Testing helps to get to grips with this. This environment's ultimate aim is to provide the best possible testing environment for MediaWiki usage. Both for developers, hosts and for users of the MediaWiki software. Extension testing does help to get a reproducable result of an extension. This does help the user to get a feeling of control. ==== MediaWiki Testing Environment ==== What was originally the "Wikiation Extension Testing Environment" has been forked into the "MediaWiki Testing Environment". It has been forked and the development has been continued. This software is Open Source and is available under the MIT license and is available from the WMF Subversion. Changes since the fork include new documentation including documentation that is delivered with the code. The software for environments is now using information from tables for improved maintainability and for consistent implementation of standards. It is now possible to create multiple instances of an environment in one go. One important departure from the WETE is that we do not only concentrate on extensions. There is also a need to test MediaWiki itself and we have to be open for testing the underlying (LAMP et al) software as well. ==== Interaction testing automation ==== [[File:Selenium architecture diagram.svg|thumb|Selenium architecture diagram]] An automated testing environment for multiple platforms using Selenium IDE, RC, and Grid. QA testers can do step based interaction testing using Selenium IDE, then output them as a Selenium script. The scripts can be run on Selenium RC servers, which will run the tests on different platforms and browsers. The process can be integrated into the development cycle to avoid regressions. See the Selenium architecture diagram for proposed implementation. The idea of using Selenium for testing MediaWiki extensions was started a couple of years ago at Organic Design but was put on the back burner. There may be some useful ideas or code in it though, see [[OrganicDesign:Selenium]] and [[MW:Extension:Selenium]] for more information. Some example tests can be run [http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/wiki/extensions/Selenium/selenium-core/core/TestRunner.html?test=%2Fwiki%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DSpecial%3ASelenium%26suite%3DExample+Selenium+test+suite here]. ===== Setting up your environment to use the Selenium servers ===== # Ensure you have Java 1.6 or higher # [http://seleniumhq.org/download/ Download Selenium RC] ===== Testing against the selenium servers ===== After unzipping the RC download: # cd selenium-remote-control-<version> # cd selenium-python-client-driver-<version> # Add the below script as raskin-safari.py # Run the script: #: python raskin-safari.py <source lang=python> from selenium import selenium import unittest, time, re class Untitled(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.verificationErrors = [] self.selenium = selenium("raskin.usability.wikimedia.org", 4444, "*safari", "http://en.wikipedia.org/") self.selenium.start() def test_untitled(self): sel = self.selenium sel.open("/wiki/Main_Page") sel.wait_for_page_to_load(10000) def tearDown(self): self.selenium.stop() self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors) if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() </source> ===== Creating your own Selenium RC scripts ===== You can either create your scripts from scratch in selenese, or you can use [http://seleniumhq.org/download/ Selenium IDE] (a firefox plugin) to create the scripts through user interaction. ===== Test Cases ===== [[Resources/QA_Automation#SVN_Commits|A page]] to summarize the automation test scope and cases are being built.

Among more than 130,000 Wikipedians who participated in the survey, the average age of survey participants was 25.8 years old and half of the respondents were between 18 and 30 years old. Average age of readers was 25.3 years old while contributors was 26.8 years old. Two-thirds of the respondents were male and one-third was female. During the usability study, we observed the difference how the study participants among different age group interacted with editing process of Wikipedia. The objective of the Wikipedia Usability Initiative is to remove the barrier from across all age groups and gender, and it will be insightful to see how the age distribution of users especially for editors change over time. Activity Types The data provided by UNU-Merit shows that 62.55% of Wikipedia users are readers. Occasional contributors account for 24.5% and active contributors account for 9.18%. Although there are many factors and motives for users to contribute, the usability improvement of MediaWiki should help to increase the share of contributors. ===User Behavioral Metrics=== [http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm Wikipedia Statistics] has essential statistical data for the usability metrics. However the data dump of English is yet to be completed from October 2006. Once the data is available, the following metrics will help the usability team to evaluate the usability improvements of the software. It is important to track externalities, such as activity surge in specific topics, activity level of vandalism, activities by bots and etc. *[http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediansContributors.htm Contributors] Wikipedians who edited at least 10 times since they arrived. *[http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediansNew.htm New Wikipedians] Increase in wikipedians who edited at least 10 times since they arrived. :10 edits seems high entry point to be considered as a new Wikipedian.

Our average load time was a few seconds for all icons to appear. The primary issue here is that the images are loading one-after-another and are blocking all other page rendering and user interaction until they are finished. On some browsers this loading occurred once for each article, which depending on use often translated into every time the user navigated to an edit page. * Because of performance issues, the syntax highlighting only occurs when loading the edit box initially, or turning the syntax highlighting off and the on again. Depending on the user's computer and the length of the article, syntax highlighting may take anywhere from a fraction of a second to a few seconds. * Toggling between syntax-highlighted mode and plain wiki-text mode was nearly instant, unless you made a change while in plain wiki-text mode in which case you were subjected to the same syntax-highlighting wait time issue. ==== Completeness ==== Although the intended features of this software seem to be completely implemented and it's currently deployed on Wikipedia as a gadget that users can turn on through user preferences, it's lack of support for most browsers and number of known issues and incompatibilities hint that this software has a long way to go. ==== User Features ==== Although this software provides an extensive set of text manipulation features, none of the common wiki elements are abstracted by a user interface making it in most cases no better than a plain text editor. ==== Extendable ==== Although any JavaScript software naturally lends itself to extendability, there is no functionality for configuring individual components or documented API for developing such components. ==== Themable ==== Although it's possible to change images and CSS style sheets, there's no functionality for configuring individual themes and some style information is embedded within the JavaScript code itself. ==== Internationalization/Localization ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Feature ! align="left" | Support |- | UI L10n | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Alternative Input | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Double-Byte | style="color:green;" | OK |} </blockquote> === FCKeditor (Official) === <blockquote> [[File:Extension-FCKEditor.png|thumb|FCKEditor Extension running on a sandbox]] Provides a fairly robust set of features in a fully WYSIWYG environment and is based on FCKeditor which is an actively maintained in-browser XHTML WYSIWYG editor project. The target audience of this extension seems to be inexperienced users with some form of desktop-publishing experience, as the user interface is extremely similar to Microsoft Word.

A loading message was visible in the text area while the article was loaded and processed. The loading of the article seemed to be the majority of the wait once the editor had been loaded once. * Dialogs which assist the user in inserting tables, images and other elements into the article were fast, but not immediate as they required a new browser window which on many systems introduces a certain amount of overhead and thus wait time. * Switching to wiki-text mode was instant, but switching back to WYSIWYG mode took about a second each time. ==== Completeness ==== Given this software's excellent browser support and extensive list of functioning features, this software seems to have reached a fairly high level of maturity. The stability of the software benefits from a large community of active developers who are empowered by a well structured project management system where they can report bugs and submit patches quickly. This software saw some deployment on some Wikia sites for a brief period of time before they branched, and looks to be in use on many small wikis. ==== User Features ==== ==== Extendable ==== A well documented API exists for adding extra functionality to the FCKeditor and over 100 such plug-ins already exist. ==== Themable ==== There are several skins for FCKeditor which generally aim at replicating the user experience of Microsoft Office products. ==== Internationalization/Localization ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Feature ! align="left" | Support |- | UI L10n | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Alternative Input | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Double-Byte | style="color:green;" | OK |} </blockquote> === Wikia Wysiwyg === <blockquote> [[File:Extension-WikiaWysiwyg.png|thumb|Wikia Wysiwyg Extension running on a sandbox]] Provides a focused set of features which are relevant to Wiki articles in a fully WYSIWYG environment and is based on FCKeditor as it is a branch of the official FCKeditor MediaWiki extension. The target audience of this extension, similar to the official FCKeditor extension, is inexperienced users with desktop-publishing experience, however this extension greatly reduces the number of features available to the user in favor of simplifying the user interface and bringing focus to common wiki article elements. ==== Download Size ==== 41 files @ 132KB total ==== Browser Compatibility ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Browser ! align="left" | Version ! width="100" align="left" | Windows ! width="100" align="left" | Linux ! width="100" align="left" | MacOS ! width="100" align="left" | iPhone |- | Firefox | 1.5+ | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Safari | 3.0+ | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT |-- | Opera | 9.50+ | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Internet Explorer | 5.5+ | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Google Chrome | | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Camino | 1.0+ | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A |} ==== License Compatibility ==== This software is under the GPL license. ==== UI Responsiveness ==== * Although an animated loading graphic was provided to indicate to the user that the page was not ready yet, the loading time was about 8-10 seconds the first time, and 4-5 seconds on additional page loads. * The dialogs which assist users with embedding templates and various kinds of media in the article also provided an immediate visual response to clicking on the button by displaying an animated loading graphic, but would still on average take a few seconds to load. * Dialogs for links were very fast, taking only a fraction of a second to finish loading. * Switching between wiki-text and WYSIWYG mode took anywhere from a few seconds to a fraction of a second depending on whether the content was changed significantly enough to require a trip to the server for parsing or not. ==== Completeness ==== Although based on FCKeditor, this branch has made many concessions in stability and compatibility in the name of quickly implementing various usability oriented design changes and has left the resulting code detached from the FCKeditor development community. That said, this software is being deployed regularly on new Wikia projects and is being actively improved by the Wikia staff. ==== User Features ==== ==== Extendable ==== Although there is no specific documentation available for this branch of the FCKEditor, a few extensions do exist for it which seem to use the same API, indicating this software is similarly extendable. ==== Themable ==== Although the current visual style is a form of an FCKeditor skin, which speaks to the ability to theme this software, changes in the layout of the toolbar prevent this editor from being compatible with other existing FCKeditor skins, and there are currently not any skins in existence for this branch of FCKeditor. ==== Internationalization/Localization ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Feature ! align="left" | Support |- | UI L10n | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Alternative Input | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Double-Byte | style="color:green;" | OK |} </blockquote> === MeanEditor === <blockquote> [[File:Extension-MeanEditor.png|thumb|MeanEditor Extension running on a sandbox]] Provides a hybrid (visual/logical) WYSIWYM approach to editing with basic wiki-oriented features and is based on the WYMEditor project. The target audience of this extension seems to be intermediate users as it's user interface reinforces a separation between model and view which is somewhat of a foreign concept to many inexperienced users, however it may help to illustrate this concept to inexperienced users through it's visual representation of article blocks and sections. * Work being done to integrate a newer version of WYMEditor which is compatible with all browsers * Compatible with MediaWiki 1.15alpha, but requires patch to EditPage.php ==== Download Size ==== 10 files @ 120KB total ==== Browser Compatibility ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Browser ! align="left" | Version ! width="100" align="left" | Windows ! width="100" align="left" | Linux ! width="100" align="left" | MacOS ! width="100" align="left" | iPhone |- | Firefox | 2.0+ | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Safari | 3.1+ | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT |-- | Opera | 9.50+ | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Internet Explorer | 6+ | style="color:green;" | OK | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Google Chrome | | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A |-- | Camino | 1.0+ | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:silver;" | N/A | style="color:black;" | NOT | style="color:silver;" | N/A |} ==== License Compatibility ==== This software is under a mix of MIT and GPL licenses. ==== UI Responsiveness ==== * Initial loading time took a few seconds, while additional loads took around a second. The page loading is blocked while the editor initializes which makes for a somewhat disruptive visual experience. * Dialog for embedding images into the article is instant, with an animated effect that shades the editing area while working with the dialog. * Switching between XHTML and WYSIWYM modes is instantaneous. ==== Completeness ==== Although there is active development going on to improve the WYMeditor, which has resulted in browser support similar to FCKeditor and much more stable implementation of existing features, this extension has yet to become compatible with the latest version of WYMeditor leaving it in a somewhat less mature state. This software is still a work-in progress and has never been widely deployed, however there are a few developers who have been continuing to actively improve it. ==== User Features ==== ==== Extendable ==== A briefly documented API exists for adding extra functionality to the WYMeditor, but only 1 such plug-ins already exists. ==== Themable ==== There are a few themes for WYMeditor which all look to be generic styles with icons very typical of rich text editing. ==== Internationalization/Localization ==== {| cellpadding="3" border="1" cellspacing="3" |- ! align="left" | Feature ! align="left" | Support |- | UI L10n | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Alternative Input | style="color:green;" | OK |- | Double-Byte | style="color:green;" | OK |} </blockquote> === Wikiwyg === <blockquote> [[File:Extension-Wikiwyg.png|thumb|Wikiwyg Extension running on a test page]] Provides a simple WYSIWYG environment for a single section of content directly within the view mode of a page. Admittedly no longer actively supported or worked on, this extension takes a unique approach to the process of editing an article which has been validated in part by other per-section editing approaches like UniWiki's simplified editor. The target audience of this extension seems to be inexperienced users familiar with basic rich text editing like WordPad on Windows or TextEdit on MacOS as it only provides a limited set of formatting tools and enables editing in place.

The project will begin in January 2009. It will wrap up April 2010. ;'''What is its overall scope?''' The project scope will include the following: * user testing designed to identify the most common barriers to entry for first-time writers, and * a series of improvements to the MediaWiki interface, including improvements to issues identified through user testing and a focus on hiding complex elements of the user interface from people who don't use them. ;'''What is MediaWiki and how was it developed?''' MediaWiki is open source software, managed and maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation, and used by people around the world to write and edit Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. MediaWiki is also used by many thousands of other wiki sites world-wide, including ones run by Novell, Intel, Gartner, nVidia, Linden Lab, and many others. MediaWiki was first developed, by volunteers, in 2002. As of June 2008, 150 volunteers have access to the 'code base,' meaning they can make modifications and provide code improvements to the software. There are several hundred MediaWiki extensions available, and it is continually being improved by both Wikimedia staff and volunteer coders. ;'''What does the Wikimedia Foundation consider to be wrong with the editing interface right now?''' When it was first developed, MediaWiki was considered reasonably user-friendly. At that time, software wasn't as flexible and user-focussed as it is today. It's logical that by today's standards, MediaWiki may not seem to be as streamlined or user-friendly as other software. We have never systematically examined the editing interface to examine what kinds of challenges new contributors face, but we do know of certain common problems. For example, many people have difficulty creating new articles, uploading images, and editing templates, footnotes, and tables. We hope to make improvements in those areas. ;'''Who are the new contributors you are hoping to attract?''' We are hoping to attract new contributors who are just as smart and knowledgeable as the people who have always written for Wikipedia and its sister projects, but who -to date- have been unable or reluctant to participate because of the barriers posed by the interface. There are countless individuals who read Wikipedia and would be great writers/editors, but are daunted by complex wiki syntax. They may not even realize that they can edit Wikipedia. They are the people we are targeting with this project. ;'''How will an increase in participation affect the existing contributors?''' The core Wikimedia contributor community is made up of people who are very smart and well-versed in the technical aspects of the web. That will probably never change, and we don't want it to change. However, we do want to expand that community to include people who are less tech-centric, as well as demographic groups which are currently underrepresented, such as women and older people. ;'''What is the nature of the interface improvements that will be made in this project?''' In phase 1 (until late summer 2009), we will focus on reducing or eliminating common, simple barriers to entry. A possible example would be, "making the edit button more visible." These will be identified through systematic user testing, but also by surveying existing research. In phase 2 (until early 2010), we will shift our attention to identifying complex pieces of "wiki code" (the formatting language used to write Wikipedia articles) and making them less visible to first-time contributors and/or helping them achieve the respective functionality (such as adding tables) more easily. ;'''When can we expect to see the first changes to the Wikipedia interface?''' We hope to demonstrate a first series of improvements by mid-2009, with production deployment following shortly thereafter. ;'''How can the Wikimedia volunteer community be involved in this project?''' The project will be open and participatory throughout. Every major report will be publicly shared, and all code will be developed through our existing, public version control system. Volunteer developers and testers will be encouraged to contribute throughout the process. ;'''Are the positions created for this project just temporary?''' We will allocate at least two existing, budgeted developer positions to this project, and additional hires will be employed for the duration of the grant. ;'''Why don't these funds count towards your overall fundraising goals?''' The majority of the funding for this project will go towards costs not included in our 2008-09 budget. While we anticipate that the project will offset some of our operating costs, we also want to retain flexibility to reallocate funding inside the project budget as required. ;'''Are you going to localize these changes in all the languages of Wikipedia and the other projects?''' All code will be ready for localisation. ;'''Are you going to be looking at the entire editing/contribution process or just the software?''' This project focuses on technical solutions, but the user testing will aim to capture problems experienced throughout the editing process. :''<small>Source: [[foundation:Stanton Grant Q&A|Stanton Grant Q&A]]</small>'' p8zgprby77bdatt7u4p33ab63xkjydl 0 27 5018 1170 2009-12-12T23:38:46Z Kozuch 15 moved [[Links]] to [[Wikipedia Usability Initiative/Links]] 5018 wikitext text/x-wiki == Usability == * [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_group Usability group] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Usability Wikipedia-EN:WikiProject_Usability] * [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Benutzerfreundlichkeit German Wikipedia Usability WikiProject] ** [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Benutzerfreundlichkeit/Test_Februar_2006 German Wikipedia Usability test February 2006] * [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIENE German usability project for handicapped people] * ''Strengthening and unifying the visual identity of Wikimedia projects: a step towards maturity'', [[user:guillom|Guillaume Paumier]] & [[user:elian|Elisabeth Bauer]], Wikimania 2007 ([http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GPaumier-Visualidentity-WM2007-proceedings.pdf proceedings], [http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GPaumier-Visualidentity-WM2007.pdf presentation]) ** [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Skinbastler de:Benutzer:Skinbastler], related to the presentation above * Personal lists of Wikipedia usability issues: ** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AxelBoldt/Wikipedia_usability_problems en:User:AxelBoldt/Wikipedia usability problems] ** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:M/Wikipedia_usability_problems en:User:M/Wikipedia usability problems] *[http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikipedia_to_become_more_user-friendly_for_new_volunteer_writers wmf:Press releases/Wikipedia to become more user-friendly for new volunteer writers] *[http://blog.wikimedia.org/2008/12/03/improved-usability-in-our-future/ Improved usability in our future] *[http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/01/21/a-note-on-the-wikipedia-usability-initiative/ A note on the Wikipedia Usability Initiative] == Accessibility == * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accessibility Wikipedia-EN:Accessibility] (part of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style English Wikipedia's Manual of Style]) * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Accessibility Wikipedia-EN:WikiProject_Accessibility] * [http://browsershots.org/ Browser shots]<br> * W3C: [http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ css], [http://validator.w3.org/ html], [http://validator.w3.org/checklink links]<br> * [http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Checklinks Checklinks]<br> * [http://www.accesible.com.ar/examinator/ eXaminator]<br> 6ezwz35j2s3aizsjjnqjq6w3t67qscz 2 28 97 2009-02-13T15:30:01Z Siebrand 17 Created page with '{{#babel:nl|en-3}}[http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Siebrand Siebrand @ translatewiki.net]' 97 wikitext text/x-wiki {{#babel:nl|en-3}}[http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Siebrand Siebrand @ translatewiki.net] 867aif2zqt4j5q7gm5fb3q1gclmpwti 0 29 101 2009-02-13T21:16:58Z GerardM 5 Created page with 'Not all browsers are equally able to show extended Latin characters.

I'm interested in MediaWiki and especially MediaWiki's usability as I often see how developers focus too much on the developer point of view on the software. No offense, really. I have great respect for the people developing MediaWiki and I admire their work. But nobody is perfect and sometimes I believe they tend to favor consistency over usability. Sure, consistency is very important. But let's never forget for whom the software is written: for the users. One example: I opened [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16950 Bug 16950] over one month ago and sadly did not get any response yet. The bug is an enhancement request, so that when creating/viewing a previously moved, but now deleted page, the move log is shown (at the moment only the deletion log is shown). If the user searches for an article that has been moved to somewhere else with <tt>suppressredirect</tt>, then this information is not displayed. <span style="font-size:80%;">(The technical reason is this: Page A with title a gets moved to title b. The redirect from title a to title b is suppressed. As Page A has now title b and there is no page associated with title a, if the user tries to find out where Page A went, he's not going to be successful. The deletion log is empty, as Page A has been moved, not deleted, and there has been no redirect that has been deleted. The information is only stored in the move log... which is not linked in any way.)</span> The information where the article went after is hidden somewhere in the logs... and it takes some skill to find it. <span style="font-size:80%;">(Actually, if you use the standard user interface, you have to click on "Special pages"->"Logs"->enter Title and select "move log" and press "Go". Not really intuitive, I do not expect any newbie to find this.)</span> ''Showing information where it is needed is important.'' Anyway, I'd be interested to hear more about the usability project and how to contribute.

Edits by the latter are recorded as IP addresses. Some IP addresses belong to multiple people (for example, a couple of years ago, a single IP that represented an ''entire country'' - because that's the way the ISP had set it up - was temporarily blocked by a Wikipedia administrator); some are dynamic. Any survey ought to be distinguish between the two types of editors. (And yes, a few long-time editors do use only an IP address, though this is quite rare.) *While the Wikipedia database contains all edits (with the possible exception of oversighted edits), when an article is deleted, that edit no longer is visible via the Special:Contributions page. It's not clear that this makes that much difference, population-wise (when sampling), but since more than a thousand articles are deleted every day, and since the majority of these (I'm fairly sure) were created by new editors, it's possible that there are a lot o cases where what looks like (say) an editor's second edit is really his/her twelfth, if (for example) he/she did ten edits in one or two new articles that was/were speedily deleted. [[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] 00:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC) *You definitely need to make sure that bots aren't in the sample; they often have very high edit counts, but since they aren't actually ''human beings'', they are irrelevant to the quality of the user interface. More problematical is editors who use specialized tools, typically for vandal fighting or doing mass cleanup of typographical or other common errors. These tools (Twinkle, Huggle, WikiCleaner, etc.) have their own user interface. (Such edits usually do contain a link to the tool that was used.)

I believe there are some very basic administrative / wiki-creation aspects of usability that should be tackled by this project -- some of the most important changes to usability that could be made from the perspective of new groups adopting MW. A detailed look into interfaces and extensions for already-created wikis might miss this. '''Database and new-wiki creation''' # Ease of adding interwiki links / defining a new wiki in a wiki-set #: For example, there is apparently no interwiki (such as <nowiki>[[usability:foo]]</nowiki>) for this wiki. Part of the creation process for new wikis should ask if a new wiki is part of a family (you are already asked whether you want a database prefix-extension so that multiple wiki tables can be kept in one database) and let you define an interwiki abbreviation. # Ease of adding inte'''''Bold text'''''rlanguage links / defining a family of languages for a wiki #: In a similar fashion to the above, one should be able to clone a wiki and make a new one in a different language. One might even want to be able to preserve all creation- and database-preferences from the initial wiki when making the second. '''Login and user privileges''' # Ease of modifying options on the login/account-creation screen #: This should be some sort of site-admin preference. # Ease of generating a set of user powers/tools #: The options for what sets of user groups one wants to create should be similarly easy to set # Definition of 'newbie editor', and restrictions on same #: Spam control is a major preoccupation and overhead cost for wikis. Adding a decent set of default spam extensions is important. So is restricting new editors from higher privileges (page moving, editing semi-protected pages). The definition of 'new' is currently set in LocalSettings, but is a sensible thing to tweak during high-vandalism periods : a good site-admin preference. '''Passing changes upstream''' # How should a local wiki store its changes to site interface strings? How should it pass [some of] these back to the core MediaWiki stringset? The default MediaWiki stringset should certainly be different from the default Wikipedia stringset. Where is it (in all of its languages) kept? # If I have a new extension installed on my system, how can I submit it for addition to the library of MW extensions? #; There should be a simple way, even from within MW's interface, to a) check for updates, and b) submit it for inclusion. Feel free to add more to the above. [[User:Sj|Sj]] 23:36, 11 August 2009 (UTC) == Localisation == Here is an excerpt from the [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/StantonGrantQA FAQ] : :'''Are you going to localize these changes in all the languages of Wikipedia and the other projects?''' : :''All code will be ready for localisation.'' (FAQ) There was a talk on the French Bistro, on January 14th : [[:fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro/19 janvier 2009#Simplicité, modèles et références]] about "simplicity, templates and references". The example which was mentioned was the code in [http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chesley_Sullenberger&action=edit this encyclopedic article]. Especially parts of the code like <nowiki><ref name=""""...">""" and {{cite news}}</nowiki> are frowned upon. The latter, which is a template, could be easily translated into French by the French speaking community. But <nowiki><ref name=""""..."></nowiki>""" cannot be translated into French at present time. In French it should become something like <réf nom="...">. This seems nothing for computer-litterate English-litterate French people/French speaking people, but perhaps we should start thinking about doing something about that if we want to reduce barriers for newcomers. === Usability in other languages === What's with users, who dont speak english? Is the project in several languages? ---[[User:Ralf Roletschek|Ralf Roletschek]] 05:18, 23 February 2009 (UTC) :I think there should be a multilingual suggestion page, where everyone can bring in new ideas and discuss them. --[[User:Church of emacs|Church of emacs]] <small>[[User talk:Church of emacs|talk]]</small> 10:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC) == Editing interface == It is difficult to read the code of a long article especially when the article is well documented or includes an infobox. The creation of an interface based on several windows for different kind of information could help to find the right place to change or to add text. [[en:user:Magnus]] developed a nice interface which divides the text into three windows (see [[en:User:Magnus_Manske/less_edit_clutter.js]]). The improvement of such a tool can reduce the complexity of an article especially if it is possible to develop a MediaWiki version of the references system of Latex: in the main text only tag will be used and the references will be edited in a specific window perhaps using a form. Then use of colors to detect html or template code can be interesting too. [[User:Snipre|Snipre]] 22:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC) === Why not a full-fledged, WYSIWYG word processor? === It's always puzzled me, but why has nobody tried to implement a full-fledged, [[w:WYSIWYG|WYSIWYG]] word processor as the editing interface for a wiki, and dispense altogether with textual representation? Of course, it'd have to be augmented with features for link/page creation and management. But that's true of any editing interface. I realize this is a larger project than any text-based or pseudo-WYSIWYG editor, but why not the best? And, why not adopt some existing, high-quality, web-based word processor to do the job? : The generated output of WYSIWYG editors tends to be difficult to read and full of redundant fluff. Some idiot would use it on a template page and then we'd all be screwed. [[Special:Contributions/87.194.147.203|87.194.147.203]] 14:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC) === What about XML? === You may wish you check out [http://www.jorsek.com Jorsek.com]. They have a web based WYSIWYG xml editor which looks very slick and easy to use. It would allow the constraints that wiki-text provides to keep things consistent while guiding the editing user through the document creation process. Also new elements could be incorporated very easily, like image galleries, and schemas can be used to keep all documents valid. Not to mention its a step in the right direction towards linked data / semantic web. === Google Docs Editor Style === They have a pretty clean style (looks really nice) for their WYSIWYG. have a look [http://docs.google.com here].--[[User:Alnokta|Alnokta]] 17:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC) === Make the 'edit' button blue, like on the French Wikipedia? === Hello, I would be interested, what are other people's opinions on changing the colour of the edit button at the top of the English Wikipedia so that it is similiar to that of the French Wikipedia? You can see this attrubute on the 'modifier' button at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portail:Arts. :The need of colouring the edit-tab shows that the monobook-skin is crowed with too much information and links (sidebar,...). Furthermore it shows that the tabs are very inconspicuous. Also the current vector-skin in my opinion has lacks in making the edit-button more visible for newcomers (mentonied in the german usability studie). I think the grouping of the tabs (page and discussion vs. read, edit and view history) is well done. However, the position of the read, edit and view history buttons is not very well-thought-out. As they are very close to the search field, newcomers could think that those tabs have a connection with the search field (just first impression without reading the text). Moving the mentioned groups closer together leads to the problem that the grouping is not noticeable anymore.

I've seen many, many cases where software that was once built very well became unbearably unusable due to what they call software "enhancements". This is usually because at some point, the software became well-known enough to make some money, or in this case, a donation. Also, it isn't specificed how user testing will be done. but if we're talking computer-generated tracking and analysis, please note that user input should come first. Just look how well built English Wikipedia's infrastructure of templates is built, that was all made by going hand in hand with user suggestions. I direct this message at all participants of this project to ask two things: * '''Always''' leave users the option to disable any enhancements through their personal user prefrences. Even when you're absolutely sure no user can benefit of how a feature worked before you improved it, there will be some that will oppose the update greatly. * '''Take it slow''', don't rush improvements for the sake of enhancement, sometimes simplicity and logic overpower the latest study or user testing.

(while, the new English version does have them). I have no idea why they disappeared for mk.wiki! This means the entire thing is useless, when people can't even have the most fundamental functions like internal linking, categories etc. What should be done?

Apart from reducing ease of use (more clicks required, search box in the wrong place, etc) it's ugly and uncomfortable to read. And the tabs just make the pages look like they aren't fully rendered.

[[Special:Contributions/72.229.55.107|72.229.55.107]] 01:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC) == Autonumbering across table columns == Is this the right place to ask for a coding enhancement...? When I have a numbered list which is getting too long, I may wish to split it up into table columns: # Alpha # Bravo # Charley # Delta # ... In a 6-column table, this becomes: {| |--- valign = "top" | # Alpha # Bravo # Charley # Delta # Echo | # Foxtrot # Golf # Hotel # India # Juliett | # Kilo # Lima # Mike # November # Oscar | # Papa # Quebec # Romeo # Sierra # Tango | # Uniform # Victor # Whiskey # X-ray # Yankee | # Zulu |--- |} This way, the numbering restarts in each column, which is obviously not intended. A brief look at the HTML code generated shows that the &lt;ol&gt; and &lt;/ol&gt; tags are placed '''within''' each table cell, which explains this behaviour. If I may suggest a solution, a simple one would be to define a new tag pair, say, &lt;longlist&gt; and &lt;/longlist&gt;. When these are placed before and after the entire table, then the &lt;ol&gt; and &lt;/ol&gt; would still be placed within each cell, but the opening one would be automatically modified into &lt;ol start = "n"&gt;, where ''n'' is the correct starting number (= the number of items counted so far, plus one). If this does not work for any reason dictated by HTML, another solution might be to have the Wiki interpreter do the actual item counting and produce a &lt;ul&gt; - &lt;/ul&gt; list within each table cell with the numbering insterted by the Wiki interpreter.

One of these days a new surface appeared and I guess that comes from this project. I am personnally not too fond of it but found out that I can choose a surface similar to the old one (although not the same!). Now I discover a problem that the tutorials we have all refer to the "old buttons". But new users start automatically in the changed surface. I do not think it was ok to push these changes on everybody and also on us without consultation. For us it means that we have to rework all tutorials and check where we have to make changes in explanations. As many of our Swahili users are not too computer savy it is a problem when tutorial says "search window on the left" and now it is different. ETc. We have too few active people and too much work to start unnecessary jobs because of well meant but for our situation not thought-through actions which are being forced on us. So who is the one who switch that feature off for our wikipedia?

The original title became a disambiguation page, and the article itself got a modified name. So I used the "What links here" page to find out all link references to the old name (i.e., now the disambiguation page). Frome these actions, a suggestion arose on two possible improvements on the ''What links here'' page. As these two improvements are related to eacht other, I describe them here in one topic. ;1. Adding a selection option ''Show/hide references in templates'' Currectly, there are three selection links, viz. ''Show/hide transclusions'', ''Show/hide links'' and ''Show/hide redirects''. What I am missing here, is another selection, ''Show/hide references in tempates''. Navigation and other templates containing many links to related articles are often used at the bottom of a page, and/or in a sidebar. Several of these links may of course also be referred to in the articles themselves. By ''showing'' the references in templates and ''hiding'' all other references, one may quickly find the referencees in templates and modify them first. A refresh of the ''What links here page'' will in many cases now show a much shorter list of references. As a practical implementation, this will probably reduce to showing or hiding all references in the ''Template:'' namespace. There may be external tools to do this, but it would be much simpler if an extra selection criterion were available here. I have checked whether I might have misunderstood how you use the term "transclusion". But as far as I understand, this only refers to those references where the current page is being transcluded into another page, or in other words, the current page is being used elsewhere as a kind of a template. What I am referring to, however, is the reverse situation, i.e., references to the current page ''from within'' templates. ;2. Changing the selection links to checkboxes and one activation link or button If one wants to only show one of the three (or four) categories, one has to click and wait for the page refreshing twice (or three times). At times when the internet is slow, this may take relatively much time. If instead one could just select the checkboxes of the categories wanted, only one page refresh would suffice, which is much faster.

My initial concept is that we look at how much of each edit made is still there after a certain period of time. Another consideration may be to give more weight to edits that remained after a large number of other edits were made - as opposed to edits which remain, but are one of the most recent edits so it's unclear if anyone has even noticed them yet. The logic in this weight would be that the more edits occur following a particular edit, the more likely the particular edit was of a high enough quality it no longer warranted attention. I am open to variations on this concept, as well as any other ideas on how we might quantitatively measure the quality of edits being made. [[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 21:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC) :The most fundamental question as far as quality goes is whether an edit was ''reverted''; those that are reverted are almost always vandalism or similar problematic edits (using an article as a "sandbox" for testing, for example). Ideally the Wikipedia database would have a hash total for page versions the way it does now for images (for images, this detects duplicates), but this hasn't been implemented; still, there are ways to do this - see, for example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Revert_Rate.png this graph]. :After that, while it is possible to measure how long any given text lasts (see [http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~reid/papers/group282-priedhorsky.pdf this academic paper], for example), that raises the question of ''So what?''. Suppose the results of the number crunching are: {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" ! width="100" style="border-bottom:solid 1px silver;" | Survivability of edits ! colspan="4" style="border-bottom:solid 1px silver" | Editor group (number of edits in July 2008, excluding reverts of vandalism) |-- ! style="border-right:solid 1px silver;" | ! width="150" align="left" | 1 - 9 ! width="150" align="left" | 10 - 99 ! width="150" align="left" | 100 - 999 ! width="150" align="left" | 1000+ |-- | style="border-right:solid 1px silver;" | Less than one month | 60% | 30% | 15% | 10% |-- | style="border-right:solid 1px silver;" | One to three months | 30% | 30% | 30% | 30% |-- | style="border-right:solid 1px silver;" | More than three months | 10% | 40% | 55% | 60% |} What ''actionable'' conclusions would be able to be drawn from data like the above? That less frequent editors aren't added stuff that's as of good quality as high-volume editors? (Again, ''so what?'') Or suppose the data shows that there isn't much variation in quality among the groups - what implications does that have for usability - that there are no problems with it? [[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] 17:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC) == Improving Wikipedia's accuracy: Is edit age a solution? == From the abstract for the [http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117356361/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 article of that title] (December 2007): :Overall, the results do not provide support for the idea of trusting surviving segments attributed to older edits because such edits tend to add more material and hence contain more errors which do not seem to be offset by greater opportunities for error correction by later edits.

I'm a [http://www.bch.msu.edu/faculty/wedemeyer.htm professor] in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at [[:en:Michigan State University|Michigan State University]] (MSU). My laboratory uses computational and experimental methods to study protein structure, and to investigate the molecular forces and events involved in folding and self-assembly. I'm interested in making Wikimedia projects easier for newcomers to edit, and easier for established editors as well. ==Tutorials== Once we establish a more hospitable interface for newcomers, we should create a set of screencasts and podcasts to introduce them. I created several for the recent workshop with the American Society for Cell Biology, but those will have to be revamped. People here might be interested in the topics that took longest to convey to the scientists at the workshop. It seemed as though images, tables and inline citations were the hardest topics. On the simplest level, you might make it easier for naive editors to find relevant images with which to illustrate an article, perhaps by exploiting parallel categories between the Commons and the article being edited. ==Drag'n'drop and HotCat analogs== You might consider developing tools for dragging and dropping elements in a WYSIWYG fashion. At the simplest level, editors might highlight a phrase and move it to another location, similar to common editing software. Images, tables and other such elements could be rearranged in this way as well. You could restrict such elements to fall between paragraphs. ;HotCat.js HotCat.js is an example of a script that makes it easy for newcomers to add categories. We might consider adopting a similar approach for adding images, tables, new sections, inline references and other "difficult" elements. A few months ago, I drafted "toy models" of such scripts on my user account on the English Wikipedia. The above restriction on re-arrangement of elements can also pertain to their addition. For example, the user interface can ensure that images and table are always created between paragraphs. Similarly, inline citations can always be added at the end of sentences, although they may be re-arranged afterwards. The usability initiative is a good opportunity to introduce convenient editing tools. But those tools can also be cleverly designed to get editors in good habits of editing. ;Images I'd advocate a mechanism for duplicating an image from an article and expanding it. The image size is usually dictated by the MediaWiki rendering software, but this may make elements (especially letters and words) too small to be legible. Allowing images to be cloned and expanded allows us to reconcile the needs for consistent rendering and legibility for readers. The present link to the original image serves a similar purpose, but is less than ideal. ;Tables Tables are particularly difficult for new editors to master. We might consider a tool by which editors can create an empty ''m''-by-''n'' table. After that, the tool could help them to WYSIWYG-edit individual cells within a created table by clicking on them and adding text. As an aside, it would be nice to have sort-able tables in which the column layout was more flexible. It often occurs that a table has many narrow columns and one wide one for extended commentary (see, for example, TV episode tables on the English Wikipedia, or the [[:w:List of scientific publications by Albert Einstein]]). It would be nice to arrange those narrow elements on one row with the extended commentary beneath, but have them all sort-able. ==Surfeit of help pages?== On the one hand, we don't have enough materials to train new editors; on the other, we have an embarrassment of riches: too many redundant help, tutorial, and policy pages. It would be better if there was "one-stop-shopping" for newcomer help. I'd recommend developing an intelligent front-end, where newcomers can pose their questions in natural language and then be directed to the relevant policy pages. I began writing such a help script for the English Wikipedia to illustrate the concept, but it's very primitive. ==Acronymia== A minor (?) problem for newcomers is getting acclimatized to the jungle of initialisms that pepper converations on Wikipedia, such as NOR, NPOV and thousands of others. I wrote a script to translate these acronyms into plain(er) English. Although it translates hundreds of acronyms, there's more in common use. The script also identifies acronyms for which it doesn't yet have a translation. ==Accessibility== I've developed a few scripts on the English Wikipedia for accessibility, usually in consultation with User:Graham87, a blind user. Although I strongly favor improving accessibility, my sense is that the Stanton grant is intended for improvements that make editing easier for newcomers in general -- is that correct? ==Good slogans== There seems to be a contest for cool slogans at [[Slogans]]. ;) Some of them focus on usability issues, which I think might be a red herring; easy-to-use software should be as invisible as the oxygen we breathe. I'd focus instead on the Foundation's mission and some of the things that might attract people to contribute: * A marketplace of ideas * A Platonic symposium * A friendly conversation with fellow enthusiasts h9ufmauyjfeu1czingemrcwrqabwkm1 2 100 1823 323 2009-07-02T19:53:28Z Steven Walling 111 1823 wikitext text/x-wiki See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Steven_Walling my en.wiki user page] m4k0v6nx8tcz7tppouljo1myyj6huwo 2 101 9847 326 2015-04-17T01:24:44Z Maintenance script 2755 Maintenance script moved page [[User:Mejarc]] to [[User:Mejarc~usabilitywiki]] without leaving a redirect: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "[[Special:CentralAuth/Mejarc|Mejarc]]" to "[[Special:CentralAuth/Mejarc~usabilitywiki|Mejarc~us... 9847 wikitext text/x-wiki See my [[Wikipedia:User:Mejarc|user page]] on Wikipedia (EN). f6ypf5aa03ggnu10ictkcgt19hnk28d 2 103 9713 334 2015-04-17T01:24:23Z Maintenance script 2755 Maintenance script moved page [[User:Bitbit]] to [[User:Bitbit~usabilitywiki]] without leaving a redirect: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "[[Special:CentralAuth/Bitbit|Bitbit]]" to "[[Special:CentralAuth/Bitbit~usabilitywiki|Bitbit~us... 9713 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 2 104 336 2009-03-07T19:10:47Z Stepshep 117 New page: [[Wikipedia:User:Stepshep|See my English Wikipedia account]] 336 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Wikipedia:User:Stepshep|See my English Wikipedia account]] 3s29vy6d3cle8by7eil4baa6rayx327 3 105 337 2009-03-07T19:10:56Z Stepshep 117 New page: [[Wikipedia:User:Stepshep|See my English Wikipedia account to contact me]] 337 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Wikipedia:User:Stepshep|See my English Wikipedia account to contact me]] juent2pcoqu0q5zn9cmbgjf9dt4wctg 2 106 340 2009-03-08T16:39:34Z Michaeldsuarez 120 Hi 340 wikitext text/x-wiki Hi he0da0q8s1r2umjl1vwjjxep15c52yo 2 107 9738 9396 2015-04-17T01:24:26Z Maintenance script 2755 Maintenance script moved page [[User:Docu (usurped)]] to [[User:Docu (usurped)~usabilitywiki]] without leaving a redirect: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "[[Special:CentralAuth/Docu (usurped)|Docu (usurped)]]" to "[[Special:CentralAut... 9738 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Wikipedia:User:Docu]] 4gdt4iu1ecf1pk3crc5s3q41bdncp0f 3 108 9977 9739 2015-04-17T04:42:55Z MediaWiki message delivery 2753 Renamed 9977 wikitext text/x-wiki Please use [[Wikipedia:User talk:Docu]] == Your account will be renamed == <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> Hello, The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 18:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC) == MediaWiki compatability == This is a misnomer as we are talking about MediaWiki software. What you refer to is compatibility to the latest version of MediaWiki running the English Wikipedia. This is very much a moving target. You cannot categorically state that compatibility is the case. You need to test again when MediaWiki is updated on en.wp AND you have to test with an installation that has the same revisions for the extensions as well. Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 08:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC) : Our intention to capture this information has not changed, however the importance of showing it in a purely quantitative chart has been reconsidered. [[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 18:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC) == 1.15 compatibility should be irrelevant == When you compare the different tools, you compare functionality. The functionality that is the most usable should be selected and when it means that you have to upgrade the code, that is what you do. Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 11:05, 18 March 2009 (UTC) : 1.15 compatibility is listed as evaluation criteria for informational purposes, and it will not be treated as hard requirement. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] 16:39, 18 March 2009 (UTC) : What we're trying to capture with the information about MediaWiki compatibility is how much we would have to upgrade the code to make it work with the latest release. In a hypothetical situation where two extensions are equal in all areas, except one of them is compatible with the latest MediaWiki version and the other is compatible with 1.01, the preference would be to go with the version that is more up to date, because we would have to spend less time bringing up to date. For the time being we've removed Compatibility from the main evaluation table because it's covered in the Completeness category, but the information is covered in the details section for each extension. --[[User:Arash Boostani|Arash Boostani]] 20:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC) == "we compare with the version in SVN" == The notion that the software is in the Wikimedia Foundation's SVN is not necessarily correct.

[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 23:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC) == wikEd comments == "''Users on slower internet connections may experience a very disturbing amount of load time as the icon images are synchronously fetched. Our average load time was a few seconds for all icons to appear. The primary issue here is that the images are loading one-after-another and are blocking all other page rendering and user interaction until they are finished. On some browsers this loading occurred once for each article, which depending on use often translated into every time the user navigated to an edit page.''" : As with every image on a web page, these have to be loaded once and are then kept in the cache. They should not load again for every edit page. Please could you provide more details about this image loading issue on the wikEd discussion / bug page so that it can be fixed. "''Because of performance issues, the syntax highlighting only occurs when loading the edit box initially, or turning the syntax highlighting off and the on again. Depending on the user's computer and the length of the article, syntax highlighting may take anywhere from a fraction of a second to a few seconds. Toggling between syntax-highlighted mode and plain wiki-text mode was nearly instant, unless you made a change while in plain wiki-text mode in which case you were subjected to the same syntax-highlighting wait time issue.''" : Syntax highlighting delays are usually only noticed on very long articles and it is automatically turned off in case it takes longer than 2 seconds. Also, the highlighting is currently being overhauled and will probably be considerably sped up. "''Completeness: Although the intended features of this software seem to be completely implemented and it's currently deployed on Wikipedia as a gadget that users can turn on through user preferences, it's lack of support for most browsers and number of known issues and incompatibilities hint that this software has a long way to go.''" : The incompatibility for MS IE depends only on their missing support for the standard range object, as soon as this is provided in an upcoming release, wikEd will work in this browser. Which "known issues and incompatibilities" are you talking about? Most of them are probably either design decisions, browser limitations, or can be fixed quickly if somebody points them out on the wikEd discussion page. There is also a description for how to make user scripts and gadgets that alter the standard textarea compatible with wikEd under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd#Making_scripts_compatible_with_wikEd. "''User Features: Although this software provides an extensive set of text manipulation features, none of the common wiki elements are abstracted by a user interface making it in most cases no better than a plain text editor.''" : wikEd just uses a different approach to what the commenter favorizes, but this approach is is clearly better than plain text as judging by the thousands of people using it. I and others simply consider most "abstractions" (i.e. popups or separate editing areas for every content-containing wiki code element) from the wiki text as worse than plain text ;-) "''Extendable : Although any JavaScript software naturally lends itself to extendability, there is no functionality for configuring individual components or documented API for developing such components.''" : Customization and extendability is described in detail on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd_customization and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd_development#wikEd_API. The full set of customizations and options can be found on top of the code. wikEd supports custom buttons and functions and is highly customizable. "''Themable: Although it's possible to change images and CSS style sheets, there's no functionality for configuring individual themes and some style information is embedded within the JavaScript code itself.''" : wikEd's supports alternative skins, themes, and CSS styling. Only the default/fallback configuration is bundled with the code. [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] 04:27, 12 July 2009 (UTC) == Desktop publishing experience == As someone who actually has some desktop publishing experience, I would like to point out that most users ''don't''' have desktop publishing experience. Most users have type writer experience. They will use the carriage return at the end of lines; know how to change the font (ribbon/disk) to get a different style of lettering. This is significantly different from desktop publishing where users create and apply styles that are simple and consistent throughout the interface. I would suggest reading "[http://www.i3g.hs-heilbronn.de/attach/Ver%C3%B6ffentlichungen/What+you+see+is+Wiki.pdf What you see is Wiki - Questioning WYSIWYG in the Internet Age]" for an introduction to [[w:WYSIWYM|WYSIWYM]]. [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 17:19, 24 July 2009 (UTC) :I am far from convinced by your article as to the superiority of WYSIWYM over WYSIWYG editors. In fact, a WYSIWYG editor with a well designed user interface can lead users to use the right (but hidden) markups : for example if the "title" button is more prominent than the "font-size" one, people won't be tempted to use big font-size and underlines to mark a title (like what usually happens in word). Also, being based on the wiki mark-up language, the editor won't allow pictures to be moved anywhere like in Word, they will remain in the standard place, unless the user find the right menu/button to do whatever he wants to do. The mark-up language ensures that what you Mean and what you Get stay the same. :On the efficiency front, editing a wiki useally leads to at least some degree of trial and error thus losing the time gained on not having to use buttons. Also, software like word allow a lot of keyboard shortcuts removing the time lost on buttons. And for the expert wiki users, nothing prevent a WYSIWYG editor from optionally displaying markups. :I'm not sure what you mean by "Most users have type writer experience" but in my 2009 world no one use a type writer anymore and every one has used at least once a Word-like software.--[[User:Ryk V|Ryk V]] 00:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC) ::In my experience have seen users: ::* Use spaces to center text ::* Ignore the numbering and bulleting button (including a PhD student/professor also the adviser to the college newspaper) ::* Hitting Return multiple times to create a page break ::* Manually sorting lists ::So more or less they're treating Word as a proportional typewriter with spellchecker (and not everyone likes the spellchecker). ::Now a WYSIWYG ''means'' that markup is hidden, if it wasn't then it would be a WYSIWYM editor. The problem with hiding it is that users will never learn it. This is not unlike hiding keyboard shortcuts (like they were Easter Eggs) to "prevent" confusing users, that Microsoft did until Office 2007. Also, in versions before Office 2007 the style formatter was on the same prominence as the font size, but I still need to show users that it exists. ::Now the point I was trying to make was the most users don't have desktop publishing experience.

