VisualEditor/Survey 2015/ps

The Editing team is asking for your help in improving VisualEditor. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. Small problems might not seem important enough to file a bug about, but the Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these things, too.

They are contacting several different types of users and asking you to share your thoughts by clicking this link.

The quick, simple, anonymous survey is being conducted via Qualtrics. You may respond in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the talk page. The entire survey is posted below.

The information you share will be used to improve VisualEditor's function and design. A link to the final results will be posted on this page.

Introduction
This survey is being conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation to learn more about community members' experience with VisualEditor on Wikipedia and related projects. VisualEditor is a rich-text editor that makes it possible to edit Wikipedia and other projects without first learning wikitext markup.



These screenshots were taken from the English Wikipedia article, "Galaxy". The first screenshot (on the left) shows the article open for editing in VisualEditor. The second screenshot (on the right) shows the same article open for editing in the wikitext editor.
