Wikipedia:Labels/Edit types

File:Edit categories history page.svg

In this labeling campaign, we'll label a random sample of TODO edits by the type of change that was made in the edit. This will allow us to train and test a machine learning model that detects these edit types later. See #Why?.

We're labeling edits based on Wikipedia:Labels/Edit_types/Taxonomy. See that page for more information about what each "edit intention" means.

Why?

{{main|:m:Research:Automated classification of edit types}}

;rich revision histories

:enrich article revision history pages, user contribution pages, recent changes with tagged edits

;predict contributor roles

:study if wikipedian roles can be predicted from their edit types and design automated recommendations / recruitment strategies for articles in need of specific roles

;article lifecycles

:analyze the evolution of individual articles (by type of activities) and study how the article lifecycle has changed over time and across languages

;edit types and editing interfaces

:study if people make different types of edits as a function of the edit interface they are using

;newbie task recommendations

:Understand what tasks are most likely to be successfully picked up by newbies recommending minimizing reverts or deletions; study the engagement/retention effects of priming new contributors with the expected response to the quality and type of their contribution

;wiki work visualizations

:Make it easy to perform project-level or article-level data analysis / visualization by type of contributions