'''Evaluation''' Full support for a specific browser on a specific platform gives 1 point, partial support gives 0.5 points and no support gives 0 points. Maximum number of points in the scope of this survey is 12. == License Compatibility == '''Rationale''' MediaWiki is under the GPLv2 open source license and any software contributions need to be under similar or compatible license. '''Evaluation''' A license compatible with integration into GPLv2 software is required to pass. == Download Size == '''Rationale''' Conserving bandwidth is important not only for our own servers but also for users who are connected to the internet via low-bandwidth connections, making less information needed to be transmitted mutually beneficial. '''Evaluation''' The total number of kilobytes of information including JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and images above what is already present through MediaWiki. == UI Responsiveness == '''Rationale''' The ability of the editor to respond to user actions quickly is an important factor in usability and user adoption. '''Evaluation''' This category will be evaluated using a low, medium, high rating. Factors include: * Are there page refreshes that the user has to wait for between certain actions? * Is Ajax used to make the user experience more fluid, and if so, is the performance crisp and responsive? * Is there a lag when the editor is loading? * Is there a lag when edits are saved? == Completeness == '''Rationale''' MediaWiki extensions are in various states of the development lifecycle. If an extension is in use in multiple instances or has had some releases that have allowed it to be more stabile and mature, then it will require less time and effort to make it ready for wider use. '''Evaluation''' This category will be evaluated using a low, medium, high rating. Factors include: * Is a stabile version of the extension available? * Has the extension been successfully deployed on one or more sites with significant traffic? * Is there active development on the extension? * Is there an active community of developers working on improving the functionality or stability? == User Features == '''Rationale''' A MediaWiki article contains a wide range of elements, i.e. images, text, links, tables, templates, video, etc... An editor that provides a WYSIWYG interface to add as many of these element types as possible is preferred. '''Evaluation''' In its existing stable version, how many of the standard MediaWiki element types can a user add or modify via a graphical interface? This category will be rated based on support for handling the following elements. 1 point is given for providing a way to add and manipulate the element with a graphical user interface, 1/2 point is given for providing a read-only visualization of the element. * Headings * Internal Links * External Links * Inline formatting (bold, italic, etc.) * Section formatting (paragraph, preformatted, blockquote, etc.) * Lists and indentation * Tables * Templates * Images * Video == Extendable == '''Rationale''' It's expected that additional features will be added in the future, making the prior existence of an expendable architecture valuable. '''Evaluation''' If the software has a modular architecture which lends itself to adding or removing features without having to make significant modifications to the core software. == Themable == '''Rationale''' Integration into MediaWiki's theme system would ideally require modification of isolated user interface resources and not core software. '''Evaluation''' If user interface resources isolated from the core software. == Internationalization/Localization == '''Rationale''' Given MediaWiki's use in over 250 different languages, the software needs to be compatible with different languages. '''Evaluation''' This category will be evaluated by the software's support for specific features. * Does the software provide a way to localize user-interface messages such as icon tool-tips and selective text labels? * Does the software support alternative text input? * Does the software support double-byte text? t9hd3yhbydgczgm71ecfs74iuvsrpq7 0 141 2039 1454 2009-07-15T14:27:55Z 199.200.10.1 that's my site.

There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that organizations which award grants may not be comfortable with other potential grantees drawing conclusions or making incorrect assumptions based on grant proposals awarded in the past, and grantees needing to protect private information (sometimes individuals are named in the grant proposal, recommendations are given, budgets include specific salary assumptions, etc.). I would like us to challenge some of these assumptions over time, but this is something that you only want to raise as a grantee when a relationship has matured and some successful projects have been executed with a funder, not when both organizations are still in the getting-to-know-you stage. For this reason, as is common practice, the full grant proposal is confidential, and we've tried to give some reasonable high-level information in the FAQ, etc., which derive directly from the proposal. But, most of the substantial planning documents developed in the course of the initiative will be public.--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 18:42, 31 March 2009 (UTC) ::::::If this is about private information, salaries etc. remove them and publish the text without them.

But how can I participate as a community member, when I don't really know, what the initiative wants to achieve? All I know is: "improve usability on Wikipedia". The initiative is focussed on English Wikipedia (the outcome will be applied to all projects, but at least the development phase is focussed on en:). Is this focus already part of the grant or is it a measure of pragmatism? For things like that, I want to know the original grant. ::::::::I don't want to see a full scan of the original document or anything like that.

Sometimes when i get a little bit angry words just pops out but the secounds later i will take all back, but if i can get back my account on the swedish wikipedia site i will never do something stupid like that again. If you people could say to the swedish wikipedia site that Aggelius is sorry and could get me back to business it would be everything. I have realy done so much to the swedish wikipedia site from 1 week back. And this is a part of my life. I realy wanna do this for a way of life.

When you double click on a word with the intention of creating a link with it, the browser for some reason also includes the space following the word too. This means that if you double-click on the word "prototype" whilst editing and then click the "link" icon, the new dialogue pops up and says "page does not exist" because the software is searching for a page called <nowiki>[[prototype_]] not [[prototype]]</nowiki>. This is misleading and annoying, it makes us look like we don't have articles on perfectly normal things. Do you see what I mean? Is there a way of forcing the browser to only include the word when you double-click, and not the subsequent space too?? [[User:Witty lama|Witty lama]] 04:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC) : I dont have a solution but I do know that this is browser dependant. IIRC, on a Mac, Safari chooses to include a space or not based on the surroundings of the word (sometimes chooses badly). Firefox never picks a space just the word. Don't know about other browsers on other operating systems.

In my own private (and admittedly not statistically good) UX survey I asked the person to add a link from the article to a different article. Interestingly, they completely misunderstood the texts "target page or URL" and "text to display". Instead, they wrote the article name in the bottom box and the word they wanted to display in the top box. Can I suggest that the link dialogue box is not yet clear for newbies - especially non-technical ones. I understand that it is a lot better and it is impossible to please everyone. Can I suggest you investigate: # reversing the order of the dialogue box so that the "text to display" is on top and "target page" is on the bottom. # changing the wording of the dialogue fields, "target page" is pretty meaningless for non-techies. You might want to also add in an example for each to demonstrate what is meant. # if someone puts in a full-URL to a wiki page (instead of simply putting in the article name) the software recognise this and automatically (and silently) reformat the text to just the article name.

Rich editing interface may be an alternative interface to the simple editing interface, but shouldn't replace it as it breaks the KISS principle, and as the simple interface is supported by more browsers. *It breaks many scripts, and make it much harder to write new scripts (to parse the text in iframe?!) *It cause many bugs and make the editing interface much harder to maintain: undo/redo bugs (e.g: when using toolbar buttons), copy&paste bugs ([[#Paste issues]], [[#Two bugs]]). It may also be a security risk, as there are many iframe security bugs in browsers, which can't happen in textarea. Please return the simple textarea.

[[User:ערן|ערן]] 11:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC) : Allthough the transition to using an HTML IFrame in place of an HTML Textarea will require working out some bugs, it's not true that the textarea "supported by more browsers". In fact, we found very early on that the textarea had it's own share of issues, and since we knew we were eventually going to need something more powerful, we made the transition early to get a head-start on sorting the bugs out and also to stop wasting time trying to fix bugs in the textarea implementation just to throw it out altogether. A good example of the kinds of bugs that we encountered in the HTML Textarea would be that it's impossible to get an accurate scroll position from the cursor position in all browsers. Beyond that, and other similar limitations, we knew we were going to be implementing template collapsing, which would require the placement of stylized and interactive controls, side by side with the plain wiki-text, and in future releases we will likely begin using syntax highlighting to help visually differentiate the markup from the content. All this adds up to an absolute necessity to migrate to an HTML IFrame for the code editor. It's also important to understand that this is not intended to be a WYSIWYG editor, it's a code editor. Finally, you may turn off the new editing features at any time and return to the old editing interface by visiting your user preferences and un-checking options in the Editing/Advanced section.

In Firefox, these keys navigate Back and Forward when editable iframes are focused. (Cmd+Shift+*Arrow still works, fortunately.) I've gotten quite used to the Cmd+*Arrow key bindings, so I've found myself losing work frequently with the new editor. The "unsaved changes" alert helps, but I missed the shortcuts enough to disable the Beta entirely. The bindings work fine in Safari. *In Firefox, when the edit box is focused, tabbing brings you to the search box instead of the Summary box. Instead you have to hit Shift+Tab twice, which is counter-intuitive. In Safari, there's no way to tab to the Summary box.

Currently, the iframe serves no purpose. The only thing it does is adding a lot of bugs and restrictions that all break common workflows. I don't think all these restrictions can be fixed because some of them are web browser issues. Similar issues are in TinyMCE and all other WYSIWYG editors for years and still not fixed. So if we stick with the iframe, we have to live with a lot of compromises as in all popular WYSIWYG editors. And for what? For collapsing templates? I'm sorry, but I don't think this is enough benefit to live with such a questionable solution. Recreating something in JavaScript that already exists native in the web browser never was a good idea. If you want to create an advanced editor, you are free to do this as an user script or gadget.

However, I'm confused about the purpose of the two radio-buttons: "to a wiki page" and "to an external website". One of the clever things about the dialogue is that it automatically detects whether you're linking to another wiki article or an external link - I presume it does this by simply checking whether the beginning of the linking text begins with an "http://", if it does then it's an external link, if it doesn't then it's an internal link. Simple. However, what is then the point of the radio buttons? Clicking on one or the other doesn't seem to do anything other than add "http://" to the link when you press save, this alone does not make a correctly formatted link. Can someone explain their purpose, given that auto-detect is an integral feature of the dialogue box? [[User:Witty lama|Witty lama]] 01:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC) :Agree with Liam here. To add to that. I've just switched to beta on Commons hoping I had an old version on the other projects or something, and I still don't understand the logic behind the way the link dialogue box. Here is my problem: :'''Problem behaviour:''' :*I highlight a word in the text I've just typed, to which I want to add a link (internal or external) :*link dialogue pops up and retains the word I have highlighted in the ''Target page or URL'' field, as well as ''Text to display'' field. So far, so good. :*However, as soon as I start to edit the ''Target page or URL'' field, it changes the content of ''Text to display'' field. Why? The whole point is to be able to add links to words that are already there, I '''do not''' want to see the display text changed, I want it exactly how I have already written it. :I find this behaviour completely counter-intuitive. Is it just me? Or is there a problem here? See [[:File:Screenshot 045.png|this screenshot]]. :'''Expected behaviour:''' :When I highlight a word and ''then'' click on any of the ''link'' icons, I want the field '''''text to display''''' to remain unchanged as I change the '''''target page or url''''' field content. I suppose if I hit the ''link'' icon without any text highlighted, changing the '''text to display''' is probably ok. Thanks! [[User:Notafish|Delphine]] 10:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC) ::This issue was discovered during yesterday's testing, and the team already plans to change this behavior; see [[Usability, Experience, and Evaluation Study/Notes]], « once you edit info within the link box, we should not auto update fields ».

Some of the features have been good improvements, Headings, inserts etc. However with firefox at least, Bold and Itallic formatting buttons have been spotty. They work half the time but not always. A disconcerting thing that's been bugging me is that, if you select a word within the editbox and clicked the ''I'' button to make that word Itallic, the editbox jumps to the top or start of the section being edited. :Also loss of the full function toolbar did make me unhappy enough to want to leave the beta. Some of those features of the previous toolbar such as Redirect were very handy. I wish those issues are worked out soon. [[User:Perseus71|Perseus71]] 22:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC) == Vector vs. the Proofread Page extension == I often use the [[:s:Wikisource:ProofreadPage|Proofread Page]] extension to proofread books in Wikisource. The Vector skin hides the Previous, Next and Index buttons under the little menu with "Move". This is very inconvenient - these buttons are used much more often than "Move" and they don't use a lot of screen space, because they look just like little arrows. I am sure that it's important for many books, but i want to give a particular example. In the book that i am mostly proofreading, [[:wikisource:Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar|Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar]], it is very important to have access to the original scanned pages and to be able to browse them forward and backward, because the display of Biblical Hebrew characters in the digital text may be faulty and the reader must be able to compare the digital text to the scanned page. So the arrows must be readily available and visible to people who read the book and who aren't otherwise experienced with MediaWiki interface - students and professors. Needless to say, they are useful to editors and proofreaders, too. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 08:51, 27 March 2010 (UTC) :*[[:bugzilla:22972]] --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 08:57, 27 March 2010 (UTC) == The down-arrow menu == The down-arrow menu, between the watchlist star and the search box is probably the biggest complaint so far from the editors in the Hebrew Wikipedia. And probably not just there - it was already brought up on this page back in August: [[Talk:Prototype/Archive 4#Lady Aleena's comments]]. First of all, if only one link is hidden there, which is true for many users, who only have "Move", it is wholly pointless. It hides only one useful function and saves very few pixels. So if there's only one such function, the down-arrow menu just shouldn't appear and that one function should appear directly on the screen. Furthermore, it's very important to let the user configure what appears in that menu and what is directly available. Many administrators complained that it is very inconvenient to have the "delete" link hidden there. It takes time to find it after moving to Beta, and even after the admin knows where that link is it's still inconvenient for many. I am an admin and for me, personally, it's OK, because i don't delete pages so often, but for new page patrollers it must be quite an annoyance. They should be able to have the delete button directly accessible. (Finally, does this menu have any other name? "The down-arrow menu" is longish.) --[[User:Amire80|Amir E.

But this page looks like it gets some attention, and I want to make sure this gets a hearing. I find that ''#bodyContent {font-size:0.8em;}'' in the Vector CSS makes pages practically unreadable for me. What's the idea with decreasing my font size by 20%? I have adjusted my browser to render the default size ([[en:Em (typography)|1 em]]) in a size that is comfortable for me to read. Has no one yet called out this "usablility initiative" for making the whole d*mn project unusable to middle-aged eyes? If you think that tiny type is more pleasing, can't you decrease the font size used by your own browsers and leave mine alone? I can and have adjusted the #bodyContent font size to 1 em for myself. That doesn't make the project any more usable by anyone who is not logged in and capable of hand-crafting their own CSS. -- [[en:User:Kbh3rd|Kbh3rd]] == Search and replace for Opera and other == Hi. I've read that the current version doesn't work well for Opera. I've just finished some fixes for a searchbox gadget which does work with the latest versions of Opera, IE and of course Firefox [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedysta:Nux/SearchBox.dev.js]. You can use some functions from it to make your search and replace work for Opera. Also using [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedysta:Nux/sel_t.js sel_t selection class] might be sufficient. Also I still think (I suggested this some time before) that the search dialogue should be replaced with a search bar. I think it would fit well just before the Advanced bar (see image below).<br /> [[File:Search n replace bar.png]] I know it would be hard to push it to the next update (before turning Vector a default), but I think such a search bar would be a great addition. --[[User:Nux|Nux]] 23:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC) == Text color is not always set == Using a dark color scheme, you will get bright text on bright background. Proposed Solution: Fore- and background color should ''always'' both be set. == Interface Design == Some general recommendations on the design: 1. The gray separator lines in the left-hand menu (under navigation, toolbox,) shouldn't fade to the center, since it draws attention toward the middle of the line rather than the items below [it seems this is fixed in Babaco prototypes] 2. The tabs should all be single words (i.e page discussion ------- view source history edit +topic). I think the "view" in 'view history' is implied. This is especially problematic on the Wikipedia Commons where the right-side tabs say [view] [view source] [view history]. 3. Change the [Discussion] label to [Talk]. That's what everyone calls it anyway... 4. Rather than announcing the redesign with "New!", which is ambiguous, use "New Look!" Specific to Wikipedia Commons 1. The dark blue/gray clashes with Vector's light blue 2. Fading up at the top of page from dark gray to white draws attention to header not main content [[Special:Contributions/69.142.154.10|69.142.154.10]] 10:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC) == Prototype wikisource; nsIndex: bug == A '''prototype wikisource project''' is needed in my opinion, since it uses particular ttricks and extensions (porrfread extension, large use of #lst extension, peculiar js costomization).

I used the Advanced tools to do this. I added a sentence to the middle of the article, with hard returns above and below it, and dragged over it with my mouse to select it. Then I clicked the bullets button, expecting that the item I'd selected would then become a bullet item. Instead the software inserted the bulleting code at the top of the edit screen -- in this case, at the beginning of the article, not with the text I was trying to bullet. I was so surprised by this that I tried it again and again, adding break tags and doing other such actions to try to get the software to do what I expected in the first place. No luck. This is quite unintuitive.

For pages like [{{fullurl:nn:Afrika sør for Sahara|action=history}} this one] it is really difficult to spot what edits are "real" edits in between all the bots. Collapsing all consecutive bot edits into one (expandable) line would make it immensely more convenient to research article histories. I know bot edits are marked as such in the database (in recent changes and the watchlist they are marked with a '''b''', but oddly enough not in the history), so it shouldn't be impossible to implement a feature like this.

The read tab is a subtab of the article tab. Within the article tab, you have several options, read (which displays the page), edit/view source, view history. If you are in the article and editing, clicking on the read tab will take you to the 'display page' option where you see the page. It's true the read tab is the default tab for page/article and discussion so if you click on the page/article or discussion you will automatically go to the read option of the page/article or discussion page, but it is ultimately just one of the options you have. Symantically, it helps people realise the read option is just one of the options you have. Also, considering the seperation between the two sets of tabs, it helps people who are editing (or whatever) get back to the read/display page option and it would look rather odd if by default no subtab is selected.

Also direct link to feedback == I guess this is a bit late but currently, it doesn't seem like there's any way for users without an account to offer feedback (well the feedback option doesn't work). Is this intentional and not going to be changed? (I appreciate that people could spam it and there may be technical reasons why it's hard to allow anons to offer feedback.) If not, would it be possible to design some way for such users to offer feedback? Worst case scenario, directing them to some usability initiative page (may be even this one). BTW, part of the reason why I'm asking because as I guess everyone expected, once the new skin became default we're getting a lot of feedback in various places on en.wikipedia. While a lot of it isn't perhaps particularly useful (I don't like it, I can't find the search box, I prefer the old one) I've been encouraging these people to offer feedback via the feedback option where it may actually make a difference and at least you're more likely to be interested then random people who mostly have nothing to do with the new skin. But then I realised it's only available for logged in users so unless they have an account they can't follow my advice. In a similar vein, might it be better for a more direct feedback option? I know currently you can get there via 'new features', 'take me back' as well as the new features link in the sitenotice and you may prefer that so people actually realise they can turn it off if they want and also may get an idea of why you made your changes, it seems likely to me people may not realise clicking on those will enable them to offer feedback so actually having a 'feedback' or something so people will realise if they see it may be useful.

Now, some achievements of it are being deployed to production Wikis, which is good. The way the WUI interacts with the public, however, is a scandal: *On this page, ''which is the one designed to receive feedback'' according to the main page, users routinely leave comments, bug reports and valuable suggestions (as you would expect them to). However, almost none of them ever get answered (same thing [[Toolbar|here]] and [[Opinion_Dialogs|here]])! This is plain insulting and a good idea only if you want to deter further feedback. *From the outside, the WUI appears not to be organized at all. I've been trying to find out who's in charge, who actually works on the project and who to contact for giving feedback (the pages above are obviously ''not'' the right place), but without success. *The structure of this wiki is convoluted to say the least. What's going on? What is the current status of the project? When are [[Citron_Designs|Citron]] and its new features, like folding templates, coming? There appears to be no way to find out. *Blog entries/development posts are made too rarely by far; they only seem to surface roughly once a month. That's not transparency. *The launch of the new Wikipedia logo was a disaster in itself (but you probably know that by now). Once again, no community feedback, no interaction with the public. It is not my place to tell you what to do. I'm just a frustrated user needing to get this off my head. When the Usability Initiative was first announced, I was enthusiastic about it, adopting the beta early on, giving lots of feedback. Now, a year later, after seeing how my feedback and that of others is treated and what other glaring weaknesses the project has, this enthusiasm has turned to skepticism, especially since the results published so far, while solid, fail to amaze me.

A peace was then concluded, according to the terms of which Hyrcanus was to renounce the throne and the office of high priest (comp. Schürer, "Gesch." i. 291, note 2), but was to enjoy the revenues of the latter office: "but Hyrcanus, with those of his party who staid with him, fled to Antonia, and got into his power the hostages that might he for his preservation (which were Aristobulus's wife, with her children); but they came to an agreement before things should come to extremities, that Aristobulus should be king, and Hyrcanus should resign that up, but retain all the rest of his dignities, as being the king's brother. Hereupon they were reconciled to each other in the Temple, and embraced one another in a very kind manner, while the people stood round about them; they also changed their houses, while Aristobulus went to the royal palace, and Hyrcanus retired to the house of Aristobulus."[8] Aristobulus ruled from 67–63 BCE). From 63–40 BCE the government was in the hands of Hyrcanus II as High Priest and Ethnarch, although effective power was in the hands of his adviser Antipater the Idumaean. == Keyboard Shortcuts - Conflicts with other systems == I don't know if anything can be done to change or fix this, but I noticed this about the Wikipedia pages several years ago. The problem I had was that I could not use standard keyboard shortcuts to access the menu bar of Internet Explorer for the purpose of saving the page. I was (and still do) use ALT+F for accessing the FILE menu item for all other websites. I then type the letter 'a' to select the 'Save As...' from the pull-down list. I am using version 8 of Internet Explorer and even though I do not have the Standard menu bar visible I can still access it via the keyboard shortcuts by first pressing the ALT key. (However, it is working right now from this editing page.) On some Wikipedia pages I am able to use ALT+P to get Internet Explorer's 'PAGE' Icon pull-down menu and from there to press the 'a' key twice that gives me the same 'Save As...' file function. But on the previous page here that does not even work. It puts the focus selector on something that I think is to prepare the page for printing (Printable Version). And just now I have noticed that ALT+P is used for PREVIEW on this editing page. I think that is very bad - having a keyboard shortcut do two different things, although I do see they seem similar in function - 'previewing' something. Maybe there should be a place in 'settings' that the user could set or change the keyboard shortcuts.

It has to have a set of blocks of navigational elements, and ''indispensable'' informational elements and links. Collect those along the edges of the viewport (window) forming various rectangles occupying "their remainder" of the windows width/height each. Use the remaining innermost rectangle for the page. ;Users view : Show me the page content. If I need them, I want to have some navigational links available, but do not bother me with pescribed links to ''non-informations'' which I never read, which is all-the-same all-the-time everywhere. Avoid any need to scroll my window! ;Consequentially I want: * the logo shrunk to almost icon size (a wide letter in big headline print) except maybe on the main page - no logo whoud be fine, too, with a sufficiently distinct looking screen layout. * no endless needless empty row underneath "toolbox" or "languages". * no endless row of language links extending empty space under a short page. * nothing but preview, edit box, and helpful buttons on the edit screen, absolutely no legalese (except outside my window frame maybe) * best: no scroll bars. * second best: scrollbars but no need to scroll - everything I don't want or need is outside my window. * third: If scrolling isn't avoidable, e.g. for a long article, keep the few links I would need in my sight via a (small!) fixed float or frame. ** Downside: Which ones do I need? Ooom, yeah, it depends&nbsp;&hellip;&nbsp;:-( * as a person I hate java/script (mainly for security reasons) and boxes popping up (my personal taste) but as an advocate of John Doe Average, the user, I must recommend dynamic pop-ups of some of the bigger selections, like toolbox, all-special-pages, language-links, etc. done with CSS. Maybe, this helps a bit :-) Greetings --[[User:Purodha|Purodha]] 12:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC) :I agree with your statement « no endless needless empty row underneath "toolbox" or "languages" ».

The study consisted of 15 one-on-one interviews, each lasting between 45 and 60 minutes. 10 of these interviews were conducted in person at a lab facility and 5 were conducted remotely from the Wikipedia Usability Office. The interviews were conducted in late March 2009 in San Francisco, CA. The primary research goals were to: * identify obstacles that novice users encounter in editing a Wikipedia article&mdash;including, but not limited to&mdash;adding personal content, fixing a typo, adding a reference, and contributing to discussion pages * identify obstacles in creating a new article * evaluate the self-sufficiency and legibility of help materials and documents found on Wikipedia.org * evaluate how novice users interact with templates * discover user experience patterns and issues that have not been previously identified. == Methodology == === Target Audience === The target audience of the Usability Study was limited to regular Wikipedia readers who are willing to contribute their knowledge to the site, but have expressed reservations about doing so. The team aimed to select a majority (~80%) of users that had not edited but were willing to, and a minority (10%) of users that had not edited and weren't willing to and (10%) of users that were novice but not new editors, with less than 5 contributions. We preferred potential subjects whose ''primary'' reasons for not contributing seemed to be due to the technical complexity of the interface of MediaWiki and markup, but understand that fear of article deletion, unwillingness to have work edited by others, lack of confidence in 'expertise', not being willing or used to collaborating, and philosophical differences are all also big inhibitors to Wikipedia readers' contribution. According to a multilingual survey of Wikipedia readers conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation and UNU-Merit, 74.6% of Wikipedians are male, and 24.7% are female. The average age of Wikipedians (aged 10&ndash;85) is 25.1 years old (the average male Wikipedian is 25.6 and the average female Wikipedian is 23.7. Since the team's goals are aimed at reducing common barriers for Wikipedia readers to become editors, and there are over 300 million unique Wikimedia visitors, the majority of which are English Wikipedia readers, we set out to keep our gender (M/F) breakdown equal and our gender spread across ages (Under 18, 19&ndash;34, 35&ndash;44, 45&ndash;54, 55&ndash;64, 65+), so that our research would give us insight into the entire spectrum of potential new editors.

Participants, limited to those within driving distance, were brought into a room with the Research Interviewer, and a Mac or PC, based on their stated preference. Behind a two way mirror, Wikimedia Usability Researchers could view the interviewer and participant interacting, hear the interview audio, view the participants entire screen and computer interactions, and see their faces and expressions, in real time as the interview was being conducted. These videos (both the screen and the participant) were also captured under a Creative Commons License and can be viewed in the section labeled "Full Interview Videos". <br clear="all"> === Remote Testing === [[File:Research-Photo-RemoteTesting.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Set up at Wikimedia Annex]] The Remote Testing was conducted at the Wikimedia Usability + Wikia office. Participants were recruited live, and called for interview within 1hr of the completion of their survey response. They completed the script in their native environment. Using [http://www.techsmith.com/uservue.asp UserVue], a remote screen sharing application, the B|P interviewer, the Wikipedia Usability Team, and other observers could view the participant's screen in real time, and hear the complete audio via telephone and speakers. The audio interview along with the screen capture videos were recorded and are available here under a Creative Commons license (see "FullInterview Videos below.") <br clear="all"> === Lab Testing and/VS Remote Testing === We decided to do a combination. * Users from outside the San Francisco area * In person&mdash;see more <br> [http://boltpeters.com/articles/versus.html B|Ps Lab Vs. Remote Comparison] === Recruiting === We recruited over 2,500 San Francisco residents for the in person testing. A banner/alert was placed and displayed at the top of every 1 in 100 Wikipedia pages for the duration of 8 hours. When users viewed our message by clicking, they were forwarded to B|P ethnio recruiting system where we asked them a series of questions. Specifically, users were asked about what they were doing on Wikipedia, how often they used Wikipedia, if they had ever contributed to Wikipedia (and in what manner), their age, gender, location, and availability. Based on these criteria, the 2,500 users who responded to our survey were filtered down to 500 viable subjects based on their answers to these questions. The team, along with B|P, partnered with Davis Recruiting to contact, filter, and screen these 500 participants based on their Wikipedia contribution history, Wikipedia usage patterns, their given reasons for not contributing, and their talkativeness and openness to discuss their thoughts and actions. From 2,500 users, we ended up with 10 study participants and 3&ndash;5 waitlisted participants. <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-Screener.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Ethnio recruit survey]]</div> <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-Invite.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Ethnio screener invitation]]</div> <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-Thanks.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Survey Gratitude]]</div> <div style="clear:both"></div> === Study Participants === ==== Lab Testing ==== {| class="wikitable" |- !

The script aimed to see how users would attempt to and feel about a collection of tasks or objectives that first time and early Wikipedians frequently encounter in their editing process including, but not limited to: * Finding and using the various modes of editing ("edit this page" vs. section edits) * Adding personal content or information to an existing article * Looking at Discussion Pages * Adding comment/thread to a discussion page. * Adding or using content from an external source (website, paper, etc) * Adding a reference to content * Adding an external link to a list or section of links * Editing an article that uses a template * Navigating through template syntax to edit an infobox. * Formatting content (Headers, bold, italics, linking, tables) * Creating a new article * Fixing a typo * Finding and using help <br> Though the script was generally task based, the questions were open ended and left room for interpretation, encouraging subjects to not try to complete the tasks in any "correct" way, but rather to go about them naturally, if they had felt the motivation to do so on their own. Open-ended interview questions including "How did you find that process? What did you like or dislike about it?" regularly follow every "task". The script was piloted on two internal members of the Wikimedia Foundation&mdash;one regular editor, and one newbie editor&mdash;prior to the lab and remote testing. *View the complete Moderator Script [[Moderator Script | here]] *View B|P's explanation of Moderation Techniques [http://boltpeters.com/articles/moderating.html here] == Summary of results == The primary goals of our study were to examine the ease of use of the Wikipedia editing interface, focusing on both cognitive and UI obstacles to editing and factors that could potentially increase users' editing of articles. We focused on editing tasks, but along the way learned about much more than the specific tasks and the editing experience. While the team observed no patterns or distinctions based on gender alone seen during the study, we observed patterns amongst the different age groups. Younger users (Under 18&ndash;34) tended to have less inhibition to make smaller changes to Wikipedia than older users (45+), and in doing so also tended to learn more by example and employ a trial and error method to making changes. When the trials of these younger users did not reach success, they were also more resilient in recovering from those errors. Older users tended to give up more readily, feared they might "break" things, and often sought instructions from the "they" behind Wikipedia. =====''People Love Wikipedia (and get there easily)''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"I use Wikipedia all the time. Usually it’s the most information in the easiest spot to access. It always looks very well put together it boggles my mind how many people can contribute and it (still) looks like an encyclopedia."'' -- Galen, 24, Costume Designer</span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I like Wikipedia because it's plain text and nothing flashes" '' -- Claudia, 64, Database Administrator </span> If there was one thing that was consistent and unanimous across our study participants, it was the assessment that Wikipedia is an incredibly valuable information resource whose accessibility is unparalleled. Aside from its value as a reference, a time and lifesaver, and an up to the minute news resource, participants also praised its simplicity, coherence, and breadth. They find that the quality and quantity of information they find there is outstanding, trustworthy, and their go-to reference when they have a question or need more information about a topic, even one that they themselves might have quite a bit of expertise on. Users also tend to click on Wikipedia articles if they see them as part of the results list when they search for a topic/subject, because they trust the content and are familiar with Wikipedia. An extra thanks to Google, for showcasing just how referenced Wikipedia articles are&mdash;consistently making their links one of the top hits&mdash;our users count on that! <span style="color: gray"> ''"I usually use a Wikipedia shortcut on my computer"'' -- Suzanne, 50, Paralegal </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"It's usually [one of] the first hit[s] on Google"'' -- Grace, 24, Medical Student </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I don't usually go to the Wikipedia front page."'' -- Dan, 41, Programmer </span> By and large, participants explained that they accessed Wikipedia articles through a top search hit from Google. Other methods of entry were through browser search plugins, shortcuts, and referring articles. When asked to head to Wikipedia, many participants stated or explained that they had never been to the front page before. =====''Wiki Syntax is not that hard to ignore (in small doses)''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"So now I learned how to edit. It was okay, just like editing, I do it every day…. Things like my personal profile on an internet dating site."'' -- Gene, 64, Retired Public Transit Worker </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"Pretty cool, easier than I thought, I just have to get used to it."'' -- Lisa </span> Users' word processing skills translated to the task of editing text in Wikipedia so that all the users we spoke to, including the technically uninitiated, were able to identify and make changes to the content text (as opposed to the wiki markup syntax) on Wikipedia. The changes users were able to make included correcting typos and grammar, adding words and sentences, copying and pasting, and formatting text (with bold and italics). The ease of editing around wiki markup drastically decreased as the complexity of the article increased&mdash;most notably when articles started with large infoboxes, templates, and other syntax-heavy elements. =====''The "right" way Vs. The "wrong" way''===== <span style="color: gray"> "''What I did was a hack, I'm not actually using the sit''e" -- Claudia, 64, Database Administrator </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"Rather than making a mess, I'd rather take some time to figure out how to do it right"'' -- Dan, 41, Programmer </span> All of our participants are Wikipedia readers, but had little or no experience with editing. Generally the editing process was not a warm and welcoming one. Before subjects even hit the ‘edit’ or ‘edit this page’ buttons, they voiced concerns about the rules, proper etiquette, formatting, and were naturally conscientious of and inhibited by maintaining the community expectations. When a few of them attempted to find answers to their questions about rules and etiquette, they were overwhelmed with the amount of information and documentation they encountered. The most commonly expressed concerns were around who was allowed to edit what, who reviewed the edits, and what level of privileges were given to which users. Users also expressed concern and hesitation about editing without doing extensive research and feeling confident in their ability (put somewhat on the spot) to add relevant and accurate information. Not knowing what they could or should add/edit is a large barrier to at least some users' willingness to edit. Another major concern that participants expressed was the need to cite and validate their information. More often than not, our subjects did not know when they were expected to add a reference, felt an impulse to add a reference anyway, and faltered on the right way to do that, which included determining where in the article (or which section) was appropriate, the correct formatting, and the appropriate syntax when the references were autogenerated. In cases such as these references (as well as html links, internal links, and lists) many users copied and pasted text from examples from within the same article in order to make their edits appear the way they wanted them to&mdash;namely to appear like others on the page. While this worked fine for most simple, basic edits, users felt that this was a ‘hack’ and they weren’t doing it in the ‘right way’. The final observed example where participants struggled with the right and wrong way to do things was when they received conflicting messages. One user whose edits were immediately reverted after they saved was flustered and concluded that edits must go through a review process and assumed they'd 'show up in a few days.' Additionally, when viewing discussion pages participants felt quite confident about what type of content and discussion was appropriate, until they encountered the most noticeable text on the page stating "this is not a forum," after which the doubts started to roll in. =====''Feeling Stupid''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"[I felt] kind of stupid."'' -- 24, Galen, Costumer </span> Every user in this study struggled to get a basic grasp of the editing interface. Despite users’ overall excitement about Wikipedia, their willingness to spend up to an hour on the site, and varying levels of computer expertise, they largely failed to make edits correctly without repeated attempts and efforts. Users regularly commented that they had ‘no idea’ or ‘no clue’ what they were looking at, or what they were doing. While they actually were able to edit simple text, users were not at all confident that they were succeeding during the process. As users edited, they mentioned that they thought they were looking at html or some variation of html, and they all admitted that they weren’t familiar with it, or knew very little. They commonly used descriptors such as ‘computer stuff’, ‘technical stuff’, ‘programming language’, ‘syntax’, etc.; in other words, something that is ‘not for me’, but for someone who has been trained in this professionally. Many users described their ideal or expected interface as something more like facebook.com, myspace.com, or a blog- an intuitive GUI that hides the code. This led to intimidation in editing anything, ‘in case I mess it up’. Users were not confident that they were doing the right thing until they had previewed the page and seen that their changes were displayed in the way they expected. Users also did not find the toolbars too helpful- though nearly all of them hovered over the toolbar icons to read the pop-ups, the only icon they recognized and used consistently was Bold. * Expertise * Level of comfort * Lack of consistency * Conflicting messages * 10 ways to do 1 thing =====''Feeling Overwhelmed''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"There sure is a lot of stuff to read"'' -- Dan, 41, Programmer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"This is where I'd give up"'' -- Claudia, 64, Database Administrator </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I'm sure there is help out there, but I am too lazy to read that."'' -- Tito, 21, Student and Video Producer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"What's to stop you from just putting in anything?"'' -- Suzanne, 50, Paralegal </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"But it's on the internet and people will read it and believe it's true."'' -- Grace, 24, Medical Student </span> There were a variety of things that left our participants feeling overwhelmed, but articles that started with infoboxes, thick wiki syntax, help docs, and any attempts to find concise answers on rules or guidelines left participants feeling lost. Some explained "If [I] can't read it in five seconds, you've lost me," while others exclaimed "It may take a whole night to do this", and another spent the majority of their time with us searching and digging, explaining "If I really wanted to put it on there, I'd find a way to do it." While their thresholds varied, the results were strikingly similar&mdash;lots of information, not a lot of guidance; more questions, fewer answers. =====''What I see Vs. What I get''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"I'm more of a visual person."'' -- Galen, 24, Costumer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I couldn’t really understand the format, I didn’t know what it was saying. I would just go to the stuff that’s readable. It looks kinda like a website, lingo stuff."'' -- Tito, 21, Student and Video Producer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"In many websites, you kind of see the screen just the way you see it in the article, Here it looks like they converted it into plain text. I think what I’ll have to do is open another Wikipedia, so I can compare the views. In blogs, it’s easier to add stuff- you don’t go into the programming mode. This html version- its much easier to edit a blog."'' -- Saurab, 28, Retail Software Developer </span> Once within the editing environment, most subjects commented on the illegibility of the hybrid Wiki syntax and article content&mdash;the more complex the article, the more exaggerated the response. When users made it past their initial reactions, navigating around the syntax to perform basic word processing tasks (correcting a typo, inserting a block of text, bold and italics formatting) proved less problematic than finding a particular section, adding references, using tables, creating and naming links. But not even our youngest and most computer savvy participants accomplished these tasks with ease. Aside from feeling confused by the “code”, “computer lingo”, and “html”, subjects could not correlate what they were seeing within the edit box to what they saw on the article page. We saw the vast majority of participants perform the same behavior as they began to edit&mdash;most subjects opened a separate browser window to view the static article as they were making their changes and used preview and save before they had finished their work to monitor their editing progress and results. * Expectations * Blogs * Word Processor * Previewing and Saving * Lingo/Html/Lingo =====''What I do Vs. What I get''===== <span style="color: gray">''"They should have instructions for what you want to do, but it's really not there."'' -- Suzanne, 50, Paralegal</span> <span style="color: gray">''"Can't something auto correct my links [to internal pages]?"'' -- Grace, 21, Medical Student</span> <span style="color: gray">''"Let someone else do it (waves hands)" -- Claudia"''</span> A significant number of our participants, noticeably female, tended to have expectations around actions and processes that could happen without being explicitly requested. These users expressed expectations for help of the right variety being presented to them at the right time, automated clean up and formatting of edits ('I hope that someone will come after and fix it'), and the existence of an editing or reviewing staff, mysteriously called "they" (there is no such person or persons!). * Expectations: automation and "they" * Instructions =====''Exploring (learning by example) and Receiving Instructions (learning from Help Docs)''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"I don't know by looking at it [here], but by looking at other examples."'' -- Grace, 24, Costumer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I like to learn by example because you don't have to digest a whole lot of irrelevant stuff."'' -- Dan, 41, Programmer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I want to see instructions for the "edit this page."'' -- Suzanne, 50 Paralegal </span> When participants were asked to perform a task or format a particular sentence, rather than consulting help, they chose to look within that section or article for another example of a similarly formatted word or sentence. This proved to the be the most effective learning tool for uninitiated editors. Copying and pasting from another example relieved some of their concerns about the "right" or "wrong" way to do things and the illiteracy of wiki markup. It also helped in associated what they were seeing in the edit box with what they were typing (or here, copying) within the edit window&mdash;"I don't know by looking at it, but by looking at the other ones." Aside from learning by example, most participants successfully learned by trial and error. Previewing and saving after the most minor of changes to verify the result with the expectation (i.e. correctness) was commonplace. Many participants started off with baby steps&mdash;"I'm just going to try and type sort of what I see, just as a test" on an article, and notably not in the sandbox. This method seemed to lower barriers to editing and thresholds to learning&mdash;"I can guess on how to do things based on what's already in the page." =====''Sticklers for Details''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"I would correct people's grammar errors, subject verb agreement"'' -- Gene, 64, Retired Public Transit worker </span> At the conclusion of our interviews, we asked all of our participants what might encourage them to contribute more to Wikipedia or in what ways they felt they would contribute. Many mentioned that fixing typos and grammatical errors would be one of the actions they'd be most likely to do. In fact without prompting, some users started to do this on their own in the course of completing other tasks. Participants of all of the age groups did this, but those that explicitly mentioned it tended to be older (44+). =====''References''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"Should[n't] I cite the text that I inserted from Creative Commons."'' -- Nikki, 16, High School Student </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"I'm aware that copying directly from another source is discouraged and that references are needed... I don't want to put in incorrect information, that's one of the main reasons I don't go changing stuff."'' -- Saurab, 28, Retail Software Developer </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"How will people know it's genuine information"''-- Dan, 41, Programmer, who spent the majority of our session going to great lengths to verify the validity of his edit. </span> Without any prompting, the majority (one less than the entirety) of our participants expressed the desire or obligation to cite their sources, provide references, or validate the information they were adding or editing on Wikipedia. That desire, however, rarely resulted in a successful citation. Subjects struggled to differentiate between a reference, an internal link, and an external link. In fact, only one subject used the "shortcut" for an internal link in lieu of using the full html address for the forwarded article. Whether in the course of attempting to create a reference or while accomplishing another editing task, many users hovered over each of the toolbar icons in search of a solution. If/when users found the "reference" button (at the far right!), most could not digest the syntax that was placed at their cursor and questioned where the super script, footnote number, and text belonged and would end up. In the few cases in which the subject was adding a reference to an article where these references were auto generated, the users were completely dumbfounded. =====''Creating a New Article''===== The task that nearly every user failed at was creating a new page. Participants passed over the pointer to create a new article within search results, did not associated red links with yet-to-be-created pages, and could find no obvious button or action in the Wikipedia navigation. Several users, while scanning the pages to try to figure out how to create a new article, saw ‘create a book’ on the left, and thought maybe they should ‘add wiki page’ in order to create a new article. The wording ‘create’ likely points them towards that link, as there is no other mention of ‘create’ on the page. The few users that managed to create a new article commented on the lack of formatting or templating guidelines and expressed surprise that the starting point was a completely blank slate. =====''Where do I edit?''===== Users often missed the ‘edit’ buttons next to each section, clicking on ‘edit this page’ all the way at the top. This often got them lost if they were editing a particularly long article, as they weren’t easily able to find the section they wanted to edit. Several users also clicked on the wrong ‘edit’ button next to the sections, thinking that the ‘edit’ button below the section referred to the section above. Users who got used to editing single sections (instead of the whole page) expected to be able to edit the first section, as well as the template box at the top, separately from the whole page. =====''Clutter''===== Repeatedly, users missed messaging displayed on the pages. The amount of information and the number of ‘boxes’ on each page may have distracted users from the most important/relevant messages. Some users also missed the ‘save’ button because they got confused by the double scroll bars on the edit page. The message under the ‘Discussion’ section for various articles was confusing to some users, especially when they read ‘this is not a forum’, which seemed to contradict their thoughts about what a ‘discussion’ page would include. =====''Help needs some help''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''"I have no idea how to do that, maybe there is a how to?......Help should be on the top right. It's always there."'' -- Claudia, 64, Database Administrator </span> <span style="color: gray"> ''"There should be instructions here. It's not immediately clear."'' -- Suzanne, 50, Paralegal </span> While most participants said they probably wouldn’t go there on their own, once they were prompted to explore the Help section, most users did not find the section very helpful, if they even found it. The amount of information is overwhelming to users, and users sometimes got lost trying to find the one set of instructions they needed in order to complete their task. The cheat sheet was the only item in the help section that led to a subjects successful edit. Copying and pasting from other examples within the article or from another article was more often the help users sought. Additionally, we never saw the same click path through help twice, even when participants were looking for the same information. Users looking for the same information ended up in any number of final destinations (including the "Simple English Wikipedia" when one user was particularly challenged and was looking for a 'simple' answer), the majority of the time without answers. Help proved to be neither intuitive or consistent. ===== '' Inhibitors to Editing'' ===== Most users said they had ‘thought about’ editing Wikipedia, but never done it because of laziness or lack of time. The few who had edited had made only minor changes to sentences (fixing typos or grammar, etc.) Users mentioned as they tried to edit that they would need ‘more time’ to learn how to do what it was they were attempting, because they didn’t understand Wiki-markup, and it wasn’t immediately obvious what they needed to do. Users also expressed concern that the content they were adding was ‘correct’&mdash;in terms of content appropriateness, accuracy, and formatting. =====''ETC''===== *When using Wikipedia's own search, users rarely saw the "did you mean" results that were close approximations of their search terms, thus having to search again. In two cases, users left Wikipedia's search and used Google instead. *Some users missed the ‘spam-blocker’ code that they had to put in because it appeared above or below the fold of the page they ended up on after they tried to save. *Most users thought the ‘history’ section of the articles would be useful, but only for articles that they had a particular interest in or were editing themselves. However, some users were confused by what ‘prev’, ‘cur’, or ‘hist’ meant. *While most users did not actually try to upload images, the few who did were confused as to how to do it, and how exactly the process worked. === Highlight Videos=== * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WMFUsability_highlights_explain.ogv Explain the Editing Process to Me] * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UX_lookslike.ogv I Can’t Tell What This Really Looks Like] * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_feel_stupid_v2.ogv Editing Wikipedia Makes Me Feel Stupid] === Full Interview Videos === [[Category:Usability studies]] kbkau13p9rqyfrntjrue16ytw7ujwb8 2 317 1270 2009-04-29T15:45:07Z J.delanoy 186 create 1270 wikitext text/x-wiki Hi!

Some of the ideas in these mock-ups are creative and experimental, while others are more practical and proven approaches. == Skin == ==== Motivation ==== * Improve visibility of common navigation elements and reduce visibility of less common ones * Decrease clutter throughout * Increase visibility of search box ==== Approach 1 ==== <!-- This design was created by Trevor Parscal on May 28th 2009 --> [[File:Design-Skin-1.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] * Reduce unneeded boxes and lines * Spread out items in cluttered areas * Move search box to the top-right * Separate tabs into namespaces, views and actions (in a drop down) '''Summary''' Vector is a new skin which uses a similar layout to MonoBook but reduces the superfluous use of lines and boxes. In practice this skin also reduces the download size of skin related information to 50% of the size of MonoBook, and requires a fraction of the CSS code. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Navigation Tabs == ==== Motivation ==== * Improve communication of where user is and where they can go * Increase visibility of alternative views of information, especially editing * Decrease clutter in head of page ==== Approach 1 ==== <!-- This design was created by Trevor Parscal on May 24th 2009 --> [[File:Design-NavigationTabs-1.pdf|thumb|200px|page=2]] * Display navigation in a more structured way using sections, views and actions * Proportion visibility of elements to frequency of use and increase overall size * Visually differentiate sections, views and actions * Collapse less commonly used elements into on-mouse-over drop-down menus '''Summary''' This design is superseded by the Vector skin, but laid the initial groundwork for tab reorganization. The downside to this design was the movement of tabs which occurred when switching namespaces, while the upside was it's clearer representation of structure between what tabs were namespaces, views, and actions. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Edit Toolbar == ==== Motivation ==== * Improve ease of interpretation of icons * Balance visibility of commands with frequency of use * Provide access to contextual help resources ==== Approach 1 ==== <!-- This design was created by Trevor Parscal on May 23rd 2009 --> [[File:Design-EditToolbar-1.pdf|thumb|200px|page=2]] * Implementation of the icons from the [http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project Tango Desktop Project] * Removed many advanced commands (may reintroduce them in an advanced mode) * Added connection to help panel * Merged some commands into content generation wizard launching points '''Summary''' By reducing the number of icons down to only the most commonly (and successfully) used ones as per our user research study, the toolbar now requires less attention to comprehend its capabilities. Selective text labels help to explain less identifiable icons, and formatting types are grouped into a unified drop-down menu. This design requires the presence of content generation dialogs to provide additional interaction when inserting media and links. <div style="clear:both"></div> ==== Approach 2 ==== <!-- This design was created by Parul Vora on May 28th 2009 --> [[File:Design-EditToolbar-2.pdf|thumb|130px|page=1]] * Showed basic and common commands in top section of toolbar * Added expandable toolbars where more advanced commands and help reside '''Summary''' By adding an expandable/collapsible secondary toolbar area the primary toolbar can be simplified while still providing access to additional items. This design is more transition-friendly as it provides a way to improve the layout of the toolbar without modifying the functionality of the actual buttons. The icons represented in this mockup are for illustration purposes only and will be replaced with duo-tone (full color on mouseover) versions of icons from or based on the Tango Desktop Project. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Search Results == ==== Motivation ==== * Improve users' comprehension of results * Align with users' expectations for results format * Improve navigation through results ==== Approach 1 ==== <!-- This design was created by Trevor Parscal on May 22nd 2009 --> [[File:Design-SearchResults-1.pdf|thumb|200px|page=2]] * Increased visibility of titles of results * Implemented icons from the Tango Desktop Project for paging navigation * Reduced visibility of infrequently needed information * Visually structured search page to meet users' expectations '''Summary''' By analyzing the user experience of popular internet search engines many common and useful features have been identified which present solutions to issues found while researching user interaction with search results. One key feature of this design is that it keeps as many of the search results as visible as possible. Other elements such as a list of common search configurations provide quick access to different search results using the same search terms. Overall, reducing clutter and visually encapsulating ancillary information contributes to improving the visibility of the search results. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Section Edit Links == ==== Motivation ==== * Increase clarity of what content relates to the edit link * Improve visibility of section edit links ==== Approach 1 ==== <!-- This design was created by Arash Boostani on May 15th 2009 --> [[File:Design-SectionEditLinks-1.jpg|thumb|200px]] * Provide a visual indication of what will be editable when the user mouses over the section edit links '''Summary''' Our research showed that many of the times which people did find the section edit link, they incorrectly connected the link with the content above it rather than below. By highlighting the affected content when the user mouses over the section edit link, the user is presented with an illustration of which portion of content relates to the link. This approach has technical limitations however, as the current approach to parsing text does not encapsulate sections or even structure the resulting HTML code reliably in relation to the section outline. An example of a case in which this approach breaks is when a div tag is opened in one section and closed in another - which is valid and common on Main Page articles but would break the section highlighting functionality. <div style="clear:both"></div> ==== Approach 2 ==== <!-- This design was created by Trevor Parscal on May 28th 2009 --> [[File:Design-SectionEditLinks-2.pdf|thumb|200px|page=2]] * Move section edit link next to section title * Show edit icon next to links By moving the edit links over to be directly next to the titles it's more obvious which section they relate to. Additionally, the icon helps to increase the visibility of the links, helping resolve the issue of users not finding them at all, which we identified in many cases during testing. In some Wikipedia projects, custom JavaScript code is being used to transform the page in a way that results in section edit links directly following the title, however this design takes it a step further with the removal of the brackets and addition of the icon and would ideally be achieved by modifying the actual output of the parser. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Layout (Cleaning up the Clutter) == ====Motivation==== * Organize and group links, messages intuitively * Consolidate redundant links, messages * Remove duplicate links and messages where applicable * Collapse information that tends visually overwhelm (templates use, hidden categories) ==== Approach ==== <!-- This design was created by Parul Vora on May 28th 2009 --> [[File:Design-Vacuum-1.jpg|thumb|130px]] <div style="clear:both"></div> == Overview == * Slides from an internal overview of acai design mockups.

