* [[User:the wub|the wub]] has been appointed as a Wikimedia '''[[m:Wikimedia Fellowships|Community Fellow]]''' to lead a data-driven improvement of the English Wikipedia's help documentation, and will be working closely with the Help Project. You can read more about his plans at [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Community fellowship]] or in [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-04-23/News and notes|this ''Signpost'' article]], and he has just released a first [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Community fellowship/Report 2012-05-15|report]] on progress so far.
* The project's pages have had a major '''[[Wikipedia:Help Project|redesign]]''', introducing tabs in order to make them more usable. If you haven't stopped by recently then check them out!
* A table of '''[[Wikipedia:Help Project/page statistics|statistics]]''' is now available for all pages in [[:Category:WikiProject Help Project]], this includes page views, word counts and a variety of readability scores. This should be helpful in prioritising improvement work and finding redundant pages.
* '''{{tl|Breadcrumb2}}''' is a new template for making attractive navigational [[Breadcrumb (navigation)|breadcrumbs]]. This may be useful for linking help pages.
* This '''newsletter''' was started :-)

Hello from the [[Wikipedia:Help Project|Help Project]], and welcome to the second issue of our newsletter!

The biggest project I've been working on this month has been a large survey of users to find out what they think of our current help pages. [[Wikipedia:Help Project/June 2012 survey|Preliminary results]] from this are now available, although there are more responses trickling in from the lower edit count groups since a batch of email invitations were recently sent out. Finalised results and further analysis should be posted next week.

Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter]]. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Participants|participants page]] and add "no newsletter" next to your name.

* Calling all CSS and template gurus: [[Help:Diff]] and {{tl|wiki diff}} need to be updated to match the new MediaWiki diff styles.
* Why not wander through the lower reaches of [[Wikipedia:Help Project/page statistics]] and see if there are pages that can be cleaned up or merged.

; From the editor
Welcome to the (slightly delayed) third issue of the [[Wikipedia:Help Project|Help Project]] newsletter.

The past month has once again been a busy one for my fellowship. The full [[Wikipedia:Help Project/June 2012 survey|results and conclusions]] from the extensive user survey on help pages are now available, and make interesting reading. These do confirm a number of our suspicions about Wikipedia help, and suggest that the [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Community fellowship|current plan]] for the remainder of the fellowship is a sound approach.

Also last month I was fortunate enough to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC, where I gave a presentation about help pages and the aforementioned survey results. You can find the slides from this [[:commons:File:Wikimania 2012 - Help pages fellowship.pdf|on Commons]]. Wikimania was also a great opportunity for many discussions with staff and community members, and these brought up some interesting ideas which I hope to follow up on.

One of the things much discussed was the planned tutorial pages. I've been working on a new design for them which can be seen at [[User:The wub/sandbox/1]], please let me know what you think (especially if you spot any bugs!).

Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter]]. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Participants|participants page]] and add "no newsletter" next to your name.
