Fixing a typo

He clicks a section edit link and is taken to the edit page of the entire page. He clicks the sentence, immediately fixes the typo, scrolls the entire page to find some kind of save button but completely misses the huge publish button. Eventually he finds this end publishes the page without entering an edit summary.

Adding a sentence

He clicks the sentence after which he'd like to add the sentence and adds it. He publishes the page again.

Adding an external link

He clicks the section edit link next to the external link section. He reads some of the instructions on syntax, and now scrolls to the section again. He notices that the list isn't clickable. He searches the page for a button that allows him to add an external link. He uses CTRL+F to search on the page. He now notices the different edit modes and clicks the reference mode.

I tell him we don't have to add a reference right now. He clicks one of the external links, but nothing happens. He struggles with selecting the right edit mode and clicks on a more information link. He tells me he would've stopped by now.

Now I give him the hint to try out different edit modes. He clicks a few of the different edit options. He ends up using the full editor, and doesn't have too much trouble to identify the external links section. Now he correctly copies the syntax of another link. He selects the preview tab and checks if the edit was successful. He also checks the edits tab and then saves the page.

Adding a reference

I tell him how a reference works and ask him to add one. He quickly finds the full editor again and copies an existing reference tag. He correctly edits the tag, checks the preview and edit tabs and saves the page.

Changing population count

He switches to edit mode and clicks a link in the infobox, but nothing happens. He tells me he hopes that when changing one of the values, the other one changes automatically. He uses the sentence edit mode to switch the one in the text. He then proceeds to the full editor, losing his changes, but correctly changes the value in the infobox. When saving, he notices that the earlier changed sentence hasn't been saved correctly, so he tries to edit the page again and now only changes the sentence and saves it correctly.
