About The Wikipedia Adventure


More funky, or... ...less funky.
'Sit down, have a cup. While you're here something to muse on:'

Think about what an awesome trip you're on,
How many millions of people benefit from Wikipedia every day,
How marvelous it is that people all over the world have collaborated to create this unique resource,
How important sharing knowledge is,
How people working together over time can do amazing things.

Hope that was an inspiring musing. 😎-----😇 all to help u guys!

Tips for feedback

[edit]

Tell us what you liked about it, where we could improve, and what you learned

How you can help
  • Play the game all the way through. Do you get stuck anywhere? Is anything unclear?
  • Finish the game if you only played a few missions: Give some attention to missions 5-7 (which have been tested much less)
  • Start over fresh with a new account: Like User:OcaasiTWA17 (these are legitimate alternate testing accounts and are not considered sockpuppets)
  • Try a different browser: If you used Safari, try Firefox (or Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera...)
  • Show the game to a friend or family member to see how they like it and if they get stuck anywhere
In your feedback, please include any of your thoughts on
  • text instructions within the game
  • graphic placement
  • bugs in the tour mechanics
  • your web browser
  • your screen resolution
  • which step of the tour you were on if something didn't work (see the step= in the url)
  • what you liked
  • what you didn't like
  • what you think would work better
  • your thoughts on the design: the theme, the guide, the characters, the colors, the images, the sounds
known bugs
  • Lingering Dialog Boxes: If you leave the tour without finishing, the guider dialog boxes will follow you until you [x] out of them (this is a Guided Tours issue generally and there's no easy fix) Example (phab:T122891)
  • The game does not work properly on the mobile site at all, and has not been tested to work properly on tablets and other smaller devices (that are using the Desktop site). It may, but we'd be getting lucky. (phab:T122892)
  • Doesn't scale to my preference of window size or scale symmetrically (ctrl 0/-/+). FF 25. (@start) (T122893)
  • There's no way to jump ahead if you are repeating steps or trying to get back to where you left off mid-mission. (phab:T122895)
  • The guided tour for edit summary dialog sometimes appears in weird places or isn't clickable for the VisualEditor version of the adventure (T368226)
  • "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" overlapping on some background pages Wikipedia:TWA/Background/3 (T365219)

What I liked

A very friendly, easy to use, step-by-step, interface and tutorial. This is especially helpful for those who have zero experience in coding or even coding-related tasks.

What I didn't like

Some UI flaws, such as having to restart the whole mission to resume it if you accidentally pressed the “X” on the TWA tab—I had to add the “Verifiablity” badge on myself after doing the mission like 2 in a row with no badge received. Although, this is mainly superficial, and doesn't affect the whole experience too much since badges are not the whole point of this experience.

What I wanted more of

The adventure to continue, adding maybe more missions introducing users to tasks of greater difficulty (ex. conflict resolution, uploading to Wikimedia?)

What was unnecessary

Distracting punny usernames.

Any other thoughts you want to share

Overall, the Wikipedia Adventure is a pleasant experience, that would increase any users' confidence to be bold.

Thank you for playing. There are no major changes planned to the adventure right now, and most of what you didn't like are known and hard-to-fix bugs. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I liked

The tutorials in real-time were very useful

What I didn't like

Some of the user interface was somewhat hard to use if I accidentally refreshed the page or clicked the wrong thing at the wrong time.

What I wanted more of

N/A

What was unnecessary

The quiz panels didn't feel quite as useful as the real-time tutorials

Any other thoughts you want to share

This really helped me be more confident in how to edit.

Thank you for playing. Different people learn things in different ways, so I suspect that the "challenge yourself below" parts may help others. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
