Summary

Notes

Fixing typo

Clicks the edit tab at the top. Reads the instructions and enters the edit summary. Expects the publish button at the bottom of the page. Reads the examples of wiki syntax. Scrolls through the page itself, and clicks on a sentence. Notices the wiki syntax and explains that this is probably some kind of markup or links. Corrects the typo. He notices that the Dutch translation of preview is a bit weird, and he would expect a save button here.

He clicks the preview button and likes the fact that the sentence is highlighted in yellow. He now clicks the publish button which he noticed earlier.

Adding a sentence

Clicks the edit tab at the top again and enters the edit summary. He thinks a second about how to do this, but then clicks a sentence and adds his sentence at the end.

Adding an external link

He now clicks the section edit button, notices that the entire page is edited. Enters an edit summary. Finds that it's impossible to edit the list using in sentence mode. Notices the edit modes bar. Wants to select the references mode. Is confused as to which mode to select.

I tell him he can just try something out. Thinks a bit about which mode to select. Concludes that is must be some kind of list and selects the list mode. Finds that this does work. Selects sentences again to check if it's something different, and then selects the list mode again. He clicks on the correct list and copies the syntax from an earlier list item.

He incorrectly copies the syntax and when clicking preview he finds out his link doesn't have a label. He tries to edit again and notices his mistake and fixes it.

The first recording ends here, please switch to the second part.

Adding a reference

He remarks that it doesn't matter which edit button to click, which isn't that logical. Selects the reference edit mode. Scrolls to the external links section, and completely misses the fact that references in the text are highlighted. Proceeds to read the help that shows the syntax of a reference.

He switches back to the sentences edit mode and scrolls a bit. He then selects the list mode again and explains that he feels he should use that. He the switches to references again and tells me that references aren't highlighted. He explains how to add a reference using a tag, and then selects the list edit mode again. He tries to edit external links again, and I tell him I want a reference, not an external link.

He tries the reference edit mode again, but notices that the reference list at the bottom of the page can't be edited this way. He clicks full editor but misses the fact you have to click a link. I ask him if he'd have stopped by now. He tells me that normally he likes to try things out, and search for it. I tell him that it is okay. He notices the more information link provided by the reference edit mode, but doesn't click it. He struggles a bit with the explanation, and finally clicks the link. He reads a bit about references, but still doesn't know what to do with it. We decide to skip this assignment for now.

Changing population count

He clicks the edit tab at the top, and enters an edit summary. The population count in the text is no problem, but he struggles with editing the infobox. He tries the media edit mode, and finds out that this doesn't work. He tries the template edit mode, and finds that in this mode the infobox is highlighted. He clicks the infobox, fixes it, and we notice a few bugs here.
