== Administrators' newsletter – January 2025 == |
|||
Hello, |
|||
[[Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter|News and updates for administrators]] from the past month (December 2024). |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''. |
|||
<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap"> |
|||
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. |
|||
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em"> |
|||
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] . |
|||
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns. |

Hello, |

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]]. |
|||
Take the survey '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en here]'''. |