These recordings are going to be posted on the internet and available for those interested in this research to view at least part of them. If you sign here, you are agreeing that's ok. * We're collecting feedback on Wikipedia. Basicallly I'll ask you some questions and then watch you use the webiste. * This will take about 45 min - 1 hr. === Explanation of Moderator and Participant Roles === * Your job is really easy, you just have to be yourself and act as you naturally would. I did not design this website, and I don’t actually work directly for Wikipedia, I’m just collecting feedback. As you interact with the site, please be honest with your positive and negative thoughts. There’s no right or wrong answers, and nothing you say will hurt my feelings. * You are not being tested, the Wikipedia pages are being tested. === Background Questions === * Tell us a little about yourself * What was it you were doing on Wikipedia when you filled out the survey a few weeks ago? * You said you come to Wikipedia XXX often. What are you usually looking up/doing? How has your experience been in the past? * (Non-editors) You mentioned that you haven’t edited Wikipedia before, but you’d be willing to. What are the reasons that you haven’t in the past? Can you tell me what you know now about the process of editing? * (Editors) You mentioned that you have contributed to Wikipedia before. Please tell us about those experiences. * Can you tell me what you know now about the process of editing? * (Optional) Have you ever uploaded an image to any of Wikimedia's resources? Would you be interested in uploading images to your entry? What kinds of things would you be interested in uploading? For what kinds of articles? === Think Aloud === * Next I’d like to have you go on Wikipedia to do a couple of tasks. * There’s one thing that I would like you to do differently. Please think aloud as you use the web site today. For example, if you are reading something read it out loud and feel free to say anything that comes to your mind as you read - for example that’s interesting or what in the world are they talking about? Also, talk out loud while you’re doing a task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing. (e.g.: Now I’m going to try to use the search engine) And, if you get to a point where you would naturally stop working, let me know. * I’ll let you decide your task is complete, whether you find what you are looking for or not. Just tell me when you’re finished. Were going to be focusing on navigating through the website and making changes to Wikipedia entries. For the tasks that we’re going to do, we will be previewing your changes but for most of the time we won’t be permanently saving your changes (note: we will walk them through that if necessary) * Do you have any questions before we continue? Okay, let’s go to the Wikipedia website. * Login === Tasks === ==== Adding Personal Content ==== *What were you doing when you filled out the survey for this phone interview? Go ahead and continue doing that, or walk me through how you were doing that… * We want you to navigate to a Wikipedia entry that's of personal interest to you, you can remain on this page, or alternatively go to the entry for your: Hometown; Favorite sports team, movie, singer, actor; Last meal you had/book you read; College or University you attended. As you do this, remember to say everything you’re doing out loud. * If you wanted to add a sentence or paragraph of info to this page, how would you do that? Go ahead and show me. (pre-fab sentence to give user if they don’t know what to add: Free knowledge for everyone on the planet.) (if necessary, show them how to preview and cancel their changes instead of saving them here, and continue to do this throughout as needed, as we don't want to save any harmful changes!) * Is that something you think you might do? Why/why not? What other types of things might you want to edit? Why? (fix typo, add section, add reference, add comment on discussion page, etc.) * How did you feel about that process? How was that process? * What do you think about the way this is all laid out (the text, the navigation, and the other elements on the edit page)? How’s the information on this page? What information would you expect to be there? What information do you actually see there? Why do you think this information is here? ==== Discussion Pages ==== * Please go to the discussion page for this article. Have you ever read, used or contributed to a discussion page for a Wikipedia article? (if yes) Please tell me about that. ''Time Permitting'' * If you wanted to add a question or comment to the last section/thread on this discussion page, how would you go about doing that? Please go ahead and do that. (pre-fab sentence if the user doesn't know what to add, if they even get there: “Is it ok if I make and remove minor unharmful edits as a study participant?” * Now let’s pretend you saved your changes to this discussion page and wanted to get rid of those changes. How would you go about doing that? * Probe about history: What do you think the history is all about? What do you think that’s used for? Have you used it in the past/how would you use it? Have you had any unique experiences with the history pages? Please explain. * (If user doesn’t mention, ask about categories) Did you see the ‘category’ box at the bottom? Any idea what the ‘categories’ are? How would you use those? Have you used them in the past? Do you have any unique experiences with them? Please explain. ==== Adding External Content ==== * (If current need be) Let’s go ahead and go to another entry on Wikipedia. You can choose whatever is interesting to you. Alternatively: Hometown; Favorite sports team, movie, singer, actor; Last meal you had/book you read; College or University you attended. *Let’s say you wanted to add some information here from another source: say a document on your computer or in this case, another website? (Let user choose if there's something they would like to add. Help them come up with examples. If they can't come up with anything else, direct them to the http://www.creativecommons.com) * How would you go about doing that? Is that something you would do? Why/why not? How was that process? ==== Using References and External Links and lists ==== * (if user doesn't mention References) Did you see the section about references? Would you add a reference from your text to the XX site? Why/why not? Go ahead and show me how you would do that. * (if user doesn’t mention External Links) Did you see the section about external links? Would you also add the CC site to the external links? Why/why not? Go ahead and show me how you would do that. ** Note: if there is not a 'References' of 'External Links' on the Wikipedia entry that the user is viewing, direct them to the entry for “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” ''Time Permitting'' * Let's say you wanted to link to another Wikipedia article from within this article (called internal linking). How would you go about doing that? Is that something you would do? Why or why not? How was that process? ==== Editing an article that uses a template ==== * Let’s go ahead and take a look at the Wikipedia page on San Francisco, CA. * If you wanted to edit just the 'Transportation' section here, how would you go about doing that? * If you wanted to add a new section here, how would you go about doing that? ==== Adding Formatted Content ==== * Transportation section (hand user printed instructions): ** Create a new section, call it “Bridges” ** Include this text under the section heading: ** Golden Gate '''Bridge''' ** San Francisco – Oakland Bay '''Bridge''' ** Save your changes ** Then, above this text at the top of the section, please add the following: ** ''See also'': Golden Gate Bridge ** and link 'Golden Gate Bridge' to the Wikipedia entry on the Golden Gate Bridge. * (Make sure they know to make ‘bridge’ bold and 'See also' italicized) * How was that experience? ==== Navigating and editing within templates ==== * Let’s say you moved to San Francisco and wanted to change the population field to be one greater. How would you do that? (Point out where this information is on the actual entry if necessary). * Let’s say you wanted to add San Francisco's motto to the page. How would you do that? * How do you feel about all that? What do you think about all the stuff that’s on this (edit) page? ==== Creating a new article ==== * If you wanted to create a new article, how would you go about doing that? (if you can’t think of anything, create a new article for a made up historical figure named ‘Bartelby Sanchez’ or ‘Sidney Rapunzel’ or ‘Lucy McVrices’). * (if they can’t do it) Do you see anything here that might help you figure out how to do it? Why don’t you take a look at the help pages. How do you feel about the info the help pages give you? Did you find what you were looking for? ==== Creating a Header and a Table ==== * hand user printed instructions for new page: * Create a new section for this article with the header “Biographic Information”. ** In the body of the page under the section header, create a table with the following information in it: {| class="wikitable" |- | Age | Birthplace | Favorite Band |- | Your age | Your birthplace | Your favorite band |} === Final Questions === * What might encourage or increase your participation to Wikipedia? * Follow up on questions above === Summarizing Likes and Dislikes=== * Is there anything that you would want to see changed/done differently on the Wikipedia website?

I'm primarily looking at the tab design mock-up. First of all, I'm concerned about the drop-down menus. While most modern browsers, on computers, should handle them well, won't they cause problems with certain devices? For example, on the iPod Touch and iPhone, you can't access hover elements, because the interface is based on tapping. If the menus were instead based off of JavaScript, you'd then have all the attendant problems of JavaScript, including that if JavaScript failed or wasn't available, the user probably wouldn't be able to make certain actions (without composing the URL manually, which no newbie will know how to do). Therefore: can such menus be implemented reliably? It might also be interesting to learn more about the usability consequences of hiding actions in menus (I'm no expert), but that's probably a necessary compromise in simplifying the interface. I'm also concerned about the ability for advanced editors to modify the interface (I [personally] strongly dislike drop-down menus; many custom tools add tabs), but that's a secondary concern. Second, I have a minor suggestion: that the current "active" tab system (in CSS) be replicated in the new tabs, namely, that the active tab should have an orange border and bold text, and the other tabs normal text and grey borders. If grey borders don't really work, then I suggest a wider border for the active tab. It should be more evident than just continuity with the page (the only evidence I see in the mockup) that a particular mode is active. Also, on discussion pages, why is the "New section" link hidden (presumably in "Actions"), rather than being available with the other links? Having been the one who made that tab more visible by changing the default "+" to "New section", I would be concerned were such a feature hidden. In my opinion, it's important for procedural usability. Finally, is the background of the inactive tab (either "Article" or "Discussion" for the main namespace) really supposed to be transparent? Does that help? It's also one of the only places I don't like the look of the mock-up. Is there another way that the inactive state of that tab could be demonstrated? Thanks for the work you've put in so far. I hope my input is useful. &#123;&#123;[[User:Nihiltres|<span style="color:#233D7A;">Nihiltres</span>]]&#124;[[User talk:Nihiltres|talk]]&#125;&#125; 17:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC) == MediaWiki page sizes == My test resulted in a 169:1 ratio of page download size vs. actual page content size.

[[User:Koraiem|Koraiem]] 01:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC) == Go/Search == Why do we have two search buttons "go" and "search"? Isn't the choice confusing? I know google always had the "i'm gonna be lucky" button, but's I think the joking tone and the size of the button make it less confusing. I've been several times in doubt about which button will take me to an article and which to a search page. Most importantly, when I use wikipedia in english, I'm never sure of writing whe words right, so I always want to "search". Have you tested this design? Have you tested alternative designs? --[[Special:Contributions/190.177.207.213|190.177.207.213]] 04:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC) :Hello. Why not considering to replace "go" by "read"?

Everbody is used to one search button because of google, yahooo,... or other sites on the internet. Furthermore I don't see those big advantages to have the go-button. Only a few advanced users take the benefits of the go-button. If you remove the confusing utton new users will be less irritated and the advanced users could add it (if they really need it) by a css- or js-hack. --[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 16:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC) 7qbkbten29up0b3yax5n7lippptcycu 1 331 4911 1414 2009-12-08T00:39:17Z Bricaniwi 1354 /* Wikimedia.org? */ suggested Rss or Atom feed 4911 wikitext text/x-wiki ==a word is missing after "to"== "The script aimed to see how users would attempt to and feel" [[Special:Contributions/4.248.76.8|Contributions/4.248.76.8]] 06:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC) == Wikimedia.org? == I wish this was on en.

All of this content is summary of observations maid during the design wiki project. It is not exhaustive and concentrating on points that seems to have a strong impact on usability. It can and must be criticized !'' === Returns of experience gathered === * Wikis seems to have a strong reputation of being complicated to use. For example Google didn't want to use the wiki word for his jotspot based wikis, calling it "Google sites". We also faced a lot to this problematic speaking of making a wiki, and had to promise to make an effort on usability to get support. * People dealing with usability problems generally have to use learning to deal with it. ** Learning is bad for newcomers, most would just get away, ohers will does as they can with no learning willing, and a few will learn. The fact is that it does not depends on what the person have to say, but on his computer skills. Some will say that it depends on motivation and makes a good filter, but once again, motivation is not linked with the quality of the content (it may even be the inverse). People have to be able to make a first step easily in the contribution system to become then contributors. ** Learning can be good for community integration. Learning give the sentiment to be part of community, may also make people happy to use what they have learned. So having learning necessity at advanced contribution level is not necessarily bad. === Main tips === * Main problem seems to be the lack of visual editor. Even if wikicode is easy to catch with a little effort, it restricts the use of MediaWiki for people not used with computer who are just affraid of it. * Usability of community tools seems to need to be really improved. According to Don Tapscott researches, community tools needs to meet the community needs to help it grow. Having a real forum, friendly talkpages, friendly user pages, even some social tools like social profile, should help a lot the community to grow. * The simplicity of global first seen interface architecture seems to be not to bad at first sight. Except a lot of links on the left side. The main referents of a site navigation are supposed to be top horizontal bar and left vertical navigation bar. Using top navigation bar referent for "edit" links greatly make the "contributive" aspect on light. Visibility can be questioned (I feel ok with it but I had some surprises with a few people not understanding where to contribute). * Internal links in content seems to be a greatly appreciated, so does the "see also" part. * The "technical" appearance of Wikipedia makes some people happy to think that there is nothing unusefull such as decoration, all is functionalities. Yet this sort of thing generally have a strong impact on usability. The site perception is turned to technical, making the people not used to using technology afraid and just thinking that they will not be able to use it, then they make less effort. === Recommendations === * Concentrating efforts on WYSIWYG editor development. FCKeditor seems to be not bad, yet usability workshops on templates integration on FCK would be nice according to me. * Making an effort to put less links on the main bars, hiding non widely used links under menus for example. * Working on community tools such as forum, social profile... * Making an effort on graphisms semiotics (sens) to help people to think it can be easy to use and being confident. * Having a non-computer aware people thinking. Ask support from ergonomes and user experience designers. Usability for newcomers could be turned on a "zero learning" objective. * Making surveys on people that does not contribute on wikipedia and asking them why they do not contribute. If some have tried/had in the idea to do it, it cold be good to ask questions on usability barriers. The ones we have gathered is wiki code (many many time), then people not understanding the interface. === Books selection === Here are my own recommendations for an easy library. * [http://lawsofsimplicity.com/ The laws of simplicity], John Maeda. * [http://www.sensible.com/ Don't make me think], Steve Krug. * [http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/ Wikinomics], Don Tapscott & Anthony D Williams.

We have put a lot of though and work into the character formatting icons. We will be sharing our current designs along with instructions on how to create them. We would very much appreciate your help in reproducing them in other languages! All of our work is iterative and we are constantly looking for ways to improve upon the work we have done. We will be looking at updating and improving some of our other icons (references, tables, various media uploads buttons) and will look forward to your ideas and input! --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 21:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC) == Droid fonts == Hello.

It has the new alignment of the tabs but avoids the annoying fade-out effect at the top of the tabs. I'm asking you since you uploaded this image. --[[Special:Contributions/46.127.143.63|46.127.143.63]] 09:43, 22 December 2010 (UTC) Hello! This is a mock-up that is a variation from many designs we considered. Unfortunately, this specific style (without the fade at the top) is not available. The Vector skin will not be undergoing any major updates in the near future, but we will be considering everyone's feedback when it does. If the fade prohibits your use of Wikipedia, I suggest you use the older skin called "monobook" (which does not have the new tab layout). :Thanks, for the quick answer. I was already using monobook because of that, I just hoped that I could configure the tabs' appearence somewhere. I would probably be using the new skin if there were "proper" tabs. Still, I think it's a pity that this fade-out thing is the default design since it doesn't make it easier to differentiate foreground and backround and can get ''really'' out of fashion quite soon (I actually thought this fade-out fashion already ''is'' a thing of the past). I still hope this can be changed in the near future, as I wouldn't call that a "major update". :-) == Your account will be renamed == <div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"> Hello, The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis.

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Parul Vora~usabilitywiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Demo page - http://ru.great.wikia.com/wiki/Zinc]] Greetings, I wrote a new script for Wikipedia which replaces tags "ref". My script implements in the scientific (Harvard) style, but it is also compatible with tag "ref" and other markup. Here are some examples of how my script is used: [name] - is link, e.g. [Smith 2009] or [Smith 2009| p.121] [*name] - is an anchor, e.g. [*Smith 2009] For compatibility reasons, an editor should insert the template {{tl|SciRefsOn}} somewhere in the page to turn the script on. Additional details (description with screenshoots) can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:X-romix/SciRefs Demo Wiki with working realisation - is here: http://ru.great.wikia.com/wiki/Zinc I would like to help make Wikipedia more user-friendly. When using this script, backlinks may be accessed via the "Back" button in the browser or the backspace key on the keyboard. This backlink will be highlighted. This reference style is simpler than the current convention, and it corresponds to the scientific standard (author-date Harvard referencing system).[http://www.unisa.edu.au/ltu/students/study/referencing/harvard.pdf] Jimbo Wales commented on my work the following way: ''I strongly support making refs easier to read and easier to use.

I have a few assorted processing issues that specifically end up with visual distractions being bad. Aside from that, it hasn't broken yet, but I did want to bring this to folks' attention. Additionally, it could use about 5px of space between the tabs, to give them a bit more individual distinctness.

Text boxes for user input render correctly, as do the "Go" and "Search" buttons, but all other text is tiny, I think the "o" is only seven pixels high or so, even though I've specified in my browser preferences that the default sans serif font should be Arial 24.

Users can expand the toolbar based. Power users can expand the toolbar to access specialized tools. Special characters and help references (cheat sheet) are built into the toolbar for easy access. Special characters are displayed based on the configuration of each language site. Toolbar icons are redesigned by reusing Tango and Gnome icons. * '''Improved search interface''' :Search result page is often the entry point to articles. The visibility of relevant results are increased by removing the clutter. * '''General aesthetic improvements''' :Some aesthetic improvements have been applied for visual enhancements and redundant information has been removed. *'''Opt-in/Opt-out switch and survey''' :As the features above are deployed as one of the user preferences, Opt-in/Opt-out page allows logged in users to turn on and off multiple preferences for the usability initiative at the same time.

The fact that they are 3D, stylized in different fonts, and drop-shadowed makes it very difficult to tell what the icons' functions are at first glance. Also, I know that you guys want to get away from using "B" and "I" as they are english-centric, but please consider that those letters are used as icons for "bold" and "italic" in countless programs, WYSIWYG editors, and other environments across the world, regardless of language. I imagine most web-literate people across the world recognize their meaning even if they don't know the words they stand for. If usability is our top priority, we shouldn't be abandoning recognizability for eye-candy. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 18:11, 21 July 2009 (UTC) : I second this.

[[Special:Contributions/166.77.6.4|166.77.6.4]] 18:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC) I think you should have text below them. [[User:Werdna|Werdna]] 16:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC) :Probably it'd be sufficient to make the lines finer for the non-bold buttons to emphasize the difference between bold and non-bold.

However, I was hoping for full WYSIWYG editing, something along the lines of WordPress' in-browser editor. Where the editing window displays the output of complex templates as one adds content to it. As well as the option to switch between WYSIWYG and code editing modes. Just two cents from a Wiki-markup-impaired editor. :) [[User:BlazerKnight|BlazerKnight]] 02:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC) :The usability has [[Environment Survey/MediaWiki Extensions/Results|already evaluated]] several editors. Many users denounce here ([[Talk:Prototype#Color-coding_wiki_code|include me]]) of adding anything more than color highlighting. Anyway, there has not be a system to date that deals with templates effectively. [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 13:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC) ::And many other users, including participants in the usability initiative, roundly desire WYSIWYG editor.

The solution to that is NOT to make naive users learn wikicode, but to keep color and size tools OFF the WYSIWYG toolbar - it's possible to only provide the tools which are relevant in a particular content repository. Wikimedia doesn't even have color highlighting now - in fact, wikicode itself doesn't have syntax for text color, as far as I know. Leaving aside the question of adding a new wiki textformatting feature, why in the world would you support WYSIWYG for color but not for any other format? How would you even implement that? You'd need 2 views - one for wikicode and one for WYSIWYG and "live preview". To go to the effort to develop that and NOT provide the rest of the format tools would be criminal. Last point: newbies aren't the only ones who would find WYSIWYG useful. I'm fluent in wikicode but it's still hard to read "bare". WYSIWYG or "live preview" would really help make lengthy edits, reading coded text looking for errors or one-word vandalisms, and similar tasks more efficient and enjoyable. This idea that "it's '''supposed''' to be hard, you're '''not''' supposed to enjoy it" is contrary to the values of Wiki culture. It reinforces perceptions of elitism on the part of the cabal, and it assumes bad faith on the part of newcomers.

However the editing toolbar and advanced editing toolbar themselves are capable of great improvement. The actual icons are not good choices ''("italic" is in a heavy font so the "bold" icon looks like "normal" weight, "a+" is explained textually but not visually intuitive, "baseline" is a technical term)''. Also, the choice of which icons to display is an issue. Last, several icons just insert wiki markup, leaving the user the same job of working it out from there. I would propose a simpler and more effective main toolbar, like this: [[File:FT2 toolbar mockup 1.png|center]] These are the main icons a user needs. The icons are simpler, and improved. For example the icon for a reference shows an actual citation, which is how most users see cites, rather than a book which could mean anything (scan the text in? add a quotation from a book?). The icon for signature is at 45°, to imply the pen is moving. There is one icon for links not two (the popup allows users to enter both kinds, and clues such as "http://", common TLDs, or spaces in the name will guide interpretation in the vast majority of cases). I would then ensure that the options requiring parameters, such as tables links and references, have a popup, drop down, or other box, in which the user can enter the most common options, so they don't need to edit the markup: [[File:FT2 toolbar mockup 2.png|center]] Finally, the following icons might be useful, but not often or to most users - most users don't need to vary text heights, and most articles and discussions (sciences and math aside) don't have great use of super and subscript. Have these as an optional "show more formatting options on the toolbar" (''not'' "advanced"), but don't show them by default: [[File:FT2 toolbar mockup 3.png|center]] [[User:FT2|FT2]] 01:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC) :FT2, I like very much this toolbar: I see it so simple, so understandable, so harmonious. --[[User:Zyephyrus|Zyephyrus]] 10:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC) ::I'm not too impressed with the icons, but you have the right idea.

Not all projects have the same types, but this can easily be managed via a local "Mediawiki:" page containing the local data (see below). The end result to the user for clicking the "reference" icon on en-wikipedia would be a popup like this: [[File:FT2 toolbar mockup 4.png|center]] The center portion adapts according to the selection in the top box. The config for this is in a Mediawiki: page on the local project, of the form: <pre> Citation from a news source template = cite news url = URL (web link) title = Title pubdate = Publication date pubname = Publisher's name (names of other parameters for this type of entry...) Note_text: News sources used should be (whatever) Citation from a book template = cite book title = Book name pubname = Publisher pubdate = Date published firstname = Author first name lastname = Author last name (other parameters) Note_text: Books must be reputably published, see [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. .... .... Any other citation or reference note: Note_text: Please enter the text for the note below. </pre> The unindented items are the "standard types of reference" for this project, shown in the "type" dropdown box. When a user selects a "type", if it has a "template" with one or more parameters <span style="white-space:nowrap;">(format: <tt>param_name = user_prompt</tt>)</span>, these will be presented to the user for entry as well, and any note will be presented as guidance. A freeform "additional text" box is always available. Optionally it would be trivial to mark mandatory fields with a * or allow a default (eg for date checked). In each case, the resulting reference contains the named template (if any) with their named parameters, followed by the freeform text (if any). The prompts should allow markup so they can link to explanatory text in a popup or new window, or else a "help" icon linking to such a page. Instant references, customized with the common kinds of references defined project-by-project, easily updated, and neatly formatted. [[User:FT2|FT2]] 02:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC) : Very cool mock-up.

I've been a graphic designer and web programmer for several years now and I think this is a major step into the right direction for the Wikimedia Project. I've always been skeptical to things that concern Wikipedia's graphic design, mostly because the status quo is already quite good, but this beta has given me the hope that everything is going to work out just fine. One issue that I'd like to raise, however, concerns the contents of the edit box--they get lost when navigating away. Monobook has a simple &lt;textarea&gt; in the source by default which works quite well because the browser keeps its contents around even when one is no longer on the same page as the element. I haven't checked exactly how it works in the beta, but I suppose it creates the element dynamically using JavaScript, which would break such behavior. I think it would be problematic, in this case, if someone was writing a long reply, then accidentally clicked one of the links below the editor. It's certainly an improvement that the editor initially prevents you from navigating away (the old one doesn't, forcing the user to either go back later or press the stop button). However, my concern is that modal windows can be scary in addition to being helpful--who hasn't accidentally clicked "no" when asked if they wanted to save their document at some point? When the user does manage to navigate away from the page (which happened to me a while ago when I tried out a JavaScript editor for Wikipedia), the contents of his edit are completely lost. It doesn't have to be that way, of course. I'm sure there's some way to fix it (maybe we should keep the original textarea around and wait for it to receive contents from the browser). But I'm foremostly interested in whether this is a known bug and if a solution is already in mind. Otherwise I'd be happy to run some tests to see what would work. Thanks!

However a few things I noticed: * On the top of the page (to the right of Page, Discussion - to the left of Read, Edit and Try Beta) there's a lot of dead empty space that not only is caught by the eye (attracts attention) but also pushes the content further down. * The left sidebar has much valuable content but is out of attention and lacks attention. * The Personal Links on the top right looks like a stack of links that just eats space My idea is to: * move the navigation from vertical left to horizontal top. * Get rid of the sidebar (maybe make it an option in the settings, or make it expandable (from a 2px line with a button to the current sidebar) - or just get rid of it permanently * Make a roll-over - dropdown menu on the top right as something like "My Account", it saves space and is more usable i.m.o This makes more space, and at the same time gives room for more links.

In response to your comments, we wanted to share with you the reasoning behind our design and decisions and let you know that we are always open to change or being wrong. In the [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_and_Experience_Study Usability Study] we conducted in March, we aimed to uncover and discover barriers to editing that new users face with the current editing interface. Surprisingly (and not so surprisingly) we found that in addition to troubles users faced once they made it to an edit page - a large part of the problem was just getting to the edit page or more generally finding what one was looking for. "I'm thinking it's a little confusing, it's a lot of information," "There's a lot to look at right now," and "I'm not sure where to look" are just a few of the statements we hear repeatedly on article, help, and discussion pages. Statements like these were part of our motivation to tackle a skin redesign. In designing and developing Vector, one of our goals was to reduce the burdens of visual attention on users in the hopes that it will make navigating the site (to and on edit pages, watchlists, discussion pages, etc..) easier. Whether or not it accomplishes that, we are not yet sure. We increased that space believe that it made the User tools more distinguishable than the navigation tabs, making access to both of those areas of mouse action more readily identifiable and accessible, Gestalt style. We have an iterative process and part of this is receiving your comments. Another part of this is evaluating our changes. We will be conducting a second [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability,_Experience,_and_Progress_Study Usability and Experience Study in late September] and are also looking at the possibilities of [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Statistical_Evaluation statistical evaluation], bucket testing and (if we can make it happen) eye tracking. Just as we wouldn't want to implement a design without sufficient reason, we do not want to revert one without first evaluating it. Your comments have given us greater reason to look at this in our continuing evaluation. If it does not serve our goals, we will be changing it and re-evaluating until we find something that does! We are committed to improving the editing experience for new users and community members. Pleasing everyone on every aspect is an impossibility, but we are putting forth our best effort to make an overall improvement for everyone that comes and can contribute to Wikipedia. --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 21:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC) :I love the new layout of the header, except for the arrow next to "View History".

Obviously when new users sign up they are directed to the tutorials, but after they begin editing and find that other questions come up, it would be a pain to navigate back to the tutorials without strong knowledge of the ins and outs of Wikipedia.

Then the user needs to scroll to see everything, but no element of the interface stays hidden behind another like it does with Acai. Besides, even on a 1024x768 resolution, the search field would have to almost completely disappear (for example on the german "Wikipedia talk" pages, because of the "Projektseite"/"project page" and "Abschnitt hinzufügen"/"add topic" tabs), especially if a caption is added to the [v] button (I heard it was planed to call it "Actions" or something of the sort).

It's different from a link in the left nav (like "Help" or "Mainpage") so it should look different. * Achieve consistent design === Approach === * Real tabs (not open at the top). * Rounded corners * Gentle gradient background * Blue background indicates a link * Gray background (="empty tab") and red link indicates a not existing page == Layout == [[File:babco_layout.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Motivation === * Take advantage of horizontal screen real estate without sacrificing readability page/article contents * Create space for contextual editing tools on edit pages only * Design layout of right navigation bar for possible inclusion in all Wiki pages. * Achieve a more predictable layout * Improve readability of article content without alienating any particular browser/screen configuration of our users === Approach === * Fixed width left and right columns * Elastic content column * Accommodates users with smaller (800X600) screens and is ideal for our users average screen size * Right column only exists on edit pages. == Color Scheme == [[File:colorScheme.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Motivation === * Add more visual cues for page navigation, points of interaction, action, selection, etc. * Carefully use color for emphasis of page, tabular, and organizational structure. === Approach === * Maintain historical consistency with wiki colors - blue for links, red for yet-to-be-started pages, yellow for selection - in a unified color palette. * Maintain sitewide consistency with colors across different pages. * Use more readable and differentiable colors. I.e. the dk. gray tested by many online newspaper sites. Use highlight, selected, dynamic, or static cue colors when appropriate. * Introduce color only as needed to solve specific navigation issues. == Toolbar Upgrades: Icons == <!-- This design was created by Juxn on July 12th 2009 --> [[File:090712 babaco toolbar.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1|GNOME icons]] === Motivation === * Improve comprehensibility * Achieve consistent design === Approach === * Adapting Gnome-Icons * Monochrome and simple in color treatment * Gentle shiny "button" style === Resources === *Learn how to make a "Bold" or "Italics" icon for your language [[Babaco Designs/Icon Localization|here]]. == Toolbar Upgrades: Button Interaction == [[File:button_interaction.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Motivation === * The current toolbar has a singular mode of interaction * We want the buttons to reinforce selection: This reinforces the user's sense of it being "click able" and their mouse selection. * We want it to reflect state: If my cursor is in a section that is already bold, it would be beneficial to have the toolbar/buttons convey this. === Approach === * Add mouse over behavior to toolbar buttons to improve interaction and experience. * Explore the possibilities of the syntax highlighting/development necessary to enable the toolbar with 2-way interaction. * If possible, add "selected" look and behavior to toolbar buttons. == Toolbar Upgrades: Dialogs == === Motivation === * Make it as easy to add links, images, references as it is to add and format text. * Allow users to create and insert these without needing to know wiki syntax * Create an intermediate between rich-text and wiki syntax for special insertions: links, references, media, tables [[File:contentGeneration.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Approach 1 === * Create dialogs that can be used for insertion, but that can also be used for editing those links, references, etc. * Be as smart and give as much feedback to the user when creating/inserting these elements * Achieve consistency of interaction across all dialogs. <div style="clear:both"></div> [[File:Wireframe-Babaco-Dialogs.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Approach 2 === * Unified UI for internal and external links using software to guess the intention of the user, but still allow the user to force the link to be internal or external * Give feedback for internal links as to whether the link is to an existing page or not * Greatly simplify the options for tables * Provide a preview of what the table will look like <div style="clear:both"></div> [[File:Ideas for tabledialog.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] ===Insert table dialog=== Please visit [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/s-3/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit Sandbox3] to test the dialogs.

Therefor the preview should be named "Example" and should look not editable. (See mockup #1 - #2) * Maybe it is a wiser decision not to show this preview/example at all. (See mockup #4) == Editing Interface Improvements == [[File:Wireframe-Babaco-WikiEditor.pdf|thumb|200px]] === Motivation === * Users got lost while previewing * Users did not consistently locate and make use of the terms of contribution, edit summary, minor edit and watch controls * Users with different sized screens may wish to adjust the size of the table of contents or even hide it completely * Many users were not fully aware of the effects of clicking save (you've now changed Wikipedia!) === Approach === * Make preview a mode of the editing interface activated with a set of tabs * Only show terms of contribution, edit summary, minor edit and watch controls when a user clicks the publish button using a modal dialog. * Add hide and show control for the table of contents as well as drag-and-resize grips on the left side of the table of contents and a grip icon at the bottom. <div style="clear:both"></div> == Table of Contents + Help == [[File:contents.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] === Motivation === * Allow users to navigate the editing of the article as they do the article itself. * Give users a sense of where they are (or rather, their cursor is) in the structure of the article. * Possibly provide help in this right column real estate as well. === Approach === * Dynamically laid out table of contents. * Jumps to section on click * Scrollable. * Highlights current section. <div style="clear:both"></div> = Beyond Babaco = Some early designs looking forward past the Babaco Release. == Left Navigation == == Full Screen Edit Mode == [[File:fullScreen.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] ==== Motivations ==== * More screen real estate for editing tools and help * A more "defined" editing process and space * Simplifying the editing experience by removing less useful links and navigation. ==== Approach ==== * Use left and right columns for non-toolbar editing tools * Keep main sitewide navigation * Remove less relevant sitewide links == Messages == [[File:messages.pdf|thumb|200px|page=1]] ==== Motivation ==== * Prevent messages on discussion pages (as well as article pages) from overwhelming users and distracting from the content. * Prevent messages from taking a full screen of real estate - obscuring content. * Give users control for how they view, show, hide messages. ==== Approach ==== * Make messages collapsible * Provide toggle to show and hide messages * User right column for messages on article pages? * Ranking system for message type? == Discussion == ==== Motivation ==== * Users were not able to easily identify the timeline of discussions * Users had trouble knowing where to contribute to the discussion * Users often did not know how to, that they should, or simply forgot to add a signature * Processes like Featured content and deletion candidates must have complex templates and be managed manually ==== Approach 1 ==== [[File:Design-LiquidThreads-1.png|thumb|200px]] * Made posting isolated, as opposed to editing entire discussion * Enforced structure of discussion to represent threading and order * Posts are always signed automatically * Enable users to watch only their discussion * Set default parameters and structure automatically * See also [[strategy:Proposal:Stop using wikis for tasks for which wikis are not suitable]] <div style="clear:both"></div> ==== Approach 2 ==== [[File:Wireframe-LiquidThreads-1.pdf|thumb|200px]] * Integration of reply and internal link views into the post they are in relation to * Avoid obscuring information with the toolbar <div style="clear:both"></div> qeled1guwhqa06kq0nxllddq1w20unb 6 399 1928 2009-07-09T08:25:28Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1928 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 400 1929 2009-07-09T08:43:35Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1929 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 401 1930 2009-07-09T08:43:46Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1930 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 402 1931 2009-07-09T09:02:06Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1931 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 403 1932 2009-07-09T09:08:12Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1932 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 404 1933 2009-07-09T09:09:23Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1933 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 405 1934 2009-07-09T09:10:33Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 1934 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 0 406 7059 6570 2010-05-17T16:56:34Z 82.74.192.60 /* Comments */ ++ 7059 wikitext text/x-wiki __NEWSECTIONLINK__ *<big>To discuss the Vector skin or anything else go to [[Talk:Prototype]].</big> *<big>To discuss the current Toolbar go to [[Toolbar]].</big> For the Babaco Design we consider to create new icons for the toolbar: * to have more comprehensible icons (for bold and italic for example) * to have icons that will be in a line with the website design So at the moment there are 3 questions where we need your opinion about, but feel free to say anything about icons on this page. ==Bold and italic== '''1.''' [[File:Icons a a.jpg]] * In Acai we used the GNOME Icons. * This is not bound to a specific language. "a" just represents any letter. '''2.''' [[File:Icons b i.jpg]] * These letters make more sense ("b"=bold "i"=italic) * This might not be comprehensible for non english speakers. * Or maybe it is being used so much that it is kind of universal. What do you think? Are there any people from non english speaking countries? ===Comments=== (Please post your comments here) I feel strongly that names of cities and countries should be used in their original languages (in other countries) (e.g., Deutschland, not Germany nor Allemagne nor Germania nor Alemanha; France, not Frankreich nor Francia; España, not Spain nor Espagne nor Spagna; Napoli, not Naples nor Neapel; Venezia, not Venice nor Venedig nor Veneza). Icons instead should be "universal" : we should not use "B" (for "bold") and "I" (for "italic") in English; nor, in French, "g" (for "Gras") and "i" (for "Italique"); nor, in German, "F" (for "Fett") and "K" (for "Kursivschrift"); nor, in Italian, "g" (for "grassetto") and "c" (for "corsivo"). That leaves us with Wikipedia's "universal" icon as explained: * In Acai we used the GNOME Icons. * This is not bound to a specific language. "a" just represents any letter. We need this icon to be simple and logical: as an artist, I feel that the italic "a" is pretty nice and clear, but I really do not like the design of the bold "a"... especially because it looks more like an "Inline effect" or "outline", than "bold". Improving the "a"s icon is easy enough. [[User: Siamodiversi]] 15 September 2009. 2009.09.15 Note that for the classic toolbar, we use B and I icons for bold/italic. Some months ago we introduced localized variants of them (and some others), which you can under skins/common. It's easier not to maintain more icon variants, of course... ;) --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] 04:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC) I ve been talking to two chinese students today. They said that even though they know '''b''' and ''i'' from chinese-software they didn't know the meaning b="bold" and i="italic". So they said that it makes no difference if the letters are '''b''' and ''i'' or '''a''' and ''a'', since the letter actually are '''bold''' and ''italic''. Than I asked a french student, who didn't know b=bold and i=italic and was very confused about the icons. He said he would prefere '''a''' and ''a''. Than I asked two german students, they knew the meaning of b and i, even though the letters '''f''' and ''k'' are used in german. Nevertheless all of them said, that the current '''a''' and ''a'' icons are confusing, because both letters are in different typefaces. It should rather be the same typeface in bold and italic.--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 07:54, 10 July 2009 (UTC) The best thing would be to have different letter for each language. German: '''F''' and ''K'', English: '''B''' and ''I'' and so on. People find what they are used to and don't get confused. I'm not used to the icons that are currently used and had to think about their meanings. As Brion mentioned above localized variants are alredy possible. -[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 11:46, 10 July 2009 (UTC) :By the way, I'm missing the signature button on discussion pages.

[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] 21:00, 27 January 2010 (UTC) In Italian-localized Office programs the bold icon is almost always a '''g''' (for "grassetto", shortcut CTRL-G), while the italic icon used to be localized as a ''C'' (for "corsivo") but is now a capital ''<tt>I</tt>'' (even the shortcut is CTRL-I). I guess any letter will be fine, as long as it is clearly recognizable as being bold or italic. I think an uppercase ''<tt>I</tt>'' (in a serif font) would be more recognizable than ''i''. Also, in my (very humble) opinion, if the keyboard shortcuts are not localized, neither should be the icons. --[[User:Arcturus4669|Arcturus4669]] 15:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC) A general study: *About the Italic icon: The idea of using I for ''Italic'' is probably more because the letter "I" can be shown diagonally better than any other letter. Text editors use the Times new roman font for displaying this because the capital I has two horizontal lines which display the diagonal line (when in italic) better. *About the Bold icon: The main problem here is that the current Bold icon when compared to the italicized one doesn't look that much thicker. *About the relation between "B" and "I": The advantage of the two letters together is that they show each others function better.

The third icon is best, abc sounds like a dictionary, while "link" is recognizably a [[word]], as most wiki links are, even if it's foreign. How does it look with the underline? For the bold italic, perhaps an icon with thee I and B in the foreground (like the hand cursor), with '''bold''' and ''itali'' in the background (like "link"). External links should probably add that ugly little arrow - or perhaps http should be in place of 'link'. How does link look underlined?

Instead of trying to represent the link itself in the icon, why not symbolise what it points to; i.e. a page? This fits in better with users' thought processes when adding links and would allow the use of the same pointing hand symbol along with a page (or pages) behind it for internal links and a globe behind it for external (i.e. web) links. The chain icon is OK, but the current design is unclear and would work better if two or more links of the chain were fully visible, perhaps in a diagonal top-left to bottom-right orientation.

I agree that links and signatures are difficult, but it should be entirely possible to have different icons, and different organizations of special characters, on different wikis.

I also think that we should be as simple as possible: the globe and chain, or even plus and minus for text size, can be illustrated more simply by literally showing the result, accompanies by a few handy letters and words. But even if you don't like the icons, I think that it is important to have a consistent feel to these icons, as I have tried to do. What do you think? [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] 17:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC) :A little late, but I like the consistency.

It is a nice approach to show the result as an icon, I totally agree, that this can be much more intuitiv. But very often this works only for experienced users. For example: your reference-icon, no-wiki-sytnax-icon, redirect-icon are not comprehensible for someone who doesn't know wiki-syntax. It is very important to us to create icons that can be understood by new users. (Actually I think, that experienced users don't use the toolbar that much anyway.) I like your link-icons, but I think we can't do it like that, since we don't use underlined links in WP. But this is very close to my layout no3 and no4 (see above). Further we decided to use the GNOME Icon set as much as we can and add new Icons in that style if we need them. So basically the icons in babaco will stay the same (like in acai).

I agree that the links may be a work in progress, but I think they work at least as well the globe and chain (which, if you aren't familiar with them from other programs, are not intuitive at all).

I agree definitely. Hope the usability team is going to consider these issues. Until now they haven't posted any comments on these topics. --[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 19:54, 1 September 2009 (UTC) ==Toolbar Upgrades: Icons== The 3 points listed under "Approach" seem a bit schizophrenic: * Adapting Gnome-Icons * Monochrome and simple style * Gentle shiny style These seem like 3 divergent approaches to me. "Monochrome and simple" is what we already have. "Adapting Gnome-Icons" is what was done in Acai. "Gentle shiny style" seems like something totally different from the other two. Personally, I think we should shoot for icons similar to the TinyMCE icons: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php. Simple, recognizable, and attractive. The gnome icons often fit the bill, but occasionally are too fancy IMO. Colors are useful, so I don't know why we would want to restrict ourselves to monochrome. "Shiny"? Isn't that a bit 1998? Anyway, don't mean to sound too critical. You guys are doing a great job so far. FWIW, I used to be a designer for a web app company, so let me know if I can help. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 19:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC) :Those TinyMCE icons look to have been ripped straight from Microsoft, there could be copyright concerns. I think the proposed icons are very nice and professional looking. [[User:The wub|The wub]] 12:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC) ::Sure they look good, but are they usable? Many of them don't seem very recognizable to me. The table icon, for example, looks more like a calculator. I didn't say we had to use the TinyMCE icons. I just said we should shoot for icons that were similar. I think adapting the Gnome icons was a good first step. I don't see why we need to abandon that work in favor of using a totally new set of shiny monochrome icons. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 18:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC) == Reverse video please == I and many other people (as witnessed by the green-on-black Monobook gadget) prefer green text on a black background in low light conditions, but with links white instead of blue (red is fine in reverse video.) Please make sure there is a corresponding gadget for Vector if at all possible and Babaco. If you can't find usability subjects willing to volunteer in the dark, please, think of the astronomers. Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/99.22.93.63|99.22.93.63]] 17:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC) :I think that once we have icons and layout done, swapping colors (considering how tight colors are controlled) shouldn't be too hard. [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] 03:15, 10 August 2009 (UTC) == Watch page == I use the watch feature extensively, and feel the current Babaco design is inferior in one aspect. The watch page selection is no longer visible without a mouseover on the down arrow. This is fine for the not heavily-used selector, but having an indication of whether the page is watched or not is useful to me. It would be good to have a visible status message (maybe an icon, or text) saying that the page is watched. The current mechanism could be left for selecting watch and unwatch, but i don't like to have to do an extra mouseover to see if a page is watched or not. Looks good otherwise, though! Cheers, —[[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 21:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks Fudoreaper. You are not alone - in the latest beta, we have made the watch/unwatch visible again in the tabs (as a star). --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 01:03, 24 November 2009 (UTC) == [edit] links and [show] links - right vs left == Hi. I've always been slightly confused/irritated by the way we put both the subsection [edit] links on the right, and the [show] links in templates on the right. I hypothesize that this leads to readers not noticing the [show] links, and thereby missing all that material. I tried to summarize it (plus the related details) at [[en:Template talk:Navbox/Archive 8#Why is View Discuss Edit on the left, instead of the right?]] in June 2008, but I don't think I was understood. Perhaps the usability team might understand what I was getting at? (Feel free to move this thread, if there is a more appropriate location for this idea/concern. Thanks.) [[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 18:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC) :I agree. The usability team had some nice thoughts about the edit button on the Acai designs, but those improvements were not included in the release. I wonder why ? I do believe [[:File:Design-SectionEditLinks-2.pdf]] is a great idea. :Concerning the Navbox, I guess the usability team cannot change it. The [show] button is created in [[:w:Mediawiki:Common.js]], and it's content depends on the editors. It doesn't seem to be related to the skin ? However, it would be great to replace the [show] button by the usual icon, have the button near to the title, and move "v d e" to the right. {| style="border:1px solid #ccc; background-color:#f8f8f8; width:100%; text-align:center;" | style="width:90%; | {| <div style="align;center;">Capital cities of the Member States of the European Union <span title="Show Capital cities of the Member States of the European Union">[[File:Icône ouverture boîte déroulante sans cercle.svg|26x16px|link=]]</span></div> |} | style="width:10%; font-size:95%; text-align:right;" | <span title="view this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">v</span></span> <span title="discuss this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">d</span></span> <span title="edit this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">e</span></span> |} {| style="border:1px solid #ccc; background-color:#f8f8f8; width:100%; text-align:center;" | style="width:90%; | {| <div style="align;center;">Capital cities of the Member States of the European Union <span title="Hide capital cities of the Member States of the European Union">[[File:Icône fermeture boîtes déroulantes sans cercle.svg|26x16px|link=]]</span></div> |} | style="width:10%; font-size:95%; text-align:right;" | <span title="view this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">v</span></span> <span title="discuss this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">d</span></span> <span title="edit this template"><span style="color:#0000CC">e</span></span> |- | Example of content: Amsterdam · Athens · Berlin · Bratislava · Brussels · Bucharest |} [[Special:Contributions/89.217.199.175|89.217.199.175]] 23:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC) ::Exactly!

[[User:Teofilo|Teofilo]] 11:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC) :[http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_and_Experience_Study See here]--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 08:46, 23 September 2009 (UTC) == Discussion pages & freedom == What you propose is perhaps not very different from what has been used for 4 years on the French language Wikipedia, with straight lines separating different people's messages and an alternance of two colours (light yellow and darker yellow) : see [[:fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro]] for example. This design was chosen freely 4 years ago by the French speaking community. However, I don't think this sort of things should be decided and imposed by the Wikimedia Foundation (or by the Stanton Foundation) to all language communities. Please Let wiki communities choose freely to opt in or opt out. [[User:Teofilo|Teofilo]] 11:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks Teofilo - all of our features + releases are opt-in only at the moment. == Your opinion that "Messages" (I'd rather call them "warnings") should be collapsible == I think you are missing the point of why warning messages are there in the first place. Yes the purpose of warning messages is to "distract users from the content", as you put it. Sometimes problems are so serious, that users should be grateful that they have been distracted away from a specific page. For example, when a page contains a copyright violation warning. For example when the page contains a "non neutral/ article is biased" warning. If a message is truely useless, the good attitude is to edit the page and remove it. If a message is here for a useful purpose, the good attitude is * to read it * to solve the issue * to remove it after you have solved the issue. Making warning messages collapsible somehow promotes a kind of "this is not my business, other people will work on the problem and solve it" way of thinking. But what we want on wikis is that users feel concerned and work on the pages in order to solve problems when problems occur. You are thinking of users as passive consumers. But users on wikis should be thought as being empowered and responsible. [[User:Teofilo|Teofilo]] 12:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC) :Do not worry. This collapsible option will be easy to use, so the reader will be able to decide whether to read the messages or not, as he wishes. :Some readers (or probably many readers) do not want to read too many warnings. They know they are on Wikipedia anyway, so they will be cautious. If they want to read the warnings, they will uncollapse the warnings. :I support the collapsible warnings, the readers will be more at ease with this option. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 09:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC) == Ranking system for message type? & freedom == I would be extremely disappointed if the Wikimedia Foundation imposed its views rather than let language communities choose freely what kind of warning messages they want to use. On the French Wikipedia, warning messages are divided into 3 ranks ("serious", "moderate", and "information") but this was chosen freely by discussion, consensus, vote : see [[:fr:Wikipédia:Prise de décision/Changement de style des messages d'avertissement]]. [[User:Teofilo|Teofilo]] 12:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC) == A general review == A section by section review (with questions) of the proposed improvements, compiled by {<nowiki>{</nowiki>[[User:Nihiltres|Nihiltres]]<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:Nihiltres|talk]]}<nowiki>}</nowiki> 05:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC) I'll add some more on the "Beyond Babaco" changes later. === Tabbed navigation === *The closed tabs seem good for usability, though the open tabs are prettier, in my humble opinion. (I hope that the open tabs will remain a skin option (or separate skin) with the introduction of the Babaco release…) *The orange "selected" colour in the current tab preview (identified as #E5902E in the palette) does not pass a contrast analysis test. According to an analysis program, it has a contrast ratio of 2.4:1 with the off-white #F9F9F9 (for comparison, the WCAG recommends that ''large'' text have at least 4.5:1). For some colour-blind people, the ratio can be even lower. This is not good, especially given that the orange is intended to be a highlight for an active element. *The dark-grey text (#666666) on the blue tabs (#BCE4FC) also does not pass the contrast analysis test. According to the analysis program, it has a contrast ratio of 4.3:1, which is slightly below the suggested value of 4.5. For smaller text, this becomes more of a problem, but this isn't as big a deal as the orange, which even I find hard to focus on in the current mock-up. === Layout === *I find this section somewhat unclear. Would you make the explanation more descriptive, please? *I worry that a right-hand navigation bar would sacrifice a lot of screen space. Mightn't it be too wide on small screens, too tall, or require some other modification? *What will this right-hand bar be used for? Is there an idea of a purpose for it yet, or is it merely a spacing design, so far? === Colour scheme === *This looks relatively nice and cheery. *Can the number of greys be practically reduced? (Just asking … can it be made simpler without sacrificing some distinction? "No" is a perfectly good answer.) **Can the meaning of some of the labels be clarified? "Lines" and "Boxes" is very vague. *Contrast checking is generally a good idea, for text-related colours at least. For example, of the grays, only the #373737 "officially" passes a contrast test with the orange #E5902E. Minor adjustments can make a big difference. === Toolbar upgrades === *I have nothing to say here; I like what I've seen so far for the buttons, and interactivity and dialogs are great so long as they're compatible with all JavaScript-capable browsers and, well, feasible. I'd love to see something like the FCKeditor eventually, though. : Thank you for your review. Which programm did you use fot the contrast analysis test?--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 19:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC) == Dialogs for Inserting and Edit Links == I really like the direction that the design is going with one exception: the use of dialog boxes for inserting and/or editing links. Whilst this makes perfect sense in a WYSIWYG environment, the use of dialogs is somewhat intrusive and inconsistent with the way that other formatting options work. Dialogs work well for operations that involve several steps, such as uploading an image file, or the selection of complex options, but the basic linking syntax is sufficiently simple that users pick it up fairly quickly, and the introduction of a dialog box merely adds another level of interaction and complexity that is (IMO) out of place in a wiki. Using the latest dialog, for example, creating a link now takes three clicks instead of one. Of course, users don't have to use the dialogs, but it is useful to be able to type or copy and paste a section of text and then use the buttons to add the relevant markup around the selected text. This is how most of the other toolbar buttons work and represents a good balance between ease of use and helping novice users to learn how to use wikitext. No doubt many novices would prefer the use of a dialog box since they are unfamiliar with the markup syntax, but I'm concerned that adopting this as the default model for link entry is in danger of sacrificing ease of use for ease of learning. Whilst both are important, I think the toolbar should be optimised for frequent use and efficiency, rather than making it as easy as possible for novices at the cost of adding extra interaction and complexity for everyone else. I suspect that the best way of making it easier to edit wiki text would be to introduce full WYSIWYG editing, in which case dialogs would be used exclusively for link creation and editing. In the meantime, I think it's best not to mix the two editing models and to stick with the old web link/internal link buttons (although perhaps reversing the order). Another possibility might be to offer both these buttons and an advanced 'link options' dialog which offers drop-down selection of namespaces, category links, sub-pages, headings etc. allowing users to make use of the full range of linking options. However, this would be very much a power-user feature, and not the standard way of adding or editing links, which should be kept as simple and streamlined as possible. -- [[User:Philoscoffee|Philoscoffee]] 09:41, 25 August 2009 (UTC) == Places and actions == I'll start by saying how much better Babaco is than Acai, in every way - I'm really looking forward to it reaching public beta stage and think it will be very well received. I think it is worth considering, regarding the top navigation, whether it would be logical to differentiate actions and places. Hence, Edit not being a visual tab, but a clickable button, whereas "Article" is a place and therefore a tab. [[w:User:Pretzels]] == When is the release date for Babaco ? == The Babaco release seems to be extremely userfriendly. I am organising large-scale educational activities with Wikipedia, and I am preparing tutorials to make it easy for teachers. Surely Babaco would make it really easier. : I agree! [[Special:Contributions/18.85.49.46|18.85.49.46]] 02:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC) Could you tell me the approximate release date for Babaco ?

It's about the accessibility of the [[:File:Release-Babaco-01.png|link dialog box]]. As explained in W3C's techniques for WCAG 2.0, we must [http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/G14.html ensure that information conveyed by color differences is also available in text]. When inserting a link, a box appears. In that box, there is a coloured square that indicate wether the article exist (green) or not (orange). This information is not clear for regular users (at first, I was wondering what it meant), and is not accessible for screen readers users. That makes two good reasons to add some text, like "<span style="background-color: #00FF00">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> this article exist", or "<span style="background-color: #00FF00">this article exist</span>". Thanks.

To change these usually you'd go through either the [[w:WP:VPT]] or on the template's talk page such as [[w:Template:Orphan]]. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] 03:49, 20 September 2009 (UTC) == Icons == [[File:Usability icons.png|thumb|300px|Another proposed set of icons. The bottom row would normally be hidden.]] I have posted this image of my ideas for icons on the [[Opinion Icons]] page and received minimal response. So I posted it on this project page and they were removed by an anonymous user (who I'm sure is a good-faith user from another wiki, I'm just not sure who). Somewhere, there emerged the idea to use GNOME icons, and that was that. If there was a lengthy community discussion, I missed it, and would appreciate a link to it. If not, I feel that my icons have been unduly dismissed. They are uniform, simple (vector is a very uncluttered skin, GNOME icons have frills), and unique to Wikipedia, giving us our own [[:en:look and feel|look and feel]]. There were created a [[:en:vector graphics|vector graphics]] (no relation to the skin name), which means that they can be resized, edited, and localized easily. I am not insisting unilaterally that we use my icons. I am, however, asking for an explanation as for why the GNOME icons are so entrenched. If there is no good reason, I would like to discuss the merits and limits of each set, and for people to realize that an alternative exists. If a community discussion decides in favor of GNOME, that's fine - but to the best of my knowledge no such discussion has occurred. Let's have it now.

I am sorry if you got the impression that we unduly dismiss your ideas. By the way: The revert today was from a usabilityteam member, who forgot to log in.

But this is excactly our mission: We want to improve the editing process for new users.

I think the source of our friendly disagreement lies in the question of who uses the toolbar. In my experience, new editors do not create tables, or redirects, or galleries, or references. They usually don't even italicize text. The proof is in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideliu=1 pudding] - almost all anonymous contributions are letters, numbers, spaces, commas, and end-of-sentence punctuation. :I agree that there are difficult concepts to convey graphically, like signatures and links. I agree that we should make editing more intuitive, but I think the new help menu does an excellent job. We also need to consider our established users, to whom r^[1] means reference more than a book does. (And many of our sources are online anyway.) As we've seen [[Talk:Prototype#I_really_hope_there.27s_an_option_to_move_the_watchlist_back_into_the_tabs|elsewhere]], customization is an important part of the wiki. So why not offer editors a choice? :If nothing else, I like my icons for their aesthetic appeal. Vector is very careful with its use of [[Babaco_Designs#Color_Scheme|color]]. I think that introducing new colors, drop shadows, 3D letters, and so on from GNOME detracts from the unified feel of the new skin. I'm more than happy to try to render a globe or chain with the style I have used. But even if the default needs to be friendly to new editors (if those editors really use the toolbar), I would like a version more conducive to experienced editors to be available, and for stylistic consistency to be followed.

I use the TOC to find the section I want to read, then I may want to use the TOC again, to find another section I would like to read. I am obliged to return to the top of the page, and return to the article afterwards, and so on and so forth. A navigable TOC always on the right would be really helpful.

This behavior is highly unusual for an editor and therefore user-unfriendly. What should happen is that the attribute is changed, but the text remains selected so other attributes can be set for it. Also, the toolbar buttons should reflect the attributes of the currently selected text, i.e. "toggle" according to the state of an attribute, just like it happens in every other editor on the planet. This has nothing to do with WYSIWYG, and should be implemented regardless of whether the editor will one day become WYSIWYG or not. -- [[User:JovanCormac|JovanCormac]] 11:14, 5 October 2009 (UTC) == Opinion on the dropdown == Overal I like the Vector-skin a lot. Here a few things I'd like to point out as "Keep"'s in no particular order: * Search op top-right, that's were we expect it. * All page-related/-depending navigation/tools in the top-navigation * All site-wide navigation on the left-column * Right-navigation (Read, Edit, Watch etc.) automaticly puts items in the dropdown if it doesn't fit in the page-width. It's this last point that I'd like to point out a few annoyances about. == In/out of dropdown == Firstly, it only puts items out of the dropdown, if their origin is out of it. All buttons that are dynamicly added or user-specific (such as Delete, Rename, Block etc.) are stuck inside the dropdown. It would defintily cause me to switch full-time to Vector (I can live with the few bugs present in vector) if the sysop tools weren't forced in a dropdown, even on a with a wide window: [[File:ScreenshotKrinkle UnexpandedDropdown.png|thumb|center|800px|Screenshot of the Dutch Wikipedia's main-page from a sysop-POV.

[[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]] 22:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Just like the normal items (eg. View history) are forced ''into'' the dropdown when space doesn't allow it;<br /> non-default items (like Move, Delete, Block etc.) should move ''out of'' the dropwdown when space does allow it. :What would happen if there is place for some of these actions, but not for all? Would that seperate the actions, like Move and Delete is outside and everythink else is inside the dropdown? I guess that would be confusing.

What do you think?--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 16:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC) :: That sounds about right to me [[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]] 02:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC) == Hide/Seek Bug == Second thing is a small one. When resizing the window smaller, it seems "Read" and "Edit" aren't subject to going into the dropdown. Neither do they keep their position forcing a scrollbar. No, instead they hide behind "Page" and "Discussion". This is not a feature request, but a bug report in my opinion. I take it it's not made like that on purpuse. And now that I'm here I'd like to point out there are quite a few scripts flying around Wikipedia of which one in particular added extra top-nav buttons by JavaScript (such as "Google", which'd google the selected phrase (used for copyvio checks)) and some other buttons. It seems this ability either changed or is missing. It would be very handy if this ability can be added back in and/or documented how the new version works (ie. adding buttons to the nav, that play along with going in-and-out of the dropdown appropiatly). Greetings, [[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]] 22:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC) == Editor not usable on iPhones! == I recently tried the Babaco sandbox on my iPhone and I tried the editor, but we can not even focus the textbox. What we might have to do is test for mobile devices and use a normal editor for them. Here's a quick test in JavaScript: <pre> var agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); var phones = new Array("blackberry","nokia","iphone","symbain","nec","samsung","sony","nintendo"); //nintendo is for Wii and DSi consoles //iPhone also covers iPod Touch for (var i=0;i<phones.length;i++) { if (agent.indexOf(phones[i])<0) { //we're on a mobile or limited device, disable advanced editor here break; } else { //we're on a pc, load the advanced editor here break; } } </pre> Thanks. [[User:Kirbylover4000|Kirbylover4000]] 17:38, 19 January 2010 (UTC) :I second this concern. I often make small changes from my iPod, and the system should try to fail gracefully if it's not supported by the local hardware/software. Failing to a completely unadorned text box would be quite convenient for the iPod and iPhone, in fact, due to the way that their OS handles text boxes.

Especially on the iPad I think a 'less advanced' version is not a good idea. It has a good size display and browser and is capable of doing the 'real' thing. So why not make use of that ? The iPhone/iPod/other mobile browsers however might profit from a less-advanced version due to the screen-size.

I guess this project could be the right place to do it. --[[User:Flominator|Flominator]] 13:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC) == Thoughts from Dispenser == Some thoughts on the icons chosen: * The globe used for the external link icon, while near universal, is ambiguous. A better icon would just to use the icon that is next to external links ([[file:external.svg|12px]]). * The chain while a clever pun and used in many HTML authoring programs; it continues to remain unclear non-English speakers and those without prior experiance. * Image icon is hard to read, far too much detail. Perhaps using a paint brush or digital camera (looking at the backside display?). Earlier versions of Windows had wavy borders (like in old photos) were clearer to read. Another option is a simple screenshot of the floating image thumbnail. * I mistake this for a spell checking icon. This is likely due to a similar icon in the status bar in MS Word for background spell checking. "Advanced" should be renamed to "Extended", since it doesn’t actually provide the advanced features (that's in "Special Characters"!?!). The external link icon malfunctions with text selections. It should be able to detect the difference between the title and the links perhaps based on a regular expression. The new skin vector, while on the surface is a nice new design, it is unpolished in colors and screen real estate. The edit box bare fits into my Firefox’s window (netbook, screen resolution: 1024x800). This is annoying as I have to scroll the outer window. I would like to suggest the team look into making a scroll-less edit box with floating toolbars, such that there will only be the outer scroll bars at any time. Additionally about half the colors that the developer has chosen blending white or black and judging from PDF screenshots I'd say that they were bitten by darker gamma from [[w:Gamma_correction#Windows.2C_Mac.2C_sRGB_and_TV.2Fvideo_standard_gammas|older macs]]. How is the extensibility and customizability? Two items in English Wikipedia that would added immediately is a port of refTools and template menu/index system. A template tab would likely be all the amboxes and their inline equivalents that could be placed on another “tab”. This would appear much in the same way as files are displayed on OS X with a preview in the final pane. I would prefer if this was defer in loading. &emdash; [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 20:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC) :The toolbar is expandable with additional tool icons.

Using the "a" as indicator is a bad idea. Because of having another ''a'' for italic (single-story lowercase) it looks like you can switch the font type or something different.

Icon ! Size Before (in bytes) ! Size After (in bytes) |- | [[File:Icontest signature 1.png]] | 547 | 464 |- | [[File:Icontest signature 2.png]] | 437 | 346 |- | [[File:Icontest signature 3.png]] | 547 | 440 |- | [[File:Icontest signature 4.png]] | 635 | 493 |- | [[File:Icontest signature 5.png]] | 714 | 646 |- | [[File:Icontest signature 6.png]] | 493 | 413 |} The savings are modest, but there's no reason to not be '''losslessly''' compressing and optimizing them. Now if you look at icons currently in use such as {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! Icon ! Size Before (in bytes) ! Size After (in bytes) |- | [[File:arrow-down-icon.png]] | 288 | 142 |- | [[File:page-base.png]] | 214 | 90 |- | [[File:portal-break-ltr.png]] | 293 | 252 |- | [[File:user-icon.png]] | 345 | 270 |- | [[File:Wiki.png]] | 5539 | 4622 |} Now while the savings are only a kilobyte,there is much more that can be compressed in the toolbar. Together loaded millions of times, you can save bandwidth.

I came to the conclusion, which seems to be shared even by some among you to a certain extent, that wikimedia due to its lack of userfriendliness could not be used professionnally in the current state because editing required a significant knowledge of html (or its wikimedia subset) which can not be considered as largely widespread or be part of what some has named digital literacy. It thus required learning it, and of course if we want wikimedia to be used by anyone even for taking notes, this is learning something not related to their main business and they may not have time for that. This is why, even though I was enthused by its collaborative capability I felt it was impossible to ask people at my job to edit a wiki like they would do for a word processor document, it is already not easy to ask people to take time to document what they do, with the current userfriendliness of wikimedia, and the additionnal time required to edit, they would have drop out documenting. To be shared widely, I think wikimedia editing should be made as simple as word processors (which use is definitely part of digital literacy) and also featurewise rich enough. I think among the mandatory userfriendliness features it should be possible simply to : * choose the color of the text * choose the font * choose the size * introduce the possibility to outline with several colors * offer the possibility of foot notes * offer the possibility of comments all that in a simple maneer (agnostic to html) I don't know if all that is already included in the scope of your project but I think it is very important for people using widely wikimedia in their home or professionnal projects and therefore be sufficiently familiar with the edition possibilities that they feel no obstacle to one day editing wikipedia when they feel they can contribute. When I saw the news of this initiative I welcomed it very much, please make it really user friendly this is key (think of the market share taken by the iphone even with a very late release date compared to other phones, it mainly amounts to its user friendliness and ease of use... think about it). I read that important amount of money was dedicated to this excellent initiative. I think this is annother reason to reach for a real ease of use in order to maximize the impact of this investment and also because in general this kind of opportunity does not come twice. We support you in this well inspired initiative it is an opportunity to make the needed and decisive difference ! :Hoi, the key thing with every new application is that you appreciate what the application is about. Given that MediaWiki, the name of the software, is intended for collaborative editing, you have to look at what it is that you need as such. Several of the comments that you make are a bit bewildering. It is ok that you have to learn about what it is that the software does, MediaWiki is not a text processor, expecting all the attributes of a modern text processor may give the impression that it is a text processor. :It is possible to have different text sizes et al in Wikipedia. However it is not used that often because you are looking for a consistent look and feel. The point, MediaWiki is used professionally and teaching what is special about the software is important. This usability initiative should make many things more intuitive but it should not take away the notion that this is not text processing. Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 11:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC) == Still more suggestions on the edit-button bar == Hi, After playing some more with the prototype, a few more ideas occurred to me. * The Help ("cheatsheet") dropdown menu is great, but again you left off the discursive list (; and :). Perhaps you should at least mention indentation with the colon, since it's so common on Wikimedia projects? Practically every section of every Talk page has them on the English Wikipedia. * Again under the Help menu, I notice that you don't include ALT text in your example of a Figure caption. I understand that that's simpler for newcomers, but it's disappointing that we don't encourage accessibility for the visually impaired. * The Heading dropdown menu is likewise great, except that Level 1 shouldn't be listed, since it messes up the Table of Contents (see [[:en:User:Proteins/MoS_Nightmare]] for an illustration). The levels might be more intuitive for newcomers if the dropdown menu showed the levels more as they might appear in the article, e.g., with larger bolder fonts for the higher levels. (See the "What you get" column of the "Headings" section of the Help dropdown menu.) Bonus points: you should never allow the user to add a heading level that is more than one level lower than the present level, e.g., you shouldn't allow the user to add a H4 heading in the middle of an H2 section. That's a barrier to accessibility for the visually impaired and a major headache for the Manual of Style. * I would demote the boldface and italics edit buttons to the "Formatting" dropdown menu. That seems like the most natural grouping. For another thing, these two typefaces are not used that often in Wikipedia articles. Boldface is usually used once per article, in repeating the article title in the first sentence of the lead. Unless the article is being created from scratch, that sentence has usually been written already; therefore, most editors in most situations will never need the boldface button. The most common use of italics is in the inline citations (journal names), which are handled already by the citation templates. Thus, it's relatively rare that editors need to introduce italics. * Perhaps also under Formatting, you might add something for striking out text? That's also common practice on Wikipedia; for example, at FAC, one strikes objections as they are met by the nominator of the article. * Again, I would promote the "Headings" dropdown menu to the first (leftmost) position on the edit-button bar. I would discourage the use of external links by putting that one last. Lists seem less important than references (at least on Wikipedia) so you might put the three types of lists under the "Insert" dropdown menu. Hoping these new suggestions are helpful, [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 18:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC) == Problem with the headings and lists == When you select the text <code>== Foo ==</code> and then select level three from the headings dropdown, you get <code>===== Foo =====</code> instead of the expected <code>=== Foo ===</code>. The effect of the list buttons on multi-line selections is also not what one would expect. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 08:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC) == Treatment of "Headings" in editbox buttons == Thanks for making those changes, but I'm not sure that "Advanced" is descriptive enough? My main suggestion, though, is to promote the Headings dropdown menu to the main line, say next to the add image button. Also, as suggested above, you should remove the Level 1 option, or at least add safeguards. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 15:58, 27 June 2009 (UTC) == Footer and alerts == div#foot with license and copyright info looks much better with monobook skin. See http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/06/27/08/39/4149639_1280x275.png for real MediaWiki site. Also, EditWarning alerts (like any other javascript alert) are very annoying and should not be used by default. --[[Special:Contributions/85.141.235.251|85.141.235.251]] 16:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC) == EditWarning should be quiet after undo == The EditWarning extension is great -- warning that if you leave, your changes will be lost. However, the following use case should be fixed: # Edit a page # Type an "X" # Type ctrl-Z to undo # Click any link to leave the edit page Currently, EditWarning will pop up an alert. It should not, because nothing has changed. (Probably you are just keeping a "dirty" bit that indicates whether the edit box has been touched.) The simplest way to do this, in addition to your "dirty" bit, is to store the original wikitext when editing begins, and compare it to the current wikitext when the user tries to leave (window.onbeforeunload). I've been doing this in my own EditWarning-type extension and it works great, even for large pages. This is a small change, but if you suppress these unnecessary warnings, that is definitely good '''usability'''! --[[Special:Contributions/4.79.245.132|4.79.245.132]] 20:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC) ::I think this is an overhead, and there were no big benefit when this function would be implemented.

[[Special:Contributions/143.107.45.43|143.107.45.43]] 12:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC) Even better implement something like this extension that no longer seems to be supported (tried on V1.15.x Mediawiki) but had a good user-friendly approach: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TeX_Editor ==More suggestions for the edit page== At my suggestion, [[:en:User:Cacycle]] recently added a feature to wikEd which you might consider here. The feature collapses references and long templates into placeholders, which reveal their contents when clicked (my original idea) or onmouseover (Cacycle's implementation). I also suggested tables, although wikEd doesn't do that as yet. The advantages of this approach are several. First, references and templates such as infoboxes/navboxes are unfamiliar in syntax and usually stretch over many lines, sometimes even filling the visible edit box. This is particularly grievous at the beginning of the article, where long infoboxes are common and where most newcomers will first try to edit. By collapsing each of these long elements into a small labelled placeholder, you make the text ''far'' more readable, much closer to the article as read. In effect, this approach distinguishes between simple wiki-markup (links, section headings, italics) and complex wiki-markup (references, templates, tables). The simple markup is a much smaller "perturbation" of the normal article and much easier to learn. You might consider other innovations of wikEd for usability as well, such as its icons, its color coding, its find/replace mechanisms, its automated fixing routines, etc.. It's well-liked by many of Wikipedia's most productive editors. I've listed a few more ideas for wikEd on [[:en:User talk:Cacycle/wikEd]], which you might also consider. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 01:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC) PS. A third warning, please listen: Including "level 1" in the Heading dropdown menu is an invitation to disaster on a massive scale. If this new skin succeeds in recruiting thousands of beginning editors to Wikipedia, as we all hope, they will naturally choose level 1 for their first heading, right? I hope you know that '''level-1 headings are never appropriate on the English Wikipedia''', and I suspect most other languages and Wikimedia projects. Even if you ignore all my other suggestions here and above, please pay attention to this one. :The usability team is listening. Great point about level 1 heading is not appropriate for Wikipedia. How about external MediaWiki users though? We may need to find a way to customize for Wikipedia and MW project wikis. <br />P.S. Will check out content folding of wikiEd. Thanks for the pointer. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] 06:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC) ::Level 1 headings translate to h1 tags, which are normally only used to denote the title of the article. It is unlikely that many external MediaWiki sites would like to use multiple h1 tags, so IMO level 1 should be left out by default. If it is possible to customize the toolbar, the minority of wikis using L1 tags should be the ones to do that. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 20:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC) ==Line breaks== For complex (multiline) inserts like ''gallery'' or ''table'' implicit line breaks can help to recognize easily what has been inserted with one click.

Thank you.--[[User:Diaa abdelmoneim|Diaa abdelmoneim]] 10:24, 2 July 2009 (UTC) == Most block level elements should add a new line == I'll try to explain by example. Suppose I'm writing some text... <pre> Type, type and want to make next text bold '''click''' (Seems OK). And now I'm typing some more text and want to make a list... Go to a new line * OK. And now... click to go to next item?* wrong - same line </pre> Further more if I'm inside a line (not at the end) that has a list character, clicking on the list button should make the list disappear (this is would be similar to how it works office editors). But this could be a little tricky so another button for adding new list item should be added to avoid confusion. <pre> OK. Now I want to insert a table... Well this won't work:{| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! header 1 ! header 2 ! header 3 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |- | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |} </pre> BTW. I have this experimental table adder which you might use (I think I won't be able to finish this soon). It's not much but I guess it's better then just pushing the code straight away to the editing area (there is a simple, light editor that adds/removes new columns and rows and inserts code after finishing). I'm almost sure it worked in all modern browsers + IE 6, but it was quite a long time since I worked on it so I won't give my head on it. Some comments are in Polish so if you have a problem figuring something out just let me know. Anyway the code is here: [http://nux.w.of.pl/download/wiki/wp_ted_0.0.2.zip wp_ted_0.0.2.zip] a general class used for JS-pop messages (not in a new window): [http://nux.w.of.pl/download/wiki/sftJSmsg_0.0.5.zip].

A few thoughts... is it possible to reverse the "internal" and "external" links buttons, as per the standard tools? (While it is only a minor inconvenience remembering the order, I don't see an actual need to swap them - and having the external link button first might just inspire people to ''add'' them!)

So I'm trying to figure out how too add custom icons. So far I figured out that I have to do it onload and I can use label (instead of labelMsg) to use text (not read it from MediaWiki). But the problem is I cannot add new icons - as seems they have to be in <tt>.../extensions/UsabilityInitiative/EditToolbar/images/</tt>, which is not very useful for custom buttons. So is there a way to add an icon under a specific address e.g. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/thumb.php?f=Format-text-strikethrough.svg&width=22px this one]?

I think that the collapsible toolbar has great potential to make the default interface very simple while being extremely versatile and powerful. Someone mentioned wikiEd above and I think that we can excerpt some of its more commonly useful features for the main interface. Color coding, for example, promises to make the editing window more comprehensible to neophytes and veterans alike. I'd also like to see some way to hide references in the editing window, since in well-sourced articles they can make it very difficult to work with the flow of the text. Speaking of which, refTools is another handy gadget that could be integrated into the default editing space. And as for hiding, the list of pages transcended onto the current page is rather cumbersome. This should be hidden, or removed outright (it would improve load speeds and lessen server load). Does anyone think these are good ideas? [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] 02:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC) == Wasted space == The edit bar is enormous, like a child's editbar. The icons much larger than I need them to be. I thought perhaps that this change was because my laptop is not a 20" monitor, like is more and more the standard, but then the Advanced tab opens a new bloated line below rather than utilising the four inches to the right of "Help". It's bloated and ugly as far as I'm concerned. I'm against this sort of screen-creep. Someone above even said the icons need to be spaced out more. So this signals to me that more than one theme of editbar should be standard, as I cannot even conceive of how it needs /more/ space. I also don't want the toolbar to baby me. I know what ^ and V and + and - mean beside a font.

However, when the advanced toolbar is enabled, Firefox loses the editbox contents and every time restores it to the original state, losing all my changes. I know this is not a bug on UsabilityExtension’s part, but in Firefox, but this behavior is a showstopper for me nonetheless; the advanced toolbar had to go. (OK, as an experienced editor, I almost did not use the toolbar anyway…) For the more technically inclined: the problem seems to be triggered by wrapping the textarea to some divs (using jQuery’s wrap, which clones it in the process), ''and'' adding an input above it (in this case, the SELECT for Heading). I commented about the problem at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209292#c22 Maybe if the toolbar did not use the SELECT… --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] 15:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC) : It seems the toolbar has been tweaked so there is no SELECT anymore!

Before, I had no problem: I would type and the toolbar would eventually load, and once it did, nothing was disturbed. With the new toolbar, I tend to do the same: while the toolbar loads (it's usually the last thing to finish loading), I am already typing in the text area but as soons as it finishes loading, the focus on the edit area is lost. Some of my keystrokes are lost and I have to take the mouse to click on the edit area and recover focus. It would be great if this could be ammended. Right now, I disabled the new toolbar to avoid this effect. Thanks, [[User:Malafaya|Malafaya]] 13:59, 20 September 2010 (UTC) == Adding character attributes for symbols == Templates generally require that certain special characters, e.g., '''=''', be encoded if they are not to be interpreted as delimiters, e.g. <nowiki>{{tlx|rp|page=666}}</nowiki> must be encoded as <nowiki>{{tlx|rp|page&amp;#061;666}}</nowiki> in order to render as {{tlx|rp|page&#061;666}}.

To discuss the Vector skin, or anything else, go [[Talk:Prototype|Prototype]]|[[File:Edit-undo.svg|45px]]}} == Userfriendliness in Editing is Key == Hello, I never edited wikipedia but I installed a wikimedia wiki to assess it as a note taking tool and collaborative work at work and at home. I came to the conclusion, which seems to be shared even by some among you to a certain extent, that wikimedia due to its lack of userfriendliness could not be used professionnally in the current state because editing required a significant knowledge of html (or its wikimedia subset) which can not be considered as largely widespread or be part of what some has named digital literacy. It thus required learning it, and of course if we want wikimedia to be used by anyone even for taking notes, this is learning something not related to their main business and they may not have time for that. This is why, even though I was enthused by its collaborative capability I felt it was impossible to ask people at my job to edit a wiki like they would do for a word processor document, it is already not easy to ask people to take time to document what they do, with the current userfriendliness of wikimedia, and the additionnal time required to edit, they would have drop out documenting. To be shared widely, I think wikimedia editing should be made as simple as word processors (which use is definitely part of digital literacy) and also featurewise rich enough. I think among the mandatory userfriendliness features it should be possible simply to : * choose the color of the text * choose the font * choose the size * introduce the possibility to outline with several colors * offer the possibility of foot notes * offer the possibility of comments all that in a simple maneer (agnostic to html) I don't know if all that is already included in the scope of your project but I think it is very important for people using widely wikimedia in their home or professionnal projects and therefore be sufficiently familiar with the edition possibilities that they feel no obstacle to one day editing wikipedia when they feel they can contribute. When I saw the news of this initiative I welcomed it very much, please make it really user friendly this is key (think of the market share taken by the iphone even with a very late release date compared to other phones, it mainly amounts to its user friendliness and ease of use... think about it). I read that important amount of money was dedicated to this excellent initiative. I think this is annother reason to reach for a real ease of use in order to maximize the impact of this investment and also because in general this kind of opportunity does not come twice. We support you in this well inspired initiative it is an opportunity to make the needed and decisive difference ! :Hoi, the key thing with every new application is that you appreciate what the application is about. Given that MediaWiki, the name of the software, is intended for collaborative editing, you have to look at what it is that you need as such. Several of the comments that you make are a bit bewildering. It is ok that you have to learn about what it is that the software does, MediaWiki is not a text processor, expecting all the attributes of a modern text processor may give the impression that it is a text processor. :It is possible to have different text sizes et al in Wikipedia. However it is not used that often because you are looking for a consistent look and feel. The point, MediaWiki is used professionally and teaching what is special about the software is important. This usability initiative should make many things more intuitive but it should not take away the notion that this is not text processing. Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 11:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC) == Still more suggestions on the edit-button bar == Hi, After playing some more with the prototype, a few more ideas occurred to me. * The Help ("cheatsheet") dropdown menu is great, but again you left off the discursive list (; and :). Perhaps you should at least mention indentation with the colon, since it's so common on Wikimedia projects? Practically every section of every Talk page has them on the English Wikipedia. * Again under the Help menu, I notice that you don't include ALT text in your example of a Figure caption. I understand that that's simpler for newcomers, but it's disappointing that we don't encourage accessibility for the visually impaired. * The Heading dropdown menu is likewise great, except that Level 1 shouldn't be listed, since it messes up the Table of Contents (see [[:en:User:Proteins/MoS_Nightmare]] for an illustration). The levels might be more intuitive for newcomers if the dropdown menu showed the levels more as they might appear in the article, e.g., with larger bolder fonts for the higher levels. (See the "What you get" column of the "Headings" section of the Help dropdown menu.) Bonus points: you should never allow the user to add a heading level that is more than one level lower than the present level, e.g., you shouldn't allow the user to add a H4 heading in the middle of an H2 section. That's a barrier to accessibility for the visually impaired and a major headache for the Manual of Style. * I would demote the boldface and italics edit buttons to the "Formatting" dropdown menu. That seems like the most natural grouping. For another thing, these two typefaces are not used that often in Wikipedia articles. Boldface is usually used once per article, in repeating the article title in the first sentence of the lead. Unless the article is being created from scratch, that sentence has usually been written already; therefore, most editors in most situations will never need the boldface button. The most common use of italics is in the inline citations (journal names), which are handled already by the citation templates. Thus, it's relatively rare that editors need to introduce italics. * Perhaps also under Formatting, you might add something for striking out text? That's also common practice on Wikipedia; for example, at FAC, one strikes objections as they are met by the nominator of the article. * Again, I would promote the "Headings" dropdown menu to the first (leftmost) position on the edit-button bar. I would discourage the use of external links by putting that one last. Lists seem less important than references (at least on Wikipedia) so you might put the three types of lists under the "Insert" dropdown menu. Hoping these new suggestions are helpful, [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 18:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC) == Problem with the headings and lists == When you select the text <code>== Foo ==</code> and then select level three from the headings dropdown, you get <code>===== Foo =====</code> instead of the expected <code>=== Foo ===</code>. The effect of the list buttons on multi-line selections is also not what one would expect. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 08:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC) == Treatment of "Headings" in editbox buttons == Thanks for making those changes, but I'm not sure that "Advanced" is descriptive enough?

Also, as suggested above, you should remove the Level 1 option, or at least add safeguards.

See http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/06/27/08/39/4149639_1280x275.png for real MediaWiki site.

However, the following use case should be fixed: # Edit a page # Type an "X" # Type ctrl-Z to undo # Click any link to leave the edit page Currently, EditWarning will pop up an alert. It should not, because nothing has changed. (Probably you are just keeping a "dirty" bit that indicates whether the edit box has been touched.) The simplest way to do this, in addition to your "dirty" bit, is to store the original wikitext when editing begins, and compare it to the current wikitext when the user tries to leave (window.onbeforeunload). I've been doing this in my own EditWarning-type extension and it works great, even for large pages. This is a small change, but if you suppress these unnecessary warnings, that is definitely good '''usability'''! --[[Special:Contributions/4.79.245.132|4.79.245.132]] 20:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC) ::I think this is an overhead, and there were no big benefit when this function would be implemented.

The supported LaTeX commands should be grouped by their use ("greek symbols", "arrows", "integrals", etc.).

The feature collapses references and long templates into placeholders, which reveal their contents when clicked (my original idea) or onmouseover (Cacycle's implementation). I also suggested tables, although wikEd doesn't do that as yet. The advantages of this approach are several. First, references and templates such as infoboxes/navboxes are unfamiliar in syntax and usually stretch over many lines, sometimes even filling the visible edit box. This is particularly grievous at the beginning of the article, where long infoboxes are common and where most newcomers will first try to edit. By collapsing each of these long elements into a small labelled placeholder, you make the text ''far'' more readable, much closer to the article as read. In effect, this approach distinguishes between simple wiki-markup (links, section headings, italics) and complex wiki-markup (references, templates, tables). The simple markup is a much smaller "perturbation" of the normal article and much easier to learn. You might consider other innovations of wikEd for usability as well, such as its icons, its color coding, its find/replace mechanisms, its automated fixing routines, etc.. It's well-liked by many of Wikipedia's most productive editors. I've listed a few more ideas for wikEd on [[:en:User talk:Cacycle/wikEd]], which you might also consider. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 01:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC) PS. A third warning, please listen: Including "level 1" in the Heading dropdown menu is an invitation to disaster on a massive scale. If this new skin succeeds in recruiting thousands of beginning editors to Wikipedia, as we all hope, they will naturally choose level 1 for their first heading, right? I hope you know that '''level-1 headings are never appropriate on the English Wikipedia''', and I suspect most other languages and Wikimedia projects. Even if you ignore all my other suggestions here and above, please pay attention to this one. :The usability team is listening. Great point about level 1 heading is not appropriate for Wikipedia. How about external MediaWiki users though? We may need to find a way to customize for Wikipedia and MW project wikis. <br />P.S. Will check out content folding of wikiEd. Thanks for the pointer. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] 06:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC) ::Level 1 headings translate to h1 tags, which are normally only used to denote the title of the article.

If it is possible to customize the toolbar, the minority of wikis using L1 tags should be the ones to do that. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 20:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC) ==Line breaks== For complex (multiline) inserts like ''gallery'' or ''table'' implicit line breaks can help to recognize easily what has been inserted with one click. After all manually inserted galeries or tables markup seldom flow inline with other text.

Any editor should have an undo / redo function. There is no acceptable reason not to have this. Thanks == Most block level elements should add a new line == I'll try to explain by example. Suppose I'm writing some text... <pre> Type, type and want to make next text bold '''click''' (Seems OK). And now I'm typing some more text and want to make a list... Go to a new line * OK. And now... click to go to next item?* wrong - same line </pre> Further more if I'm inside a line (not at the end) that has a list character, clicking on the list button should make the list disappear (this is would be similar to how it works office editors). But this could be a little tricky so another button for adding new list item should be added to avoid confusion. <pre> OK. Now I want to insert a table... Well this won't work:{| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! header 1 ! header 2 ! header 3 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |- | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |} </pre> BTW. I have this experimental table adder which you might use (I think I won't be able to finish this soon). It's not much but I guess it's better then just pushing the code straight away to the editing area (there is a simple, light editor that adds/removes new columns and rows and inserts code after finishing). I'm almost sure it worked in all modern browsers + IE 6, but it was quite a long time since I worked on it so I won't give my head on it. Some comments are in Polish so if you have a problem figuring something out just let me know. Anyway the code is here: [http://nux.w.of.pl/download/wiki/wp_ted_0.0.2.zip wp_ted_0.0.2.zip] a general class used for JS-pop messages (not in a new window): [http://nux.w.of.pl/download/wiki/sftJSmsg_0.0.5.zip].

A few thoughts... is it possible to reverse the "internal" and "external" links buttons, as per the standard tools? (While it is only a minor inconvenience remembering the order, I don't see an actual need to swap them - and having the external link button first might just inspire people to ''add'' them!) Thoughts? --[[User:Ckatz|Ckatz]] 02:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC) == Off the rails, and half way down the embankment== while I do like the new additions and modifications to the box, I think you are not on the right track. We use mediawiki at work, and have more than 1000 articles in place. However, I find it very difficult introducing new users (GenY,Z) to authoring articles. They just don't get it. They think the editing is clunky and old fashioned. GenY are really looking for a wysiwyg editor, not a text editor. Text editing is fine for sms, but for nice looking easy to read articles, folks want a slick editor. MS-Word, OpenOffice Writer are good examples. If this initiative is to succeed, it must create a wysiwyg editor. Perhaps an alternative is to provide good bi-directional connectivity to openoffice writer? Folks can then simply '''Edit''' as they do today, but instead of the editbox, the article/section will be sent directly to openoffice? Please take this is the positive manner in which it is offered. --[[User:Paul Kennedy|Paul Kennedy]] 01:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC) 25m483svids07henntpojmvuvfnbkti 0 426 2031 2009-07-14T22:42:06Z Nihiltres 78 Plausible redirect… 2031 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Releases/Acai]] 85viv5awy6l8k6i7cfm76a55wekq8f3 2 427 2032 2009-07-15T00:40:07Z Oscar 366 Created page with '[[m:User:Oscar]]' 2032 wikitext text/x-wiki [[m:User:Oscar]] iujvc1j7x2641mo5nsldg94otimqgl5 6 428 2034 2009-07-15T00:51:54Z Parul Vora~usabilitywiki 185 2034 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 429 2043 2041 2009-07-15T23:03:25Z Parul Vora~usabilitywiki 185 uploaded a new version of &quot;[[File:Button interaction.pdf]]&quot; 2043 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 430 2135 2045 2009-07-28T21:29:27Z Parul Vora~usabilitywiki 185 uploaded a new version of &quot;[[File:ContentGeneration.pdf]]&quot; 2135 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 431 2047 2009-07-16T09:11:13Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2047 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 432 2048 2009-07-16T09:16:51Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2048 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 433 2049 2009-07-16T09:17:05Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2049 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 434 2050 2009-07-16T09:17:18Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2050 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 435 2051 2009-07-16T09:17:32Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2051 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 436 2052 2009-07-16T09:18:10Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 2052 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 2 437 2061 2009-07-17T09:35:21Z Conny 12 new, interwiki de 2061 wikitext text/x-wiki Hello :) .

Interviews were conducted on October 14th and 15th.<br /> __TOC__ The Project Team partnered with [http://boltpeters.com/ Bolt Peters], a local user experience consulting firm, and [http://www.davisresearch.com/ Davis Research], a California based Recruiting firm (who we highly recommend), both of who we worked with in our [[Usability_and_Experience_Study | previous study]] in March. We conducted 8 in-person interviews focusing on the editing experience, process, and its successes and failures, particularly focused on evaluating the changes the Initiative implemented in it's first two releases ([[Releases/Acai|Acai]] and [[Releases/Babaco| Babaco]]). We also explored novice user experiences, use, and interaction with templates, syntax and other complex formatted content. <br /> == Call for Proposals == We reached out to both local and North America based UX + Usability firms with a call for [[Usability,_Experience,_and_Progress_Study/CFP | Proposals]]. == Goals == The primary research goals were to: * Validate the changes implemented by the Usability Initiative; changes made to the editing process that were intended to improve editing experience and reduce interface barriers to participation. Those changes include features bundled into our Acai and Babaco Releases. * Of those changes, specifically look at site-wide navigation and skinning, the new toolbar, the content generation dialogues, and the new table of contents (edit page navigation). * Identify and evaluate patterns of reactions and obstacles that novice users encounter in editing Wikipedia with respect to 'templates' and 'Infoboxes'. * Continue to identify barriers that Wikipedia readers-but-not-contributors encounter in performing basic tasks associated with editing a Wikipedia article (adding personal content, fixing a typo, adding a reference, contributing to a discussion page, navigating and modifying the history). * Continue to discover user experience patterns and issues that have not previously been identified. == Methodology == === Target Audience === The primary goal of this study was to evaluate changes made since the original study. We therefore took a similar approach to recruiting our study participants. In the future, we may even consider bringing back some previous subject. As with the previous study, the target audience of this study was limited to regular Wikipedia readers who are willing to contribute their knowledge to the site, but have expressed reservations about doing so. The team aimed to select a majority (~80%) of users that had not edited but were willing to, and a minority (20%) of users that were novice but not new editors, with fewer than 5 contributions. We preferred potential subjects whose ''primary'' reasons for not contributing seemed to be due to the technical complexity of the interface of MediaWiki and markup, but understand that fear of article deletion, unwillingness to have work edited by others, lack of confidence in 'expertise', not being willing or used to collaborating, and philosophical differences are all also big inhibitors to Wikipedia readers' contribution. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |- !

A banner/alert was placed and displayed at the top of every 1 in 1000 Wikipedia pages for the duration of 96 hours. This led Wikipedia readers to a short welcome message and survey (shown below). Based on our criteria (see above, Target Audience), the 1181 users who responded to our survey were filtered down to 486 viable subjects. Our team partnered with [http://www.davisresearch.com Davis Recruiting] (who we can't say enough good things about). Davis recruiting contacted and phone screened these participants based on further discussion, explanation, and criteria as well as based on their age, gender, occupation and other demographics. Davis Recruiting also screens for talkativeness and openness in discussing thoughts and actions. From Davis we received our 8 study participants with 3 wait-listed/back up candidates. <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-ScreenerII.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Ethnio recruit survey]]</div> <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-InviteII.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Ethnio screener invitation]]</div> <div style="float:left">[[File:Research-Recruitment-ThanksII.png|thumb|400px| Screenshot of Survey Gratitude]]</div> <div style="clear:both"></div> === Lab Testing === This time around, because of our prior experience with remote testing, smaller subject numbers, and desire to conduct future studies (read: funds), we conducted all of our interviews in person. We returned to the [http://www.ffrsf.com/ Fleischman Field Research] facilities, located in San Francisco, California. Participants, limited to those within driving distance, were brought into a room with the Research Interviewer, and a Mac or PC laptop, based on their stated preference. Behind a two way mirror, Wikimedia Usability Researchers could view the interviewer and participant interacting, hear the interview audio, view the participants entire screen and computer interactions, and see their faces and expressions, in real time as the interview was being conducted. These videos (both the screen and the participant) were also captured under a Creative Commons License and can be viewed in the section labeled "Full Interview Videos". === Study Participants === {| class="wikitable" |- !

