Enhancing Wikipedia Contributions through IntelWiki Resource Recommendations

This study presents IntelWiki, an innovative prototype designed to enhance user contributions to Wikipedia by recommending resources. Conducted by Mohammad Noor Nawaz and Andrea Bunt at the University of Manitoba, the research evaluates how streamlined resource access can improve both the quantity and quality of contributions. The findings indicate that users favor integrated editing and resource inspection techniques, leading to reduced cognitive load and increased engagement. The study demonstrates the potential of contextualized, easily accessible resources to foster voluntary contributions to free content platforms.

  4. Typical Contribution Rates Creators (1%) Contributors (9%) Consumers (90%) Stuckmanet al., WikiSym 2009 • Nielsen

  5. Increasing Contribution Rates Make it easier! Wilkinson, EC 2008 • Hoffmann et al., CHI 2009 • Nielsen

  6. State of the Art

  7. Our Contributions Novel approach to facilitating Wikipedia contributions to free-form text ─ resource recommendations Prototype illustrating approach Proof-of-concept empirical evaluation

  8. Our Approach

  9. IntelWiki Prototype: Framework Resource Fetcher Resource Ranker IntelWiki Resource Presenter

  10. IntelWiki - Demo • For demonstration video see: http://hci.cs.umanitoba.ca/projects-and-research/details/intelwiki

  11. Evaluation Conditions • IntelWiki • Default 16 participants Within subjects

  12. Tasks

  13. Perceived Workload (NASA TLX) • F1,14= 11.653; p = 0.004

  14. Word Count • F1,14= 5.302; p = 0.037

  15. Fact Count • F1,14= 7.304; p = 0.017

  16. Fact Count

  17. Preference

  18. Integrated Editing [I preferred IntelWiki] because it gives me everything in one window.

  19. Easier Resource Inspection The keywords in the tooltip helped me understand which article will be more suitable for geography. [Keyword highlighting] was very helpful; didn't have to read the whole page, or even the paragraph, only the lines containing the highlighted words.

  20. Replacing Manual Search [IntelWiki] eliminated any need for [additional searches] because, virtually anything that's needed I think was provided in the [recommended resources]

  21. Lack of Trust I don't usually trust the highlight and these things. I prefer to study by myself. I preferred the [Default interface] because I can get more facts -- I don't really have to base my knowledge on a limited set of resources. It makes me more elaborate in my research. - P10

  22. Summary Resource recommendations as an way to facilitate Wikipedia contributions IntelWiki prototype Improved editing quantity and quality, and cognitive load
