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. 😎-----😇

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)

The fact it let you see pure and unrestrained wikipedia editing, not blocking out features not currently useful (most of the time), and the little sound links that played music when you answered questions

scanning through articles to find problems, and fixing readability issues

things,but with I will do the very best that I can,in trying to contribute,and help,and in conclusion,I thank all whom have

made this possible over the years The best of wishes to you,to one,and of course to all Herbadella(Herbadella (talk) 02:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)) --Herbadella (talk) 02:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zanygenius/Feedback on the TWA

Greetings, I'm User:Zanygenuus, who has been editing since 18 December 2017. Although I just got around to doing the [{Wikipedia:TWA]] today. For the most part, I had a blast! And I really need a refresher. However I noticed that my constructive edits were sometimes completely reverted by "other users". You might check into that.

What I liked
  • Fun
  • Good learning
  • Barnstar! (Even though it was fake).

I would do it again.

What I didn't like
  • Doesn't let you through if you don't press on the certain buttons in the tutorial box. Like if I try publishing something without clicking on the "I did that" button, t will tell me to go back and do it again.
  • Fails to notice the obvious and adjusts for them, like on citations, where I had inserted some in there beforehand and it still tagged me.
What I wanted more of

I'm not sure, though I wish that the other editors would actually use the WP:MOS on the talk page, they divided their stuff up when some of it belonged together (like answering someone else). They sorta didi it, I wish they did it more correctly.

What was unnecessary

Not sure.

Oops, I put my comment in the wrong spot. Here:

Anyways, glad I took it, and hopefully those tips will help. Thank you

Feedback from a blind person's perspective

Feedback

What I liked

The adventure was perhaps the easiest and fun way to introduce editing concepts I have tried.

I have read a few such articles in the past as an anonymous editor, but actually creating an account and having a safe place to practise everything discussed was fantastic.

What I didn't like

There wasn't much I didn't like.

However, I would like to point out that, as a blind user, I would kindly suggest you add alt text to the images used in the tutorial, particularly the ones telling you which buttons to press. Hearing my screen reader saying something like "VectorInsertImage.svg" and working out that it actually means the "embed file" took some trial and error. I ended up inserting a picture gallery at one point as I thought that's what it meant.

Also, the link to close the tutorial needs a text label. I pressed it experimentally a couple of times, closing the adventure. I then had to start the mission I was on from the beginning, resulting in duplicate messages being added to my talk page etc.

Again, these are minor things that would take seconds to implement, and it would make for an even greater and accessible experience.

What I wanted more of

In the section on inserting images, I would like to see an exercise on inserting alt text for the visually impaired. I have noticed a lot of images on Wikipedia of late do have descriptive alt text, which is wonderful. So teaching people about this during the adventure would be brilliant.

Add a section about previewing changes before publishing. This is a habit I have developed, but it might not be obvious to other users.

What was unnecessary

Maybe the little videos. But I just ended up skipping over them.

Any other thoughts you want to share

As I said above, this is extremely well done, and if I had known about this in the past, I would have probably created an account long before.

Just a quick typo I want to bring to your attention in "You've got Verifi-ability"

Let's put this new knowlege to use! It should be "knowledge".

Keep up the good work. PS. Sorry about the formatting. --KaraLG84 (talk) 14:04, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any other thoughts you want to share