The script originally aimed to see how users would attempt to and feel about a collection of tasks or objectives that first time and early Wikipedians frequently encounter in their editing process including, but not limited to: finding various modes of editing, adding personal content, looking at discussion pages, creating a new article, finding and using help, navigating an article with templates, and adding a reference, external link, formatting. In this second round study, we focused on the same tasks, but particularly observed the use (or lack of use) of the tools and changes the team has implemented. The changes include, but are not limited to: a "cleaned up" and less cluttered skin, updated search and searchbox location, an entirely new toolbar including updated toolbar buttons, actions, and dialogues, tabbed site-wide navigation, edit box navigation, and integrated help. Click [[UXII Moderator Script|here]] for the full script. == Summary of Results == ====='''No Searching for Search'''===== Despite a fairly drastic relocation of the search box, none of the 8 users stumbled when trying to use it. In fact, one user actually used the box successfully, and then later was taken aback to realize it was in a different place than he was used to. The new position takes advantage of user expectations from across the web, aligning Wikipedia with many other major websites. The improved search algorithm was a marked improvement from our last study where we saw users give up and use Google to navigate to the Wikipedia page they were searching for. ====='''Easier Navigation'''===== <span style="color: gray">''“It was easy, and I wouldn’t have thought it would be that easy.”''</span> <br /> All of the 8 users successfully found the Edit tab with a minimum of hunting when they were asked to begin editing. There were no open questions about page types or page actions, but 3 users "misused" the edit tab from within and edit or preview process. ====='''Decreased Intimidation'''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''“Before there were a lot of tools, and I liked that they were all spread out in front of you, but this actually makes a lot of sense. I had to muddle my way through the older system, but this one seemed fine.” ''“Websites don't have common sense, but programmers do.”'' </span> One notable observation from the previous study in this series was the degree of trepidation users expressed after reaching the editing interface. This time, although they persisted in referring to wikitext as code, they were much more willing to dive in and start editing. We primarily credit the significantly cleaner overall look of the page and the more modern toolbar, which has been tremendously simplified and de-geeked. ====='''Toolbar: Visibility'''===== <span style="color: gray">''“Links are so easy to screw up. I’m not sure if we've correctly typed the link markup. Ah, there are these buttons...”'' <br /> ''“I'm trying to see what the code looks like for these other links. I guess these double brackets will make it search for that. ... Ah, the link button. So I guess this is what I was looking for earlier.”'' </span> While the toolbar provided some much- needed help to users who were lost in “code”, we found that the #1 problem was simply getting users to notice it. 7 of the 8 users were inclined to try to find something in the existing text that seemed close to the end result they wanted, and copy/paste it. It’s likely that the coloring (very pale gray) as well as the positioning (middle of a very busy page) contribute to this stealth toolbar effect, but it’s also possible that users simply don’t understand the “show me” nature of the different tools. Make the tools/toolbar stand out. ''See our prototypes to address this issue [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/sandbox.5/Main_Page here]''. ====='''Toolbar: Links'''===== <span style="color: gray">''“Uh-oh, I think I may have made the wrong kind of link before. I'll go to the preview window to see if this is a link. It would have been nice to just edit it in the preview.”''<br /> </span> Of the dialog boxes that have been implemented, the one that most consistently resulted in errors or confusion was the link insertion dialog; in fact, 6 of 8 users initially made some error in using it. The most common error was failure to notice the two top tabs for internal and external links. Not having seen these, users quite happily worked toward creating their link without any worries about the nature of the link. This behavior demonstrates that the distinction is a purely technical one. Unify wiki/external link tabs in the link dialog box. Since the single button on the toolbar indicates one tool, and most users did not differentiate the type of link they were making, and missed the tabs altogether, eliminate the two tabs in the link dialog. ''See our current prototypes addressing this issue [http://usability.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wireframe-Babaco-Dialogs.pdf&page=1 here]''. ====='''Toolbar: Tables'''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''“Table, I’m not sure what that is. I'm going to save it and then see, because this preview is too confusing.”'' ''“This is basically the programming for the table. I don't see where to add the information. ... It came out wrong, not what I was expecting, but what I do see is a table with historical figures, so I'll go into the editor and look at that. ... If I hadn't looked at the other table, I wouldn't have known how to do this." '' ''“Okay, I just got a bunch of code instead of a table.”'' </span> The insertion of tables proved to be one of the most problematic tasks, tripping up 4 of 8 users, even after they discovered and began to use the toolbar. The dialog box seemed straightforward enough, but once the wikitext was inserted, confusion set in. Users were not sure which part of the text to actually edit, with some interpreting the “sample text” (Row 1, cell 1) as labels, and attempting to insert table contents between the markup dividers. Confusion was exacerbated when users flipped to the article view (either in preview mode or by publishing), and couldn’t find anything resembling the table they were expecting. Bar none, they were looking for a table with grid lines and a background color. ====='''Toolbar: Etc'''===== The icons for “Bold” and “Italic” font break the web- and application-standard convention of using the letters B and I, resulting in widespread disorientation among users. Even those who correctly guessed their purpose were not confident they had guessed correctly, and had to hover or click to confirm their assumption. The term “Advanced” is a misnomer, implying that the functionality contained within will be primarily of interest to advanced users. In reality, the tools extracted to this area of the toolbar are simply less commonly used. The term “advanced” in this context can be a barrier to exploration, preventing some novices from ever discovering the tools tucked away there. The “Embedded File” tool proved to be one of the least easily understood tools of this study. Users generally avoided it, finding that even the sample text, when inserted, provided no additional insight. ====='''Navigable Table of Contents'''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''“This is different, it's got these hot-links [the table of contents]. That's nice."'' ''“On the right, this would take me to the live article.”'' </span> Less than half of our users recognized the table of contents for what it is, with most users not seeming to notice it at all. Those who did notice it tended to think it would bring them to that section of the live article. When a heading is clicked in the table of contents, the article text is not correctly aligned within the editing window, sometimes being off by as much as several paragraphs. ''See our current mockups addressing these issues [http://usability.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wireframe-Babaco-WikiEditor.pdf&page=1 here]''. ====='''Templates'''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''“I’m completely intimidated by that.”'' ''“It took me a minute to figure it out, but now I know that it’s all laid out in computer editing lingo, so that it creates a box.”'' ''“That’s a whole lot of html that makes my eyes dance all over the screen."'' </span> While the changes made as part of Babaco have significantly reduced the intimidation factor of editing ordinary pages, this finding did not hold when users encountered the more complicated template code. Users were confident using scrolling and the right-hand links to find the item they wanted to change in a single-column page, but introducing a second column flummoxed them. Their behavior returned to the uncertainty and unwillingness to make changes that we have seen in earlier releases. Some participants were also uncertain about the language—terms like “transcluded” are new to most users and add to the intimidation factor. Make it clearer that users are in a template that requires “advanced” or “special” markup. ====='''Previewing'''===== <span style="color: gray"> ''“I'd want to go back to the read page and look at it without all the code, to figure out where I want to put my part.”''<br /> ''“I was expecting it to be more like a Word doc.”''<br /> ''“I might go to word, and make the paragraph there first. It's easier to spellcheck and look at it without all the links and stuff.”''<br /> </span> Only 2 of our 8 users realized that in preview mode, the editing window was still on the page, just pushed to the bottom, and 1 of them didn’t realize it for quite a long time. ====='''Saving'''===== <span style="color: gray">''“Save puts it in some place on the wiki server where I can get in and edit it, but it’s not published.”''</span> We’ve all had it drilled into us - “Save your work!” All 8 of our 8 users displayed a desire to somehow do this before proceeding to a different page of any sort, and most assumed that “Save Page” was the correct way to do this - often even performing this as a preliminary step before previewing their changes. == Study I and Study II== The study confirmed for us that our changes are progressing in the right direction - towards greater ease of use for novice users. The majority of such users we interviewed in this study showed less intimidation, completed tasks faster and with greater ease (and sometimes even with pleasure!), and employed the tools and features we have implemented without instruction and with success. The users did, however, illustrate many imperfections with those tools (i.e. the separation between internal and external links in the link dialog box) along with a bug or two ;). But it should please us and you to know that we are convinced these tools are worth modifying and updating - we will continue to tweak and develop the new toolbar, the dialogs that accompany them, in-situ help, the Vector skin, navigation across the site and from and edit page, Search, and on. That being said, our study illustrated how much work is still left to be done. Our script focused on tasks that allowed us to focus on a user's ability to find and employ the tools we have deployed (in the interests of evaluating our work), but our interviews brought to the surface the myriad issues that continue to create barriers for new users. We again saw users struggle to get their questions answered (at least the ones that couldn't be solved with our toolbar cheat sheet), suffer from never ending link options (we call them "rabbit holes"), adopt makeshift preview and save processes, become overwhelmed with textual instructions, messages, and warning, and within the course of a one hour study - having their first edits reverting without dialogue or explanation. Though we cannot address all of these issues within the time, resources, and scope of our project and grant, we hope the issues brought to the surface will be addresses with future work, other Foundation projects, new grants, and community members and volunteers. The solicited feedback and interviews, and your unsolicited feedback on this page and project wiki continue to help us do what we do better. == Full Interview Videos == [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user1_compressed.mov User 1]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user2_v2.mp4 User 2]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user3_v1.mp4 User 3]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user4_compressed.mov User 4]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user5_v1.mp4 User 5]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user6_v1.mp4 User 6]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user7_compressed.mov User 7]<br /> [http://bpluv.com/wikipedia/wiki_er2_user8_compressed.mov User 8]<br /> [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Uxii_search.ogv User 2 Search Clip]<br/> <div style="float:left">[[File:Cheryle_props.ogv | thumb | left | 400px | Our eventual goal for all Wikipedia Users]]</div><br/> <div style="clear:both"></div> == Accounts == Please note that we created user accounts to isolate the work or changes made by a test subject.

We are looking to conduct a Usability/User Experience Study in San Francisco, CA in late September and are looking for help! Deadline for Submission: August 20th, 2009. ==Who we are== We are the Wikipedia Usability Initiative. Our work is supported by a grant from the U.S.-based Stanton Foundation. This grant has enabled our one year pilot project to measurably increase the usability of Wikipedia for new contributors by improving the underlying software on the basis of user studies, thereby reducing barriers to public participation. We believe that by lowering the technical barriers to participation subject-matter experts are more likely to add their knowledge to new and existing articles, resulting in a higher quality encyclopedia. With an initial focus on English Wikipedia, eventually this research and development will be implemented across all languages and possibly to other WikiMedia projects. [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], for those of you that don't know, is a web-based encyclopedia containing more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. The English language Wikipedia is the most comprehensive edition and contains more than 2.6 million articles. According to comScore, 274 million people visited Wikipedia in September 2008, making it the 4th most popular website world-wide. According to the Wikimedia Foundation's own statistics, more than 10 billion Wikipedia pages are viewed every month. The Usability Team is a special project of the Wikimedia Foundation. The [http://www.wikimediafoundation.org Wikimedia Foundation] is an audited, 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization based in San Francisco, California. It is dedicated to making free knowledge available to everyone on the planet by empowering a global network of volunteers to collaboratively develop educational resources. ==Our research== As outlined in our grant proposal, our research is focused on reducing the barriers for contribution to English Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. We conducted an initial exploratory [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_and_Experience_Study Usability Study] in March, 2009 with [http://boltpeters.com/ Bolt Peters]. As we are working on solving problems discovered we are looking to both validate our improvements and inform our future design and development. In the first phase of this project encompassing two [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Releases releases], we have been designing and developing changes to the user interface that help authors perform basic editing tasks including, but not limited to, a new skin, an enhanced toolbar, content wizards and dialogs, and new editing tools to help in navigating content and help materials. In the upcoming phase of our project, we will be focusing on the core components of the editing process - particularly complex formatting in wiki syntax and the use of templates. Our goals are to both "hide" this complex formatting language to provide easier access to the article body content, and also to provide users with an editing interface to these complicated structures. ==What we're looking for (or How you can help)== We are looking for UX and Usability firms, researchers, and enthusiasts to help us to evaluate the changes we have made to the existing softward and inform our future work on complex content and templates. Generally we are looking to: * recruit appropriate target groups that serve both of our interests * have 10-20 participants, at least half of which we will be able to interview in person in San Francisco, CA. the other half of which are *not* located in San Francisco - preferably globally. * conduct in-person and remote interviews of tasks and open ended questions with video and audio of the participant, moderator, and computer screen. * analyze and synthesize all of the information from the interviews into actionable recommendations, user profiles, age and gender trends, etc. * share video highlights and the full interview audio + video with our community online. ==Getting in touch== If you or your company is available to help, please email us at [mailto:usability-study@wikimedia.org usability-study@wikimedia.org]. Let us know how you can help or with a proposal and we will get back to you. Thanks!

Human-centered products emphasize user experience over factors like technology, features, or marketing points. "User experience" encompasses all aspects of the end-user's interaction with your company, your services, and your products. Human-centered products meet the exact needs of your customer, without fuss or bother. They are simple and elegant, a joy to own, a joy to use. Your products reflect your overall company strategy and culture. In corporate cultures that emphasize technology, features, marketing points, or your company organization (in the case of websites), user experience is not given priority, and human-centered products will not result. Are your help lines too expensive? The fact that customers need so much help is a sign of poor products. Want a better product? You probably have to reorganize your company and change your product process. Customer-centered, human-centered design requires corporate commitment, and a seamless merging of the services of multiple disciplines, including engineering, marketing, graphical and industrial design, and interface design. The results are faster design cycles, customers who are more satisfied and more loyal, and the transition of help lines and service desks from complaint posts and cost centers into positive customer experiences: a chance to interact and renew customer commitment, a chance to increase sales and loyalty. <!--info: info@nngroup.com --> <!--contact: --> ===UE Research === '''Website''': http://www.ueresearch.com/index.php<br /> '''Location''': San Jose, CA <br /> '''About''': What makes UEresearch stand out?

Isn't (or shouldn't) it actually for ''Wikimedia'' as a whole? ;-) --- Best regards, [[User:Melancholie|Melancholie]] 22:22, 21 January 2009 (UTC) :Keep in mind that this is a [[w:Grant (money)|grant]], so we can't decide on how to spend the money... it needs to be spent within the terms of the grant or we don't get it. Based on that, one would assume the primary focus is on Wikipedia. However, what is realized could probably be applied to other projects (or even tested on them too, who knows? <tt>;-)</tt>).

Of course, the terms of the grant have to be respected. However, when Wikipedia's usability is being improved, some issues have to be elaborated further. What part of the scope is on the underlying Wikimedia software? If the scope expands beyond the software of Wikipedia, does it also go into the parts of the content contributed by the regular editors? Usability is also about stuff like the content and layout of the homepage, category names and structure, other navigational elements and concepts, integrated help, graphical elements, etc. Some or all of those are usually open for contributions from volunteers. If the results of the project and the drive of the community in these particular areas are contradictory, how are these settled? Not that there are no ways to handle any particular case, but I think there should be some extra effort to establish and articulate the project's framework to the community. On this page, for example. [[User:Yuzz|Yuzz]] 03:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC) :::Agreed. I think they have to clear the project scope first (or actually create one - this is a torso). We will be hardly forking a new version of MediaWiki specially for Wikipedia... So I guess the work done on MediaWiki in scope of this project must be mirrored in other projects.

In Spanish "editar" is a very formal verb. Perhaps "modificar" would be better. # Add a link in the top or bottom of articles with this text "Submit an error or suggestion" targeting to "/w/index.php?title=Talk:blabla&action=edit&section=new". It would be a good way to improve the feedback with sporadic readers. People don't know that clicking in "Talk" tab they can suggest changes in content. # Add a request link in all categories, to include new articles. A new way to request articles. Regards.

So, whether or not it is shown depends on CSS and skin, I believe. --[[User:Purodha|Purodha Blissenbach]] 14:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC) === Another shopping list:Talk, Discuss, History === Issues I find unhelpful on editing and commenting.<br /> *When editing, you are requested to: (1) make a note of the reason, (2) declare it as Minor (or not) and (3) sign with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. It is easy to overlook/forget any or all of these.<br /> *When reading a Discuss/Talk page, there are frequently discussions several years old, relating to the content of the page at that time which are no longer relevant.<br /> *When you are finished ''editing'', press the left hand "Page" button, you are returned to the definitive page. But, when you are finished ''discussing'', and press the same button, you are returned to the Discuss page not the actual Wikipedia page. (This is because technically the Discuss/Talk page is a page in its own right)<br /> *When you are finished editing, look at the modified page, and decide it needs editing further, this becomes two (or more) entries on the History.<br /> *When you look at the list of changes under "History", frequently the "First 50" only shows a few days of changes, because there are large numbers of tiny edits. You have no way to see when the major changes were made. Here are some simple (I hope) suggestions followed by more radical ideas. #The Wiki software to count keystrokes processed in the edit, and use this to determine automatically whether the edit is "minor". For example, 200 keystrokes may edit or add a sentence or two, a larger number would be a paragraph and a small number might be a spelling correction. #The Wiki software to insert the user's ID name (or IP address?) plus date, at the foot of the edit box, (with the user having the option to edit if they really want). #When you have chosen "Edit this page", the edit box should show the text of the page, not including the data on categories, templates, and all the other garbage that gets in the way. This should be in a separate edit box clearly marked, or if it has to be kept together then show the 'meta' information in a contrasting colour (cyan?) #Where a user has edited the article several times in a short time, these to be displayed on "History" as a single edit by that user. I would propose "short time" is defined as any series of edits, by the same user/IP address, where the interval between edits is less than 2 hours and no other user has edited in between. ''Note: in entering this section, I have edited the page 5-6 times. Clearly it was functionally one edit and there is no benefit in archiving the intermediate stages.'' #Talk/Discuss pages to have a different appearance from regular pages, aimed at the different way they are intended to be used, and a direct and obvious link back to the discussed article. More radically, the History and the Talk/Discuss need a major overhaul, preferably by bringing the two concepts closer together, so that the interested onlooker can see what changes were made and for what reason: without being swamped by data on minor spelling or punctuation edits, and without being swamped by discussion on changes people would wish to see, would disagree with, were made years ago, etc. [[User:Sussexonian|Sussexonian]] 13:00, 5 September 2009 (UTC) === MediaWiki usability wishlist === I guess the word "Wikipedia" in the project description is a mistake.

Same thing for Templates and Tables. === Several suggestions === '''i18n an L10n: # Interface messages: There are plenty of words, expression, phrases, that could be translated this way or another for a given language (e.g. ''user, contributor, reader,'' <code>{<nowiki />{NS:2}}</code>, …). There are references being made from one message to another (''select parameters and klick <button text>'' where ''button text'' is as well contained in a message on its own).<br />We could have a sort of precompilation step that allows to include such stuff by reference, thus making it much easier to adopt to varying names, depending on Wiki, or adopt changes made in one place everywhere. This will, imho significantly increase the quality of localizations and thus the usability and understandability of interface messages. # There are plenty of places where wikicode, html entities, or language tagging (<code>&lt;span lang="zxx" xml:lang="zxx">…&lt;/span></code>) of — normally untranslated ubiquitous english computerese words or expressions — would be required in interface messages, but are prohibited in a localizations because these items are rendered verbatim. This needs to be generally modified so as to render flawless (x)html, and to make life easief to localizers, and to allow page contents be correctly referenced in search engines. This increases Wikipedias usability both direct, and indirectly. # Allow interface messages, and help pages, to branch depending on both skin, and current rtl/ltr mode of the actual page, so as to allow better targetted messages of the kind ''<code>Follow language links at left/right/upper/lower edge of the current browser window.</code>'' etc. # add a "sticky" equivalent of uselang= to the command line to as to allow logged out users and link setters to confine readers or themselves to a language of their choice while following links inside the wiki and following interwiki links until they actively change the language. # See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17246 '''Help # Help pages very often do not really reflect reality, and with the exception of the 5 major languages, are not at all, partially, or poorly translated. Settings of the wiki are hardly ever taken into account, worst visibly in the realm of user rights, or when extensions are being used that exend the wikis capabilities, but never bring the appropriate help pages with themselves.<br />I suggest to have a general system of extensible help pages that (e.g. with the assistance of parserfunktions or some similar techiques) fully automatically adopt to wiki settings (usually in Localsettings.php) including extensions. There also should be a set of hooks to automatcally include, or link to, local policies (e.g. users having the right to delete pages see basic help on page deletions, plus (linked or inserted) what the local policies of page deletions are; while users not permitted to delete pages read about the policies and what to do in order to make others, (admins) delete a page for them, but do not (normally) read of the things they cannot do anyways). '''Editing # Consider using a "gloabl edit button". # The "edit" page is crowded and cluttered with overwhelming amounts of superfluous unused information. While it is of course necessary to inform users of their rights and so on, there is no need to bang them on their heads each time a page is edited, by the way forcing them into time consuming scolling before every edit. They can be reminded every now and then, or if terms were changed, but they should be left alone otherwise, at least upon request. Custom CSS is fine, but requires advanced skills that most haven't. # Add an "inspect wikicode" tab. Of course that is the same as "edit"+don't save, but many do not understand that, and fear to use "edit" in order not to accidentally screw something up. # Skin cologne blue with "floating" sidebar has an overlap of the editing field with the side bar which should better be avoided. # Enhancing and simplifying things during editing: ## Wiki syntax highlighting or color coding might be helpful in the edit window (unfortunately there is no way to do that with browser standard without pressing a "syntax highlight" button. ## Wiki syntax hiding, i.e. collapsing lengthy items like tables, might be an option, too. Again it's hardly possible with standard browser means. ;-( # linking wiki code is a mess: ## Drop the quasi-but-only-partial-and-then-not-always syntactical identity of true (clickable) internal links, media transclusions, interlanguage links, interproject links, and foreign interwiki-links. They've been a design flaw from their very beginning, and drive unexperienced editors nuts. "Accidental" interwiki/interlanguage links are among the most persistent editor errors. Even MediWikis own coders cannot avoid them, and may be unable to correct them ([[:Bugzilla:11344|bug 11344]]) ## For skins distinguishing internal and external links, make that distinction based on reality rather than syntax. Having to use a <code>fullurl</code> occasinally for links to the own wiki is bad enough, but it should not appear as an external link. Allow copy&paste URLs of, e.g. "edit-diff" pages in wikitext without having to resort to "<code>span class=plainlinks</code>", etc. ## Some interlanguage links, many interproject links, and some internal links are currently not portable between wmf projects, and even less so to other wiki outside the wmfs realm. While this may not be always possible with the outside world, increase the portability, and make it 100% between wmf wikis. Allow, e.g. user pages of one user, linking to all his or her user pages elsewhere, to be copied 1:1 between all wikis of the wmf, without invalidating a single link in them, even if none of them is using an external link syntax. ## Allow the "pipe followed by empty" syntax to strip leading "#"s (at least), such as in <code>[<nowiki />[#Section 2|]]</code> → <code>[<nowiki />[#Section 2|Section 2]]</code>. (see [[:Bugzilla:17675|bug 17675]]) # Solve bugs [[:bugzilla:15345|15345]] and [[:bugzilla:14880|14880]] and add the category picker gadget that [[:Commons]] has to Wikipedia. '''Searching # Add a 2nd type of search field that can be used in the side bar, having two sets of radiobuttons, or a set of radiobuttons + a checkbox, allowing to select an (even numbered) namespace, plus object/talk, and do the Ajax autocompletion accordingly. Allow installations to select either or both search groups. # at the end of the list shown by the Ajax search feature, add a selection to advance a page alphabetically - thus in the end leaving it to users to page to the very end of all available page titles. # make the size of the Ajax search list selectable in the user preferences (both width, and line count) with reasonable upper, and lower, limits. # Allow multipe redirects (with some upper limit on chain lenghts installable via LocalSettings.php) and show the chain of redirects when the target page is displayed. '''Page Rendering # add an outdent (without bullet, that is) inside nested lists. This would allow to continue on a previous indentation level after a sublist or indentation, which currently works only on the zero-th level of indentation. # add a javaskript allowing to select an arbitray word, or group of words, and have them automatically searched for in the wiki — or alternatively — make every word that is not a link already, and that can be found in the remaining pages of the wiki (as to be searched by default according to the users preference) an unmarked type of link to the appropriate search, maybe with a mouseover or title showing the (approximate) number of hits.

We will be conducting a more in depth evaluation of the beta with in-person interviews in our San Francisco offices this October, but since this will be limited to a very small number of recruited users, we are using the survey to get a much broader range of feedback from users and Wikipedians. As of right now, Vector is not the default skin, but it is something that is being discussed internallly and in the community already - for more, please see the discussion [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#Make_Vector_Default_Skin here]. --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 22:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC) == An "Other" category for comments? == Because there are always opinions on issues/features which developers never expect... I gave this new skin a try, & my primary comment is that I don't like the font. (No, you can't convince me sans serif is better than serif, so we can forget about that discussion.) Is there any plans to allow users to specify their own preferences for fonts in this skin? This is one of my major reasons for staying with the Classic skin -- which occasionally betrays the symptoms of not being ignored, if not unsupported. -- [[User:Llywrch|Llywrch]] 19:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC) :This could easily be done with a gadget - just one line of CSS. Has anyone made such a gadget? If that's not the case I really don't think there should be an option, since obviously not enough people care about it. E.g. on en-wp there are two font gadgets: one that makes text fields use sans-serif and not monospace, and another one that uses DejaVu Sans since it has many characters that perhaps don't exist in the default fonts. So I don't think this option is necessary - you can easily change your vector.css.

[[User:Iluvalar|Iluvalar]] 02:50, 20 August 2010 (UTC) ==How can we get rid of the new surface?== Hi I am one of the bureaucrats at sw:wikipedia. One of these days a new surface appeared and I guess that comes from this project. I am personnally not too fond of it but found out that I can choose a surface similar to the old one (although not the same!). Now I discover a problem that the tutorials we have all refer to the "old buttons". But new users start automatically in the changed surface. I do not think it was ok to push these changes on everybody and also on us without consultation. For us it means that we have to rework all tutorials and check where we have to make changes in explanations. As many of our Swahili users are not too computer savy it is a problem when tutorial says "search window on the left" and now it is different. ETc. We have too few active people and too much work to start unnecessary jobs because of well meant but for our situation not thought-through actions which are being forced on us. So who is the one who switch that feature off for our wikipedia?

They are WRONG: 45% fox3 + 45% fox35 = 90% FOX TOTAL. ==Feedback== ====Questions on Test Procedure==== The 5th instruction, under the "Navigable Table of Contents" section of the Babaco test procedure states: "Verify that moving the cursor from one section to another causes the various sections to be highlighted in the table of contents". Based on my understanding of the Babaco test procedure, this step, refers to verify the moving cursor on the edit page tab of the article. Unlike the pictures in the Babaco test procedure, there is no table of contents pane. Instead, upon pressing the "Show Preview" button, the Table of Contents appear in the previewed text (displayed above the edit box). This seems to be a change from the table of contents pane. Is it expected that moving the cursor in the edit box will highlight the corresponding section in the Preview window? It is not clear to me what is expected given the current configuration (For example [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=submit] ). Please clarify.

Then, if repeated click A+/A- it generates a text with double "big" tag. Now it generates two texts with a simple tag. 6) When click A+/A- with selected text it should detect if there's null combinations like "<code>&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;Text&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;</code>", in order to delete to generate the equivalente "<code>Texto</code>". 7) When inserting embedd files it should open a dialog with details of the image (size, thum, comments). 8) Search and replace don't work for me.

All of the features listed in the testing procedure worked as expected. A few points, though, not entirely related to the testing procedure: *Sometimes, after scrolling the edit box using the mouse wheel, clicking the edit box caused the text cursor to jump to the end of the article. Not entirely sure how to reproduce it. *I couldn't highlight the text using the cursor. Not sure if this is intentional behaviour for the testing environment, but I figure I'd note it down. *On opening the "Insert link" dialog box, I found that the entry boxes each contained a single space. When adding an external link, for example, the link would be inserted as "http://%20en.wikipedia.org", and not "http://en.wikipedia.org". Still, the test procedure worked, so that's okay.

On Feb 21, using '''SeaMonkey 2.0.3''', it introduced many line breaks using "beta" on Secure Wikipedia. On [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/usability/w/index.php?title=Talk:Releases/Babaco&action=edit this page] it did a bunch of word fusions that I left for you to see.

Still using SeaMonkey 2.0.3, I selected your message and dragged and dropped it, in the edit window. Many line breaks appeared, when it was dropped. It does the same thing if I cut and paste it within the edit window. In this case it is breaking lines so they end before the edge of the edit window, thus I can see the line breaks in the edit window.

[[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 00:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC) ::The second problem I'm having with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 today, is that when I copy and paste into Notepad, it adds an extra line break to every line that had at least one line break. Where there were two line breaks, it adds one more. Where there was one line break, it adds another.

This behaviour is incorrect; if the wiki page exists, the dialog shouldn't switch to external link mode automatically. Mightn't it be a smarter behaviour in this case to simply indicate that the user ''might want'' an external link, instead of switching directly? Just an edge case, but I figure it might be worth accounting for, because in that case, the dialog behaviour is confusing.

It is intended for pages which are [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] in other pages, i.e. templates, whether in the template namespace or not. == Usage == === Normal /doc === &lt;noinclude&gt;&#123;&#123;{{{template-name|Documentation}}}&#125;&#125;&lt;/noinclude&gt; === Any /doc page === &lt;noinclude&gt;&#123;&#123;{{{template-name|Documentation}}}|Template:any page/doc&#125;&#125;&lt;/noinclude&gt; === In-line content === &lt;noinclude&gt;&#123;&#123;{{{template-name|Documentation}}}|content=This is documentation.&#125;&#125;&lt;/noinclude&gt; === In-line content with [view][edit] links === &lt;noinclude&gt;&#123;&#123;{{{template-name|Documentation}}} |1 = Template:any page/doc |content =&#123;&#123;Template:any page/doc|parameters}} }}&lt;/noinclude> === Best practice === This code should be added at the bottom of the template code, with no extra space before "<code>&lt;noinclude></code>" (which would cause extra space on pages where the template is used). The parameter can be used as shown above to transclude an arbitrary documentation page. Categories and interwiki links that apply to the template itself should be added to the documentation page, inside <code>&lt;includeonly> &lt;/includeonly></code> tags. If the documentation page contains includeonly or noinclude tags as part of the documentation, replace the "<" with "&amp;lt;". === Customizing display === Overrides exist to customize the output in special cases: * <code>{&#123;documentation| '''heading''' = ...}}</code> − change the text of the "documentation" heading. If this is set to blank, the entire heading line (including the first [edit] link) will also disappear. == Functions == If the documentation page doesn't exist, the "edit" link includes a [[mw:Manual:Creating pages with preloaded text|preload]] parameter so that clicking it will pre-fill the edit form with the basic documentation page format. == Rationale == Use of this template allows templates to be [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protected]] where necessary, while allowing anyone to edit the documentation, categories, and interwiki links. <includeonly> [[Category:Template documentation| ]] </includeonly> nkdiigt9uqa3pfo4ysrwplcj3cj8nig 10 583 3181 2009-09-20T20:44:11Z ChyranandChloe 407 created page 3181 wikitext text/x-wiki === Usage === === See also === <include<includeonly></includeonly>only> <!-- CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS HERE, THANKS --> </include<includeonly></includeonly>only> a1dfnyjsswvfz53zthhhl08479edvoc 10 584 8654 3182 2010-07-29T13:31:22Z Nemo bis 9 cat 8654 wikitext text/x-wiki <span class="noprint plainlinks purgelink">[{{fullurl:{{{page|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|action=purge}} <span title="Purge this page">{{{1|Purge}}}</span>]</span><noinclude> [[Category:Templates]]</noinclude> pq0ilea5fdsiu460rlz69c640ajv0de 10 585 3184 2009-09-20T20:53:57Z ChyranandChloe 407 created page 3184 wikitext text/x-wiki |<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude> 2ofv2tfg465cdzm0n3gl7w1r0r77s1o 10 586 3185 2009-09-20T20:54:06Z ChyranandChloe 407 created docs 3185 wikitext text/x-wiki === Usage === This is the <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> meta-template. This is an auxiliary template allowing the encoding of "<code>|</code>" within template parameters. It is necessary if the character is used in wiki table syntax, or if the parameter is automatically wikilinked and you wish to use a pipe to specify different link text from the target page name. In other cases it is better to use "<code>&amp;#124;</code>". This template cannot be used for putting the character as text in a wiki table; in that case, again, "<code>&amp;#124;</code>" can be used. Note that no special template is needed for "<code>!</code>" (exclamation mark). This is a '''high risk template''', and it usually cannot be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]] (see conditions for substing on [[#Substitution|the section below]]). === Substitution === The template page states that <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> cannot be substituted. That's not completely true because it is perfectly okay to [[Wikipedia:Substitution|substitute]] <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> as soon as an unescaped "'''<tt>|</tt>'''" works as expected, i.e. after substituting the template containing <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>, or after eliminating an [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23if:|#if:]] containing <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>. <includeonly> <!-- CATEGORIES

Why don't you investigate in three or four main sections (like for example in this [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/San_Jose_Skinentwurf_Artikel.png mock up] that considered the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sitemap site map of the German Wikipedia])? In the German Wikipedia a site map with three main sites for a much easier navigation already exists. The problem is that until know the structure cannot bee seen in the sidebar.<br /> Furthermore it is essential that links with the same "task" are arranged for Wikipedia user groups (readers, editors, admins,...). For example "Printable version", "Permanent link", "Cite this page", "Create book" should be put together to a certain area for readers. <br /> Moreover certain areas should have clear objectives. For example: sidebar -> navigation on Wikipedia-site (articles, portals, about Wikipedia, help,...); area above article -> editing and further details on current article. <br /> I hope that it will be more investigated in clear structures on Wikipedia. In my point of view it's essential that there are as little links as possible for navigation and editing. The challenge to fulfill this task is a very smart creation of groups that guide Wikipedia users to the site or function that they are looking for. --[[Special:Contributions/86.32.14.79|86.32.14.79]] 11:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC) Thanks so much for your feedback.

But I'm forced to agree with [[#Missing_smart_ideas_for_new_skin|the writer above]] that the changes from the present monobook skin are mainly cosmetic. That would fine if cosmetics were the main factor preventing usability. However, my impression is that this skin will not enhance the usability dramatically. Such incremental improvements are disappointing given the number of people working on this project. I agree with the goal of eliminating clutter and restricting the buttons to the minimum needed for the beginner. Speaking as someone who's edited Wikipedia for years, including Featured Articles, I've never used most of the buttons in the lefthand column of Wikipedia. However, the buttons I choose to ignore &ndash; such as "Recent changes" and "Random page" &ndash; may well be essential for other users. Have you taken statistics on how often these buttons are clicked by recently registered users? I recommend that you make the portlets in the left-hand column customizable, so that each user can decide what functionality to include in them. Newcomers might be given a small standard set of, say, 7 buttons, e.g., "Help", "Main Page", "About Wikipedia", "Community portal", "Upload file", "PDF version", and eventually the "Create a book" portlet. The same is true for the 23 buttons at the top of the editing box. Have you taken statistics to see how often they're used? My impression is that most editors don't use them. The XEB extension allows you to customize these buttons and to add forms for the more complicated tasks, such as inline citations; see, e.g., [[:en:User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js]]. Again, I encourage you to make it easier to customize these buttons, and to give newcomers the bare minimum, e.g., "New section", "New subsection", "Add wikilink", "Add external link" , "Add file", "Add inline reference" and possible "Re-use existing reference". A form that connects [http://toolserver.org/~diberri/cgi-bin/templatefiller/ Diberri's tool] with the inline citation creator would be excellent. You might consider collapsing the interwiki links into a drop-down menu, and also offering the ability to translate them into English on the English Wikipedia, and likewise on the others. I wrote a [[:en:User:Proteins/translateinterwikicodes.js|rudimentary script]] to do the latter task, which you're welcome to borrow from. Finally, is this the best venue for offering suggestions? Do you even want outside opinions? [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 14:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC) == My mockup, want to provide some ideas == [[File:Wikipedia Usability Mockup.png|thumb|Article Wikipedia]] [[File:Wikipedia Usability Mockup History.png|thumb|History of article Wikipedia]] [[File:Wikipedia Usability Mockup Discussion.png|thumb|Eliminating clutter on talk page, compare with [[:en:Talk:Wikipedia|current Wikipedia talk page]]]] So, after reading through the other posts, I want to give some ideas to improve the usability on Wikipedia. I created some mock-ups that are based on screen shost of the new vector skin. The main focus was on the arranging of the links and toolbars and not the layout (there could be some further improvements by a specialist). The main changes are: * In the navigation bar on the left, the links were reduced and only the main sections of Wikipedia remain there. When you click on one of the main sections, you can see additional links. For example when you click on browse: **> [[:en:Wikipedia:Browse|Browse (or even Contents)]] *** [[:en:Wikipedia:Portals|Portals]] *** Random Article *** [[:en:Wikipedia:Featured Content|Featured Content]] *** .... **> Community Portal This will make the structure of Wikipedia more clearly and will also show new users the full range of possibilities on Wikipedia. * Another perhaps good feature would be an individual toolbox ("My toolbox") in the lefthand sidebar. Some links like "Upload file", "Recent Changes" are in the default settings but everything can be customized by the user. It would be nice if there would be an easy way to edit them and also the possibility to add also external links (toolserver, etc.). An option to choose default links for readers and another one for writers or admins would be great. * The area above the article gives additional information of the related article itself and show further actions (Read, Edit, History). To show that there are two different sites (article and discussion) on each page there are two tabs to switch between them. Furthermore some useful functions like print or cite are grouped together (perhaps "create pdf" could be added there). * Nearly no one of my friends (all of them use Wikipedia) don't know that each site can be in different categories. It's quite useful to browse within categories because you can easily find related articles. Therefore I put them also on the top of the article. * In my opinion adding the other languages to the top of the article completes this section quiet good. *As I know there are some functions or icons (sighted version, geographical coordinates, excellent articles,...) that also needs an area above the article. I'm not sure which one of them should be hiden in the area that is usually invisible and can be displayed when you click on the big "more arrow". But I think a good arrangement can be found to make everybody happy. I hope that my ideas can help you a bit and I would be very glad when some of them will be implemented. --[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 14:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC) :Excellent work! I really like the second line under the "Article" and "Discussion" tabs, where you list "read", "edit",..., "Other languages". The Category listing may not be clear to newcomers, however. Perhaps preface them with a boldface heading '''Categories'''? That could be a drop-down menu as well. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 12:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC) :A few other minor suggestions. I'd put the Search box just below the logo in the lefthand column, followed by the links "Help", "Browse", etc. I'd move the Signpost from the Toolbox to underneath Community Portal. Speaking for myself, I'd also eliminate "Special pages" and "Recent changes" as default buttons, since I believe they're not that important for newcomers, especially on a wiki the size of the English Wikipedia. Perhaps each Wiki can choose its own set of default newcomer buttons? [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 12:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC) :BTW, the Talk and History pages are great, too. I like what you did with the header templates on the Talk page. The "More" element on the article and history pages confused me, however; what does it do? [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 12:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC) [[File:Wikipedia Usability-Mockup-2.png|thumb|Article Wikipedia with some minor changes regarding to first mock-up above]] ::Thank you for your comments. I agree with you that the category listing could be a bit unclear but I didn't want to put a heading there. The thing is that in my opinion the category names are more useful than a heading with a pull down menu. However, my idea was to point out some possibilities in arranging things and not to provide a "final draft". As you have already mentioned, just a few links are used regularly by newcomers and perhaps also by people who edited Wikipedia for years. So it has to be found out what links are important and put those links to the correct places. All other links could be hidden in drop-down menus like the "big more-arrow" in the second line under the "Article" and "Discussion" tabs. ::After I created the mockups I was asking myself if the links in the the "new second navigation line" shouldn't be arranged on other pages. For example, when we look at the [[:File:Wikipedia_Usability_Mockup_Discussion.png|discussion page]] we can see the "To do list for Wikipedia, Wikiprojects,..." in the extended area of the second line. Perhaps those links are more useful in the extendable "More-area" of the article page and should be put there. Also the page statistics from the "History" page could be put in the mentioned box of the article page. Furthermore it would be possible to put in there links to related help pages. Besides this we have to think about the placement of the icons of sighted versions, excellent articles, geographical coordinates, protected pages and so on. The area above the article pages shouldn't be overloaded as well. As you can see the "more-boxes" open a wide range of possibilities. However, it's very important that the arrangement of those links is very clear, structured and also well-thought-out. On the other hand too much information decrease usability and is contra productive. --[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 17:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC) ::BTW, just uploaded another mock-up that considered some of your ideas. --[[User:Eneas|Eneas]] 19:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC) :::Hello, Enea.

I came to the conclusion, which seems to be shared even by some among you to a certain extent, that wikimedia due to its lack of userfriendliness could not be used professionnally in the current state because editing required a significant knowledge of html (or its wikimedia subset) which can not be considered as largely widespread or be part of what some has named digital literacy. It thus required learning it, and of course if we want wikimedia to be used by anyone even for taking notes, this is learning something not related to their main business and they may not have time for that. This is why, even though I was enthused by its collaborative capability I felt it was impossible to ask people at my job to edit a wiki like they would do for a word processor document, it is already not easy to ask people to take time to document what they do, with the current userfriendliness of wikimedia, and the additionnal time required to edit, they would have drop out documenting. To be shared widely, I think wikimedia editing should be made as simple as word processors (which use is definitely part of digital literacy) and also featurewise rich enough. I think among the mandatory userfriendliness features it should be possible simply to : * choose the color of the text * choose the font * choose the size * introduce the possibility to outline with several colors * offer the possibility of foot notes * offer the possibility of comments all that in a simple maneer (agnostic to html) I don't know if all that is already included in the scope of your project but I think it is very important for people using widely wikimedia in their home or professionnal projects and therefore be sufficiently familiar with the edition possibilities that they feel no obstacle to one day editing wikipedia when they feel they can contribute. When I saw the news of this initiative I welcomed it very much, please make it really user friendly this is key (think of the market share taken by the iphone even with a very late release date compared to other phones, it mainly amounts to its user friendliness and ease of use... think about it). I read that important amount of money was dedicated to this excellent initiative. I think this is annother reason to reach for a real ease of use in order to maximize the impact of this investment and also because in general this kind of opportunity does not come twice. We support you in this well inspired initiative it is an opportunity to make the needed and decisive difference ! :Hoi, the key thing with every new application is that you appreciate what the application is about. Given that MediaWiki, the name of the software, is intended for collaborative editing, you have to look at what it is that you need as such. Several of the comments that you make are a bit bewildering. It is ok that you have to learn about what it is that the software does, MediaWiki is not a text processor, expecting all the attributes of a modern text processor may give the impression that it is a text processor. :It is possible to have different text sizes et al in Wikipedia. However it is not used that often because you are looking for a consistent look and feel. The point, MediaWiki is used professionally and teaching what is special about the software is important. This usability initiative should make many things more intuitive but it should not take away the notion that this is not text processing. Thanks, [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] 11:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC) == Comments and a suggestion == After using the English prototype site, I'm very impressed. I'm glad we're finally moving away from the put-everything-in-a-box design. I also think the new editing interface is a nice improvement (without being too radical). The only thing that threw me off was I couldn't immediately figure out what the icons for the bold and italic functions were for (those 3-D embossed lowercase 'a's) Perhaps they are a bit too fancy. I would prefer the standard bold and italic icons used by WordPress, TinyMCE, etc. They are much easier to recognize. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 21:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC) I also think that the icons are not chosen very well. I would use something like [1] for reference, too. Also, it is important for the toolbar to remain customizable. The integrated help OTOH is great; maybe it could even include an equally terse summary of policies? And the context-dependent signature link was a much needed addition. Just don't forget to enable it for the project namespace. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 15:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC) == Copyvio == Hello, the prototype contains copyrigt violations.

[[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 20:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC) == More suggestions for consideration == Hi, good work, thanks for making those changes in the edit-window buttons so quickly! I like the drop-down menus especially. More suggestions on the edit-window buttons: You have "Lists" and "section headings" listed under "Formatting buttons", which is not intuitive to me and, I suspect, to others. You may want to put those under a separate heading. You also forgot to include one type of Mediawiki list: the discursive list ; and :, corresponding to &lt;DL&gt;, &lt;DT&gt; and &lt;DD&gt; tags in HTML. A related problem that comes up for visually-impaired Wikimedians is that most other editors aren't careful about where they put the spaces between the list elements, effectively breaking one list into lots of one-element lists. The many lists makes it very hard to follow with a screen reader - try it yourself! That's especially annoying when you go to discussions with >8 participants, e.g., FAC on the English Wikipedia, where they use colons (discursive lists) for indentations. Could you make it so that editors have to do more work to create a separate list? I know it's not directly related to your mandate but accessibility to the blind is part of usability, right? You might want to consult User:Graham87 on the English Wikipedia, or look over the scripts he asked me to write to make his editing easier. From the second Commons video on usability, I noticed that the infoboxes, inline references, templates, etc. in the edit window were especially daunting to new users. A wall of weird text! A wall from which you can hardly pick out the article's prose. I recommend that, when a typical user opens the edit window, those elements be collapsed into show/hide buttons labeled "Ref1", "Infobox", etc. Making them hidden by default means less clutter for the average new editor, but anyone who wishes to edit those elements can click on them to show them and then edit them. Alternatively, you could make them different colors, as done by the Gadget wikEd, but I think the show/hide approach is much better, because it makes the edit-window version of the article closer to the normal article. Let me just push again to reduce the number of buttons, particularly in the left-hand column, but allow users to add/subtract/move buttons to suit their own needs. I believe that the present LH-column clutter is confusing and distracting, and also that most of those buttons are little used by most Wikipedians for most of their lifetime on Wikipedia. Again, drop-down menus for the interwiki links and categories, as described above, would be a win. Perhaps this is asking too much, but your "ref" edit button doesn't distinguish between inline citations (&lt;ref&gt;) and footnotes (&lt;ref group="note"&gt;, for example). Both are important elements of the best articles. You also might want to make it standard to give names to inline citations (&lt;ref name="Smith_1979"&gt;), so that they can be re-used easily. I'd love to have the option of a fill-in form like the one used in the XEB extension, especially if it links to something like Diberri's tool. The latter would be a ''tremendous'' help for scientists who would like to add inline citations to their articles but don't have a lot of free time to edit. Speaking from experience, adding 150 inline citation templates can be ''half'' the time I spend in bringing an article up to Featured-Article class. Make that one task more efficient and you make the whole FA process more efficient. Think about it. Hoping that these suggestions are helpful, and keep up the good work, [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 13:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC) == Still more suggestions on the edit-button bar == Hi, After playing some more with the prototype, a few more ideas occurred to me. * The Help ("cheatsheet") dropdown menu is great, but again you left off the discursive list (; and :). Perhaps you should at least mention indentation with the colon, since it's so common on Wikimedia projects? Practically every section of every Talk page has them on the English Wikipedia. * Again under the Help menu, I notice that you don't include ALT text in your example of a Figure caption. I understand that that's simpler for newcomers, but it's disappointing that we don't encourage accessibility for the visually impaired. * The Heading dropdown menu is likewise great, except that Level 1 shouldn't be listed, since it messes up the Table of Contents (see [[:en:User:Proteins/MoS_Nightmare]] for an illustration). The levels might be more intuitive for newcomers if the dropdown menu showed the levels more as they might appear in the article, e.g., with larger bolder fonts for the higher levels. (See the "What you get" column of the "Headings" section of the Help dropdown menu.) Bonus points: you should never allow the user to add a heading level that is more than one level lower than the present level, e.g., you shouldn't allow the user to add a H4 heading in the middle of an H2 section. That's a barrier to accessibility for the visually impaired and a major headache for the Manual of Style. * I would demote the boldface and italics edit buttons to the "Formatting" dropdown menu. That seems like the most natural grouping. For another thing, these two typefaces are not used that often in Wikipedia articles. Boldface is usually used once per article, in repeating the article title in the first sentence of the lead. Unless the article is being created from scratch, that sentence has usually been written already; therefore, most editors in most situations will never need the boldface button. The most common use of italics is in the inline citations (journal names), which are handled already by the citation templates. Thus, it's relatively rare that editors need to introduce italics. * Perhaps also under Formatting, you might add something for striking out text? That's also common practice on Wikipedia; for example, at FAC, one strikes objections as they are met by the nominator of the article. * Again, I would promote the "Headings" dropdown menu to the first (leftmost) position on the edit-button bar. I would discourage the use of external links by putting that one last. Lists seem less important than references (at least on Wikipedia) so you might put the three types of lists under the "Insert" dropdown menu. Hoping these new suggestions are helpful, [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 18:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC) == Upper gradient == I like the new design, js help in edit mode is great idea.

I prefer more contrast between visited and unvisited links, which I think monobook does well. The tabs and sidebar I think I could get used to, and might come to prefer. *The editing toolbar looks good in terms of style; it's an instant relief from the standard eyesore version. I think the meaning of the bold and italic buttons might not be very clear to many users; it would make more sense to me if it used a '''b''' for bold and an ''i'' for italic, rather than two a's.

A better icon would just to use the icon that is next to external links ([[file:external.svg|12px]]). * The chain while a clever pun and used in many HTML authoring programs; it continues to remain unclear non-English speakers and those without prior experiance. * Image icon is hard to read, far too much detail. Perhaps using a paint brush or digital camera (looking at the backside display?). Earlier versions of Windows had wavy borders (like in old photos) were clearer to read. Another option is a simple screenshot of the floating image thumbnail. * I mistake [http://usability.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/EditToolbar/images/insert-reference.png Insert Reference] for a spell checking icon. This is likely due to a similar icon in the status bar in MS Word for background spell checking. "Advanced" should be renamed to "Extended", since it doesn’t actually provide the advanced features (that's in "Special Characters"!?!). The external link icon malfunctions with text selections. It should be able to detect the difference between the title and the links perhaps based on a regular expression. The new skin vector, while on the surface is a nice new design, it is unpolished in colors and screen real estate. The edit box bare fits into my Firefox’s window (netbook, screen resolution: 1024x800). This is annoying as I have to scroll the outer window. I would like to suggest the team look into making a scroll-less edit box with floating toolbars, such that there will only be the outer scroll bars at any time. Additionally about half the colors that the developer has chosen blending white or black and judging from PDF screenshots I'd say that they were bitten by darker gamma from [[w:Gamma correction#Windows.2C_Mac.2C sRGB and TV.2Fvideo standard gammas|older macs]]. How is the extensibility and customization? Two items in English Wikipedia that would added immediately is a port of refTools and template menu/index system.

The other thing is that it was totally not obvious or clear how to add a topic to this page. Might a simple plus symbol be better than using the drop-down menu for that? Lastly, obviously the placement of upper right hand templates like Qui conflict with navigation links, but it seem the widely used <nowiki>{{administrator}}</nowiki> fails to work altogether in the Vector skin.

And now... click to go to next item?* wrong - same line </pre> Further more if I'm inside a line (not at the end) that has a list character, clicking on the list button should make the list disappear (this is would be similar to how it works office editors). But this could be a little tricky so another button for adding new list item should be added to avoid confusion. <pre> OK. Now I want to insert a table... Well this won't work:{| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! header 1 ! header 2 ! header 3 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |- | row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |} </pre> BTW. I have this experimental table adder which you might use (I think I won't be able to finish this soon).

First, having the search bar on the right hand side is ''really'' weird. Why isn't it with "navigation" like it is in monobook? IMO, it's much easier to find and makes more sense with all the navigation links. Second, having the cactions on the right side also feels a bit off... some buttons being on the left and some being on the right is kind of weird. E.g., to go to an article's talk page history, you need to move your mouse to the left of the screen and then to the right of the screen, whereas in monobook it's just a short distance away. Perhaps the cactions could be placed immediately below the page/discussion links? I like [[:File:Wikipedia Usability-Mockup-2.png|this]] idea quite a bit in that regard. My remaining two comments are related to things which aren't currently in the vector skin but which I think should be. The first is that I think the section edit links should be moved next to the end of the section headers. I helped to create and now use [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-lefteditlinks.js]], and a similar feature is used globally on the German Wikipedia and some other Wikimedia sites. The usability study said that users got confused about the edit links, and I think that in addition to making pages look nicer (no bunching, etc.), this would make them more visible and clear for new users. I have one other feature request. ''If'' the cactions and search box are moved from their current location, which I quite sincerely hope that they are, it would be a nice feature if the page/discussion tabs contained links to subpages of the current page (with right/left arrows to scroll if there are too many); this would immensely aid in navigation of userspace, some talk pages, project pages, etc. If this was done, then the new __NOSUBPAGELINKS__ magic word could prevent them from appearing (e.g., so that there weren't a bajillion subpage links on pages like "Articles for deletion"). Regardless of what is done, user css/js ''needs'' to be easily portable to vector if it is going to be a major skin. I understand that it isn't the highest priority, but everything that could be done to make existing scripts work without needing extensive modifications would be ''very'' much appreciated. As one example, scripts that add to the cactions or edit toolbar would currently need to be entirely reworked in order to have them work at all. Thank you very much for all of the work that you have put into this. I really like some of the new features and ideas... the modifications to [[Special:Search]] are just plain ''awesome'', and I like the overall style of the vector skin and the new edit toolbar, even though I find their layout to be a bit cumbersome. --[[User:Drilnoth|Drilnoth]] 02:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC) :(oh, just noticed this: The edit summary box seems ''way'' too small, and any decent length edit summary will need it to scroll to type in, which is kind of annoying).

Thanks! --[[User:Drilnoth|Drilnoth]] 15:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC) Some explanations, though they may not be the position of the usability team: * Top-left is the convention for search. See also [http://www.surl.org/usabilitynews/81/webobjects.asp this article]. You'll get used to it :) * The separation of contents and actions is intentional and good, since they should be separate. The mouse movement time is irrelevant since page load time is always slower. * The prototype that you suggest has a ''lot'' of non-trivial problems. The "read/edit/history" selector is poorly aligned. It should be a link, not a button. It's style is inconsistent with everything else. Its verb/verb/noun wording is inconsistent. It implies that read/edit/history are states of the current document, which is wrong. Print is in an unconventional location, and too prominent. The actions dropdown is... strange. Actions is grouped with categories, which is wrong. Categories is about content, and doesn't belong there. "More" is unaligned, meaningless, and probably inappropriate. Other languages is poorly aligned, and linebroken, which is ugly. The familiar line under the main heading is missing. The nested navigation thing is a bad idea. The > bullets are ugly, and the line spacing is bad. It all takes up too much space. Too much is changed at once (even if it was good, it would be rejected by the community). * I agree that the ugly bracketed edit links should be cleaned up. They should also be moved to beside the title. * Skin compatability really is a low priority (though I agree that it would be a nice bonus), since the few users that rely on hard-to-modify scripts can simply change their default skin back to monobook. Just my two cents. [[User:M|M]] 19:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC) **I was just mentioning the prototype image as an example of where I think the cactions should be located...

Below is a list of small problems I have seen. *On Safari 4 on Mac OS 10.5, if the font size is dialed down too far, the Wikipedia logo is visible outside its bounds, both overlapping the "Page" tab and the top of the page. (Why my girlfriend dials down the font size so far is a mystery to me, but since it's an expected potential behaviour, it should be accounted for.) *On Safari 4 on Mac OS 10.4, with normal (default?) font size, the icons for IRC links, e.g. [irc://chat.freenode.net:8001/wikipedia-en wikipedia-en on freenode] are missing a few pixels on the top, cutting off the border of the speech bubble. *On all browsers, the action that adds a new section should not be hidden in the dropdown list if possible. I also suggest that it should be titled "New section" instead of "Add topic", because the former is semantically clearer (what is a "topic"?). I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Addsection&diff=206707065&oldid=144490272 changed] this on the English Wikipedia a while back, when the default was still the somewhat enigmatic "+". *On Safari 4 on Mac OS 10.4 (and probably on all browsers?) the skin-default CSS appears to be overriding Common.css, which interferes with styles designed to be site-wide, such as the pink-backed notice on user CSS/JS pages which now appears white. *Why are there span tags wrapping the tab text in the views and namespaces bits, but not in the sidebar, personal, or actions (dropdown) bits? Don't get me wrong, it's easier to customize things without the spans*, but it seems like it would make sense for things to be consistent across elements. *:<small>*Specifically, the main historical path to adding tabs, the addPortletLink script, doesn't quite work as it uses <code>.appendChild( document.createTextNode( text ) )</code> instead of an <code>innerHTML</code> route. The lack of a span causes tabs to have their text float up to the top of the element, which looks broken. Users can't directly use a mod addPortletLink with an <code>if (portlet == "views" || portlet == "namespaces")</code> branch because addPortletLink is licensed under the GPL.</small> The skin's been greatly improved since my first look at it; it's my hope that it can get even better.

[[User:Nakon|Nakon]] 16:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC) == Review == Certainly an improvement. The emphasis on detail and a clean, consistent, and clutter-free design really stands out. I'm on Chrome, trying the Vector skin on en.wikipedia.org. The following glitches jump out: * When a new section is created, a "subject/headline" is inserted between the new toolbox and this textarea. * The blueness and the underline of "Advanced" and "Help" make me afraid that I'll navigate away from this edit page, so I avoid clicking them. The underline should probably not appear on 'links' that don't take you away from the current page (also 'watch'). It would be very reassuring if this were consistent. * Is there a way to replace that heading dropdown with something better for headings? Level 1 isn't particularly descriptive anyway. * I would prefer to scroll my main scrollbar a bit lower, rather than have to scroll to select the topics in help. Perhaps increase help's height just a bit, while reducing the height of each topic? * The "Description" heading in help is just fluff, and can be removed without anyone being confused. * The text baseline the tab text does not match the baseline of go/search. Go/search is a few pixels too high. * Perhaps due to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning kerning], the text of the logo does not appear left-aligned with the navigation links below. The Wikipedia globe logo should be a few pixels to the left. * 'Log out' and the search button are not right-padded consistently with the content. It would be a nice touch if they were right aligned upon that vertical line at which heading underlines end. I think it's the 1em padding on #content. * The bottom of that little blue man is not on the baseline of My Talk My Prefs... * The v dropdown for other actions does not have a blue background, so it seems grouped with go/search, and not read/edit/history. It would look just a bit better if its flat top was on the same topline as the "ory" to its left, rather than the capitals. * Whitespace is nice, but the div upon which the tabs sit is about an inch lower, so some prime above-the-fold space is lost. Content being pushed down isn't usually a problem, but for Wikipedia, it might be. If that line upon which the tabs sit moved up to point towards the center of the globe in the logo, this would be nice. * The background gradient starts a bit too high, so the tops of the tabs, which are meant to fade out into the whiteness above the gradient, fade out to white into a little strip of gray which is the start of that gradient. * The much nicer bullets are added to tables of contents, which makes them look cluttered.

Usually on sites that are search-oriented, as Wikipedia is, the search box is towards the top middle or top left. They also use bigger, more noticeable search boxes.

It should not, because nothing has changed. (Probably you are just keeping a "dirty" bit that indicates whether the edit box has been touched.) The simplest way to do this, in addition to your "dirty" bit, is to store the original wikitext when editing begins, and compare it to the current wikitext when the user tries to leave (window.onbeforeunload). I've been doing this in my own EditWarning-type extension and it works great, even for large pages.

The feature collapses references and long templates into placeholders, which reveal their contents when clicked (my original idea) or onmouseover (Cacycle's implementation). I also suggested tables, although wikEd doesn't do that as yet. The advantages of this approach are several. First, references and templates such as infoboxes/navboxes are unfamiliar in syntax and usually stretch over many lines, sometimes even filling the visible edit box. This is particularly grievous at the beginning of the article, where long infoboxes are common and where most newcomers will first try to edit. By collapsing each of these long elements into a small labelled placeholder, you make the text ''far'' more readable, much closer to the article as read. In effect, this approach distinguishes between simple wiki-markup (links, section headings, italics) and complex wiki-markup (references, templates, tables). The simple markup is a much smaller "perturbation" of the normal article and much easier to learn. You might consider other innovations of wikEd for usability as well, such as its icons, its color coding, its find/replace mechanisms, its automated fixing routines, etc.. It's well-liked by many of Wikipedia's most productive editors. I've listed a few more ideas for wikEd on [[:en:User talk:Cacycle/wikEd]], which you might also consider. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] 01:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC) PS. A third warning, please listen: Including "level 1" in the Heading dropdown menu is an invitation to disaster on a massive scale. If this new skin succeeds in recruiting thousands of beginning editors to Wikipedia, as we all hope, they will naturally choose level 1 for their first heading, right? I hope you know that '''level-1 headings are never appropriate on the English Wikipedia''', and I suspect most other languages and Wikimedia projects. Even if you ignore all my other suggestions here and above, please pay attention to this one. :The usability team is listening. Great point about level 1 heading is not appropriate for Wikipedia. How about external MediaWiki users though? We may need to find a way to customize for Wikipedia and MW project wikis. <br />P.S. Will check out content folding of wikiEd.

I think that Wikimedia projects are easy to use without too many goodies. Sure, I have a few javascripts that make my editing life a bit easier for repetitive tasks, but some of these changes are not for the better in my opinion. I may repeat what has already been said above, but there aren't section headings for each issue. ===Page tabs=== Please choose a side for them, splitting them up like that makes mousing to them a wrist ache. I mean, I don't get why the tabs in monobook are spaced unevenly as they are now, but at least they are all kind of grouped together. A cosmetic issue is that they don't have caps on them, they just sort of fade to the top. That just looks weird. ;Read/Edit tabs :I would not mind them all that much if there were less redundancy. When one is reading a page, one does not need a '''read''' tab. When one is editing a page, one does not need an '''edit''' tab. Now, if one is reading a page, an '''edit''' tab makes sense; if one is editing a page, a '''read''' tab makes sense. ::The very idea of these "redundant" tabs is to show people where they are.

I like them all on one side, preferably left. It wouldn't be such a shock to the system. ;Hidden function tabs :It is very important to '''not''' hide functions with a down arrow being the only way to access them. The function to ''Add topic'', while only on talk pages, is a very important function and should be seen at all times. The new topic screen is better, especially for new users, so that they can get used to adding things to the wiki in small bits. Also, it is far less likely that there will be an edit conflict when two newbies are adding their thoughts on a subject. ''Watch'' needs to be seen too, though ''move'' not so much. New users should stay away from that for a short time before they start moving things around. ::I agree with your distinction, although it might be possible to override it with a prefernce.

(I have had them turned off for so long, I had forgotten about them until now. I didn't even remember what they looked like until I turned them back on and took a look.) When they are turned off, there is the loss of the ability to insert special characters with a click which, on monobook at least, is under the edit window in its own menu. ====Missing wiki markup==== * <nowiki>{{}}</nowiki> - insert template * <nowiki>{{{}}}</nowiki> - insert variable parameter * <nowiki>[[Category:]]</nowiki> - insert category * <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[]]</nowiki> - insert redirect * <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:}}</nowiki> - insert DEFAULTSORT magic word * <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> - insert unwikified text * <nowiki><!-- --></nowiki> - insert unprinted comment * <nowiki><span class="plainlinks"></span></nowiki> - insert plainlinks for external links ===Annoying navigation pop-up=== I just found an annoying navigation pop-up. I was going to go back a page in another tab, and I got this annoying pop-up that tells me that all of my changes will be lost if I navigate away. If that is true, then that is a drastic change to the way things work. Currently, I can navigate away from an edit window to go back to look at something in an article in situ, then navigate back forward to the edit window where all of my changes are still there. If that has been taken away in this new skin, then Wikimedia will become a pain to edit. There are times when I only need a quick look at how things are where even opening a new tab in my browser would be overkill. :This only works on browsers that support it. Most (all?) versions of Internet Explorer don't support this and really do throw away your changes when you navigate away. Based on other comments, the pop-up has been reworded slightly to say you ''may'' lose your changes, and can be disabled in your preferences (both of these not live on Wikipedia yet, hopefully they will be soon). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 18:24, 9 August 2009 (UTC) ===New unordered list bullets=== I like them.

The new placement looks clunky and sprawled out. Where it is in monobook, it is nice, compact, and makes sense where it is. ===Spacing at top=== I don't know why, but that space aggravates me. Tighten it up please. ===Edit window in general=== It looks like a word processor. I would rather a link to the help page on wikicode than all of those images cluttering up my screen. When I first started out, I had more trouble when using the buttons than when I turned them off and typed in all of my wikicode manually with the help page in another window/tab. I really don't need those [[#Missing wiki markup|missing wiki markup]] links, but they are nice to have down at the bottom when I am feeling particularly lazy (especially when typing DEFAULTSORT). ===Missing interaction menu=== <strike>Where did it go?</strike> [[User:Lady Aleena|Lady Aleena]] 05:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC) ===Final thoughts=== I agree that Wikimedia projects need to be more usable, but not in this direction. Some cosmetic changes to make the text more visible to the visually challenged would be a step in the right direction. Has the color scheme been tested anywhere? There are people who might have trouble clicking in the right places, so sure bigger buttons might be a good idea for them. Keep the menus and functions tight for the rest of the users. That would put more article on a page. [[User:Lady Aleena|Lady Aleena]] 05:06, 7 August 2009 (UTC) :I also disagree with the movement of the search box. I don't find that it makes any sense up there.

So When I started using Beta, I was shocked to see that my tabs were pushed into a little down arrow menu, and disappeared on special pages. For example, I made a tab so that I could quickly patrol a page, but It got hidden, which defeats the purpose of a tab. Also, I want to be able to show tabs on Speciual pages.

Feel free to move it! '''Please''' use message documentation (in the <code>qqq</code> local use language code array) so as to describe what your message texts are about. Do not leave it to translators to find out, or guess. That was a real waste of labour and time. Currently, I found an up to ~50% error quote and misunderstandings in my, and my fellow translating editors, work. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" |+ '''''Some random misinterpretatons of the last hours !align="center"| ''original !align="center"| ''mistranslations !align="left"| ''real meaning |- |align="center"| "size" || byte count, filesize, girth, amount of data || font size |- |align="center"| "big text" || upper case, much text, huge text || enlarged font size |- |align="center"| "match case" || hit, in case of a match&hellip; || perform a case sensitive search |} Especially such short messages or single words as above are ambigious, and prone to being misunderstood. Even more so, when found outside of their context, which is the usuall situation, when you encounter them on [http://translatewiki.net/Special:Translate translatewiki.net] - most often in a bulk with new, or amended, messages from various sources and other extensions. Most translators seem to "believe" in their first (random) associative match, and seem hardly to believe that they could be wrong with it. Since I happen to read a handful of related languages to some extent, when I translate on translatewiki.net, I have the software show me the existing translations that I may understand, and thus I find lots of hardly compatible or even contradictive translations. Getting them straight is some work for several people. Most of it can easily be avoided. When a message is added, you only need to do two things: * in the <code>qqq</code> array, add a contextual description of the message text, plus a list of its parameters, if any, and their meanings, * in the <code>en</code> array, add the English message text. You as the authors doing this, rather than arbitrary other people, also has the advantage that thinking over meanings of message texts, more often than not yields clearer and more precise wordings in English as well.

The easiest and surely one of the best solutions would be to move the search box to just under the logotype, like [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia Commons] does it. The top space should simply be shrinked as much as possible, preferably by also moving the top-most links ("Log out" etc) to the same row as the page edit links ("Edit"/"View history" etc). This would allow the maximum number of users to easily find and navigate to the search box, while minimizing scrolling when reading articles, two very important usability concerns for a site like Wikipedia. Another option would be to place the search box at the top-left, right next to the logo above the Page/Discussion links, but I believe this position is harder to identify than right under the logo, and it would make it more difficult to shrink the top. Good work otherwise on the graphics! A nice balance between simple, quality changes while still maintaining the old look.

After reading through some of the comments I have created a crude mockup of how I think the next revision could look. Notice the following improvements: *The reduction of whitespace at the top. *By putting the Read/Edit/History options underneath Article (or Page, whatever) and Talk, we imply that those three options are available for both pages. *Important options (new section, watch) are displayed and easily accessible. Rarely used options (move, admin actions) are hidden. *A few extraneous elements are removed: the "view" from "view history", and the bust icon by the user options. Removing one of the search buttons is a possibility, too. *Tabs can be open or closed, but I think that square edges work better. This skin has a lot of angles and no curves.

On a different note, how do we get someone to implement this idea (which has a 3-0 "consensus")?--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] 02:36, 20 August 2009 (UTC) == Special characters selector ignores "CapsLock" and "Shift" states == The new "Special characters" list is really cool, compared to what has been activated today in most Wikipedias/Wiktionaries. Wouldn't it be cool if the "Special characters" selector could detect the current state of "CapsLock" and "Shift" modifier keys, so that it would only show the relevant small letter or capital letter, within the bicameral scripts where they are significant (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic) : this would avoid us to scroll on the list of characters to find the appropriate one, because the displayed list of characters would be twice smaller. If the current keyboard modifier states can be tracked, then it should be reflected on screen within active buttons which could alternatively be selected with a mouse click. Additionally, you should be able to select one character in the edited text, and if the selection contains only one character, the list of special characters would be immediately updated to show only (but all) characters that have the same base letter (including those with the other letter case): this would facilitate the edition, because we could just type the text with most letters, adn then be able to correct the few instances by selecting them (shift + left or right arrow, or mouse dragging) and then just click on the character button in the lsit to replace the selected character by the other character variant. Characters variants to consider should also contain things that are appropriate for some languages: allowing apostrophes to be typed by default with the appropriate character, without needing a special keyboard driver, having then just to select the other apostrophes with the one-character replace feature from the displayed list. Other things to consider: the support for input methods for non-native scripts, allowing to type greek or cyrillic much more simply by just typing the "equivalent" Latin base letter (i.e. support for transliterations), when the special characters box is open and another script is currently selected and displayed. Possibly extend this support for Hebrew and Arabic. For other scripts, it will be often more complicate due to lack of reference models, but this may be done later as well for some script pairs: discuss this with the users on Wikipedia or Wiktionnary editions for the relevant languages using those scripts, and that quite often need to transliterate words from/to Latin. Note also that transliterations are not often perfect and full of exceptions, but given that we can select a single character after it has been transliterated, and that we correct it ''in situ'' with the concept of the 1-character selection and reduced special characters list exposed earlier, this would really facilitate the life of many people, not just the casual editors. Also make sure that you add the support for the missing scripts. And complete the support for Vietnamese (that really needs and uses Latin letters with two diacritics, one of them being a modifier for creating a new vowel, the other one being used on top of any vowel to encode the tonality, an extremely important feature of most East-Asian languages that have lot of distinct words with single short syllables where only the tonality allows theur distinction). And please sort the IPA characters by phonetic type: * Here also you should not need to scroll this list. * E.g. group consonnants vs. vowels, then from back to front, consistant order between voiced and unvoiced. ** You could take an example of sort order from the table that appears in the articles speaking about IPA; ** Add selectable selectors for consonants or vowels or others (ties, length modifers, stress marks, tone marks, and additional IPA diacritics like nasalisation/rhotacization/etc.). ** If there are various options, make sure that the IPA symbols from the reduced subset of IPA used in the notation of phonologies come before the other IPA symbols used in the more precise (or academic) notations of phonetic realizations: this could be an interesting option for supporting IPA according to the main language of the current wiki project (but if there is a language selector in addition to the script selector, you could as well take it into account for the input method of any selected script). ** Make sure that the default script that appears is the default one for the lain language of the current wiki project. * Or by using the Unicode DUCET order described in the UCA standard, rather than the Unicode binary order (which makes absolutely no sense for most users, given that it just reflects the order of allocation in time, where characters were added in successive versions or in distinct blocks when the existing blocks were full, or when IPA symbols were kept unified with Latin or Greek letters); *: ''Note that even Unicode admits that the IPA 'g' should not have been encoded, given that this is just a style variant only for typography purists that prefer a single eye rather than a possible double-eye here, this symbol was then just allocated at a time when there was still no "Variant Selectors" in the Unicode standard; on the opposite, most of the Latin versions of Greek letters were NOT allocated specifically for IPA (even if there is a block named with "IPA extensions"), but for actual languages that need additional letters in their Latin orthography : in that case IPA uses these letters preferably, but IPA symbols are in fact not restricted to the Latin script, as it is just a notation, and not an orthography for any language''. * And here also you should be able to group the symbols by similar letters/sounds (consider the various variants of 'r' or 'l' or 'n') using the one-character selection exposed above (which could also be extended to two characters for tied symbols, like t?s or t??). In other words : continue to improve the usability of the "Special characters" list, to make it even smarter and user-friendly for each supported script (and for transliterations, most often from/to Latin).

I had a look at the current prototype and its source code and immediately thought: Wait, there is something missing! Usability and accessibility go hand in hand. The last weeks I had a deeper look into [http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/ WAI-ARIA] and its support in browsers and assistive technology. The test cases were promising. In fact, so promising that I was wondering why Aria hasn’t been on the agenda yet. (Gez Lemmon gives a good overview of Aria in [http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/introduction-to-wai-aria/ his article].) While Aria offers quite a lot there are three concrete things I am suggesting to implement: # landmark roles (all are applicable to the prototype) # widget roles (applies to our toolbar in edit mode: menubar, toolbar etc.) # document roles (article and math will be useful) As one of the most visited websites worldwide we can provide much better access to our projects for user’s with assistive technology and we can help to promote the usage of Aria. So far, [http://wiki.codetalks.org/wiki/index.php/Who_Supports_WAI-ARIA some big players] have already implemented Aria in their web applications or plan to do so. We can at least implement the above suggested three types of roles, i.e. adding a <code>role="<type>"</code> to the appropriate elements in our source code. Doing this for the search box will look like this: <code><nowiki><div id="p-search" role="search"></nowiki></code>. Adding roles doesn’t break anything in any older browser or assitive technology, it just get’s ignored. Is accessibility within the scope of the usability team’s work? Please let me know, if Aria is goingt to be delt with by you. Let me also know, if you need further information or if I can be of any assistance. I am happy to discuss my ideas with you in detail.

I have an idea that I'd like to share. I use Firefox + GreaseFire + GreaseMonkey, i.e two addons that allow the user to instantly apply a script from userscripts.org. So now when I am on Wikipedia, the Simplepedia script applies. I think you really should take a look at it, as it makes Wikipedia clear, peaceful and straight to the point. Hope I helped. == Show Preview-Show Changes as tabs == Props on the new design, and on the ongoing discussion and obvious effort you guys have put in. But... :) The first time I edited en:wikipedia, the pseudo-html was quite daunting. Now, as I edit, the preview button irritates me:<br>make changes, scroll down, hit Show Preview, wait..., scroll up to preview, sigh, scroll down to the edit box, rinse, repeat. Both are symptoms of the same thing, the separation of the raw-code in the text-edit-box from the natural layout of the preview. I was wondering if it would help to have four tabs above or below the tool-bar: Save Page, View Code, View Layout, View Changes, which would switch easily between the three views. It would feel more natural. More so, if you can make the text in "View Layout" (ie, preview) editable, how much easier would it be for a newb to edit a table or caption if they don't have to see the formatting? Or for anyone to make a quick drive-by edit, such as a typo or grammar fix, without having to search through a jumble of code for the right part. (Seriously, how many times have you wanted to click on the Preview text while editing?) It would also create an inherently WYSIWYG design which, as the server-side improves or as html5 adds Java-like browser functionality, would make it easier for you to add further GUI/WYSIWYG functionality; like drag and drop creation and editing of tables and text-boxes, or importing and positioning images. But without replacing the raw code edit-box for heavy lifting. Hopefully I've explained all that clearly. -- [[Special:Contributions/203.171.199.183|203.171.199.183]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:PaulxSA (PaulxSA)] 07:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC) I'm not sure I follow you all the way to WYSIWYG, but having the three views accessible without reloading the page would be a huge improvement.

I was even motivated to write a new complete Wikipedia article. So you know, it helps. There are some little issues here and there. E.g. would appreciate borders for the gallery. To the Design: I love the new look which shows that you have spent days with the planning of the site. It is not overloaded so that it would cause the exclusion of people in developing countries who have slow internet connections or slow PCs. It also gives Wikimedia a whole new identity in the WWW who tends to go more in this direction: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikiconcept.jpg Image] My question was: Is there the possibility to give the user the choice for the background (blue, green, yellow, orange, violet, pink and eventually even images)? Because I am not sure whether everyone is going to like this bright mix of grey and white.

This project is distinct from extensions such as [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms Semantic Forms], which allows for editing an entire page using a form; instead, each template call would be editable independently, using a pop-up form in the "edit" page. The main inspiration for this project is the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Helferlein/Vorlagen-Meister Vorlagen-Meister] (template handler or, literally, "template master") gadget on the German Wikipedia. In that system, each template is responsible for defining its own field structure, in XML form, on the ".../XML" subpage of the template's own page. Here is one example of such an XML file on the German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Infobox_Band/XML . When a user with this gadget enabled goes to edit a page that includes a call to such a template, they can right-click on the call in order to pop up a form, containing a text entry for each field in the template; if they submit this form, the changes they made in the form show up in the source code. Note that this editing can be done for every template, not just the infobox ones; here, for example, is the XML page for the "internetquelle" template, which looks like the German equivalent of the English "web cite": http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Internetquelle/XML. Under the current plan, the template forms project for Wikimedia would re-use some of the XML structure of the Vorlagen-Meister gadget. There would be a few key differences, however: * the feature would be implemented in PHP and Javascript, not strictly in Javascript * it would be enabled by default for every user * additionally, by default every template call would show up on the edit page as "minimized" in some way; see "Interface for editing template calls", below * the XML definition for templates would be located directly in template pages * additional input types could be defined by other extensions; a map input type, for geographical coordinates, is an obvious candidate for an extension-based type * there would be support for internationalization of the strings used within each form: the label and descriptive text for each field, and, in the case of "enumerated" inputs, i.e. those with a set of recommended values (such as appears with a dropdown input), possibly also those values (not the actual string that would show up in the template call, just what's displayed in the form). If an XML file does not exist for a given template, or one exists but it is not parseable, a button will still appear in place of the template call; but when the button is pressed, the system will instead either display a simple textbox for editing the template call; or parse the template itself and display a "best-guess" form for editing the call, based on the fields contained in the template. Of these, the former seems more viable, on the theory that it's better to have a cumbersome interface than an incorrect one. ==Interface for editing template calls== By default, the textarea in the edit page would be replaced by a Javascript-enabled edit box that (1) did syntax highlighting, and (2) turned template calls into clickable rectangles. The edit box would basically look like a standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript-based_source_code_editors Javascript-based source code editor], like CodeMirror or CodePress; [http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/ see here] for an example of CodeMirror in action. The template calls, on the other hand, might look like [http://galactica.wikia.com/index.php?title=Battlestar_Galactica_Re-Imagined&action=edit this example] from Wikia; note that the "stub" button at the top of the page represents a call to the "stub" template. Clicking on this button would bring up a window that might contain both a form for editing the call and a way to edit the call's wiki-text directly. ==Specification structure== The template specification has to handle translation in one way or another. Since the proposed first usage of this system is on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons], which is meant to support all languages, this is a very relevant issue. The plan is for as much of the form to be translateable as possible: field labels, field description messages, and possibly values as well, in the case of enumerated fields (like dropdowns). Here is the proposed XML structure, for a simple template that contains two parameters: "author" and "license" (information that appears on Wikimedia Commons): <source lang="xml"> <templateinfo> <group id="main"> <param id="author"> <label> <msg language="en">Author</msg> ... </label> <description> <msg language="en">The creator of this image; preferably a link to a user page</msg> ... </description> </param> <param id="license"> <label> <msg language="en">License</msg> ... </label> <description> <msg language="en">The license under which this image will be published</msg> ... </description> <options> <option name="CC-by"> <msg language="en">Creative Commons Attribution</msg> ... </option> <option name="CC-by-sa"> <msg language="en">Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike</msg> ... </option> </options> </param> </group> </templateinfo> </source> The presence of ellipses (...) indicates where other language translations could go. The <nowiki>"<group>"</nowiki> tag is used to specify groupings of fields within the form; this could, for instance, lead to all fields in one group being put into one HTML "fieldset". ===Untranslated values=== The structure should also support elements in only one language, with no translation provided. There, in place of a series of <nowiki><msg></nowiki> tags, there would simply be a string literal. In other words, instead of: <source lang="xml"> <description> <msg language="en">The license under which this image will be published</msg> ... </description> </source> It would simply be: <source lang="xml"> <description>The license under which this image will be published</description> </source> ===Defining data type=== A planned enhancement for this structure is to also allow for defining the data type or class of a specific template parameter. This would be accomplished through a "<nowiki><type></nowiki>" tag, enclosed within the "<nowiki><param></nowiki>" tag. A simple call to this tag could look like: <source lang="xml"> <type name="Number" /> </source> ...while a more complex call could look like: <source lang="xml"> <type name="Datetime"> <field name="date format">DD MM YYYY HH MI SS AM</field> </type> </source> ===Defining the interface and display=== The above specification does not allow for defining anything about the display of the form, including which form input types should be used, and specific display settings for both the inputs and the text. For all those, it is proposed that other tools and applications can define additional data, by using the "<nowiki><data></nowiki>" tag, which itself is split up via tags called "<nowiki><field></nowiki>"; this tag can be defined within three other tags: "<nowiki><templateinfo></nowiki>", "<nowiki><group></nowiki>" and "<nowiki><param></nowiki>", depending on whether they modify the entire form, a field/parameter group, or a single field/parameter. This would allow individual tools and applications, both browser-based and otherwise, to define whatever interface settings they wanted for each parameter/form field. Here, for example, is a theoretical call for the "license" parameter defined above: <source lang="xml"> <param id="license"> ... <data app="stevesbot"> <field name="inputtype">Radiobutton</field> <field name="cssclass">spiffy-radiobutton</field> </data> <data app="AcmeIPhoneApp"> <field name="widget">Option selector</field> <field name="labelColor">Green</field> </data> </param> </source> Within the Template Forms code, a hook would be provided to enable tools and applications to modify the display of each field in the form, based on that tool's (or any other's) display settings. ===Document Type Definition=== Here is the Document Type Definition (DTD), created by Trevor Parscal, for the proposed XML format: <source lang="xml"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE template [ <!ELEMENT template (description?,params?,data*)> <!ELEMENT templateinfo (param|group)*> <!ELEMENT params (param|group)*> <!ELEMENT param (label?,description?,options?,type?,data*)> <!ATTLIST param id ID #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT group (label?,description?,param*,data*)> <!ELEMENT label (#PCDATA|msg)*> <!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA|msg)*> <!ELEMENT options (option*)> <!ELEMENT option (#PCDATA|msg)*> <!ELEMENT type (field*)> <!ATTLIST type name CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT field (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST field name CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT msg (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST msg lang CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT data (field*)> <!ATTLIST data app CDATA #REQUIRED> ]> </source> ==Technical implementation== The current plan is for this functionality to get implemented in two parts: a new extension, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateInfo TemplateInfo], and additions to the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UsabilityInitiative UsabilityInitiative] extension. The TemplateInfo extension is responsible for defining two things, both implemented in PHP: * a tag function, <nowiki><templateinfo></nowiki>, that takes in the rest of the XML and handles display, transclusion and usage of it in an appropriate manner. * an additional action for the MediaWiki API so that the XML definition can easily be retrieved via API for a given template; this action will also validate the XML, and return a helpful error message if it's invalid. The actual display of the form will be handled entirely in Javascript, using the jQuery library, within the UsabilityInitiative code. Any feedback or questions about this proposal are welcome on the talk page.

Lets quickly outline the benefits and drawbacks. === Arguments for Using Semantic Wiki === === Template properties will be difficult to Share === '''Each of these XML Template_forms wikipages will be written without any of the properties having shared semantic meaning?''' To illustrate the problem: * Looking at the the license field example we see its properties are raw coded into the XML. ** Say you want to pull the "license" list from a category: *** You end up applying a series of properties/hacks to the license field. ***** populated from category:licenses, ***** has human help description English, Spanish, French ***** is a link to a license url, has thumbnails etc. *** ''NOW''... you want to reuse that license filed for the video page description that puts the license field in a slightly different place. **** '''BUT''' its all hard-coded into the template xml of the "image template" page... ** ''SO''... what people will end up doing is transclude <nowiki>{{Template:license_filed/xml}}</nowiki> calls inside the xml Template_Form that transclude the license_filed/xml template page. * We can imagine this happening a bunch... you end up recreating semantic mediaWiki property pages except using lots of template calls instead of structured data per property page... or if you don't allow transclution on xml pages you get lots of copy and pasting and maintenance issues and excessively general templates. * Of course you still need to tie the semantic property to the template property with some sort of markup.. but I think that would be more straight forward. ie reading the property part of <nowiki>[[Property::{{TEMPLATE_VALUE]]</nowiki> in the template page. (or transitioning to a more xml like template description language which perhaps Template_forms could be compatible with? === Template forms won't significantly improve structured data maintenance situation === * The above does not touch on how the data could be stored, displayed, or queried which are addressed in the semantic wiki based approach. * having the templates have xml properties is nice but there will be no system to query them in aggregate in real-time. Instead we will have only slightly better approach to templates as fields are ad-hock tagged with data types without consistency or shared ontology across template types. * Imagine you want to update some property or see pages that use a given property, or update a set of properties across different language wikis. ** We are still left with bots doing A LOT of edits which is at greater cost than just storing the data in some structured fashion to begin with. * We essentially expecting wiki-users across language to manually read other template properties on other wikis and copy and paste the values in ... instead of setting up a system that treats structured data as such? === Long Term Planning === * Semantic mediaWIki is a "hack" of structured data ontop of mediaWiki conventions and has many problems but it is better than lots of little less general solutions that address only parts of the same problem set. * We don't have to use all of semantic MediaWIki at once. For example if there is just resources for the template property problem at the moment then just use it for template properties? ** This way we have a road map towards increasingly interesting feature set, rather than a road map towards increasingly hackish solutions. === Questions for Using Semantic Wiki === * Is it scalable? Has anyone run any tests? Has anyone outputted all of DBpedia to wiki page nodes with semantic properties and see how it performs? * Is it too much extra complexity for any given task that the foundation technical staff can take on at any given time? * Can it really be modularized and feature striped be useful for a particular context without exposing the complexity? == XML format could be better == The XML format proposed seems to make it very difficult to re-use code because of the over-qualification of tag names and feature-limiting use of attributes. To the first point, elements like ParameterValueLabel are redundant. The path to that tag is "Parameter/ParameterValue/ParameterValueLabel" where the ParameterValueLabel element is one of possibly many other sibling ParameterValueLabel elements. Aside from my own proposal's choice of case and wording, this should at minimum be "Parameter/Value/Label". Furthermore, sticking to existing metaphors and language used in related formats, such as HTML helps allot with readability by way of familiarity. I'm proposing a structure where such path would be "param/option/label" where label is an element that encapsulates all messages so it could be handled on it's own in a generic way (discussed more below). To the latter point, attributes are best used for classifying or supplementing the information inside the tag (the "contents" or "text" of the tag). Take a look at the syntax for the HTML button tag which uses the contents of the tag to define the contents of the button (makes sense to me) in comparison to the input element which uses a value attribute to define the contents of the button. What happens when we want to do something interesting in the contents of the button? Well if it's an input tag, too bad. But the button tag is ready for anything. The syntax for the input element seems similar to the example that has been proposed here. <source lang="xml"><Parameter name="author"> <ParameterDescription language="en" value="Author" help="The creator of ..." /> <ParameterDescription language="de" value="Autor" /> <ParameterDescription language="ja" help="この画像のク..." /> </Parameter></source> What if we want to do something interesting with the "value" of the description? Like the input tag, we are out of luck - if the primary content of the tag is defined by the contents however, we would be free to add more functionality to things in the future. Also, what happens when we need to get the message of the description in a certain language, or fallback on let's say the first one defined? <source lang="javascript"> // $param is assumed to be a selection of a <Parameter> element var msg = $param.find( 'ParameterDescription[language=ja][value],ParameterDescription[language][value]:first' ).eq( 0 ).attr( 'value' ); </source> First off, the code used to process the XML is obviously not going to be reusable. It's also quite verbose which makes it more difficult to read. I am proposing a more generic format, which will be easier to work with. Using a more generic format also allows us to make tags that define messages easier for translators to interact with - both in adding new ones (the tags are simpler) and identifying which ones need adding (the tags are logically organized by purpose and language). <source lang="xml"> <param name="author" type="text" group="main"> <label> <msg lang="en">Author</msg> <msg lang="de">Autor</msg> </label> <help> <msg lang="en">The creator of ...</msg> <msg lang="ja">この画像のク...</msg> </help> </param> </source> Selecting the the message in Japanese, or the first one defined as a fallback now looks like this. <source lang="javascript"> // $label is assumed to be a selection of a <label> element var msg = $label.find( 'msg[lang=en],msg:first' ).eq( 0 ).text(); </source> This bit of JavaScript is very re-usable, in fact it could be used on every single instance of multilingual message definitions. It's also very brief and easy to read. Here's an example I've written up based on the one already proposed, but I included a few translations, which may be wacky since I just used Google translation tools to do them. <source lang="xml"><template> <groups> <group name="main"> <label> <msg lang="en">Details</msg> <msg lang="de">Beiwerk</msg> <msg lang="ja">詳細</msg> </label> </group> </groups> <params> <param name="author" type="text" group="main"> <label> <msg lang="en">Author</msg> <msg lang="de">Autor</msg> <msg lang="ja">著者<msg> </label> <help> <msg lang="en">The creator of this image; preferably a link to a user page</msg> <msg lang="de">Der Schöpfer dieses Bildes, vorzugsweise einen Link auf eine Benutzerseite</msg> <msg lang="ja">この画像のクリエイター、ユーザーのページにできればリンク</msg> </help> </param> <param name="license" type="option" group="main"> <label> <msg lang="en">License</msg> <msg lang="de">Lizenz</msg> <msg lang="ja">ライセンス</msg> </label> <help> <msg lang="en">The license under which this image will be published</msg> <msg lang="en">Die Lizenz, unter der das Bild veröffentlicht wird</msg> <msg lang="ja">これで、この画像がパブリッシュされるライセンス</msg> </help> <options> <option value="CC-by"> <msg lang="en">Creative Commons Attribution</msg> <!-- Other languages would just fallback to the first/only one defined --> </option> <option value="CC-by-sa" /> <!-- No msg tag could result in the label being the value --> </options> </param> </params> </template></source> --[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 21:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :I like... the one thing I'm not sure about is moving the <group>s to another section that way. Going ahead and nesting the params inside the groups makes me feel warm and fuzzy in general, and avoids duplicating the group names on all the parameters. --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] 22:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :The idea with groups here is to keep the messages for the group names in the same place, and make it so a group was optional rather than required - all param elements without a group attribute are considered to be in the default/nameless group. This especially makes sense when grouping is not needed (templates with only a few parameters). But I am flexible on this, and can see positives to nesting parameters in groups beyond warm and fuzzy feelings :) While nesting parameters in groups may make translation a little harder, it would probably be a little more straight-forward to build a form from, nesting parameters in groups would present the added benefit of allowing group elements to contain group elements (multi-level grouping, which my implementation cannot do). You could also achieve the optional grouping by allowing param elements directly in the template element - in this way groups become analogous to HTML fieldsets. I do wonder though, in the case of nesting parameters in groups, how would the labels for each group be defined? would there be a group/label element (with group/label/msg child elements) and a group/params element (with group/params/param child elements)? --[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 22:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC) ::I'd probably treat <group>s kind of like <fieldset>s here; a <param> ''can'' be in a <group> but doesn't need to be. Speaking of which, we should be explicit whether ordering translates directly to order in output. --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] 23:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC) ::The format I proposed (not nesting params in groups) seems more focused on parameter order in a template call, whereas the nesting of params in groups seems to be more focused on parameter order in a form. It seems like you could really go either way (XML node order == template call order | XML node order == UI presentation order). One thing to consider is that using attributes with numeric indexes to define order is usually an awkward and error prone method. Assuming we use nested params in groups and declare the order of params to be for the sake of the UI and not necessarily the output, having an extra section of XML like... <source lang="xml"><output> <param name="author" /> <param name="license" /> </output></source> ::...would probably be more maintainable - and in it's absence the order of the XML nodes (for the purpose of the UI) would be used as a fallback. [[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 23:36, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :::Yes, I thought of the <group> tag (which originated in the German Wikipedia) as basically a <fieldset>, which could in fact correspond to an actual <fieldset> in the form (probably not, but who knows). And my thought was that the order in the XML would dictate the order in the form. Trevor - your suggestions make sense, but I have a question: what did you mean by "What if we want to do something interesting with the "value" of the description?"? [[User:Yaron Koren|Yaron Koren]] 23:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :::I mean that just because right now you think there will only be plain un-formatted text for field names and help, this is very likely not always going to be the case - unless of course you lock us into that by using an attribute to define them instead of the contents of a tag. This is especially going to be important with help which is very likely to contain formatting, and if wikitext formatting is used, then where is it going to be parsed? On the server and then sent to the client in HTML? Even if that's true, XML tags are used all the time in wikitext - so what then? [[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 23:36, 23 September 2009 (UTC) ::::Ah, I get it, that makes sense. [[User:Yaron Koren|Yaron Koren]] 23:41, 23 September 2009 (UTC) This conversation is getting a little disjointed (understandable, because there are a lot of issues) but - to get to the issue of parameter order, I don't know if there's a need to have their order in the template call ever be different from their order in the form. For what it's worth, in Semantic Forms the order is always the same, and no one's complained about it yet. [[User:Yaron Koren|Yaron Koren]] 23:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :Making my idea of falling back to the template call order being the same as the UI order by default make all the more sense, but in cases where we may find that to be unsatisfactory, adding an output element would solve the problem elegantly. [[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 23:52, 23 September 2009 (UTC) == Mock-up? == >additionally, by default every template call would show up on the edit page as "minimized" in some way; perhaps replaced by a button, which when clicked allowed users to either edit the call with a form or edit the source directly. Just wondering if someone could do a mock-up of this. I'm finding it hard to picture - do you really mean embedding buttons within the edit control? Or would you have an edit control, then a button, then another edit control...etc? That would work ok for big templates but would be onerous for little ones like en's "th" or something. [[User:Stevage|Stevage]] 23:24, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :By "button", I was really imagining just some sort of rectangle, which is partly inspired by how Wikia does it. See [http://galactica.wikia.com/index.php?title=Battlestar_Galactica_Re-Imagined&action=edit here] for an example of that - the gray "Stub" rectangle represents a call to the "Stub" template, and clicking on it is supposed to let you edit the template (it looks like it doesn't actually work unless you're logged in, though). [[User:Yaron Koren|Yaron Koren]] 23:49, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :For the syntax-highlighted editor, we are planning to make the template call a collapsible block of text which can be edited by hand or with a graphical user interface. We are intending on placing a (perhaps preview of the rendered template/at minimum a button) in the place of the template call when viewing in a WYSIWYG mode (which is in the perhaps far future depending on manpower available to us) In the case of the "th" template, the box/button being inline will make allot of sense visually in both editing modes. In the case of fragmented templates which are seen in table generation among other things, the current implementation is scary and those templates should be modified to conform to a more manageable form. The concept of this more "manageable" form is that a template that is broken up into parts for whatever reason should have a single wrapping template. For instance <nowiki>{{thing |{{head}} |{{body}} |{{foot}} }}</nowiki> :rather than <nowiki>{{thing-head}} {{thing-body}} {{thing-foot}}</nowiki> :<small>* fixed the tripple brackets to be double - sorry about that</small> :[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 23:50, 23 September 2009 (UTC) ::Really, the first one is preferable?

[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 00:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC) Consecutive templates are necessary when you need free text which can include | and = (supposing the triple braces in the example were a typo - otherwise I don't understand it). Many table templates would be unnecessary if there would be a better table format such as ''<nowiki>| if="condition" | ...</nowiki>'' instead of ''<nowiki>{{#if:condition|{{{!}}} ...}}</nowiki>'' - much of the ugliness comes from the need for conditional rows and cells. --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 12:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC) == User's perspective == I'm not sure that the way it is done on dewiki should be kept (of course, it's probably the best that could be done without deeper modifications of MediaWiki). I see several problems: 1) If template text remains in the edit box as is the case on dewiki now, we have the same problem: an editor faced with incomprehensible wall of text and markup. 2) If the template text doesn't remain in the edit box, ''by default every template call would show up on the edit page as "minimized" in some way''. But in which way? 2a) It could be shown as some placeholder text. This would lead to editors often deleting the placeholder text accidentally. 2b) ''perhaps replaced by a button, which when clicked allowed users to either edit the call with a form or edit the source directly'': this requires a rich edit box that we don't (and won't?) have. I'm not sure what would be the solution for this. Perhaps, the same way it is possible to separately edit a section, it could be possible to separately edit a template call or a table. Then they wouldn't appear in edit box at all, yet it would still be possible to edit them (both as source or with an editor). [[User:Nikola Smolenski|Nikola Smolenski]] 07:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC) :It would require an edit box that basically just did some syntax highlighting; I don't know if it would qualify as "rich".

In some XML formats like HTML tags can be any case as long as the closing tag matches - but it's essentially just converted to lowercase internally. To avoid typing mistakes and to be more consistent with formats like XHTML, SVG and other existing uses of XML within wiki-text, I propose we stick to all lowercase. Abbreviations are preferred over complete words ("msg" not "message"), and if multiple-words absolutely must be used, hyphens are are preferred over merging words together ("element-name" not "elementname"). * 3rd party tools can add data tags to the template, group or param tags. * Ordering and grouping of the param elements in the XML is representative of how the params should be presented in a form or table. Template call order is either unchanged (if editing an existing call) or generated by placing parameters with non-numeric ids in alphabetical order, and then inserting parameters with numeric ids at the index of their ID number.

