6 Nisan 2018'den itibaren iki ana araştırma sorusunu yanıtlamak amacıyla nitel kullanıcı testi gerçekleştirdik:


 * 1) Does the new treatment for page issues increase the awareness among readers of page issues?
 * 2) How do users feel about being informed of page issues? How does awareness of page issues affect their perception of Wikipedia?

We were additionally able to glean some information regarding some of our our additional research questions:


 * 1) How do readers form opinions about the quality and reliability of Wikipedia pages in general?
