Campaign dashboard

Translate this page; This page contains changes which are not marked for translation.

The Campaign dashboard (a.k.a. Programs & Events Dashboard, or Campaigns and events tool) is a Wikimedia tool to measure the effective participation, and the progress of (new) volunteers that participate in writing for Wikimedia projects and activities.

It allows to plan and organise events, to coach, report, and download the results. The campaign report can be used to gather impact metrics data for the WMF Foundation yearly grant reporting.

It is a building block of How to manage Wiki projects using Wikidata. It facilitates the management of a project. For the participants it is an easy way to register their contributions.

Participant Functionality

The event coordinator describes all details of the session
Go to the project page of your preferred Wikipedia
Login or create a Wikipedia account. Should this fail (e.g. in case the IP address is blacklisted), you can also request an account via the blue "Subscribe" button. Then click on "Request account". Then choose a non-existent pseudonym and enter your personal e-mail address. Then click on "Check username availability" and "Request account". You will receive an e-mail with a temporary password.
Click on the blue "Subscribe" button
Confirm that OAuth can use your account credentials
Assign a page to yourself
Click on "Sandbox Draft" to start an article

Tips for participants

Subscribe

The Wikipedia project page has a subscribe button
Users need a Wikipedia username to subscribe
If needed they can create or request an account via the tool
Organisations' IP addresses are often blacklisted (anti-abuse measure)
They should register at home, before participating to the event
This way they avoid IP restrictions when attempting onsite registration

Advantages

The reasons why we put a (Wikipedia) sign-up button on the project page are:

We are certain that participants create a Wikipedia account in advance (the number of logins that can be created on site is limited)
We can provide guidance to participants in an easy way
We know who wrote which article, which facilitates reporting afterwards (less manual work)

Data model

The activities can be set up in a hierarchy:

Organiser ← Campaign ← Program ← Session ← Participant ← Page update

The organiser is a chapter, affiliate or organisation represented by a responsible coordinator
A campaign is typically an (educational) institution, museum, or long-term activity (style Wiki Loves)
- A Campaign typically consists of a series of (yearly) Programs
A program (project) are a series of events (sessions) with their own venue
- Not to be confused with the program, as part of the yearly grant
A session (event) typically has a date, and an activity tracking start and end date
For a session (event) there can be multiple coordinators
Participants can be physically present or collaborate off-line
Participants have the option to either create or request a user account