But if we want to offer a nice edit environment for people with no idea of programm language we have to integrate one interface between the wiki code and the user. How ? By parsing the wikicode and by displaying data in several windows. Magnus Manske did already a JavaScript function splitting a wikicode into different frames (see [[en:User:Magnus_Manske/less_edit_clutter.js]]). But we can go a step further and imagine to create an environment like gimp: in gimp toolboxes are available in different windows. So we can do the same: one window for every template, one window for the references, one for the main text, one for interwiki links, one for catagories. We will need one window listing all others windows and allowing to close or open them. Then we can open what we want to do the edition.

In attempting to pull "watch" & "unwatch" out of drop down menu and up to the always-visible tab level, we are considering representing this with icons as well. We have prototyped this [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/ here]. We are interested in hearing your opinion on this change. We are interested in the use of icon, the icon itself, and we are also particularly interested in your feedback on the animation we have employed while the server calls are being made. :* I like the animation, and displaying the difference between watched and unwatched with colors. :* The icon itself is nice, but the star could be confused with the star for Featured articles as used for instance in en:wikipedia articles like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism en:Autism] :** Indeed. Maybe we could use a bookmark symbol instead. --[[User:Mephiles602|Mephiles602]] 17:36, 17 October 2009 (UTC) :* a bug: The hint text for adding and removing is both the same. On previous versoins you could see it by the Text Watch/Unwatch. I just noticed the hint text in the past was the same as well, but with only a difference in color you need a different hint-text. :* On the prototype the Move fuction is not available. Together with other (adminstrator) fuctions like Delete and Protect you still need a drop down menu. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] 15:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC) == Watch icon & feedback message == To avoid the confusion with featured article icons, we could consider using an icon with glasses (it would be closer to the "watch" feature). I looked for "eyes" icons but they don't look good. I think I still prefer the star, which is a pretty universal symbol for favoriting something. I have another comment though. I think we could get rid of most of the feedback message that displays when you watchlist a page. Right now, a gray frame appears [[MediaWiki:Addedwatchtext|that states]]: :The page "'''Foo'''" has been added to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]]. Future changes to this page and its associated talk page will be listed there, and the page will appear '''bolded''' in the [[Special:RecentChanges|list of recent changes]] to make it easier to pick out. Although this frame is better than the previous feedback action (the user was redirected to another page only to tell them that their action was succesful), I think we could go a bit further and trim the message to keep only what is necessary. A feedback message is not really the place for documentation: * The user doesn't need this message to explain what the watchlist is. If they want to know, they will click the "watchlist" link and find by ourselves; if any information about what the watchlist is should be given, the watchlist should be the place for it. * Is the information about the recent changes really useful? On large wikis, nobody uses the recent changes page anyway, because they're going too fast. On all wikis, any change or a watched page that would appear bolded in the recent changes would also appear in the user's watchlist anyway. And, as I said for the watchlist, this information (watched pages are bolded in the recent changes page) should be given on the recent changes page, not here. So this information is completely unnecessary here. * Last, the user don't need the message to tell them what page has been added to their watchlist. They know that already, they're on the page! This is an example of a message showing the implementation model rather than conforming to the user's mental model. [[File:Watch feedback.png|thumb|300px|Quick proposal]] By shortening out the message to the ''actual feedback'' ("You have added this page to your [[Special:Watchlist|your watchlist]]."), we could display it as a temporary info notice right below the star icon (see attached picture). It would be automatically dismissed after a few seconds. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 20:22, 17 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks so much for your feedback guillom - we really appreciate it. Messaging is certainly something we think about and would like to work on further along the road.

It might disturb significantly the users. Plus, an icon without text (and only a tooltip) will never be as clear and easy to use as "Watch / Unwatch". Please remember the following discussion. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 21:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC) For watchlists specifically, we want to look into a "star icon" type approach that's familiar from GMail, Firefox, and other apps. This would save space, allow us to always have the watch feature present, and make the watch state immediately obvious.--Eloquence 04:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC) :I've been using gmail and Firefox for one year and one year and a half respectively. Thanks for explaining me what the star actually means, 'cause I've been wondering what it is until now. I felt it was not important since it is so small and clueless.

Also, remember that watch is not available to anonymous editors. So the skin will have to change by privilege. I like the idea of each user being able to customize which buttons are shown to his/her liking.HereToHelp (talk) 00:08, 23 September 2009 (UTC) :::That makes three things we want: (1) better defined defaults, (2) responsive to editing privileges and screen resolution, and (3) customization. The fourth concept is a "star icon", that is the icon would light up if the page is watch and remain either hollow or dimmed if the page is not; well right now if a page is "watched" the text simply changes to "unwatch", the reversed if the page is not watched. I think this fourth concept is not worthwhile discussed alone, there are two reasons for this: (1) without the text, and for new users, the idea of a star lighting up would be ambiguous; (2) if we had the text and the star, then why not cut the redundancy of the star. Now, with customization, then this could be something to our own choosing, and those who want it or something similar will get exactly that.

The 'Bold', 'Italics', and other character formatting icons proved particularly challenging. In the end, we have decided our favored approach is to support and use language-specific icons for the 'Bold' and 'Italics' buttons (making them more intuitive, easier to identify and use), but to design these in a manner that they can be easily generated in other languages. We have started off with the 5 languages with the largest wikis: English, German, French, X, X. These alone should work for many closely related languages. If an appropriate icon for your language is not present in the set, you can follow the instructions below to create the icons for your language. We both encourage and would greatly appreciate your efforts. Please also add your work to the growing set so that others do not have to duplicate your work. We encourage people to use the icons we have provided for the size and baseline character formatting. We have used the latin letter 'A'. <br /> We have created these icons using the [http://www.droidfonts.com/ Droid font family]. It was developed by Ascender in fall of 2006 explicity for Google and the Open Handset Alliance for use on the Android platform. It was designed for on-screen readability and is licensced under the Apache license. The collection provides an extensive set of styles (including bold and italics of course), weights, and language support (including Western and Eastern European Languages, Cyrillic, Greek, Turkish, as well as glyphs for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). This is a tutorial on how to create language specific bold/ italic icons for our toolbar. Take a look at icons that have already been created before you start to create one yourself. When you have succeeded to create a new icon please contribute it to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiEditor_Toolbar_Icons this page] on Wikimedia Commons.<br /> This page offers a tutorial using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and another one using the Opensource applications [http://www.inkscape.org| Inkscape] and [http://www.gimp.org| Gimp].<br /> The result should be similar, no matter which applications you prefer.<br /> Finally: Please check to see whether your icon looks similar to universal [[File:toolbaricon_bold_A.jpg| bold]] and [[File:toolbaricon_italics_A.jpg| italic]] icon.

Discussion between members of the group is critical<ref>Krug 2006, p.133</ref>. Goal: getting a quick view of how people feel about ideas in the early stages of the product's development. * Usability testing (one-to-one interview): observing how individuals use the product, the difficulties they encounter while using the product and performing specific tasks. Goals: getting more familiar with the users' mental model(s), identifying critical issues and testing improvements. == User research plan == A quick analysis shows that: * The team is already aware of critical issues with the upload process and workflow. * The community of users is happy to provide information and feedback on a continuous basis. * The more usability studies, the more information we get and the better the product becomes. But we have to optimize the use of our limited budget, and we can't afford many full-scale usability studies. As a consequence, we propose the following research plan: * '''[[Multimedia:Preliminary user research|Preliminary user research]]''' in the very early stages of the project: interviews of users, discussions with stakeholders, focus groups (Multimedia meeting in Paris) and online survey(?). *: Timeline: October-November 2009 *: Type: formative testing<ref>For more information about formative vs. summative testing, see ''[http://www.alistapart.com/articles/usability-testing-demystified/ Usability Testing Demystified]'', Dana Chisnell, [http://www.alistapart.com A List Apart], October 6, 2009.</ref> *:Goals: *:* Observing and understanding why and how users use the product *:* Identifying or confirming critical issues that users encounter during its use *:* Collecting input from various stakeholders * '''[[Multimedia:UX study, March 2010|Formal usability study]]''' six months later: "classic" study with usability firm, lab etc. Participants would be confronted with two interfaces: the initial interface as it was before any improvement, and a prototype interface with some improvements based on the preliminary research *: Timeline: February/March 2010 *: Type: both formative and summative testing *: Goals: *:* Formally validating the issues identified by the preliminary study *:* Checking progress and improvements of the prototype *:* Letting users show us issues that may be masked before by more critical problems that we fixed in the meantime<ref>Krug 2006, p.139</ref>. * '''Formal usability study''' at the end of the project: Possibly with a reduced number of participants. *: Timeline: October 2010 *: Type: mostly summative testing *: Goals: *:*testing improvements and identifying remaining issues. * [[Multimedia:Metrics]] == Bibliography == * S.

What could we learn from them? == Criteria == Besides a general evaluation, we try to answer the following questions: * What is the minimum information required to upload a file? * Is multiple upload possible? If so, is there a limit? * Do they provide large batch upload tools? Are there unofficial such tools? * Do they care at all about copyright? What do they do to avoid copyright violations? * Do they allow/facilitate mobile uploads? * How do they categorize content? (if at all) * How do they rate content? (if at all) * Do they have a review workflow? * Do they facilitate reuse? Some general indicators also help contextualize information: * number of users (at least one media file) * number of active users (TBD) (may be difficult to get and/or make figures consistent) * total number of media files * growth rate (total number of files / time since creation, brought down to 1 day) See also [[w:List of photo sharing websites|List of photo sharing websites]] == [http://www.flickr.com Flickr] == ; Description : Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. In addition to being a popular website for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. As of October 2009, it claims to host more than 4 billion images. ([[w:Flickr|source]]) ; General usability : Large invitation to upload photos & videos, both for logged-in and new users (who are prompted to create an account). The interface is simple enough, with good discoverability and many invitations displayed only at the appropriate time. The drop-down menu toolbar imitates desktop applications menus. === Upload === ; Minimum information required to upload a file : Only the actual file. ; Additional information : Privacy settings are proposed on the upload page. It is possible to show more upload options to specify safety level, content type etc. Once the upload is finished, the user can either be done with it, or add a description as they are prompted to. ; Multiple upload : It is possible to upload multiple files at the same time using the default web interface? No limit with the normal (Flash) uploader. Six items at a time with the basic uploader. ; Mobile uploads : They allow and facilitate uploads from mobile devices [http://www.flickr.com/tools/mobile/]. It is done by e-mailing a special address. They also provide an official iPhone application including an upload feature; other third-party companies provide applications for other platforms (e.g. Blackberry). ; Batch upload tools : Flickr offers two [http://www.flickr.com/tools/ desktop uploaders], one for Windows and one for Mac. On the same page you find informations about third-party upload tool plug-ins: [http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/ FlickrExport], a plugin for iPhoto and Aperture (Mac), and [http://juploadr.org/ jUploadr], which is cross-platform (Windows, Linux and Mac) and cross-site (Flickr and Zooomr). It is also possibile to [http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/ upload by email]. === Review === ; Copyright : Users are asked not to upload "anything that isn't [theirs]" ([http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne Flickr Community Guidelines]). Flickr is not really interested in copyright complaints; Commons must maintain a list [[Commons:Commons:Questionable Flickr images|blacklist of Flickr users]] making false or erroneous copyright claims. ; Content classification : Users can tag their photos and videos. They can decide if other users can, too (friends or family, contacts, every Flickr user). Uploaders may also use personal sets & collections to organize their works, or add their pictures to topical groups. ; Content rating : Any registered user can add a picture that isn't theirs to their "favorites". Some groups also serve as a rating system. ; Review workflow : For accounts: Flickr staff review people's uploads and flag the account according to whether the owner is able to moderate their content. For content: registered users can "flag" a picture and ask Flickr to review its "safety level" === Impact & reuse === ; Statistics & metrics : Everyone can see on photo pages how many times a photo was viewed. Pro Users can also see referrers information for the last 28 days. ; Reuse :It is generally possible to view photos at different sizes and download them. Original size is available only for photos by Pro Users. Users can "prevent" (make it more difficult for) others to download their photos, or they can limit the possibility to other users, contacts, friends or family. It is also possible to select a Creative Commons license. : They also facilitate reuse of their pictures elsewhere on the web b y providing code snippets to be inserted in web pages. Registered users can also use the one-click "blog this" feature to use a picture on their blog (if the author has not disabled the feature). === Other notes and resources === == [http://www.youtube.com YouTube] == ; Description : YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload and share videos. [...] The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, the BBC, UMG and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program. Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. ([[w:YouTube|source]]) ; General usability : Fairly visible invitation to "add a video" === Upload === ; Minimum information required to upload a file : Any registered users can upload a file. OGV files are ok. Only the file is needed to upload. ; Additional information : After the upload, the user is prompted to add a title (suggested from the file name), a description, tags and a category. It is also possible to add additional information such as geotagging later. After the first video is uploaded, YouTube sends an e-mail to the user to help them go further and discover features. ; Multiple upload : It is possible to upload multiple files at the same time using the default web interface. After a file has been selected for upload, another "add a video" field appears. It is also possible to use the "[http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_multiupload multi-upload plugin]" and to provide a list of videos that will be uploaded in the background while the user does something else. ; Mobile uploads : It is possible to upload videos via their [http://m.youtube.com/my_videos_upload?is_adult=True&hl=fr&gl=US&client=mv-google#top mobile gateway or by e-mail]. ; Batch upload tools : None known of. === Review === ; Copyright : There is a warning on the upload page, telling people they shouldn't upload videos for which they don't own the copyright. ; Content classification : The uploader may specify a general category (People, Education, etc.) and free tags.

The rating is systematically displayed with each video, including in search results. ; Review workflow : Registered users may "flag" videos for review by YouTube staff. === Impact & reuse === ; Statistics & metrics : Any user can see video views numbers and its evolution with time. They also provide anonymized statistics about the sex, age and location of viewers. ; Reuse : Youtube's terms of service legally prohibit downloading and reuse outside of youtube. Practically, they have not yet been known to enforce this agreement but downloading must be accomplished via third-party tools which periodically break as the Youtube site operation changes. However, Youtube encourages the embedding of videos they host in third party websites. They provide code snippets that can be customized (color of the player, size of the video, etc.) with immediate preview === Other notes and resources === == [http://www.facebook.com Facebook] == ; Description : Facebook is a social networking website where users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.

It it infringes the author's copyright, the author may file an automated DMCA notice. ; Content classification : A user may create albums. ; Content rating : Facebook provides a general "like" feature. ; Review workflow : "Report this photo" (see 'copyright'). === Impact & reuse === ; Statistics & metrics : None. ; Reuse : No. === Other notes and resources === == [http://www.fotopedia.com Fotopedia] == ; Description : Fotopedia claims to be "the first collaborative photo encyclopedia." ; General usability : dark background, very "photo" look. Photos are the real stars of the website. Smooth slideshows. No prominent invitation to participate to the general website (it doesn't seem to be possible), but there is an invitation to add pictures on each topic page. However, a large emphasis is put on adding existing pictures from Fotopedia or Flickr, and the "upload from computer" link is carefully hidden. General appearance is clean and pretty, but general usability is not-so-good. === Upload === ; Minimum information required to upload a file : The file (from Flickr or one's computer) + the page it should be added to. ; Additional information : None. ; Multiple upload : No. ; Mobile uploads : No. ; Batch upload tools : [http://www.fotopedia.com/download Yes], available for MacOS & Windows only. === Review === ; Copyright : Users can specify a default license in their preferences (All rights reserved, PD & all 6 CC licenses).

This solution is considered "old" and doesn't work very well, and maintenance and improvements are given low priority. It is an official alternative, not deprecated, but not exactly encouraged either. :From the website, you log in, follow the upload link, and click the FTP alternative. You pick a name for your new "item". The item name will become part of the URL, so it must be unique. Then you are given the login details to the FTP server. You can use any FTP client. When you have logged in, there is a subdirectory having the name of your new item. You can upload one or more files to this subdirectory. When you are finished, you click a submit link on the website. The Internet Archive now moves the contents from the FTP subdirectory to its internal storage architecture. This can take some time if there were many files. After this, you arrive at a web form where you add metadata for your new item, including optional descriptions for each uploaded file. :When uploading the Wikipedia visitor statistics logfiles to the Internet Archive, one such "item" was created for each month (e.g. [http://www.archive.org/details/wikipedia_visitor_stats_200712 December 2007]). Each item contained some 1440 files, totaling tens of gigabytes. The biggest problem was that FTP transfer bandwidth appeared to be limited to 3.5 megabits per second per session.

the 1:1000 sampled squid log the edit and submit calls that are relevant to the usability project and track edit/save ratio of relevant calls over time. #Only script index.php #Only mime type "text/html" #Only article space 0 (few newbees will edit other namespaces) #No failed calls #No edit calls that were result of clicking a link to a not existing page, as most probably 95% are unintentional edit calls, where people who do not know what a red link implies clicked that link. #No requests issued by bots #No incomplete log records (where e.g. destination wiki is masked) The following are frequencies in which index.php result codes are found in the 1:1000 sampled squid logs from just over 6 months: Note: counts needs update, criteria 1-3 were not yet applied TCP_DENIED/403,action=edit 321390 TCP_DENIED/403,action=submit 33 .

TCP_MISS/200,action=submit 75768 [3] TCP_MISS/302,action=submit 116141 [4] Explanation: Almost all TCP_MISS/302 (2) are result of clicking a missing link. Roughly half of TCP_MISS/200 (1) are as well. So missing links can result in 200 or 302, this initially was somewhat confusing. On further inspection this turns out to be language dependent (configuration item ?).

One would expect mostly experienced editors there, and therefor a edit/submit ratio closer to 1 than on other wikis. Further research, cross checking needed. '''Caveat 2''': If certain user assisted (= semi-automatic) bots would no be recognized as bots (= give no clue in the agent string in the squid log record), that would give serious pollution of the counts. For instance if a spell checker bot asks the user to confirm a suggested correction directly in the edit screen, that could generate hundreds of aborted edits in one evening session. further research , cross checking needed.

[[Category:Multimedia usability - Research]] [[Category:Multimedia usability - Meetings]] [[Category:Multimedia meeting in Paris|*]] m3w7ofnhw600v4r3jly1ahh20nvlp45 100 644 8988 8987 2010-10-12T22:11:09Z Guillom 13 polish 8988 wikitext text/x-wiki The main goal of the survey was to get a better understanding of why the respondents used Wikimedia Commons (or why they did not), what activities they engaged in and why; it was part of our [[Multimedia:Preliminary user research|preliminary user research]]. An underlying goal was to see how users reflected upon their own use of Wikimedia Commons, and to compare this subjective self-reflection to objective data. Last, we wanted to identify behavioral patterns based on correlations between goals, activities and levels of activity. The survey ran during three days and was linked from all Wikimedia websites for all logged-in users. It was [[:m:Media participation survey|available in 20 languages]] in order to address the multilingual nature of Wikimedia websites and particularly Commons. During this time, 25,150 complete responses to the questionnaire were recorded. We used Pearson's χ² tests to evaluate the independence or correlation of some factors, using a threshold of 0.01%. == Schedule == The goal was to have some data before the [[Multimedia:Meeting in Paris|Meeting in Paris]] (6-8 November 2009). The fundraising team needed the sitenotice starting November 2nd. We had a very short window of 1 week (26 October - 1 November), which meant translating the survey in 2-3 days. == Results == ''Larger versions of the charts are available at the end of this document.'' === Users === [[File:Media survey 2009 - 1. Why and why not use.svg|thumb|Reasons for looking up files in Commons (or not).]] First, we asked the users if they used Wikimedia Commons, and for what purpose; if they used it infrequently or not at all, we asked why not ({tab:survey-why-use}). Almost 2/3 (62%) of the respondents declared they used Commons (users), while the others declared they did not (non-users). More than half the users identified their main goal when searching files on Commons as to illustrate an article on Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project<ref group="Note">See [[#Limitations|Limitations]].</ref>; the second goal was to use media files offline. We also investigated the reasons why some respondents did not use Commons; given that the target audience of the survey was logged-in Wikimedia users, we expected them to be aware of Commons, even if they did not participate in it. On the contrary, it appeared that 70% of the respondents who did not use Commons simply did not know about it until the survey. Other reasons included issues due to the search feature or the predominance of English as the ''lingua franca''. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Distribution of the major motivations chosen by respondents when asked why they used Wikimedia Commons |- !

Why participate.svg|thumb|Main goals of participants.]] The users were then asked if they also participated in the activities of Wikimedia Commons. More than half the users (60% of users, 37% of respondents) declared they did. Baytiyeh & Pfaffman recently studied the motivations of "administrators" volunteering their time on Wikipedia<ref name="Baytiyeh2009">''[http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1600117 Why be a Wikipedian].'' H. Baytiyeh and J. Pfaffman. In ''CSCL'09: Proceedings of the 9th international conference on Computer supported collaborative learning'', pages 434-443. International Society of the Learning Sciences, 2009.</ref>. They found that the main reason was a desire to learn and "an altruistic desire to create a resource for others to use". Our survey was broader and was not intended to be as thorough as Baytiyeh's; however, the fundamental difference between Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons elicited our curiosity: were the motivations shared universally amongst Wikimedia projects? We asked the participants to identify the main reason why they participated in Wikimedia Commons ({tab:survey-why-participate}). 65% of respondents declared their main motivation was to illustrate Wikipedia or another Wikimedia projects. The altruistic desire to share with the world was consciously identified as main reason to contribute by only 11% of respondents; this proportion reaches 28% when consolidated with similar, but less explicit answers. Overall, contributing to Wikimedia Commons is widely considered by participants as a means to illustrate Wikipedia (or other Wikimedia projects), rather than a goal in itself. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Distribution of the major motivation chosen by the respondents when asked why they participated in Wikimedia Commons. |- !

Why not participate.svg|thumb|Main reasons for not participating.]] Users who stated they participated only infrequently or not at all were asked why not ({tab:survey-why-not-participate}). Our hypothesis was that the upload process (interface & policies) was too complicated, especially for users who did not speak English. In reality, 2/3 of the non-participants gave a reason related to a lack of awareness or appeal from Wikimedia Commons (they had other priorities, they were not interested or they did not even know they could participate). Only 12% or non-participants mentioned the perceived technical or legal complexity of the upload process as the major reason for not participating. It must however be emphasized that these reasons are intertwined: some respondents explained that participating in Commons was not a priority because the complexity of the upload process required a lot of time. These results show the need for a large-scale communication and outreach campaign to raise awareness and understanding about Wikimedia Commons. In order to facilitate the perennial recruitment of new participants, we suggest to hold this campaign only after significant improvements have been made to the user experience on Commons. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Distribution of the major reason chosen by the respondents when asked why they did not participate in Wikimedia Commons. |- !

A strong correlation can be established between respondents who uploaded between 10 and 100 files, and respondents whose main motivation is to illustrate Wikipedia. On the other hand, these participants care significantly less about the mission (to collect free works) or the functioning (to keep it running) of Wikimedia Commons, and rarely associate it with "having fun". A similar correlation shows for participants who uploaded between 100 and 1000 files, whose main goal is to illustrate Wikipedia and who are significantly less interested in keeping Commons running. Our proposed explanation is that participants in these two groups are mainly "Wikipedians", uploading media files to Commons on an as-needed basis, while writing or improving articles on Wikipedia. Another correlation exists between respondents who uploaded more than 10,000 files and those who identify "fun" as their main motivation. On the other hand, these highly active "Commoners" care significantly less about illustrating Wikipedia or other Wikimedia websites. === Activities & levels of participation === ==== General analysis ==== [[File:Media survey 2009 - 2. Files uploaded.svg|thumb|Distribution of respondents by amount of files uploaded to Commons.]] We asked the participants how many files they had uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, how many edits they had made there and the frequency at which they performed certain tasks. We were surprised to find that half the participants declared they had uploaded less than 10 files to Commons: this means that many Wikimedia participants upload very few media files to Commons, or even none at all. Another third occasional participants uploaded between 10 and 100 files ({tab:survey-files-uploaded}). {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Distribution of respondents by number of media files uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. |- ! Files uploaded !! Respondents !! (%) |- | less than 10 || 4698 || 50% |- | 10 to 100 || 3048 || 33% |- | 100 to 1000 || 1238 || 13% |- | 1000 to 10000 || 273 || 3% |- | more than 10000 || 93 || 1% |} ==== Correlations ==== There is a strong correlation between the frequency of upload and the number of files uploaded. While it may seems obvious for modest participants, this finding is particularly significant for highly active users, who not only contribute many media files, but do so on a regular basis. A strong correlation can also be established between the number of uploads and the number of edits. Participants who upload a lot of media files (and thus contribute the most content) are also the most active participants with regard to general maintenance activities. Last, participants who upload a high number of files are correlated to those who work significantly on categories. Our proposed explanation is that participants who upload many files are experienced users; they are familiar with the policies and guidelines of Commons, particularly the need to classify the content appropriately in order to facilitate its findability by other users. === Language & project of origin === [[File:Media survey 2009 - 6. Referrers.svg|thumb|Referrer of respondents.]] Given the multilingual and central nature of Wikimedia Commons, one of our goals was also to weigh the influence of the language and website of origin. During the survey, we recorded the HTTP referrer of all respondents and consolidated these results by language, using the ISO 639-1 code. Then, we looked for correlation between the language and the participation, in order to identify possible patterns. We integrated the number of articles in each associated language version of Wikipedia, provided by the [[Special:Statistics]] page as of May 3rd, 2010. Likelihood to participate in Commons was determined by studying the correlation between participants from each language, and participants who reported they participate in Commons "regularly", "sometimes" or "not at all". For languages not included in these results, no conclusive correlation could be established with a behavioral pattern. Three groups stood out ({tab:lang-size-participation}). Respondents coming from Wikimedia websites in Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish and Chinese language are correlated with regular participants in Wikimedia Commons. Users from projects in German, Hungarian and Vietnamese language are in a similar but less pronounced situation. On the other hand, respondents originating from a Wikimedia project in English, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish language show the opposite correlation: many of them do not participate in Wikimedia Commons. The size of Wikipedia does not seem to be a decisive factor; we suggest that policies and culture on each wiki are, in fact, mostly responsible for these differences. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Likelihood to participate in Wikimedia Commons depending on the language of origin. |- !

Own works.svg|thumb|Proportion of own works among the respondents' uploads.]] From a workflow point of view, it makes a significant difference whether users are uploading works they created themselves ("own works") or works created by other people (either relatives or strangers). If they created the work themselves and they want to share it on a Wikimedia website, they only have to choose a free license compatible with the Wikimedia licensing policy. Uploading someone else's work requires a completely different workflow, involving the possibility to check with third-party copyright holders that they actually gave permission to use their work under the specified free license. In order to gain a better understanding of these two cases, we asked the users to evaluate the proportion of own works amongst the total number of files they had uploaded. Based on preliminary analysis, we originally defined four slices: less than 10%, from 10% to 50%, from 50% to 90% and more than 90% own works ({tab:survey-own-works}). It appeared the answers were generally very similar for users in the two central groups (between 10% and 90%). The two extreme groups, however, are most significant; 39% of the participants declared they had uploaded more than 90% of own works, thus constituting a group of "Creators" (photographers, illustrators, mapmakers, etc.). 32% of the participants uploaded less than 10% of own works. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;" |+ Distribution of the proportion of own works according to the respondents. |- ! Own works !! Respondents !! Respondents (%) |- | less than 10% || 3010 || 32% |- | 10% to 50% || 1315 || 14% |- | 50% to 90% || 1399 || 15% |- | more than 90% || 3626 || 39% |} ==== Own works & upload frequency ==== A strong correlation can be established between the ratio of own works and the frequency of uploads. Participants who uploaded less than 10% of own works are also the ones who rarely upload media files at all. Similarly, there is a strong correlation between participants who uploaded between 10 and 90% of own works and those who upload new files on an occasional or a regular basis. Last, participants who uploaded more than 90% of own works are correlated to the participants who upload new files very often. ==== Own works & motivations ==== From an outreach and recruitment point of view, it is of particular interest to analyze the motivations of participants depending on their ratio of own works. For example, our initial hypothesis was that participants who uploaded less than 10% of own works would be "Wikipedians" who occasionally looked for acceptable files to illustrate their article and uploaded them to Commons. In reality, our results show there is a strong correlation between participants who uploaded less than 10% of own works and the participants motivated by fun, the collection of free works and the functioning of Commons. On the contrary, these users show a significantly lower motivation for illustrating Wikipedia. Our proposed explanation is that users who uploaded less than 10% of own works are actually "Gleaners", who look for media files of interest, under an acceptable license, and collect them on Wikimedia Commons. Similarly, we expected participants who uploaded more than 90% of own works ("Creators") to be mainly motivated by fun or the desire to share their work with the world. In reality, while there is indeed a correlation between these users and the desire to share with the world, a correlation can also be established with users whose main motivation is to illustrate Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project. These users are significantly less motivated by fun or the will to keep Commons running. "Creators" are thus not necessarily "Commoners"; a large part of them are actually "Wikipedians". === Limitations === As with any survey, there is a possibility that the respondents did not understand the intended meaning of the questions. We introduced control questions to identify and limit such misunderstandings. Also, some respondents may have misjudged their actual levels of participation. We provided links to automated tools to help them check these metrics during the questionnaire. Last, the study was originally intended to be targeted at all visitors of Wikimedia Commons, as well as all logged-in users from all Wikimedia websites. A technical glitch prevented us from targeting logged-out visitors; it therefore introduced a Wikimedia-specific bias in the analysis of why the respondents used Wikimedia Commons. This means our results focus on the "active" Wikimedian population, and further research will be necessary to better understand the "passive" users of Wikimedia Commons<ref group="Note">"Active" users are generally called "editors", or "participants", and "passive" users "readers". However, in the case of a media library, "readers" does not really apply. </ref>. == Conclusions == This study was realized as part of a research-driven design process aiming to improve the user experience while contributing multimedia content to Wikimedia websites. We showed that the nature of Wikimedia Commons made it unique, different both from popular media sharing platforms and from other Wikimedia websites. The growth of its content has been dramatically faster than the one of its community. New tools and/or processes have to be developed in order to help the community absorb the increasing inflow of new files. We presented the results of an online user survey, which showed that Commons was not very well known and used, even among Wikimedia participants: half the respondents had uploaded less than 10 files. Commons is considered by many to be only a mean to add a media file to a page on another Wikimedia project, such as an article on Wikipedia. By analyzing the correlations between the answers of the respondents, we identified several types of users, such as "Wikipedians", "Commoners", "Creators" and "Gleaners". Further research is needed to understand the influence of language on a multilingual and multicultural collaborative website like Wikimedia Commons. As the first study on this topic, and particularly on Wikimedia Commons, our research was exploratory by nature. Our results confirmed some hypotheses we made, but also clearly invalidated others. This conclusion naturally demonstrates the need for a more thorough investigation about the goals, needs and motivations of users contributing multimedia content to Wikimedia websites, or at least willing to to some extent. The online survey was only one of the venues we used to collect information about users. We also invited them to contribute to an open forum, we interviewed and observed users and we met with stakeholders and subject matter experts. We present the consolidated findings of this additional user research below, as well as the product development process and the design decisions that ensued. == Notes == <references group="Note"/> == References == <references /> == Large versions of the charts == [[File:Media survey 2009 - 1.

As a consequence, they often request changes or new features. It is important for the design team to listen to these suggestions, because they can lead to identifying the underlying issues. In other words, users are welcome to request changes or new features, but it will only really help if they indicate what problem(s) this change or feature would solve. Storytelling is a useful way to achieve this. === What do we want to know? === * {{UR interview}} How easy / difficult is it for a newcomer to participate? * {{UR survey}} {{UR interview}} What are the major hinderances to participating in Commons? * {{UR interview}} {{UR open talk}} What are the users' major frustrations with the current product? == Bibliography == * A.

Since upload.wikimedia.org holds no user secrets this is safe. * When temp uploading stable and lasts for days/weeks, then allow bulk uploads with FTP, etc. ** temporary duration of files set by configuration or policy * Licenses in the database. * Searchable by license / license characteristics * What does Toolserver do -- these are candidates for making into "real" features ** We don't really know everything that's on the Toolserver does -- survey, inventory, somehow? * See stats about how many times image viewed / full size download / trackback for used? * Queue of articles that need images or illustrations ** Failed example -- JIRA with Greenspun project ** Successful example -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphic_lab ? Move this to Commons?

They consist of field observations and interviews. == Things we want to know == * What are the users' goals? * What is the mental model of the users? How do they think the product works? * What do they like about the product? * What are their typical tasks and activities to achieve these goals? (=> scenarios / use cases) * Do they edit a lot? Upload a lot? * What is the context of use? (work, home? Place in a workflow? Environmental constraints (free license)) * What knowledge is required to achieve these goals? (not to actually use the product; e.g. free works) * How easy / difficult is it for a newcomer to participate? * What are the major hinderances to contributing media content to Wikimedia? * What are the users' major frustrations with the current upload process? == Context & sequence == Contextual inquiries will be performed in the user's usual environment (field observation), in order to cause little disruption and to observe the user as they usually interact with Commons and the upload process. Each interview should not take more than 1 to 2 hours. If human and time resources are not sufficient to collect enough data, phone interviews will be conducted, preferably coupled to a webcam. * Discuss with the user to identify their goal(s). * Ask the user to show us the complete workflow from the creation to the completed upload (or the inclusion of the work to a Wikimedia wiki page if it's their goal). * Let them show us as if they were teaching us how to do what they do. * Ask them to show us precise tasks they perform regularly. * Ask them to show us tasks they perform less often, observe the changes == Persona hypothesis == The goal of the [[:en:Persona (marketing)|persona]] hypothesis is to identify key patterns and to make sure ethnographic interviews cover all these patterns. It is mostly based on preliminary research and existing knowledge about the users. It will be refined using the results of the [[Multimedia:Initial survey|initial survey]]. The interviews will help refine or revise the personas during the [[Multimedia:Modeling|modeling]] phase. Several considerations can help identify and distinguish patterns: * '''Roles:''' The extraordinary diversity of Wikimedians, and the absence of hierarchy or technical specialization make it difficult to identify clear roles, as opposed to those that would emerge in a business environment. * '''Behavioral variables:''' both for passive users (goal when using, way of navigating) and active participants ( frequency of upload, amount of uploads, type of media files uploaded, goal when uploading). * '''Expertise:''' technical expertise (computer literacy, Internet literacy, web 2.0, wikis) and domain expertise (free licenses, local policies of wikis: description/categories, [[:m:Non-free content|Non-free content]], etc.). * '''Environment:''' location, culture, language. We can then propose a first set of hypothesized personas: * '''Agatha''' is an illustrator. She likes to contribute vector diagrams and maps on various subjects to Commons. * '''Audrey''' is an active English Wikipedian who works as a botanist. She writes many articles and occasionally adds pictures to Commons to illustrate her articles. * '''Albert''' is an active Wikipedian who works in IT. He mostly edits sci-fi articles on Wikipedia and uploads fair-use pictures from copyrighted movies and TV series. He almost never uses Commons. * '''Charles''' is an active editor at Wikisource. He scans old documents, uses OCR and proofreads them to provide plain text versions. He uses Commons as a storage place for his scans. * '''Edmond''' is a photographer who loves the idea of Commons, and wants to share his works with the rest of the world. He promotes Commons to his relatives and participates in digging up the best of Commons to make it more visible. * '''Julie''' is project manager for a middle-sized German museum. Her task is to upload 50.000 pictures of works of art to Commons to increase the visibility of her employer. * '''Hercule''' is a retired history teacher with a passion for the French revolution. He only speaks French and wants to illustrate Wikipedia articles with old documents found in archives and libraries. * '''Maurice''' is an OTRS volunteer. He knows a lot about free-works-related intellectual property laws and Commons policies. He often reviews permissions and deletes copyright violations. * '''Niles''' is a photographer and Commons enthusiast. He likes to take pictures of town halls, landscapes and buildings, and uploads them to Commons to illustrate the appropriate pages on Wikipedia. * '''Billie''' is a professional photographer. She contributes middle-resolution, high-quality pictures to Commons to increase her visibility as a photographer. * '''Nina''' is a Spanish middle-aged accountant. She can read some basic English and works on a computer. She knows Wikipedia but has never edited. However, she likes the idea of Commons and would like to participate. * '''Marilyn''' is an amateur photographer who uses other media sharing websites such as flickr. She doesn't use Commons yet but could be interested in sharing her works on Commons too. == Schedule == A call for volunteers was sent on November 18 & 19 on the [[:w:fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro/19 novembre 2009#Aidez à améliorer l'ergonomie de Commons|village pump of the French Wikipedia]], [[User:Guillom|guillom]]'s [http://www.gpaumier.fr/blog/581_aidez-a-rendre-plus-facile-lajout-dimages-sur-wikipedia/ personal blog] and social networking / microblogging platforms (identi.ca, twitter, facebook). Wikimedia France offered to relay the call on their blog, as part of [http://blog.wikimedia.fr/ameliorer-lergonomie-de-wikimedia-commons-pour-encourager-la-participation-1157 their article about the Meeting in Paris]. Interviews are planned for weeks 47 & 48 in [[:w:fr:Toulouse|Toulouse]] and [[:w:fr:Paris|Paris]]. == Notes == * [[/Adrienne|Adrienne]] * [[/Jastrow|Jastrow]] * [[/Kropotkine|Kropotkine]] * [[/Lucas|Lucas]] [[Category:Multimedia usability - Research]] [[Category:Multimedia usability - Ethnographic interviews|*]] 042gm74xjs409jaiaahs7vvtmhv2vw7 6 670 3785 2009-10-22T19:43:28Z Trevor Parscal (WMF) 3 Wireframe of LiquidThreads discussion system.

(I am a native English speaker) but the questions are not easy to understand. "Do you use..." "Do you participate ..." What is the difference? You only discover what the difference is when you reach the later questions("look for files"/"upload files"). I do not believe the answers to this survey will provide good information. John. *Similarly to John... In question G0 when I answered ''"Yes, sometimes"'' and in question G1 I answered ''"I '''<ins>look for</ins>''' media files to illustrate Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project."'', than I received question G2 ''"What is the main reason why you '''<ins>don't look for</ins>''' media files on Commons?"'' - imho it's nonsense ;/ [[User:Leinad|Leinad]] 16:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC) == Misleading survey == The banner I got stated, "Help us make it easier to add pictures to Wikipedia by taking a 2-minute survey!" The survey I took had everything to do with Commons, and nothing to do with Wikipedia. I feel very mislead by a spam that wasted my time. The distinction is clear to me "at my current level of understanding:" If it's GFDL/CC/PD I can put it on Commons, if not, I put it on Wikipedia with a Fair Use Rationale. Given that current state of understanding, I'm really concerned only with Wikipedia's "extremely messed up" process for uploading an image with a FUR. If Commons process is equally messed up, I'd never have guessed. Nonetheless, the one image I did upload to Wikipedia only left the impression, "Wow they must think I want to join the Army or something," and left zero incentive for uploading any more. In all, Wikipedia's process is so extreme, that I wouldn't bother even addressing Commons process without good reason. If you want to do a survey exclusively about "uploading to Commons" then the banner should read "Help us make it easier to add pictures to Commons by taking a 2-minute survey!". That way, you won't have soured your survey pool. Nor wasted my time. &mdash;[[User:Aladdin Sane|Aladdin Sane]] 13:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC) == The current survey is nonsense == It is asking "Why do you use?" with only positive options, and then "why do you NOT use?" forcing me to tell why I don't use it, with no option to say actually I DO use it... so I was forced to fill in some bul**it because I can not just skip this step, it requires an answer. I guess this survey will receive about 50% information and 50% bul**it, which makes it totally useless. Same goes for most questions, for instance "Do you upload the following media types rarely (– –) or very often (+ +)?". I never upload videos, but if I want a chance to access the next step of the survey, I HAVE to lie and say that I "rarely" use it. I guess this question will get 99% lies. Totally useless and irritating. Why is there no "never" column? I can't believe nobody thought about it? "What is the main reason why you don't participate in Commons?" should have an option "No, I actually participate". There are a lot of "Writing surveys for dummies" on the web such as [http://www.keene.edu/crc/forms/designingsurveysthatcount.pdf]. Cheers [[User:Nicolas1981|Nicolas1981]] 08:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC) :I agree with this in full: the survey is hopeless. Asking questions (and demanding an answer!) for a question that obviously does not apply based on previous answers is ridiculous. Can the obviously not appropriate answers be filtered out or are these going to make the entire survey meaningless? Demanding answers to "mandatory" questions is bad form in the first place IMHO: this is a voluntary project and participation in the survey is voluntary. With this in mind we have no business demanding answers from a user who chooses ''not'' to answer a particular question.

Basically we’re going to be recording both your computer screen, and your face through that camera, and then our audio conversation. Those recordings are going to be posted on the internet under Creative Commons licensing, so they’ll be available for anyone who’s interested in this research to view at least part of them. By signing here, you’re agreeing that’s okay. Also, if you initial down below, we’ll label the video with your first name. If you’d rather we didn’t, we’ll label it with a made-up name instead. Do you have any questions? Great, let’s talk a little about what were going to be doing here today. We’re collecting feedback on Wikipedia.org. Basically, I’ll ask you some questions and then watch you use the web site. The whole thing will take about 45 minutes. ==== Set up ==== Your job is really easy, you just have to be yourself and act as you naturally would. I did not design this website, and I don’t actually work directly for Wikipedia, I’m just collecting feedback, so I promise, nothing you say could hurt my feelings! As you use the site, please be honest with your positive and negative thoughts. There are no right or wrong answers. You are not being tested; the Wikipedia webpage is being tested. ==== Background Questions ==== So let’s get started with a few quick background questions. What was it you were doing on Wikipedia when you filled out the survey a few weeks ago? You said you come to Wikipedia XXX often. What are you usually looking up/doing? How has your experience been in the past? (Non-editors) You mentioned that you haven’t edited Wikipedia before, but you’d be willing to. What are the reasons that you haven’t in the past? Can you tell me what you know now about the process of editing? (Editors) You mentioned that you have contributed to Wikipedia before. Please tell us about those experiences. Can you tell me what you know now about the process of editing? ==== Roles + Think Aloud ==== Next I’d like to have you go on Wikipedia to do a couple of tasks. There’s one thing that I would like you to do differently. Please think aloud as you use the web site today. For example, if you are reading something read it out loud and feel free to say anything that comes to your mind as you read - for example that’s interesting or what in the world are they talking about? Also, talk out loud while you’re doing a task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing. (e.g.: Now I’m going to try to use the search engine) And, if you get to a point where you would naturally stop working, let me know. I’ll let you decide your task is complete, whether you find what you are looking for or not. Just tell me when you’re finished. Were going to be focusing on navigating through the website and making changes to Wikipedia entries. For the tasks that we’re going to do, we will be previewing your changes but for most of the time we won’t be permanently saving your changes (note: we will walk them through that if necessary) Do you have any questions before we continue? Okay, let’s go to the Wikipedia website. Does this all look pretty much how you’re used to it? Let’s go ahead and log in. == Tasks (10-15 min each) == ==== Personal Content ==== Let’s go ahead and visit the page you were looking at when you filled out the survey for this interview. Go ahead and continue doing that, or walk me through how you were doing that… (Alternatively: Hometown; Favorite sports team, movie, singer, actor; Last meal you had/book you read; College or University you attended.) If you wanted to add a paragraph of info to this page, how would you do that? Go ahead and show me. (Steer towards making a change in the lower part of the article, to see if they use the ToC. Pre-fab sentence to give user if they don’t know what to add: Free knowledge for everyone on the planet. If necessary, show them how to preview and cancel their changes instead of saving them here, and continue to do this throughout as needed, as we don't want to save any changes!) Great, let’s go back up to the top and take a look at that. (Do they use the ToC to get there?) Is that something you think you might do? Why/why not? What other types of things might you want to edit? Why? (fix typo, add section, add reference, add comment on discussion page…) How did you feel about that process? How was that process? What do you think about the way this is all laid out (the text, the navigation, and the other elements on the edit page)? How’s the information on this page? What information would you expect to be there? What information do you actually see there? Why do you think this information is here? During this process, probing more deeply on: overall toolbar, help. What about this section over here on the right (table of contents), what is it for? (Observe interaction with abbreviated headings and text position when using ToC to navigate.) Please go to the discussion page for this article. Have you ever read, used or contributed to a discussion page for a Wikipedia article? (if yes) Please tell me about that. ==== Formatted Content ==== Let’s go ahead and go to another entry on Wikipedia. You can choose whatever’s interesting to you. Alternatively: Hometown; Favorite sports team, movie, singer, actor; Last meal you had/book you read; College or University you attended. Let’s say you wanted to add some information here from another source, say a document on your computer or in this case, another website. (Let user choose if there's something they would like to add. Help them come up with examples. How would you go about doing that? Is that something you would do? Why/why not? How was that process? (if user doesn't mention References) Did you see the section about references? Would you add a reference from your text to the XX site? Why/why not? Go ahead and show me how you would do that. (if user doesn’t mention External Links) Did you see the section about external links? Would you also add the CC site to the external links? Why/why not? Go ahead and show me how you would do that. Note: if there is not a 'References' or 'External Links' on the Wikipedia entry that the user is viewing, direct them to the entry for “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” Let's say you wanted to link to another Wikipedia article from within this article (called internal linking). How would you go about doing that? Is that something you would do? Why or why not? Let’s give it a try. … Great, thanks! (If this attempt was for an article that exists, add another one that doesn’t, or vice versa. Observe whether user is aware of and correctly interprets the icon to the right of the field.) How was that process? Great, thanks so much for trying that! There’s one more thing I’d like to try here, if you don’t mind. Let’s see if we can add a table. How do you think you would do that? ==== Editing a Page that uses a template ==== (If doesn't happen on homewtown or other page): Let’s go ahead and take a look at the Wikipedia page on San Francisco, CA. If you wanted to edit just the 'Transportation' section here, how would you go about doing that? If you wanted to add a new section here, how would you go about doing that? Transportation section (hand user printed instructions): *Create a new section, call it “Bridges” * Include this text under the section heading: =====Golden Gate Bridge===== =====San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge===== *Save your changes * Then, above this text at the top of the section, please add the following: See also: Golden Gate Bridge and link 'Golden Gate Bridge' to the Wikipedia entry on the Golden Gate Bridge. (Make sure they know to make ‘bridge’ bold and ‘see also’ italicized) How was that experience? Let’s say you moved to San Francisco and wanted to change the population field to be one greater. How would you do that? (Point out where this information is on the actual entry if necessary). Let’s say you wanted to add San Francisco's motto to the page. How would you do that? How do you feel about all that? What do you think about all the stuff that’s on this (edit) page? == Looking Back (5 minutes ) == ==== General (Navigation, Instructions, Help) ==== What do you think of everything you've seen and used? ==== Summaries (Likes + Dislikes) ==== What might encourage or increase your participation on Wikipedia.org? Is there anything that you would want to see changed/done differently on the Wikipedia website? Particularly related to the tasks you completed today? If so explain. Any other likes or dislikes that you’d like to mention? Anything else you’d like to share with me or ask me? Would it be okay for us to contact you if we have any follow up questions or information? === Incentive and future contact === Well [participant name] that does it for us. Here’s your $75 Amazon gift certificate. Again, thanks so much for coming in and talking to us- it’s really useful for our research!

Thanks for your help. --[[User:Mephiles602|Mephiles602]] 20:13, 6 November 2009 (UTC) == Neues Wikipedia-Interface == Hallo Juxn, dein konkreter Vorschlag für ein neues Wikipedia-Interface gefällt mir verdammt gut. Es muß diesbezüglich dringend eine Erneuerung geben und deine Demonstration schlägt auf jeden Fall den richtigen Weg ein. Allerdings möchte ich noch einige Punkte anmerken. Beispielsweise bin ich mir unsicher ob der Breite die für den eigentlichen Artikelinhalt nicht etwas zu schmal ist. Wenn beispielsweise noch eine der recht häufig verwendeten Infoboxen eingebunden werden soll bleibt neben den beiden Menüleisten am linken und rechten Rand kaum noch Platz für den Text des Artikels. Was ist mit den Interwikilinks? Die konnte ich in deiner Demonstration nirgendwo finden. Gut gefällt mir vor allem das Kontext-Menü. Sehe ich es aber richtig dass hier Flash eingesetzt wurde? Das halte ich dann wiederum für problematisch. Was ich zudem bei der bisherigen Software vermisse ist die Möglichkeit den Text, zumindest als angemeldeter Benutzer, direkt anklicken und bearbeiten zu können ohne mich wegen einem Tippfehler durch ganzen Quelltext suchen zu müssen, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines kleinen Dropdown-Editors o.ä. Besonders hilfreich könnte sowas beispielsweise bei Tabellen sein, aber auch bei Referenz-Änderungen oder längeren Absätzen.

