Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Rikwes blong adminsip blong yusa Wolverène / Request for adminship for user Wolverène[edit source]
Halo evriwan. I am Wolverène, I used to be a test administrator of the Bislama Wikipedia in 2017-2018, and now I'm turning back for good (at least for long) and would like to continue the administrator experience on the Bislama Wikipedia. I'm appearing regularly in the latest time, keeping an eye on the recent changes, and without other regular contributors here and with an increasing vandalism it's become a challenge. I would like to become an administrator to fight the vandalism effectively, including deletion of a nonsense, blocking vandals and performing semi-protections.
I don't speak Bislama, maybe just in a sub-basic level, I'm able to understand it though, usually using dictionaries and reference materials. I made the contribution of ~1,150 edits (as of today).
See also my SUL info to make sure that the community can trust in me. Thanks in advance, --Wolverène (talk) 12:39, 20 Oktoba 2021 (UTC)
