- 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

- What I liked
… Thanks for making learning fun. It's great to be part of this multiverse of knowledge.
- What I didn't like
… The first time around, I didn't get that I was supposed to participate, rather than simply read and 'click the equivalent of OK".
- What I wanted more of
… Harder questions that didn't have all the answers as "copy and paste" items.
- What was unnecessary
...
It was well constructed. Maybe if anything, the "fireworks" image was a teensy bit corny, but not at all a big deal.

The History page and sounds
Hi Ocaasi,
I just went through most of the game and I think that this was quite fun! As always there are of course some minor tweaks that would make it even better:
- I think that it was a bit confusing with the History page part. In the list is says "You" instead of my user name. I assume that this is for technical reasons, but perhaps it could say "YOUR USERNAME" or something?
- In the history list there were comments added to my edits (edit summaries) that I had not written. This, I believe, would be a bit confusing for a newbie as it would indicate that comments are added automatically/magically somehow.
- There are also some problems with the sound files as they do not open automatically when you arrive to a new page. If they would start automatically this would enhance the experience.
Finally, I was wondering when it would be possible to create local versions on other language versions?
Best, John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also, I would suggest that the step of "Show preview" would be added more frequently. John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 15:49, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- And... when adding images I suggest that also the value of captions should be mentioned in the instructions, as that would be relevant information to point out IMHO (for increased accessibility for one thing). John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Facing problems with Modern skin
I just went through the Wikipedia Adventure. My main purpose was to review the work that you all have done to see if there are any bugs and problems. I use the Modern skin and Firefox 26.0. Initially when the adventurer has to edit a page by clicking the the edit link button, I was not able to click it and the mouse cursor turned into the highlighting or editing mode instead of the hand which should have shown up while going to click a link (screen-shot of problem). I faced the problem starting 2 times and then didn't. I had to manually enter the edit link in the address bar to continue the adventure. The same thing happens when I view this page too. Even though I can't see the edit button, I can still click it. This is however not possible while the adventure is on. I hope you all fix this soon but I don't think that many newbies will even know about the modern skin.
Also, it would have been better if the music starts playing automatically (if it is possible). Can you please give me a list of the sound files that were used?
Have a very Happy New Year by the way. - Jayadevp13 15:05, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hey Jayadevp13, thanks for the feedback. We built The Wikipedia Adventure primarily for the default setting a new user would face, so Vector skin and Source (rather than Visual) editor. Frankly, we didn't even attempt to make it compatible with settings that the vast majority of new users wouldn't be using, as TWA is a very new-user centered tutorial.
- The list of sounds is at Wikipedia:TWA/Index#Sounds.
- Happy new year to you too! Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 17:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Ocaasi: Ok. I too think that compatibility for all skins is not required. Thank You for the sounds. - Jayadevp13 17:17, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Some ideas to improve
I found this game very ludic and fun. Why not add supplementary quests, for learn more again? If a contributor wants to know more on a specific subject, he can do the quest for learn. For example : -User page quest -Editing war stopping quest (with a false editing war, of course) -Vandalism stopping quest (with false vandals, as the false users of the original TWA) -etc. Also, why not put this awesome game to other Wikimedia projects.

Feedback
- What I liked
- The art design - The humor, and at times over the top "Aren't you great?" and "Isn't Wikipedia the best thing in the world?" atmosphere to the adventure. - It forced me to use the editing buttons (I had never used them before)
- What I didn't like
-In Section 3, step 3, the "Search for typos button": The button didn't indicate that I should have searched for typos before clicking on it. -I didn't know why some of the buttons had stars (*) on them -Towards the end being told to hit the edit button was tedious. (E.g step 15 of mission 6 the prompt "Click EDIT so you can add an inline citation.") I would have preferred to be taken directly to the the Edit page. - That wikilinks were introduced so late in the tutorial. For some people this is the defining feature of Wikipedia so I felt it should have been introduced sooner than later. -When told to copy a multiple choice reply for the first time in mission 2, (step 5) it wasn't immediately obvious I was meant to copy the text contained in the prompt, perhaps change the prompt to: "Copy the best reply from the box below and paste it into the editing text box, at the bottom below Will's message to you" and then surround the text ":Thanks so much for your friendly welcome User:WillKomen. I can't wait to start editing!..." with a box.
- What I wanted more of
-The art design could have benefited from further diversity. -Could have incorporated the Show Preview button.
- What was unnecessary
(Again towards the end) explicitly telling users to press the SAVE button each time an edit was made.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
-None of the sound clips automatically played for me, I wasn't aware whether this was intentional or not. -Had no idea the tutorial existed until I visited the article wizard. -The usernames used were pretty funny.

