- 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!

My feedback
After the Wikipedia adventure
I found a few problems.
- it is not detecting when the user opens the source editor
- sometimes, I'd like to few the tips screen while editing a page, but I end up having to close it because it's in the way. That is a bit disorienting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Digi-ark (talk • contribs) 13:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

- What I liked
It's simple to follow.
- What I didn't like
It might have been too simple in some parts.
- What I wanted more of
More information about basic policies and maybe more information about formatting citations for newcomers. At the very least, something more to point us in the right direction to learn more.
- What was unnecessary
Nothing, really.

Broke everything into nicely-sized pieces, so that users weren't presented with a wall of instructive text. I also like how tactfully this approached topics like vandalism, emotion and bias. It's easy for discussion on those topics to get derailed. Overall I found it very effective and hit just the right tone.

- What I wanted more of
During image editing, users should be told about alt tags and ideally provided alt text to insert. To support web accessibility, the habit should be started early to always include an alt tag with every image added to the web, unless the image is ornamental.

Great introduction for newbies. I enjoyed the gamification. Mix of tasks and multiple choice questions...
- What I didn't like
I couldn't complete one of the tasks, I think it was removing a tag in Mission 6, I got stuck in a loop and couldn't progress...

Thanks for the introduction to Wikipedia, it was great fun! Very informative!

This was a good refresher, even for intermediate editors, loved the interface.
- What I didn't like
Unfortunately, hitting the "back" button creates something of a mess (see User talk:EpicPupper/TWA, I would love for a note to be added warning of hitting the "back" button.

None!

Thanks for making this! I might lurk around TWA and try to contribute a bit more in the future. --EpicPupper 21:09, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

The page Wikipedia:TWA/2/Gaia (whose talkpage redirects here) has a Lint error because it contains an unbalanced bold tag. It is in line number 5 where there is an invalid ''' after </nowiki>. The ''' should be removed. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 09:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

- What I liked
Everything! This was so much fun and a great, interesting introduction to wikipedia.
- What I didn't like
If you hit the back button, there is no way to return to your previous position without doing the activities again...maybe a warning can be added about this?
- What I wanted more of
More information about actually finding and sourcing references.
- What was unnecessary
Nothing; everything was great.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
Really enjoyed this. Really enjoyed the characters, background design could be changed to format better but it was fine and wasn't too distracting.

- What I liked
The humor, the rewards and the little pieces of music here and there that makes one want to carry on!
- What I didn't like
It pollutes the contribution history; I don't know if that's avoidable though.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
It was nice overall. I didn't have many issues aside from a popups partially blocking buttons that I needed to click to progress in the game sometimes (this might be due to the fact that I use the Timeless skin). I think that the game should be more prominently featured in the website to reach the target audience (which is beginning Wikipedians I presume); in my case, I stumbled upon this game by accident.

- What I liked
I really liked the overall idea and concept of the tutorial-esque minigame.
- What I didn't like
This is probably just me but, I personally wanted to have the option of skipping some of the steps. Several times it was bugged on a certain place when I realized it was because I was going too fast and skipping ahead. For example, when publishing, if you didn't click the next step, where the next step would tell you to publish it, it would not make it count as you doing it, and when clicking the 'next' you would then realize that you messed up by not clicking it first and then publishing.
- What I wanted more of
Maybe more information on wiki policies/rules/guidelines? Give the user a quick rundown of important WP articles ie. WP:NPOV, WP:N, and WP:SOURCE just to name a few. (I understand NPOV was addressed but maybe add a little more information)
- What was unnecessary
Nothing was "unneccesary" all of that was pretty much something an editor starting out would need.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
For some reason I somehow missed this entire thing when I was first starting to edit. Would have probably used this tutorial a year ago if I found it.
