous savons que, d’après les recherches sur les expériences des nouveaux contributeurs (New Editor Experiences), obtenir de l’aide « contextuelle » est important. Ceci pourrait être de fournir un lien vers une page d’aide au moment où l’utilisateur en a besoin et à un endroit qui ne possède pas de manière claire d’obtenir de l’aide.
    • Nous avons des questions ouvertes à propos de l'idée de "chat ou questions en contexte", et ceci va nous aider à comprendre s'il y a besoin d'une fonctionnalité de ce type.
  2. Une fois que nous avons réussi à amener les nouveaux contributeurs sur le forum d’entraide, entreprendre de l’améliorer à son tour. Ceci pourrait inclure une liste des nouvelles questions en haut de page ou notifier les nouveaux contributeurs lorsque leurs questions ont obtenu des réponses.

L’équipe Croissance a mis en place la Partie 1 (panneau d’aide) durant 2018 Q2 (octobre 2018 - décembre 2018) et l’a déployé dans les Wikipédias tchèque et coréenne le 11 janvier 2019 lors d’un test A/B controlé. Cette expérimentation sera terminée en juillet 2019. Au fur et à mesure que les résultats arriveront, nous pourrons ajouter des capacités supplémentaires à la fonctionnalité, la déployer sur d’autres wikis ou décider de débuter la Partie 2 (améliorer le forum d’entraide).

Revue comparative

Le concepteur de notre équipe a examiné la façon dont d'autres plateformes (par exemple SurveyMonkey, American Express, Codecademy) offrent de l'aide contextuelle à leurs utilisateurs (voir tâche T206713 pour plus de détails). Nous pensons qu'il y a de bonnes pratiques que nous pouvons apprendre d'autres logiciels, surtout quand nous voyons les mêmes schémas sur de nombreux types de logiciels différents. Même si nous incorporons des idées d'autres logiciels, nous nous assurerons toujours de préserver les valeurs uniques d'ouverture, de clarté et de transparence de Wikipédia. Les comparaisons sont présentées dans ce tableau de bord et les principaux éléments sont :

Aide contextuelle des IHM

  • l'aide contextuelle est habituellement représentée par un bouton fixe ou un onglet en bas à droite de l'écran
  • en cliquant sur l'aide, vous ouvrez habituellement un panneau fixe d'avant plan dans l'interface graphique proposant une ou plusieurs fonctions d'aide
  • les utilisateurs peuvent en général rechercher et visualiser les sujets d'aide immédiate via le panneau d'aide contextuel
  • l'aide contextuelle contient également des liens vers les forums dédiés ou les centres d'aide de premier niveau
  • l'aide Générale ou globale du site sous forme de navigation primaire est habituellement une option possible permettant l'accès aux discussions et aux commentaires à l'intérieur même de l'IHM
  • les indicateurs de confidentialité et de sécurité sont aussi affichés souvent dans l'IHM développée de l'aide
  • typiquement les versions pour mobile (sous forme d'application ou web) n'ont pas d'aide contextuelle intégrée mais celle-ci est accessible via un élément de navigation primaire qui s'ouvre séparément.

Types d'aide contextuelle proposée

  • Lien vers un Centre d’assistance
  • liste des articles de la FAQ mis en avant pour ce contexte particulier
  • Discussions en direct
  • Vidéo / Tutoriels
  • Liens de visite guidée
  • Historique des demandes d'aide précédentes
  • Forums communautaires - utilisés à certains endroits où l'attente d'une réponse rapide et le niveau de service sont moins exigés.
  • “Report a bug” - for users to send feedback about unexpected behaviors/bugs, often with the option to include a screenshot of the UI. Implicit expectation is the user should not to expect a response.

Features of Chat/Q&A in help

  • Users are able to email questions using the chat panel when there is no “Live” agent is available
  • Users are given feedback on response time windows and where they can expect answers
  • Voice and tone of chat are friendly and personable, sometimes with emoji and gif options in chat.
  • Users likely expect a level of service, as chat is typically provided by paid customer service reps.
  • Privacy links and information about how chat history is managed are clearly shown
  • Frequently asked questions/topics common for the particular context are often presented in the same UI as an less engagement-heavy help alternative for users
  • Automated answers / “Answer bots” are sometimes offered first to try to resolve the issue before users are given the option to post their question

Revue de fonctionnalités MediaWiki similaires

As we discussed ideas for the help panel, several WMF staff reminded us that two similar-sounding features had been worked on in the past: MoodBar and Article Feedback. Those features (though no longer in use) both gave users an in-context tool for providing information, and so we think we can incorporate learnings from them. The details of this work are on tâche T206714, and the main takeaways are:

Screenshot of Article Feedback Tool

Outil pour les commentaires d'articles

  • Potential for account creation and editor activation - anonymous users who start an edit may be prompted to create an account when asking for help so that they can get feedback from the “Help team”.
  • Provide more upfront help options prior to allowing submission of free-text comments and questions - Per findings from the Article Feedback Tool, making it too easy to submit unstructured and out-of-context comments about articles leads to a high degree of noise for moderators. Whilst our hypothesis is that users who are in the editing context and seeking help for a specific task may be less likely to submit un-useful questions, providing more self-directed help alternatives upfront may further reduce volume.
  • Mechanisms to provide context to comments – The lack of context to comments in AFT was a main point of dissatisfaction for editors. For in-context help, it would be ideal if users submitting a question or comment would be able to denote where in the article or UI they would like assistance – for example being able to submit a screenshot along with their question, or being able to highlight the section related to their comment.
  • Making interactions into actual edits - This tool created a separate queue of work for experienced editors to deal with, that they couldn't manage through their Watchlists or RecentChanges, and current curate with existing processes for removing damaging content. It is important that any additional traffic we create can be managed through existing systems, which is done most easily if interactions with our feature are done as posts on wiki pages.
Screenshot of MoodBar

MoodBar

  • Capturing email for responses is an effective option – As shown in the MoodBar experiment, email notifications is an effective means of engaging new editors.
  • Clear, prominent call to action for new editors to ask for feedback/help - per high level findings, the addition of a tooltip drawing attention to the MoodBar significantly increased its use.
  • Tracking the perceived helpfulness of responses is important - It would be useful for us to track similar new user perceptions of feedback, since a poor experience from receiving unhelpful advice has been shown to negatively impact editing.

Design for help panel

Our evolving designs can always be found in this interactive prototype. These clickable mockups also contain other design ideas for future iterations of the help panel, although some elements in those mockups may be obsolete. To see the latest version of the help panel, edit a page in Beta or Test wiki after having turned the help panel on in your preferences.

The "Comparative review" and "Review of similar MediaWiki features" were critical in the design process because they helped us "dream big" to explore the space of what the help panel could eventually become. Our team mocked up and discussed many ideas that probably will not become part of the help panel unless we see that earlier, simpler versions are successful. First, we are going to work on an initial version of the help panel to be deployed in January 2019.

Initial version

In the initial version of the help panel, we want to answer these questions:

  • Will newcomers click on a clear option to get help during the editing experience?
  • Do newcomers seem more interested in reading content to answer their own questions, or in asking a question for others to answer?
  • Will newcomers take action to write and post a question to the help desk?
  • Will the presence of the help panel increase new editor retention?

Therefore, we have decided to include these elements in the initial version, detailed in T206717 and T209318:

  • A call to action in the editing context.
  • A panel that opens containing links to helpful existing pages.
  • The ability to ask a question from that panel, and for that question to be automatically posted to the wiki's help desk.
  • The ability to add an email address to their account if the user does not already have one, and to modify their email address if it is not yet confirmed (and then to receive a confirmation email upon submitting).
  • The ability to turn off the help panel by clicking through to Preferences.

The mockups below show initial designs for that functionality as of November 2018 (to see the most up-to-date designs, use this interactive prototype). Right now, we will show this only to newcomers (meaning new account holders who are not auto-created). We also know that the wording in the feature is very important here, because it is critical that newcomers understand where and how information they write will be posted, and when and where they can except a reply. These mockups only contain some initial drafting of the wording, and we'll continue to refine it. We are hoping for strong ideas from community members, so please post any ideas on the talk page.

Business rules for initial version

Below are the current rules we're using to determine who receives the help panel and how it works. These may change as our team and the community continues to discuss and learn from the feature.

  • Users: the help panel will be a feature that can be turned on and off in user preferences. When it is deployed in January, it will be turned on to only newly created accounts (not auto-created) from the deployment date forward (except for a control group that will not have the feature). All other users whose accounts were created before the deployment date will have the feature turned off, but will be able to go to their preferences to turn it on if they wish to try it out. We will also be embedding an option to turn the help panel off inside the feature. Our team discussed the possibility of turning the help panel on for all users, but wanted to first learn about how new users interact with it, and we want to make sure not to flood help desks with incoming questions. See this Phabricator task for the discussion.
  • Namespaces: the help panel will be available in all namespaces. Our team discussed limiting the feature to only the main article namespace because the help documentation linked in the panel is mostly relevant to that namespace. Ultimately, we decided to make it available in all namespaces so that we can learn in which namespaces people are most commonly looking for help -- we know that new editors struggle to edit the Talk namespace. We will also encourage communities to develop documentation relevant to editing other namespaces (particularly the Talk namespace) so that we can make those links available in the appropriate namespaces. See this Phabricator task for the discussion.
  • Headers: the help panel will automatically post users' questions to their wiki's help desk, and will automatically generate a header for that post. We have decided that the header will include the title of the page from which the question originates (with a link), as well as a timestamp to distinguish it from questions that may have originated from that some page. Users will be able to decline to include the title in their header, if they consider it sensitive. See this Phabricator task for the discussion. Our preference is to number the posts instead of including a long and redundant timestamp, but that will require additional engineering work for a future version.

