Notes

Participant #10
Gender Education Editor Wikipedia viewing Wikipedia editing Personal suggestions
Male Undergraduate Blocks 5 times a week 1 time making the adding of references easier

Fixing a typo

He clicks the edit tab at the top of the page, and enters an edit summary by copying one of the examples below the text box. He looks at the instructions. He then clicks on the sentence and fixes the typo, hits preview, and clicks the publish button.

Adding a sentence

He switches to the paragraph edit mode and clicks the first paragraph. He adds a sentence at the end of the paragraph, hits preview, enters an edit summary and hits publish.

Adding an external link

He clicks the section edit link, and expects to only see the external links section, but instead gets the entire page again. He enters an edit summary. He notices he cannot edit the links in sentence edit mode, switches to section edit mode, and copies the syntax. He hits preview and then publishes the page.

Adding a reference

Again, he clicks on the edit tab. He switches to section edit mode and clicks the reference section. He tries to copy the syntax of the category links. He hits preview and we encounter a bug in the software. I tell him he's on the wrong tag trying to copy the category links.

He now tries to edit a reference in the text, and when looking at another reference he understands how this works. He incorrectly copies the syntax, but he copies it within a link. He edits the section again and asks me something about the syntax, to which I don't respond. He figures it out himself and it seems to work. I ask him how the syntax works, to which he correctly replies that the brackets generate links. He notices that the reference is still incorrect as there is no link description, but tells me he doesn't know how to fix this, enters an edit summary and publishes the page. He still doesn't really understand how references work.

Changing population count

First, he uses the sentence edit mode to change the value in the text. He switches to sentence edit mode to change the value in the template, which works without problems. He enters an edit summary and hits publish.
