Re: [Wiki-research-l] Questions about SuggestBot
As Stuart Yates kindly pointed out, SuggestBot is alive and well! (And in case it wasn't obvious, I know this because I'm the one maintaining it :) It's currently serving up article suggestions in seven languages. It also updates the list of open tasks (e.g. the one shown on the English Community Portal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal>) in a few languages (those task list updates pick a random selection of articles from a given set of categories, they're not personalized recommendations). There is currently not as far as I know any similar tool that does personalized recommendations. Stuart mentioned some ways that wikipedias organize work lists and keep track of things that need to be done. There's also some tools that provide topical suggestions for things to do (e.g. Citation Hunt <https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en>). I haven't dug into learning how those work. When it comes to published research on how Wikipedia contributors work with tasks, in addition to the two papers that have been published about SuggestBot there's also this one: Krieger, M., Stark, E. M., & Klemmer, S. R. "Coordinating tasks on the commons: designing for personal goals, expertise and serendipity" CHI 2009. Happy to answer any other questions you (or others) might have about SuggestBot, of course!

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Questions about SuggestBot
Thanks so much for answering my questions, Stuart. It seems redlinks are related to article creation only. Could you give me some detail about how "administrative groups" work in term of task routing? I also found the following TASK CENTER page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Task_Center). Are the links/lists (under "Do it!") used frequently by editors as routing tools? Thanks, Haifeng Zhang From: Wiki-research-l on behalf of Stuart A.
