Effects of a Wikipedia Orientation Game on New User Edits - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Sneha Narayan, Jake Orlowitz, Jonathan T. Morgan and Aaron D. Shaw.

Overview

Socializing new users into a community that has a complicated set of norms and practices often presents a large challenge for peer production projects such as Wikipedia. Failure to do so successfully leads to confusion and alienation amongst newcomers. The authors present The Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive game that orients new users on Wikipedia in the basics of editing. Authors estimate the effect that inviting new users to play this game has on their subsequent contribution levels in Wikipedia, and find that overall, users invited to play The Wikipedia Adventure contributed more edits to talk pages.
