## Overview of project impact

Hi, my name is Rachel Helps (or [Rachel Helps (BYU) on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rachel_Helps_\(BYU\))) and this page is about my work on Wikipedia for the BYU Library. Over the last 9 years, I and my student employees edited thousands of pages, with substantial edits to about 150 pages. Thanks to editing a few popular pages (like for the actor Jimmy Stewart), our work has had hundreds of millions of views. 

Here are some tools/pages that give an overview of our work. For more detailed descriptions of what we've done, see the subpages under "what we tried" on the left-hand side of this site.

* [Outreach dashboard](https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Brigham_Young_University/HBLL_Wikipedia_Initiatives_2016-2025_\(2016-2025\)), which I believe documents all of my and my students' edits for the project 
  * it has some cool features, like looking at a "current version with highlighting" (page icon on each line of the "articles edited" list), but it doesn't work as well with pages that we changed the citation style on. 
  * there are some limitations. We created over 100 new pages over the last nine years, but only a handful appear on the "new" pages filter. If you click "see more," you can see more pages. 
* From 2016-2022, I kept detailed spreadsheets tracking our work. By 2023, I decided that the programs and events dashboard was good enough and I used those instead for individual years (different from the above dashboard link, which tries for 2016-2025). 
* I wrote prose summaries of our work most years. You can see how my writing style changed over time :-).

Here are the links to everything:
