Description

This task is about enabling newcomers to opt out of the mentor module. A feature to enable newcomers to choose specific mentors is described in T292068: Have a way for a mentee to select a new mentor and will be considered in future.

User Job Stories
As a newcomer who values privacy and does not want perceived scrutiny by others(privacy-conscious)
When Isee that I have been assigned an experienced editor as a mentor,(situation)
I want tobe able to be remove that mentor,(motivation)
so thatI feel free from personalised attention by someone to my activities on Wikipedia.(expected outcome)
As a newcomer who wants to be learn about Wikipedia on my own(no help wanted)
When Isee that I have been assigned an experienced editor as a mentor,(situation)
I want tobe able to be remove myself as a mentee,(motivation)
so thatI feel unmonitored and free to contribute uninhibitedly on Wikipedia.(expected outcome)
As a newcomer who does not expect or want unsolicited communications(unwanted messages)
When Iget an unsolicited and unwelcome message from my mentor asking about my Wikipedia activity(situation)
I want tobe able to block or stop further contact from this person as my mentor(motivation)
so thatI can continue using other newcomer features and contribute without seeing their messages.(expected outcome)

This third user story may necessitate a future feature that enables a newcomer to not only opt-out, but report or more actively block their mentor, tasked as T292629.

A supplementary benefit of this feature may be that mentors could get less irrelevant messages, per the following reason:
"As a mentor, I don't want to receive so many messages that don't contain substantive questions." Many newcomers send messages to their mentors that don't have actionable substance, the most common being "hello". It is debatable whether such conversation starters are actually a good thing for the newcomer experience, but we could experiment with whether requiring opt-in would screen out some of the newcomers who don't intend to ask substantial questions.

Proposed designs

1. Opting out

  • The newcomer may access the opt-out modal can be accessed via a new overflow menu item on the mentor module, or via a link in the “About mentors” dialog (also new, see T292627).
  • Upon selecting the "Opt out" button, they are shown a confirmation message.
  • We may wish to show an optional "why did you opt-out?" question on the second screen. If this is descoped, then it would simply contain the confirmation that the newcomer has opted out.
  • All copy is TBC.
  • Opting out will revert the mentor module to a new opted-out state of the Mentor module on Desktop, on Mobile, they will return to the newcomer homepage with the mentor preview module in a new opted out state (see below).

2. Opted out state of mentor module

  • The mentor module goes into this new state after the newcomer opts out of mentoring.
  • The Desktop module is as shown, with text and a quiet icon button to bring up the "opt-in" modal.
  • On mobile, there is a new opted out state for the mobile preview only, since there is no mobile mentor module. Selecting anywhere on the mentor preview will bring up the "opt-in" modal.
  • All copy is TBC.

Further notes on proposed designs:

  • Newcomer are default opted-in, but will have additional context/information provided about the feature (per T292627) and are given a clear CTA to opt out.
  • Opting-out will unassign and detach the newcomer from their mentor. This is so that the mentor will be prevented from reaching out to mentees who have opted-out. The mentee should be removed from the mentor's dashboard and from their ability to filter to them in Recent Changes.
  • If the newcomer opts back in, they should not receive the same mentor as before. We should randomly assign them a new mentor.

@RHo I just checked your designs, and they're perfect, I like them :-). As soon as we're sure this is how we want it to look like, I'm happy to start working on this.

@RHo Can you please clarify whether this task should still be in "Design doing" (with you assigned to it), or if it is okay for me to work on this?

Hiya @Urbanecm_WMF - happy for you to get started if this is prioritised on the Mentor features work with @MMiller_WMF

Thanks @RHo! Clearing you as the assignee then.

Hello @RHo, can you please clarify what should happen after the user opts back into mentorship (ie. once they press the "Continue") button? I assume a confirmation screen should appear and then...a page refresh (to load the new "opt in" module)? Or is a refresh not acceptable?

And other question (that came up while discussing this with @Tgr): The designs for opting out of mentorship at F34678894 include a three dots menu in the mentorship module. Is it likely we will need that capability in other modules too? In other words, would it be worth the effort to implement that at the framework level (so any module can reuse it later)?

Hi @Urbanecm_WMF - I think we ideally should refresh the page immediately to show the mentor module (no confirmation step needed).

Yes, that's a great suggestion.

In here @Sunpriat notes:

(A) mentor can observe the contribution statistics and activity time for an unprecedented long time (even logged actions that are usually not observed by others) that the extension makes to him.

What we display on the dashboard is:

  • username and registration date
  • last activity
  • number of edits
  • number of questions to mentor
  • number of reverts
  • number of blocks

Almost all of this is visible in Logs and at Special:Contributions.

(2) Opt-out dialog step 1

  • "Opt out of mentoring" is not bolded.
  • "You can always opt back into mentoring again.[...]" Possibly confusing phrasing here: A user is not opting out of being a mentor, but from being mentored. Users may returned to being mentored again (or to get a mentor again.

Per discussion with @Trizek-WMF, this should have a tech news notice. This change will be deployed with the wmf.12 train (so this Thursday for Wikipedias).

Possible wording: The Growth team maintains a mentorship program for newcomers. Previously, newcomers weren't able to opt out from the program. Starting May 19, 2022, newcomers are able to fully opt out from Growth mentorship, in case they do not wish to have any mentor at all.

Hi @Urbanecm_WMF - thanks for your work so far. As @Etonkovidova picked up in QA, there are some differences in the mocks that I wanted to get fixed.

For @RHo review:
Mobile - Opting in (with comparison to the mockups)
(1) Mobile preview

  • Mobile preview doesn't include "Get a mentor" link; clicking on the preview will display an overlay where the link is ptresent.

On mobile, there should indeed be the "Get a mentor" quiet (frameless) progressive button with icon on the mobile preview. This is because selecting that should trigger the opt-in dialog over the mobile homepage (not take users to a mobile opted-out mentor module).

  • Why mentor is in quotations marks?

This is my draft copy because "mentor" is often an unfamiliar concept to users, we can change to remove the quotes.

Per previous comment, the intention is that the Opt-in dialog is triggered by tapping on the button in the mentor preview and appear over the homepage, rather than in a separate mobile view of the opted-out mentor module. And yes, "Get a mentor" is not actually a link but a progressive quiet button with icon in the same Accent50 colour.

Thanks to @kostajh, (1) from T287915#7938222 is now fixed. I'm wondering whether we also need to address (2) -- the currently-present dialog is the standard OOUI dialog. We can probably hack it to look like in the mockup, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

@Urbanecm_WMF - is ok that the arrow on the Mentorship module (and the Mentorship module overall) is not clicable when it's in "Mentor for editing" state? It seems inconsistent with other clickable modules on the mobile Homepage.

Thanks for the review. I think it's okay, at least for now. IMO, the arrow should not be there at all, because other modules have an overlay attached, while the "Mentor for editing" module only lets mentors to view it. I filled T314289: Remove the arrow from mobile Special:Homepage for "Mentor for editing" opt-in module about this. Closing!
