Tips for feedback
editTell 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
Please be specific if possible. If something is off about the wording, then specify exactly what should be changed, in what module. More specific feedback is more likely to get implemented.

- You did great! Remember everyone learns at different paces, so what may seem slow to you is right-on-pace for others. And, although you may be taking some additional onboarding that emphasises them, user sandboxes aren't really core to what Wikipedia is so I don't think The Wikipedia Adventure should. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:10, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
- Gotta love the irony. It's too slow paced. Next person giving feedback; it's too fast-paced. I think that tells me the pace is just right. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:48, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

edit- What I liked
I really liked how the program was structured to gradually teach Wikipedia editing along with some technical and programming-related concepts. The guidance provided by the trainers was very helpful, and the hands-on approach made it easier to understand how things work in real scenarios.
- What I didn't like
At times, some instructions felt a bit fast-paced, especially for beginners who are completely new to editing or technical concepts.
- What I wanted more of
I would have appreciated more detailed examples and a bit more time for practice, especially for advanced editing and technical sections.
- What was unnecessary
Most of the content was relevant, but a few repetitive instructions could have been reduced.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
Overall, it was a very useful and engaging program. It helped in building confidence in Wikipedia editing and gave a good introduction to technical contributions as well. Looking forward to more such programs in the future.

- Thank you for playing, and I'm happy you enjoyed the adventure. It's worth pointing out that the adventure itself includes no time constraints; you are welcome to spend as much time as you want on each step before clicking next, and you are welcome to do unguided experimentation too. Given that the previous commenter complained that the pace is too slow I think it's probably fine. Re repetitive instructions I'm happy to take specific suggestions for wording changes. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:05, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

- What I liked
That learning is made through a game, so it's somewhat less daunting
- What I didn't like
Too much info all on the same page
- What I wanted more of
A bit more straightforward directions
- What was unnecessary
the music
- Any other thoughts you want to share
I am just starting to learn so I can't really judge
--Georgia Gaida (talk) 16:56, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for playing. Re the music, nothing is forcing you to actually play it so you can just ignore it if you want. And you are welcome to proceed at your own pace so I don't think too much info on the same page is a problem either. And re directions, I am happy to take specific suggestions for how to make them more straightforward. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:08, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