- What I liked
The badges, the article about Earth, the popup interface, the plot of the "videogame".
- What I didn't like
- The "Challenge yourself..." window it looks obscure to me. Better to add something like "Answer to the questions below".
- The "mascot" looks strange...
- I think these pictures in the article about Earth are nice, but not pertinent to the content of the sections where they are included: File:Bachalpseeflowers.jpg, File:Red eyed tree frog edit2.jpg, File:Schoolgirls in Bamozai.JPG
- The arrows to go back looks like a line: it is better to change the shape with another one with a bigger tip.
- What I wanted more of
- In the article about Earth, if we use American English, these words need to be replaced: urbanisation --> urbanization, vapour --> vapor. On the contrary, if we use Britannic English we need to change these words: kilometers --> kilometres, center --> centre, traveling --> travelling.
- in the final page of the videogame, the statistics bar are overlapped with missions' links.
- a page that shows Commons (or a simulated one) and let the user to search for pictures before to add them to the article.
- What was unnecessary
- nothing
- Any other thoughts you want to share
- More than 4 years ago, in it.wikipedia we created this guide for beginners. The initial idea was similar: to create a "safe" environment where the user can learn the basics of Wikipedia. I think it could be great to use there the popup technique that you used for TWA. More in general, these technique could be applied to a lot of Wikipedia guides to make them more user-friendly.

I didn't actually want all the badges that I got, since I felt like they cluttered up my user page (and I've since removed them). I get that it's a sign of positive encouragement, but I think this could be accomplished through fewer badges. Maybe just one cool badge could be awarded if you finished all the missions available.

I'd be curious to know how you're introducing this to potential new users. Is it going to pop up every time someone creates a new account? Does it do that already?

Irritating and patronising
This "adventure" is really patronising. I didn't come across it until I had been editing for five years or more. If it had been inflicted on me earlier, I might have been pissed off enough to give up on editing. Who do you think it is aimed at? Maproom (talk) 23:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Maproom, I'm sorry you didn't care for the game. We've surveyed new editors extensively--nearly 1000 have finished it so far, and few have said anything but that they liked it. In fact, the only two serious grievances came from very experienced editors like yourself. It's possible that the game is simply so beneath your skillset that it seems patronising, but that for a complete newcomer, it's just the kind of tone that seems accessible and entertaining. Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 00:58, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- A more advanced version should be created for semi-experienced editors. I went through the entire game hoping for some useful tips, but found everything too basic. That said, it will be of use for new editors and it did not feel patronising to me, just friendly. DirtDigger (talk) 10:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

- What I liked
Covers the basics, mentions overlinking, pretty picture, friendly, provides links to additional resources. User references in the article "history" are a nice touch.
- What I didn't like
Imaginary friends are kind of creepy. I guess they're necessary to simulate a collaborative environment, but it expected this (1:20-1:49) to happen all the time. Maybe add an age question in the beginning and replace them with more abstract explanations?
The dialog window gets in the way a few times (it blocked the save button once and text I was supposed to edit a few times). There should be a way to move it around.
- What I wanted more of
Dunno, maybe some reactivity for non-standard responses (like when the user doesn't add the text they're supposed to add and so on)? Probably hard to do...
- What was unnecessary
Some smileys; there should probably be an option to opt out of auto-adding those badges onto the userpage.

... Excellent resource. I need to show some colleagues how to use Wikipedia and I'll start by pointing them to the Adventure!

ahaha. I love Taggy McTaggerstein.
- What I didn't like
Mission 2 I think mentions that my contributions are "just from my user page and talk" which (being a long time user before this tutorial) it's not. Maybe reword it so it says something like "Unless you have been editing before this tutorial, then it's just from your user page and talk"
mission 5 step 7 ("Which sentence best summarizes Verifiability") the floating box ("Challenge yourself") should be fixed in place.
For some reason the image function wasn't working completely in mission 7. (I pasted the file names in the prompt box but it wouldn't let me actually insert them in to the article)
- What I wanted more of
explanation of certain templates like for example when creating a page about a famous person, how do you make the box to the right with their details. And how to link pages to certain categories.
- What was unnecessary
The badges and the tutorial populated messages seem like a kinda lame thing to have on my page <:D.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
A nice thorough tutorial :). Was a bit hard to find though. Maybe it needs it's own advertisement on the front page or at the top (If you're not already linking new users to it). That or maybe an obvious banner when you go to look up help editing.

- What I liked
The music, the friendly tone, the easy steps, and the general warm atmosphere around the adventure.
- What I didn't like
Sometimes while editing, I would go ahead and save the page before the "box" told me so. Seems the system had trouble if I was a step ahead without "letting it know" and I would sometimes have to restart the mission.
- What I wanted more of
Perhaps additional "missions" with more complex mechanisms covered
- What was unnecessary
Nothing unnecessary :)
- Any other thoughts you want to share
This was a good intro to wikipedia!

...Nice tutorial!
- What I didn't like
...At the step for adding 5 images, the menu method stopped working after the first image. I had to copy-paste the first entry four times, and then substitute in the names of the image files. Not sure why since the entire Adventure worked fine otherwise.
