Extension:GuidedTour/User testing

Test A

 * Did you edit Wikipedia before this test, even once?: Nope, I have never edited or signed up to Wiki before.


 * What frustrated you the most? What improvements would have made the process easier?: I am sorry, but pretty much everything! I really like using Wiki and was surprised at how confusing the process I was take through made it seem to edit and contribute! The sign up process was straight forward, but after I had done this, I didn't see the purpose of the page I was taken through. You need firstly to be taken to the Training section, and given a walk through step by step of what it means to contribute and edit. Then you need an interactive page that talks you through step by step what every part of the page is. You need to explain what html is, how to edit it, what it looks like in 'real preview' what process there is for checking. And after the tutorial you need to show how to find pages that need editing, or is it just that I can edit any page I like??


 * What did you like about the process, if anything?: Personally, as stated on q2, I love wiki and find it an interesting and informative site. If I am helping my son with his homework, we always come to Wiki to look for information. I therefore love the site, but I hated how I was then 'left in the dark' almost to find out how to edit a page! Sorry

Test B

 * Did you edit Wikipedia before this test, even once?: No


 * What frustrated you the most? What improvements would have made the process easier?: That the tool that was supposed to teach me how to edit got stuck following the first stage. From there, I didn't know how to proceed without causing more damage than good.


 * What did you like about the process, if anything?: It seems to have great potential, compared to the old one (which is a huge article with a list of other things to read), if it had only worked.