Wording for initial version

The wording for the help panel is complete, and the current state can be seen in the interactive mockups. Some of the most important things we have been considering in the wording are:

  • How to make it clear that by asking a question in the help panel, users will be posting in public?
  • How to encourage users to add their email address, since that is the best way for them to find out when they get a response to their question?
  • How to give users the option of excluding the title of the page they're editing from the automatically-generated header in the help desk, if they want to keep that private?
  • How to correctly set expectations about how quickly a user can expect a help desk response?
  • What to include in the automatically-generated header in the help desk?

Future versions

In determining the initial version of the help panel, many ideas for features were set aside to be evaluated later on. Many of them are visible in the initial mockups here. The following is a list of capabilities that are either being built for the help panel, or may be built in the future:

  • Nearer term
    • Yes - Search: the ability to search help pages. Users found this option appealing during testing, and it was built in T209301 and deployed on 2019-02-14.
      Wikipedia help panel feature in Korean Wikipedia, with the "search" functionality in use.
    • Yes - More contexts: since help desks have not yet been overwhelmed with incoming questions, we are thinking of exposing the help panel to newcomers in contexts beyond editing -- perhaps while they are viewing pages in the Help or Wikipedia namespaces. We thought of this because the EditorJourney analysis showed that large portions of newcomers viewed pages in those namespaces during their first 24 hours. Currently being built in T215664.
    • Greater affordance: so far, it looks like a minority of users who see the help panel button actually open it up. We could attempt to make it more visually obvious that it is a recommended place to start.
    • En cours - Vary links with context: the help panel contains five links to help pages, and about half of users that see them click on one. Different links are probably valuable in different contexts. For instance, there might be some links for visual editor and some for wikitext. Or some that are helpful on a talk page and some on an article page. This is being worked on in T211117.
  • Longer term
    • Live chat: allowing newcomers to immediately chat with experienced editors right from the help panel. This would be a major project with many challenges. See this page for our notes so far.
    • Suggested answers: many questions that users asked may have already been answered before, and we might be able to provide suggested answers as users type. This would be relevant once many more questions have been asked. Ticketed in T209327.
    • Feedback on responses: newcomers may find the responses to their questions more or less satisfactory. By allowing newcomers to rate their responses, we may increase higher quality responses, and make it possible to surface the best ones to future newcomers. Ticketed in T209332.
    • Marking question context: newcomers may have questions related to very specific elements of the editing experience. This idea would allow them to indicate exactly where on the page their issue is occurring. Ticketed in T209328.
    • Templated replies: research shows us that the tone of a reply to a newcomer can make a difference in whether they edit again. We may be able to help people answering questions to format their replies in a nurturing way. Ticketed in T209331.
    • Anonymous editors: though our team is focused on registered newcomers, it is possible to make the help panel present for anonymous editors, though it will be more difficult for them to find out that they have received a response. Ticketed in T209325.

User testing for help panel

During the week of November 26, 2018, we used usertesting.com to conduct eight tests of the help panel interactive prototype with internet users unaffiliated with the Wikimedia movement. Four tests were done on desktop and four were done on mobile. In these tests, respondents are compensated for trying out the mockups, speaking aloud on what they observe, and answering questions about the experience. As our team's designer described on the Phabricator task, the goals of this testing were:

  1. Gauge the discoverability of the help pane call to action and help pane
  2. Identify improvements to the usability of the help pane:
    • Do users understand they can edit and use help links at the same time?
    • Are users able to successfully follow the steps to post a question?
    • Is there anything users that would like to be able to do from the help pane that they are missing?
  3. Gauge user reactions to the help pane and expectations of how their questions will be answered.

Summary of findings

  • All users found the help panel contents to be very useful in getting help for editing.
  • No one had issues with having the article title included in the question.
  • Most participants would post a question to the help desk as a last resort after trying to help themselves through clicking on links, with two people saying they would likely not post at all as they would want a more immediate response.
  • One user said they would more likely just Google the editing help over the options shown.
  • Whilst it was understood that the Help desk would be answered by volunteers, many participants wanted more reiteration and clarity of expected wait times.
  • Clear layout of options, shown in the order in which almost participants said they would seek for help.
  • Discoverability of the help panel call-to-action may be reduced in the case when the user is using the Visual Editor or wikitext2017 editor because those editors have a competing “?” icon.
  • One user suggested having an example question in hint text.
  • One user wanted more information shown about when their question was viewed and by how many people.
  • Two users mentioned the help recommendations shown on the Help Desk seemed disjointed from what was shown in the help panel.

