The
Adventure



Welcome to the Interstellar Lounge and Cafe!


More funky, or… …less funky.
'Sit down, have a cup. While you're here something to muse on:'

Think about what an awesome trip you're on,
How many millions of people benefit from Wikipedia every day,
How marvelous it is that people all over the world have collaborated to create this unique resource,
How important sharing knowledge is,
How people working together over time can do amazing things.

Hope that was an inspiring musing. 😎-----😇 all to help u guys!

Get help

Need help with something in The Wikipedia Adventure?

What to do next

Tips for feedback

Tell us what you liked about it, where we could improve, and what you learned

How you can help
  • Play the game all the way through. Do you get stuck anywhere? Is anything unclear?
  • Finish the game if you only played a few missions: Give some attention to missions 5-7 (which have been tested much less)
  • Start over fresh with a new account: Like User:OcaasiTWA17 (these are legitimate alternate testing accounts and are not considered sockpuppets)
  • Try a different browser: If you used Safari, try Firefox (or Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera...)
  • Show the game to a friend or family member to see how they like it and if they get stuck anywhere
In your feedback, please include any of your thoughts on
  • text instructions within the game
  • graphic placement
  • bugs in the tour mechanics
  • your web browser
  • your screen resolution
  • which step of the tour you were on if something didn't work (see the step= in the url)
  • what you liked
  • what you didn't like
  • what you think would work better
  • your thoughts on the design: the theme, the guide, the characters, the colors, the images, the sounds
known bugs
  • Lingering Dialog Boxes: If you leave the tour without finishing, the guider dialog boxes will follow you until you [x] out of them (this is a Guided Tours issue generally and there's no easy fix) Example (phab:T122891)
  • Vector Only: If you're using monobook or modern etc., the layout won't work. Almost all new editors will be using Vector, so this is a known, acceptable trade-off (phab:T122891)
  • Mobile and Tablet Formatting Fails: While tested for most modern desktop and laptop browsers, the game is not configured to work properly on tablets and other smaller devices. It may, but we'd be getting lucky. (phab:T122892)
  • Doesn't scale to my preference of window size or scale symmetrically (ctrl 0/-/+). FF 25. (@start) (T122893)
  • There's no way to jump ahead if you are repeating steps or trying to get back to where you left off mid-mission. (phab:T122895)
  • The guided tour for edit summary dialog sometimes appears in weird places or isn't clickable for the VisualEditor version of the adventure (T368226)
  • "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" overlapping on some background pages Wikipedia:TWA/Background/3 (T365219)

After the Wikipedia adventure

Ideas

A symphonyNJaylove (talk) 21:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could we mention the COI guide in TWA? I think it would fit into the Neutrality section. (I did not know about COI and suggested an edit to a page about a friend and then had to undo it :D) VatBatCat (talk) 20:24, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback

What I liked

Very useful and interactive tool/game!

What I didn't like

This isn't a problem with TWA, but I didn't even know it existed until now, and I've been making minor edits for some time. I think this should be more visible on the Learn to edit page. It's very easy to follow!

What I wanted more of

n/a

What was unnecessary

Technically, many parts, but I think it's engaging and well-designed. The fun stuff doesn't distract from the objective.

Any other thoughts you want to share

TWA may need to updates in some parts. For example, it states that Commons has over 16 million files; it has now surpassed 89 million and is moving rapidly! Some proofreading of the grammar in the tutorial might also be advisable.

Feedback

What I liked
  • The overall flow and theming, I enjoyed going from task to task
  • Receiving the badges - Love somewhat arbitrary achievements
What I didn't like
  • I started the adventure on the new Wikipedia layout, and many of the locations referred to in the adventure just didn't line up. I had to go to the old layout in order to continue at some point early on.
  • I don't know why, but at certain points, especially when responding to the discussion, the adventure wouldn't let me continue unless I copy and pasted my change description verbatim. I don't know if this is intentional.
  • I don't know if this is new, but many of the pages had a black border around them, and any content I added would be added outside of the black border and look unnatural. I didn't see any messaging saying that my content should be added within the division, so I wonder if this is an oversight that can be easily fixed.
What I wanted more of
  • I don't know how "advanced" it is, but I would love a slightly more fleshed out (optional?) section on templates. That's one of the most intimidating things to me as I'm entering this world, even though as I learn about templates they don't seem as hard as I thought navigating them could be.
What was unnecessary
  • I felt like there was unnecessary amounts of time spent chatting in the discussion pages, but maybe I'm underestimating how important this is.
Any other thoughts you want to share
  • I had a nice time going through the adventure!
