- What I liked
I think it's a very decent tutorial for a beginner to get an idea of the basic elements. I personally enjoyed it and found it helpful.
- What I didn't like
...
- What I wanted more of
I would like a short description or a picture explaining all of the signs in the edit box. Partly they were used in the Adventure, but not all.--Less Unless (talk) 13:10, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
- What I liked
... I really liked the whole story! It helped me somehow to learn the most basics with the funniest way!
- What I didn't like

- What I wanted more of
... A good improvement is that you could add a story about reverting vandalism, and a few more I can't remember now.

- It was great... if I had to be critical, the box "Challenge yourself" not closing was a bit distracting. Also I had to leave the adventure to set my editor to source. I knew how to do this others might not.

Thanks for a fun tutorial!

- What I liked
fun! This is an interesting way to introduce the basics of editing.
- What I didn't like
Sometimes it was difficult to see what to do because of scrolling around between the message box and the text.

Would be good to link this directly from the Wiki Edu materials. Also, some of the terminology used in the tutorial doesn't match what's on the screen. "Edit source" -> "Edit" "Publish" -> "Publish changes"

... May be we could add more practice exercises. At first having one guided as an example, then give the editor a few chances to apply the new knowledge.

adventure
I do not know how to go back to the adventurs i did not finish. How do i find them? i have completed 10 and just need to do the other 5 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicoborza99 (talk • contribs) 12:43, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
- neither do i. note if you remember which adventures they were, you can go to the adventure page and just play them again, ignoring the parts that you already learned. or get a revision.
- tip but please don't leave the 'edit summary' empty in any mission, just to save your time. i know that i made that mistake in mission 6. 0dont()())0abuse0wikiped0ia0 (talk) 07:16, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Feedback for Mission 1-5 using Firefox
- What I liked
... that it worked at all, using computers to do anything is hard. and most developers don't provide tutorial for their apps or sites. also, it prepares me for wikipedia. in a way that even desktop apps don't.
- What I didn't like
... some text errors at some points, I have them at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:0dont()())0abuse0wikiped0ia0/sandbox
lack of a dark theme. i use a browser extension, but I'd rather not use it on every site.
- What I wanted more of
... more speed. it was slow to load sometimes. maybe its something else at play here, excluding context-specific network issues.
more time to test these levels.
- What was unnecessary
... nothing. well, to elaborate, I knew how to do some things from using desktop apps and guessed some others, so it wasn't too challenging. but the pop-ups were placed incorrectly.
this is from heuristics based on my second feedback post about mission 6. there might be more issues in level 1-5, if 'edit summary' is empty or not exactly what's expected.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
... Keep up the good job, troopers.

Feedback for mission 6 using Firefox
- What I liked
... missions before mission 6
- What I didn't like
... for now, mission 7's last part
- What I wanted more of
... no bugs for simple omissions, that don't stop progress and display a helpful message.
- steps to reproduce
multiple steps to keep going around in circles to test a bug in last part of mission 7.
hopefully this is the issue -
first I completed the last step but forgot to enter the edit summary. then the page redirects and the pop-up with title 'Edit summary, and Publish'
appears, I click the button below it. when I copy then paste either of -
- "Added more reliable, neutral info about Earth's history from the talk page"
- "Added more reliable, neutral info about Earth's history from the talk page".
and click publish changes, I come back to the same pop-up on the same page.
to break out of loop, I copy then paste -
- Added more reliable, neutral info about Earth's history from the talk page
and the issue gets solved.
- What was unnecessary
... this issue, but that's because its hard to build stuff using programming languages.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- What I liked
- I love this! The Wikipedia Adventure is a fantastic way to introduce new or even existing users to a process (contributing to and communicating within Wikipedia) which can be quite overwhelming at first. This ought to be more prominently featured in the appropriate places so more users see it!
- I love the different characters you created for this, especially SocraTease!
- I appreciate the resources and other links that are provided after completing all the missions.
- What I didn't like
- The audio files featured at the end of missions and elsewhere are goofy yet fun. Many of them fit the overall tone of the experience, some of them don't really fit. Additionally, they're a bit all over the place regarding length. To me, it would make more sense if the shorter ones were used for the small milestones and the longer ones reserved for completing missions. That's nitpicky, though. Good choice not making them autoplay. ;)
- There's a part in mission 6 where Sofy says
Is there supposed to be a CLEANUP TAG on the article? Is it a joke insinuating that Sofy is cursing? What is a CLEANUP TAG anyway? This is confusing to me.That...CLEANUP TAG...doesn't look so good. Let's check out the talk page to see what it means.
- Also in mission 6, when Sofy says
There is no "{{Unreferenced}}" in the text of the source editor, unless I totally missed it with Ctrl+FYou solved the problem, so let's go delete the cleanup tag.
Go ahead and find and delete: {{Unreferenced}} Begone!
The boxes in which instructions are given do strange things at times. Most notably, while you're in a mission, the boxes appear on wikipedia pages in other tabs.