Recommendations (not all of these will be implemented)

  • Prioritize the Searching help task inside the help panel.
  • Provide clearer times on both the review and confirmation screens for when a newcomer should expect a response from the help desk.
  • Add a more specific help question sample in the placeholder/hint text.
  • Experiment or A/B test alternative text on the initial “Ask a question” call-to-action.
  • Show a first-run tooltip/pulse indicator to highlight the new help panel.
  • Add an additional menu item to existing editing toolbar help on Desktop VE or Wikitext2017 which opens the help panel.

Measurement and results

Measurement and experiment plans

High-level questions

These are the main things we want to find out from the help panel.

  1. Does the presence of the help panel lead to questions being asked and answered?
  2. Does the presence of the help panel increase editor activation (making their first edit)?
  3. Does the presence of the help panel increase editor retention (coming back to edit again)?
  4. Does the presence of the help panel increase the proportion of constructive edits?

Controlled experiments

See this page for the detailed experiment plan.

In order to understand the help panel’s impact on editor activation and retention, we propose a six month A/B test. During that test, 50% of new registrations on target wikis will have the help panel enabled by default, and 50% will have it disabled. We anticipate that we will be able to detect 10% changes in activation after about one month, and 10% changes in retention after about six months. We are likely to be running other experiments on the target wikis at the same time, for example, testing variants of our welcome survey. Therefore, assignment of users to treatment and control groups for all tests will have to be coordinated so that we ensure the distributions are not biased.

Specific measurements: quantitative

These are specific measurements that help us answer the high-level questions. These are measurements we will be able to do programmatically. See this EventLogging schema for the exact details on the data that is being recorded and stored.

  1. What is the context the user is in when they start interacting with the help panel?
  2. What percent of users open the help panel?
  3. What percent close the help panel without using any part of it?
  4. What percent click one or more of the help links?
  5. How far do users go in the workflow of asking a question?
  6. What percent of users turn the help panel off?
  7. What is the average length of questions asked via the help panel?
  8. What percent of users click any of the links in the final confirmation page of asking a question?
  9. What percent of users who post a question return to view the answer?
  10. Does interacting with the help panel alter the probability of abandoning an edit session?
  11. What percent of users use the help panel more than once?
  12. Are newly registered users with an email address likely to return to view the answer to their question?
  13. What percent of newcomers that had no email address add one when asking a question?
  14. What percent of newcomers confirm their email address (within 48 hours) after asking a question?
  15. What percent of newcomers ask a question without an email address?
  16. What percent of newcomers submit a question without including the title of the page they were editing?
  17. How does help panel usage vary with welcome survey responses?

Specific measurements: qualitative

These are specific measurements that help us answer the high-level questions. These are measurements we will need to do manually, by counting and reading the contents of help desks.  Doing these programmatically would be an inordinate amount of work.

  1. What percent of questions get answered?
  2. How quickly do questions get answered?
  3. How often do newcomers edit the question they asked?
  4. What kind of questions do people ask and which ones are more likely to get answered?

Usage counts

After about two months of being deployed to half of new accounts in Czech and Korean Wikipedias, and two weeks of being deployed to half of new accounts in Vietnamese Wikipedia, these are the numbers (as of 2019-03-28):

  • 3,343 users have seen the help panel button
  • 566 users have opened up the panel
  • 225 users have clicked a link in the panel
  • 51 have run searches
  • 51 users have submitted a question to the help desk (Czech: 34, Korean: 8, Vietnamese: 9)

Leading indicators

The help panel's experiment plan defines a set of leading indicators that the team evaluates in order to determine whether the feature is behaving as expected, and whether there are any urgent problems that need to be solved.

Using a month of data, we published an initial evaluation of leading indicators here. In summary, the help panel seems to be behaving in a healthy way, with good numbers of newcomers opening and using it. The analysis identified a couple areas for improvement that the team has taken action on:

  • Because we wanted to increase the number of newcomers who open the panel, we started showing it in additional contexts on March 4, 2019. Newcomers now see the help panel when reading in the Wikipedia, Help, and User namespaces.
  • Because we saw that in Korean Wikipedia very few users ask questions, we built the search feature so that newcomers would have an easier way to find helpful information on their own.

Experiment results

See results above.

Resources

  • More on this feature: The help panel contains a link to learn "More about this feature". That link will lead to this page, which will hopefully answer user questions about how the feature works. Feel free to translate it into your language!
  • Best practices: Because many communities don't have a lot of experience concerning help desks, the WMF Community Relations Team has assembled on a page with some best practices that can help communities have more successful collaborations with newcomers. Please feel free to translate that page into your language!
