This is because we are trying to keep the test consistent for contributors across experience levels. Although, if you encounter an error or something unexpected, please provide enough context for us to be able to recreate the issue/experience.
 * 1) All of the steps below will take place in a test environment, so you will not actually be editing or vandalizing Wikipedia.
 * 1) This test may seem simple.
 * 1) Feel free to experiment in ways not described in the "Tasks" section.