Die Spaltenbreite ist tatsächlich ein schwieriges nicht eindeutiges Feld. Ja, das Kontextmenü ist (zumindest für meinen Prototyp) in Flasg gemacht. Das würde so natürlich nicht gehen. Aber man könnte es sicherlich auch anderes realisieren. Mit WYSIWYG sprichst du einen weiteren Punkt an den ich in meiner Arbeit erstmal außer Acht gelassen hab. Aber ich gebe dir Recht, das wäre absolut wünschenswert! Gruß,--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 19:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Bei der festen Breite bin ich auch skeptisch. Die Schriftgröße ist ja nicht fest und die Auflösung der Ausgabegeräte unterschiedlich. Sind einem die Zeilen zu lang, kann man bei variabler Breite einfach das Fenster kleiner ziehen.

These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis.

(Be bold and creative) *Enhance Commons *3rd Party front-end sites *Client programs (like Commonist or Flickr Uploader) ===FlickrBot 2.0=== Create a bot that allows a users to upload an entire photostream from Flickr to Commons. Allow searching Flickr by: User, Group, Set, Pool Automatically populated categories, titles, etc. from the Flickr info. Allow user to browse the images and choose which ones are good for uploading before they are passed to the upload script. Use duplicate checking. Could be implemented by combining Multichill's pywiki FlickrBot for pulling files from photostreams with MM's FlickBot for uploading them to Commons. ===Commons Helper 2.0=== New version of Commons Helper that will be developed by Mangus. Problem with old Commons Helper: Translating Wikipedida specific templates to Commons templates. Solution: Use script to create parse tree from remote template and then construct new Commons template from the parse tree. ===Staging server=== Set up a server to house files to be organized before they are pushed to Commons. This server would also host custom uploading interfaces taylored to specific users/institutes. * Make uploading easier: **FTP **Drag and Drop **Flash multi-file uploading * File format for mass upload description data and structured information ** This may depend on having clean structured license metadata! * Allow creation of role accounts for institution representatives, contenst participants, etc. * Feedback opportunity for Wikimedia users in the Staging Area regarding the Previews * Report Sheet: Number of images, number of images used, number of page views * Generic Reports on single images * Reports for Groups, set of images * Capacity planning for server and storage deployment as mass uploads increase * Allowing and Creating Role Accounts for Mass uploads * Reporting and exporting of changes back to the GLAM * Clickthrough statistics for links clicked to the GLAM institutions * Export images to Flickr * Implement institution specific templates == Solutions analysis == '''What are the advantages and drawbacks of these solutions?'''

Пример из тестовой статьи http://ru.great.wikia.com/wiki/Zinc ]] Скрипт, реализующий «научные» ссылки вида [Иванов, 2009] взамен ссылок «ref». == Разметка научных ссылок == ===Формат ссылок=== Чтобы сделать ссылку, нужно написать произвольный текст в квадратных скобках, например: <tt>[[File:SciRefs_leftbr.png]]Иванов, 2009[[File:SciRefs_rightbr.png]]</tt> Можно использовать цифровые ссылки (тогда они будут выглядеть как обычные википедийные), но рекомендуется указать фамилию автора и год издания. ===Цель (якорь) ссылки=== [[File:SciRefs src_a.png|thumb|right|300px|Текст ссылки-якоря в разделе библиографии. Выделенный (подсвеченный) текст показывает саму ссылку-якорь, остальное содержимое не имеет значения.]] Цель (якорь) для ссылки оформляется так: <tt>[[File:SciRefs_leftbr.png]]*Иванов, 2009[[File:SciRefs_rightbr.png]]</tt> В ссылку-якорь, по сравнению с обычной ссылкой, надо добавить звездочку в начало ссылки сразу после открывающей квадратной скобки. Воспроизвести её во всех остальных символах нужно точно. ===Ссылки на страницы книги=== Символ | (вертикальная черта) имеет специальное значение и предназначен для описания ссылок на номера страниц, например: [[File:SciRefs_leftbr.png]]Иванов, 2009|стр. 256[[File:SciRefs_rightbr.png]]. Это можно использовать, если нужен ряд ссылок на разные страницы или главы одной и той же книги. В «якорях» ссылок эта разметка не применяется. Текст после символа вертикальной черты | может быть любым. == Результат == [[File:SciRefs bkrefs.png|305px|thumb|left|Вид статьи при запущенном скрипте SciRefs. Желтым цветом отмечена ссылка, с которой был сделан переход; серым цветом - ссылки на эту же книгу; голубым цветом подсвечена запись в списке книг, на которую был сделан переход.]] Если скрипт правильно установлен, и он выполнился (в Internet Explorer это происходит с небольшой задержкой), то ссылки будут преобразованы в верхний индекс, а щелчок по ссылке будет приводить читателя на «якорь», абзац рядом с которым при этом окрасится в голубой цвет (как показано на изображении слева). [[File:SciRefs nojs.png|thumb|right150px|Вид разметки при отключённом скрипте.]] Желая перейти обратно, читатель должен нажать кнопку «Назад» в браузере — при этом ссылка, с которой он осуществил переход, будет подсвечена жёлтым цветом. Если при написании ссылок допущена какая-либо ошибка (или отсутствует ссылка-«цель»), то ссылка не будет преобразована (останется «как есть»). Если что-то не сработало, или пользователь отключил у себя [[JavaScript]], то текст ссылок будет выглядеть, как показано на изображении справа. == Преимущества перед ссылками ref == * Исходный текст статьи не загромождается ссылками на литературу. * Разметка проще и понятнее для редактора, который привык к обычным научным статьям. * Нет проблемы со ссылками на номера страниц в книге (ссылки с разными номерами страниц будут вести на одну и ту же книгу). * Можно делать вложенные «ссылки из ссылки» сколько угодно раз, расположить библиографию по разделам, расположить её по любому принципу. * Скрипт подсвечивает место обратного перехода, при этом работает обычная кнопка «Назад» браузера (не надо прицеливаться в мелкие ссылки). * Обратная совместимость со всей вики-разметкой. Можно использовать примечания (теги ref) из ссылок или ссылки из примечаний. * Текст статьи становится нейтральнее (изложение со слов третьих лиц) по сравнению с цифровой разметкой сносок. Но цифрами сноски оформить тоже можно. == Работающие примеры научной разметки == Ниже приведены ссылки на вики-проект, где уже установлены нужные скрипты, и можно оценить готовый результат, который увидит читатель статьи. * По этой ссылке http://ru.great.wikia.com/wiki/Zinc приведена копия нескольких абзацев избранной статьи «Цинк» ([[:en:Zync]]) английского раздела с научными ссылками.

Цель - обратная совместимость со статьями, которые могут содержать похожие последовательности символов для других целей. == Исходный текст скрипта == [http://ru.great.wikia.com/index.php?title=SciRefs.js&action=edit] == Установка == Вписать в файл [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] (для всех пользователей вики-проекта) или в свой персональный файл [[Special:MyPage/monobook.js|<tt>Monobook.js</tt>]] строку: <tt>importScript('Участник:X-romix/SciRefs.js');</tt> Данный скрипт под указанным именем должен быть загружен в ваш вики-проект. == См. также == * [[More convenient replacement for the tag "ref"]] - Описание на английском языке * [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&action=historysubmit&diff=324166309&oldid=324123004] Мнение основателя Википедии Jimbo Wales.

FIRST, upload the image. THEN, say whether it's your own work or not. If it's their own work, don't give them a lecture on copyright law. If it isn't, use a series of simple questions and answers to determine whether it can be uploaded, and what its appropriate license is. At each point, try to avoid overloading the user. * (Andrew) Use proper fields for structured data (dates, unexplained "Permission:" field, "Other versions". * Fix the OTRS permissions approval process, it's strange and mysterious. * "Quarantine" section for copyright clearance. lower barrier to upload images and let people check it. * (Brion:) "Red label" warnings when using images that aren't fully cleared yet * Combination of instant gratification + clear way to have people find and fix things after == wiki way * If uploading from Wikipedia have it directly send to commons when you click the "own work" check box. * (Ariel) This can be a problem when the photo is fair use because of the contents (eg image of a building where there is no freedom of parnorama in that country) * Inline upload form via add media wizard on edit page [in progress - mdale] * Integrate CommonSense deeper into the upload mechanism * Upload file *first*, extract EXIF metadata, *then* ask for more details from user * Copyright questions mainly for third-party sourced images, which usually come from web. URL source and any copy metadata in the file are excellent sources of info without bugging the user. * World-wide PD calculator that interprets the place/date info to determine PD status of an image * "Report copyright problem" button for one-click directing things to admin attention queue * Add the ability to upload multiple files from a "batch" (sharing licensing and source information if appropriate, but not descriptions and other metadata). * Add a new option for importing images cross-wiki rather than the fun image moving bots we use now.

Problems * When reuse occurs, attribution etc does not occur properly. * No programmatic way in MediaWiki to present the licensing information/attribution info. We can provide the description pages via the API * Some way of resolving issues with moved or deleted images. * Some images are deleted when they are replaced in another format. * Issues with what license the file is under, GFDL requires the entire text of the GFDL in the license. * What size image do we embed? Similar examples * Wikimedia UK has an on-hover text system for its blog for its blog . * Example given: Dutch government (Kennisnet) allows students to make websites. * The images at [http://www.wdl.org/en/item/74/ wdl] have a nice share this button Proposals * Reuse HTML/facebook/blog/forum code generator, that allows selection of an individual image, and generates appropriate HTML with proper attribution. We can only do this for appropriately licensed images. * Perhaps already exists, but needs fixing. * Distinguishing between reuse and sharing. * Need to allow the user to select the size. * Adds EXIF data. * Note in the EXIF data that it came from commons, with all metadata (author, license, ...). * Plugins for embedding media in popular CMS systems, which allow correct reuse of commons images (à la InstantCommons). * WordPress, Drupal, WordPress, twitter, Moodle * Just a plain Flickr-like "Share this" link to grab HTML to embed the object * Some sort of tracking of reuse is a good idea. * Extension of GlobalUsage?

This is easier than driving by in a black mercedes and grabbing a hard drive. * Some of the problems will be metadata in random formats, and require manual munging. * Three possibilities: museums that have staff, and can upload the content themselves; those that have e.g. a well structured website that we can extract metadata from; those that have never published, and don't have organized information. Need to capture all three. * Different projects: GLAM web interface, scraping tools and libraries, and an organised effort to get GLAMs involved with the system. * Some mechanism for allowing uploads of all kinds of files, and to convert them to Wikimedia formats. * Work with Internet Archive to pass on huge (50T) files, with GLAMs. * Use of role accounts.

See explanations below. == Commons Main Page == [[File:Commons_main_page_project_Paris_2009.jpg|800px|thumb|center|Project of the main page of Commons]] [[File:Commons 2010 wireframe 1.png|800px|thumb|center|Associated wireframes]] This mock-up presumes a revised skin with a widescreen mode, where the current sidebar is collapsed by default and can be expanded by clicking a slider on the left-hand side. The language links are collapsed into a single drop-down. The objective here is to significantly reduce the information overload on the frontpage, and to feature compelling and relevant content and entrypoints. The top-left rectangle represents a dynamic gallery (advancing from one slide to the next after a certain number of seconds), which could feature various types of high quality content every day: * a featured photograph * a featured illustration * a featured sound file * a featured video * a featured restoration * a "valued image" etc. To the right are high-visibility entry points for the two primary types of engagements with Wikimedia Commons: searching media, or sharing files. We propose that the search be improved to autocomplete on category names even if no category namespace is specified. The "Our Mission" button would lead to a friendly and compellingly designed portal page explaining the mission of Wikimedia Commons in terms of its social and cultural image, again using beautiful examples to illustrate the page. The exact order of the three buttons is still to be determined. The bottom row of boxes, under the heading "Discover Wikimedia Commons" is used as follows: * Cultural Treasures: Featuring cultural partnerships by highlighting objects of high value and linking to the partnership page * Our Community / Our World: Linking to pages like "Meet our photographers", perhaps showcasing community members * Explore: Category tree (we need a nicer widget for this), explore by map, featured categories, etc. == Media description page == [[File:Commons_picture_description_page_project_Paris_2009.jpg|thmub|800px|center|Project of the typical picture description page on Commons]] This mock-up presents a revised media description page, again in widescreen mode. Caption and media content are presented closely together as they are the most relevant information on the page. It may be desirable to either automatically determine reasonable screen real estate usage for the caption and media file, or to allow the user to drag the caption (resize or move to the right). Our objective is to provide a user experience that suits different needs (focus on description, focus on media content). It may be desirable to have a single "View settings" button that makes it possible to switch between different modes (with caption, without caption, full-screen slideshow, etc.). We discussed that it would be desirable to view all media files associated with a page (directly or indirectly) through a single pop-up gallery widget, as is common on many websites, rather than requiring users to manually click through to each media description page. :Check [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Magnus_Manske/commons_siblings.js some JS] of mine that [http://toolserver.org/~magnus/file_siblings.php?language=commons&project=wikimedia&sort_by_date=0&sib_cat=1&sib_gal=1&mode=json&file=Glaciers_and_Icebergs_at_Cape_York.jpg uses the toolserver] to show "related" Commons images on de.wikipedia. --[[User:Magnus Manske|Magnus Manske]] 16:10, 7 November 2009 (UTC) [[Category:Multimedia meeting in Paris]] bvt27l55bujhznrsi6wtqmyxbdnl0cb 100 769 5498 4980 2010-01-22T18:27:30Z Guillom 13 +link 5498 wikitext text/x-wiki See also [[Multimedia:Metrics]]. == Major issues == '''What are the major issues related to this topic?''' * ''We have only very limited metrics'' Reasons to have metrics: * data to design or improve MW * statistic indicators to measure progress * communication / outreach / relationships with GLAMs == Currently available statistics == '''What are the existing tools or workarounds used to circumvent these issues?''' * http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/ * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:MIME_type_statistics * http://toolserver.org/~bryan/stats/ ** Graph: <http://toolserver.org/~bryan/stats/commons_upload_deletion_ratio_monthly.png ** Text data: <http://toolserver.org/~bryan/stats/commons_upload_deletion_ratio_monthly.txt * http://stats.grok.se * http://wikistics.falsikon.de/ * http://www.trendingtopics.org/ * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Template_i18n/Interface_language_statistics * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill/Categorization_stats * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill/Commonscat_stats == Other possible solutions == '''What other solutions could be used to circumvent these issues?'''

There is more detailed information on the following as well: * [[Beta_Feedback_Survey/Reason for Leaving | Reasons for leaving]] * [[Beta_Feedback_Survey/What Users Liked | What users liked]] * [[Beta_Feedback_Survey/Retention Rates by Browser | Retention rates by browser]] * [[Beta_Feedback_Survey/User Comments | User Comments]] The data presented here was collected from August 8 to October 29, 2009. ==Background== The Usability Beta is currently conducting two feedback surveys: # '''Feedback Survey''': The feedback survey allows users to give general feedback about the Beta program. There are a series of multiple-choice questions as well as open ended questions around likes/dislikes about the Beta, usage of features, etc. # '''Opt-out Survey''': When a user elects to opt-out of the Beta, there is an optional survey they can fill out upon exiting. The questions are the same as those in the Feedback Survey, but also include specific questions about reasons for leaving the Beta. In addition to capturing the user feedback, the survey also logs the browser, OS, and screen resolution used by the participant.

We are investigating the data and will update once we know more.'' * April ended with a total of 698,018 users having tried the Beta. * The cumulative retention rate across all projects decreased slightly to 79.9% as of April 30. [[File:Usability_retention_apr_2010.jpg]] == Update: March 31, 2010 == March ended with a total of 635,942 users having tried the Beta. * Approximately 64,400 additional users tried the Beta in March. * The cumulative retention rate across all projects increased slightly to 80.0% as of March 31. [[File:Beta_retention_march.jpg]] == Update: February 28, 2010 == February ended with a total of 571,579 users having tried the Beta. * Approximately 59,100 additional users tried the Beta in February. This number is down slightly, even considering the fact that February is a shorter month. * The cumulative retention rate across all projects held steady at 79.8% as of February 28. [[File: Beta_retention_february.jpg]] === Individual Projects: February Retention and Trends === In Feb 2010, the incremental retention was 80.4%. This is down slightly from Jan 2009, where the incremental retention was 81.5% * enwiki retention was down slightly (83.2% in Feb vs. 84.3% in Jan). Cumulative retention for enwiki was 83.6% as of Jan. * dewiki retention was down slightly (72.6% in Feb vs. 75.1% in Jan). Cumlulative retention for dewiki was 72.2% as of Jan. * jawiki retention was down slightly (71.5% vs. 72.1% in Jan). Cumulative retention for jawiki was 62.9% as of Jan. * kowiki retention is still low (57.9% vs. 64.1% in Jan). Cumulative retention was 58.5% as of Jan. [[File: Beta_february_2010_incremental.jpg]] == Update: January 31, 2010 == January ended with a total of 512,462 users having tried the Beta. * Approximately 70,500 additional users tried the Beta in January. * The cumulative retention rate across all projects was 79.8% as of January 31. [[File: Beta_retention_january_2010.jpg]] === Individual Projects: January Retention and Trends === In Jan 2010, the incremental retention was 81.5%. This is down slightly from Dec 2009, where the incremental retention was 82.4% * enwiki retention was down slightly (84.3% in Jan vs 85.6% in Dec). Cumulative retention for enwiki was 83.6% as of Jan. * dewiki retention was up slightly (75.1% in Jan vs. 74.1% in Dec). Cumlulative retention for dewiki was 72.1% as of Jan. * jawiki retention in Jan 2010 appears to have increased (72.1% in Jan vs. 64.9% in Dec). Cumulative retention for jawiki was 62.0% as of Jan. * Kowiki retention is still low (64.1% in Jan vs 63.2% in Dec). Cumulative retention was 58.6% as of Jan. [[File: Beta_january_incremental_retention.jpg]] == End of Year Update (as of December 31, 2009) == The following is an year-end update for the Usability Initiative. Overall, usage of the the Beta has been continuing to increase and retention rate continues to inch upwards. === Snapshot as of December 31, 2009 === * A total of 441,756 users have tried the beta. In December, approximately 79,000 users joined the beta. * The cumulative retention rate, across all projects, is 79.5% (vs. 78% at the end of October) * Most of the beta users come from the top 20 projects, which account for approximately 89% of the beta users. '''Cumulative Retention Rates:''' [[File:Beta_retention_year_end.jpg]] === Individual Projects: December Retention and Trends === * enwiki, which has the largest beta usage, has a cumulative retention rate of 83.5%. Retention for enwiki has been rising steadily, with retention rate for the month of December at 85.5% (vs. 82.4% prior to Sep 12). Note: The Sep 12 date does not have any particular significance other than it's the date we ran the report. We will try to republish the data with more standard time periods (e.g., beginning of the month) * dewiki has stayed strong. The December retention rate for dewiki was 74.3%. Dewiki retention was 69.7% prior to Sep 12 and has been hovering in the mid-70s ever since). * jawiki is retention is still lagging at 64.9% for December. It looks like the retention may have improved over the last 2 months, but there is a lot of noise in the data, so we cannot be certain. While we would like to say that the font size change affected retention, we cannot conclude this because of the noise. * kowiki is lagging as well, with a cumulative 58.0% retention, though the number of beta users is still relatively low (3,371 have opted into the Beta as of Dec 31). * plwiki, which had an issue with gadget compatibility, has improved quite a bit. Its December retention was 75.8%. Prior to Sep 12, its retention rate was 65.3%. '''December 2009 Retention Rates:''' [[File:Incremental_retention_rate_december.jpg]] The detail behind the updated retention analysis, including both cumulative rates as well as incremental rates (e.g., rates for the month of December) may be found [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aikdcg5HdSKbdDVMM2l2SGM2dUtBU25MLUtTMFEwMFE&hl=en here]. Previous retention analysis may also be found [[Beta Feedback Survey|here]]. ==Previous Summary (as of November 30, 2009)== The following table lists the retention rates for the Usability Beta with the top 10 highly accessed language Wikipedias broken out: [[File:Beta_retention_1dec09.jpg]] The entire list of retention rates for all language wikis is located [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aikdcg5HdSKbdDVMM2l2SGM2dUtBU25MLUtTMFEwMFE&hl=en here]. A couple points: # Almost 380,000 users have opted into the Beta since the start of the program with an overall retention of about 79% (vector - the retention rates cited will all be for vector retention) as of November 30, 2009. # The retention rate for enwiki is strong (83%). # Several wikis in the top 10 have retentions below the average. Most notably, jawiki and plwiki have retention rates under 70%. '''Analysis of Language Wikis with Low Retention''' We did a review of the user comments submitted as part of the survey. Because of the volume of comments was very high, we were unable to do a quantitative review of the comments. Rather, we looked for general patterns that might help us understand why certain language wikis had a lower retention rate. Here’s what came out of the data: * '''jawiki:''' Many jawiki users noted that the font size in the Beta was too small. We confirmed this with Firefox and IE. There were also a number of comments on the layout (e.g., users not used to the location of the search box, users liked/did not like the new layout), but the most common comment by far was that the font size was too small. * '''dewiki:''' Unlike jawiki, there wasn’t one particular comment that seemed to appear significantly more frequently than others. In comparison with the users of other language wikis, it does appear that dewiki users are having a more difficult time adjusting to the new location of the search box. Other frequent comments included: like/dislike new layout and/or colors, beta seemed slow, spacing issues in tabs for long German words. :* Another potential contributor to the lower retention rate for dewiki users is the number of IE6 users. These users had a much lower retention rate than average dewiki user (60% for IE6 vs. 70% average). The effect of IE6, however is limited since IE6 users comprised only about 3% of the dewiki users who completed the survey. * '''zhwiki:''' Users of zhwiki noted a few issues: :* Traditional vs. Simplified Chinese: Some users mentioned that the Beta showed only Simplified characters, even when they tried to switch to Traditional characters. :* Slow: Some users mentioned that the beta was "slow." :* Font size too small: Like users of jawiki, some users of zhwiki complained that the font size was too small. Regarding '''plwiki,''' we found that the Beta was not compatible with the refTools gadget. Starting September 29, this gadget was made compatible with the Beta, so we hope that the plwiki retention rate will be higher in the future.

The overall retention for zhwiki, however, is about average at 77%. * '''ruwiki''' and "Did not like the way it looked." The overall retention for ruwiki was also about average at 79%. * '''plwiki''' and "Did not like the new toolbar." This may have been caused by the interoperability with refTool. * '''jawiki''' and "Too hard to use." * '''dewiki''' and '''plwiki''' and "did not like the new tabs and layout." For dewiki, this may be because longer German words caused spacing issues with the tabs. This issues should be fixed with the upcoming cascading tabs feature. * '''jawiki''' and '''zhwiki''' and "Did not function predictably."

The first commenter here? OK, I'll take a chance. So glad you are using newbies in your tests. I bought a BOOK on Wikipedia ("How Wikipedia Works") and consider myself a PC user of moderate expertise after 25 years or so. But I find the non-WYSIWYG editing/article creation interface as daunting as no doubt many do. If this ever expands to an online focus group, I'd LOVE to be part of it, as a frequent Wikipedia USER, but VERY infrequent writer/editor, despite my intense desire to do so. It all reminds me of the arcane, early Word Perfect circa '80s "you need a keyboard color-coded gude to know what you're doing" situation. True user-friendliness would bring a tidal wave of contributors - good, bad and ... well, I know that I just read that article about the 'inclusionists' war. Maybe Wikipedia would create levels or areas of various loose/tight filtering - public vs. professional. Segmented doesn't have to mean confining - it could be freeing! Good luck and again, I'm one of those folks who, along with time constraints, just find Wikipedia's ~ and curly-q standards foreboding and forbidding. I'd love for it to have a 'command line" interface for the pros, and a true WYSIWYG system for the rest of us - even if it means the tradeoff is fewer power-user options for us who wouldn't use them anyway;-) -- [[User:Barney Lerten|Barney Lerten]] 26 December 2009 (UTC) - (My name somehow got deleted in the additions to this page, so have restored it with a few added thoughts) :Hello. I'm also a user at Wikipedia. I found it very easy to understand MediaWiki's wiki syntax (because I'm a technical person), but very difficult to understand Wikipedia's pages and pages of rules. Even after all these years, I still can't understand all of them, but I've sort of got the gist of the basic stuff. --[[User:Mephiles602|Mephiles602]] 09:37, 15 November 2009 (UTC) :Thanks for your support. It is amazing that every new user we interview, we find some new page, some new rule, some new message that we (staff memebers) had not previously seen! We are definitely being cautious about the way we are approaching "lowering the bar" for the many types of contributors and potential contributors - mostly trying to work on that "foreboding and forbidding" part before anything else. --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 00:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC) == WYSIWYG - Yes == I use mediawiki software, v1.11 I think, with the FCK_Editor. I tried making it work with 1.15 and was defeated. Now, I don't have alot of time to work on this. But wouldn't a WYSIWYG the first usability feature you would think of? And since FCK_Editor (or whatever they've changed their name to) has been around for years, isn't it a natural choice for a higher level of productization for this project? Whether you use FCK or not, get into the 21st Century and implement this. :I think everyone agrees, that a WYSIWYG would be awesome. But technical difficulties caused by WYSIWIG plus Wiki-Syntax are really huge. See the FCK Editor for example, which already exists for some time, but is still not a 100% convenient editor. That's one reason, why the usability initiative focuses on minor changes with high usability impact, that can be done within the project scope.--[[User:Juxn|Juxn]] 09:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC) 7otbwotdicxkqnljo6bauweae1l3i4e 2 789 4620 2009-11-15T18:45:54Z Trivelt 1296 Created page with ''''[[meta:User:Trivelt|Trivelt @ meta]]'''' 4620 wikitext text/x-wiki '''[[meta:User:Trivelt|Trivelt @ meta]]''' gu72pu5mjonnrhjnjystlnwbvx87s0y 2 792 5429 5428 2010-01-19T15:15:45Z Notafish 299 5429 wikitext text/x-wiki {{DISPLAYTITLE:User:notafish}} [[meta:User:notafish]] Delphine Ménard bc3j4i8e3u3jsilisv2hiu9dbzadasn 0 793 8604 7546 2010-07-29T12:40:31Z Nemo bis 9 cat 8604 wikitext text/x-wiki Here are the user comments from the Beta Survey.

And they have to wait for each picture to upload. * People who upload their own work and just want to share their pictures on Wikipedia are asked to decide things like what license to use. At the same time, we have to make sure people understand what rights they keep and what rights they give away. * The permissions process is too complicated; acceptable images are deleted because of badly worded e-mails. * The software doesn't extract relevant metadata from files (e.g. EXIF), nor does it provide category suggestions. * It is not possible to upload a new version of a file using another file extension. * The "simple" upload form is too verbose and complicated; it mixes an upload form and a complete tutorial. * The upload form provides too many fields and the buttons at the bottom are unneeded for most users. * When preparing a mass upload, there is no cross-platform tool to store the metadata, descriptions etc. offline. * Adding pictures takes a lot of time; this hinders the participation. == Using and reusing content == * Some local wikis use a template with a picture to show audio files, but clicking the picture doesn't play the file. * It is currently not possible to download downsized versions of high-resolution files for people who have small bandwidth. * Linking commons image to facebook does not show any preview; see [http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=416&hloc=en_US Facebook guidelines]. == Searching, finding and exploring content == * Commons is full of low quality content and there is no quality control * There is duplicate content. * Categories are only available in English; it is difficult to use them for people who can't read/write English. * Galleries vs. categories: duplicate? * When using the search feature, it is impractical to have only a few thumbnails (and their associated text). If the user is looking for media files, we should display media files. * When browsing categories, it is extremely cumbersome to have to browse through all subcategories to explore the content. [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php CatScan] * Our category system discourages inexperienced users and is overall very inefficient. == Crosswiki integration == * Moving files from a Wikimedia project to Commons is difficult. * Moving files from a Wikimedia project to Commons removes the files from the uploader's (and possibly other people's) watchlist. * When a file is moved to Commons with a different name, the old name doesn't work any more. == Maintenance == * Proposing files to deletion or reporting copyvios is too complicated. * When on a file description page mirrored from Commons on a local wiki, it is annoying and unsettling for the user to have to go to Commons, a separate website. == Feature requests == This section contains feature requests for which no associated issues could be identified. * social tagging: allow a public per-user tags * allow tagging and search by tags into large "super-categories" [[Category:Multimedia usability - Research]] 7ar5afeoyflcr4y89lqip96gtac0qv8 2 823 4895 2009-12-06T04:50:27Z Arseny1992 1276 Created page with '<div style="float:left; border:1px solid #bbb; margin:1px;" class="wikipediauserbox"> {| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px; background:#f6f6f6;" ! style="width:45px; height:45px...' 4895 wikitext text/x-wiki <div style="float:left; border:1px solid #bbb; margin:1px;" class="wikipediauserbox"> {| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px; background:#f6f6f6;" ! style="width:45px; height:45px; background:#fff; text-align:center; font-size:14pt; color:black; padding:1px; line-height:1.25em; vertical-align: middle; " | [[Image:Wikimedia logo family complete.svg|50px]] | style="text-align:left; font-size:8pt; padding:4px; height:45px; line-height:1.25em; color:black; vertical-align: middle; " | <span class="plainlinks">[http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Arseny1992 This user]</span> has created a [[:m:Help:Unified login|global account]].

I am awarding this barnstar to you for your involvement in building this usability wiki from early stage and bringing in constructive feedback. Looking forward to working with you more. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] 02:54, 8 December 2009 (UTC) == Multimedia usability pages == hi and thank you for your edits. However, I would like to ask you to not move pages by copy/pasting their content. This violates the license because original authors are not credited. Also, while I can understand the rationale for having one central page, the pages you merged and renamed were purposely in the Multimedia: namespace, to separate them from the Wikipedia usability pages which reside in the main namespace. I do encourage you to continue to help out, but I'd prefer if you could discuss major changes first. Thanks!

Wikimedia's current solution is to present a menu of 356 choices to scroll through, using the name of the language in the language, ordered by ISO code. The problem cannot be solved by any ordering, as that will always have languages that are harder to find. It is also sub-optimal to mix code pages, listing devanagari alongside roman letters, since there is no obvious order. So we want to do away with a scrolling menu altogether. We want to use a text input that auto-completes with suggestions, much like the search box today. However, this auto-completion also knows about all the translations we have for all language names as well as their ISO codes. So to get to German, you could type ''de'' for its ISO code or '''De'''utsch. You could also type ''ge'' which would give you "de - Deutsch (German)" among its choices, or even the Chinese name for German. We avoid the N**2 problem since if we do not have a translation for a particular language name in a particular language, that simply doesn't become part of the choices offered. == Other == Related bugs: * [[bugzilla:1495]]: Undefined messages in user language don't fall back to MediaWiki: customizations *: Not exactly sure if the problem still exists * [[:bugzilla:8287]]: Enable multilingual extension in Commons *: Probably not the best way to handle this * [[:bugzilla:4125]] Preserve ?uselang=xx / &uselang=xx during sessions [[Category:Multimedia usability - Requirements definition]] 6e4shchppv9s50de3a8ltag46wpr0zx 3 857 5140 2009-12-22T06:03:49Z Shidi 1396 Created page with 'kelab burung rajawali adalah sebuah kelab persatuan seni silat yang berdaftar dibawah kementerian ukan malaysia. ianya ditubuhkan oleh sekumpulan pesilat yang terdiri daripada gr...' 5140 wikitext text/x-wiki kelab burung rajawali adalah sebuah kelab persatuan seni silat yang berdaftar dibawah kementerian ukan malaysia. ianya ditubuhkan oleh sekumpulan pesilat yang terdiri daripada graduan-graduan universiti, pekerja swata, kerajaan dan bersendirian. rzohszrml7cumgoilv88xshxjy85srr 2 859 5143 2009-12-22T13:52:09Z MenoBot 222 Creating 5143 wikitext text/x-wiki This is a bot operated by [[w:en:User:Meno25|Meno25]]. geg3iurrcd2i20mdgvjqn5e98z29jua 100 860 5339 5271 2010-01-11T17:01:31Z Guillom 13 +2 5339 wikitext text/x-wiki == Slideshow == for all images of a category (+subcats?) == Categories == more visible, more explicit == Classification == Categories, galleries, etc. Related bugs: * [[:bugzilla:9617]]: Feature: improved 'annotation' method for media (combo of galleries, categories and tags) * [[:bugzilla:3341]]: gallery of images uploaded by a user *: See also [[:mw:Extension:User Image Gallery]] * [[:bugzilla:8951]]: Allow users to specify file categories when uploading * [[:bugzilla:5234]]: Upload Categorization dropdown * [[:bugzilla:15087]] Default thumb image for a category * [[:bugzilla:17955]]: Show end of image names in categories * [[:bugzilla:21795]]: Camera categories: parse category and switch in mediawiki namespace == Site requests == * [[bugzilla:17471]]: Default our search box to "Search" instead of "Go" on Commons * [[bugzilla:18354]]: Change the go button functionality in Commons [[Category:Multimedia usability - Requirements definition]] 198h28n24x83ij4ubdln2we496p524w 100 861 5270 5262 2009-12-31T19:53:29Z Guillom 13 +related bugs 5270 wikitext text/x-wiki == Metadata extraction == Related bugs: * [[:bugzilla::657]]: Pull copyright metadata from files on upload * [[:bugzilla::16956]]: Show IPTC metadata on image description page * [[:bugzilla:20326]]: Option to strip some metadata on upload (GPS/geolocation privacy) * [[:bugzilla:12649]]: Show metadata information from SVGs on file description page * [[:bugzilla:17370]]: Viewing metadata for deleted files and old revisions *: See if we still store metadata of deleted files and old revisions == Metadata computation & internal use == * [[:bugzilla::6672]]: EXIF orientation not used (rotation from digital cameras) * [[:bugzilla::13172]] EXIF handling ignores tags with Count >= 1 * [[:bugzilla::3892]] EXIF data shown incorrectly for fractional values == Structured data == Related bugs: * [[:bugzilla:8298]]: Access information from a file description page where the file is used == Metadata search == == Metadata export == Export formats: * in files on download, including downsized versions * queryable via the API? * other standard format (see w/ Liam) Related bugs: * [[:bugzilla::3361]]: Image author, description, and copyright data saved in EXIF fields * [[:bugzilla:9666]]: External link syntax which adds rel="license" == To sort == * EXIF, IPTC & XMP support * [http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/ Dublin Core] * [[:mw:Extension:RDF|Extension:RDF]] [[Category:Multimedia usability - Requirements definition]] 649fi9dv7y4b29guzz8f0e7a13ilq8e 3 864 5197 2009-12-25T02:46:46Z Wutsje 166 {{subst:test}} -- ~~~~ 5197 wikitext text/x-wiki Thanks for experimenting with the the Wikipedia Usability Initiative wiki.

[[:commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] is a free repository of more than 7 million multimedia files that can be freely used, modified and distributed by anyone, for any purpose. Part of the documents are in the Public domain, while the others have been explicitly shared by their author under a "free license". As part of focused work to improve the user experience of the uploading process to Wikimedia Commons, we want to include a short tutorial to explain the basics of copyright and free works to new users, so that they understand what it entails to share their work on Wikimedia Commons, and what they can and can't do with other people's works. == Overview == === Context === Over the years, uploading a file to [[:w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] or [[:commons:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]] has grown increasingly difficult. An example is the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=ownwork complicated upload form] presented to users who want to share their own pictures on Wikimedia Commons. The Wikimedia Foundation recently obtained a grant from the Ford Foundation. The subsequent [[Multimedia:About|Multimedia usability project]] funded by this grant aims to improve the usability of the upload process, in order to make it much easier for anyone to share their media files under a free license on Wikimedia Commons. One of the main issues we have identified with our current upload workflow is that it tries to give an advanced course in worldwide copyright at the same time the user uploads a file. In reality, our research shows (unsurprisingly) that most of the users either give up in front of the instruction creep, or simply ignore it. As a consequence, we have been working on a much simpler, [[Multimedia:Upload wizard|more straightforward upload form]] that would be mostly decoupled from the Licensing 101 course. However, we still need some basic tutorial to explain what a free work is, and what people can and can't upload. We have some basic requirements but remain open to discussion. === Audience === The primary audience for this tutorial is new users who are uploading their first media file to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Most of them are not familiar with free licenses and have never been educated about copyright. The tutorial will be shown by default to any new user when they first upload a file, regardless of their language, culture or country of origin. The tutorial will have a huge impact; it is both a tremendous opportunity to reach millions of people, and a huge responsibility. == Objectives == === Learning goals === The tutorial must explain the difference between unfree and freely reusable works. During the upload process, users will have to choose between the two options, depending on what kind of file they are uploading, so it is critical that they have a basic understanding of what copyright and free works are about. The tutorial will be a success if the user completes it and: * has a basic understanding of what copyright is * has a basic understanding of what it means to release a file under a free license * understands that any material is considered to be unfree unless explicitly said otherwise * is able to determine, for simple cases, to which of the two big families (unfree or free) a media file belongs. Examples of "simple cases" include: a CD cover, a picture taken by the user, a picture from a movie and a random picture found on the Internet. === Requirements === The tutorial must be: * '''short''': the basic tutorial is not a goal per se, but a necessary step for new users who want to upload a picture. Going through the tutorial shouldn't last more than a minute, max. 2. * '''easily translatable''': Wikimedia websites target an international audience, and Wikimedia Commons in particular is multilingual, as the central media repository for all other Wikimedia websites. * '''from an international, cross-cultural standpoint''': our audience is potentially anyone on the planet who has access to Internet, so we can't use cultural references that could be offensive or misunderstood by a specific subset of our audience. * '''fun, enticing''', not too boring: we want users to actually watch and complete the tutorial. * '''lightweight''': our audience is very broad and we want everyone to be able to watch the tutorial, regardless of their bandwidth. == Product == === Format === There have been several attempts in the past to create comic-like tutorials to explain basic topics about copyright and free licenses (see [[#Supporting information|Supporting information]]), but their format made it particularly difficult to watch online and translate. We think an animated or still comic-like format (that would be displayed in an overlay or inline) is the best way to meet our requirements. We usually prefer vector graphics for that kind of work, and our preferred format is SVG. [[:en:SVG animation|Animated SVGs]] are still in a prototype state, and not yet supported by MediaWiki, so a set of still SVGs would probably be the best way to go for now. We might want to avoid speech bubbles if they make localization more difficult (especially for "verbose" languages). The tutorial should remain stable and shouldn't require frequent updating. === Deliverables === * Duration of the partnership: Advice on overall approach & product * Phase 1: Three to four draft designs * Phase 2: A first proposed set of pictures (possibly presented as a storyboard) for the selected design * Phase 3: A final set of 8 to 10 Inkscape-compatible SVG pictures The final deliverables will be released under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ CC-by-sa license]. In-progress files will be privately shared with stakeholders, under the explicit condition that they don't publish or redistribute them. == Project == === Timeline === Specific schedule to be discussed. Steps: * Creative partner & WMF: Sign agreement * Creative partner & WMF: Hold [[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Kick-off meeting|kick-off meeting]]: agree on general overview, * Creative partner: delivers Phase 1 draft designs * WMF: shares Phase 1 designs with key stakeholders, provides [[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Phase 1 feedback|phase 1 feedback]] and selects a Phase 1 design * Creative partner: delivers Phase 2 proposed set of pictures * WMF: shares Phase 2 designs with key stakeholders and provides [[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Phase 2 feedback|phase 2 feedback]] * Creative partner: delivers Phase 3 (final) set of pictures The tutorial will be included in our new Upload wizard when it is released in October 2010. A large communication campaign aiming at encouraging people to add media files to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons will be organized, and the tutorial will be prominently featured. === WMF to provide === * links to relevant documentation about copyright and free licenses * expertise about copyright, free licenses and the tutorial's general context * main topics to be included * feedback and decision based on draft designs, and communication with stakeholders * feedback on storyboard / first set of pictures === Extended scope === Depending on funding and the success of this partnership, we might consider to later extend this partnership to create a whole set of tutorials to popularize copyright-related topics that are common on Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. Such topics include: * What is a derivative work, and under what terms can one build on someone else's work? ** Related topic: Works made by multiple authors * What is freedom of panorama? * What is public domain? * Why allow commercial reuse? * What is fair use? The requirements for these additional tutorials would be similar to those of the main tutorial, apart from their length; they could be longer, given that the user could actually be interested in watching the tutorial and learning about these topics (as opposed to the basic tutorial where the user just wants to upload a media file). They should use a common theme (e.g. for instance the same characters / visual theme). == Supporting information == * '''[[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Main points|Main points to be covered]]''' * [[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Kick-off meeting]] * ''[[:w:en:Copyright|Copyright]]'' and ''[[:w:en:Free content|Free content]]'', on Wikipedia * ''[[:commons:Commons:Licensing|Licensing]]'' page on Wikimedia Commons * [[:File:BD-propagande-2 (en).jpg|Example of past comic-like tutorial: Why allow commercial reuse?]] * [[:File:BD-propagande colour en.jpg|Another example: Why use Creative Commons instead of GFDL only?]] * ''[http://questioncopyright.org/understanding_free_content Understanding free content]'' on questioncopyright.org * ''[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Sharing_Creative_Works Sharing Creative Works]'', by Creative Commons [[Category:Licensing tutorial|*]] l8bqee97urirzliq17m3eway7fjv0dr 6 890 5415 2010-01-17T10:51:17Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 5415 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 891 5416 2010-01-17T10:51:34Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 5416 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 892 5417 2010-01-17T10:51:51Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 5417 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 893 5418 2010-01-17T10:52:17Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 5418 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 6 894 5419 2010-01-17T11:01:38Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 5419 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 0 895 8908 8907 2010-09-18T11:27:12Z Hoo man 2104 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/190.134.29.23|190.134.29.23]] ([[User talk:190.134.29.23|talk]]) to last revision by [[User:Notafish|Notafish]] 8908 wikitext text/x-wiki Please use the [[Talk:Opinion_Left_Navigation|discussion page]] to post comments! ==Integrating the Book creation tool== ===As its own menu-section=== <gallery> File: 1_printexport_closed.jpg | closed File: 1_printexport_open.jpg | open </gallery> ===Integrated in the Toolbox section=== <gallery> File: 2_printexport_closed.jpg | closed File: 2_printexport_open.jpg | open File: 3_printexport_open.jpg | Alternate Version </gallery> j06y85x48jpbkmhru0ogpy2ysdks6m8 6 896 5427 2010-01-19T02:09:45Z Shuhari 4 Presentation slides which were presented to Stanton Foundation on December 15, 2009 5427 wikitext text/x-wiki Presentation slides which were presented to Stanton Foundation on December 15, 2009 ad11yw60ungpinzsjcw9331d7rw579t 1 897 7644 7273 2010-06-10T23:38:22Z 178.82.137.150 /* search field */ 7644 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Tools section== I find that the tools are more "accessible" when they are somewhat differentiated from each other. As such, My take is to say that having a "tools" section on its own is probably the best way to go about it. My second choice would be the alternate version on the "integrated version" (ie, if I see it right, with a little space between printing tools and other tools, the space could definitely be bigger). One thing is sure, even for the experienced user I am, the first solution of "integrated" seems definitely too crowded to make anything of it, I don't even find the "tools" I'm used to and expecting there. As which of both is best, it's probably best decided depending on what the people feel works best. Do they want to have all the tools in one section (it kind of makes sense to me), or do they want to see tools separated depending on their finality? I guess people who've worked with beta testers are better place to say what people mainly expect. :) [[User:Notafish|Delphine]] 15:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC) :I'd also go with a separate "print/export" section. Printing WP pages is a frequent (reuse) use case of visitors to Wikipedia; after all this is why we started our service. Maybe Erik Zachte can back this with some statistics. We got a lot of feedback indicating, that visitors do not really look at the sidebar as it is recognized as cluttered with hard to understand terms. I think the same would apply if the printable version link was appended at the end of the toolbox (which mainly links features that are not commonly known from other websites). Further the "create a book" link is not self explanatory if not within the context of print/export. It might get confused with a way of editing. --[[User:He!ko|He!ko]] 09:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC) == Wasting Time == I don't know how much time I waste because there aren't separate tabs for: *Edit this page (article) *Edit this page (discussion) *History (article) *History (discussion) I have a really slow connection, and this drives people away. And this applies for templates. There should be 6 short cuts, not just those 3 view, edit, discussion letters. You can't make a new section tab for articles, cause which headline would you use? In view source pages, the new section tab doesn't even have to appear, since it would be impossible to add ANYTHING anyway. I can't understand why there are a "million" blue links on the left, and 6 simple tabs can't be put into the web pages.[[Special:Contributions/174.3.98.236|174.3.98.236]] 23:52, 8 February 2010 (UTC) : I know that the usability team did a lot of work in the first iteration of their changes on the look/feel of the tabs at the top.

Here are some of these thought, to explain our decision: :*In order to visualize the difference we decided to seperate page, discussion from all actions (read, edit, add topic, history, watch..). We found out, that this is important for new users. :*This way page and discussion are like two sides of a coin and they are get more attention (cause they are at a very prominent place) :*Having all actions at one place gives us the possibility to be flexible (which actions are displayed when). And we can put them in a dropdown menu if the horizontal space isn t enough. :*Horizontal space is another issue.

Please go back to the old way. I liked it better. That is all I have to say!!!!!!! == search field == It was not really a good idea to move the search field away from the left navigation column to the top right corner. I am really annoyed every day, because I have to move the mouse oftener across the screen between navigation on the left and search field on the right. My eyes have to do the same. On top of that the right side of the search field moves sometimes out of screen when a search text is too long for the field and then the text is partly covered. I would be really happy the search field comes back to its old place again.

Regarding the usability, we have discussed in the study already on the position of the search field. It's just that the search box above right is regarded as best practice. But only at sites where the search function plays a supplementary role. But in Wikipedia, the searchfunction is the most important function and should receive an appropriate place and not be relegated to the other side of the screen. Just imagine Google would hide the search box in a dark corner ... Please bring back the search box on the left side. ==Hiding the interlanguage links== Did anyone ask the community before deploying the change that hides interlanguage links in the "left nav" by default? --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 09:11, 19 May 2010 (UTC) :I wanted to say the same thing.

Based on our conversation yesterday, the choice of 1) my own work, 2) someone else's work or 3) from a web site, will apply to all uploaded media files.

Confirmation page is likely to be complex to support this scenario though. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] 17:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC) :I see what you mean. It would certainly add complexity, we'd have to think whether it's worth it. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 18:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC) :The license should require an action from the user. We can't even be sure they understand the language or what the text say, they would just continue with the default regardless that it applies or not.

[[User:Platonides|Platonides]] 23:14, 21 January 2010 (UTC) == Incomplete status == The images with an "incomplete status" should be available in the image space. Not necessarily for step 2, but if the file will be there with wrong license, OTRS volunteers will be changing it, etc. It's appealing to create a new system, but admins should be able to view what people semi-uploaded, OTRS agents will have to edit it, and more cases will arise. Hiding the image goes against the wiki way, and creates many problems. What method is better for the permission request than include a list of the images, (which should thus be visible as anon) so the recipient can verify which ones are them? How to handle a OTRS agent approving ''Usability Meeting.png'' when a different user uploaded its self work ''Usability Meeting.png'' in the meantime? Et cetera, et cetera. What we could do is to have a "bad-status" tag, where images can only be linked, not embedded, and not get shared via instantantcommons. Adding a ''no source'' could place it back in that state, or another, similar one. I'm pretty sure there are some bugs on that line in bugzilla. [[User:Platonides|Platonides]] 23:14, 21 January 2010 (UTC) :Are you referring to the step 3b? The main point of the staging area is to provide a space where uploads can be refined / amended before publication. These files would not be available publicly, but a certain category of users (who could be admins, OTRS volunteers or simple "helpers") would of course be able to see and edit them. Until we have this way to handle incomplete uploads, all files (complete or incomplete) would be publicly viewable, and for incomplete uploads we would use the existing tagging system with templates. Does that address your concerns? [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 23:22, 21 January 2010 (UTC) ::Yes. My point was on not having it ''hidden'', just ''not embeddable''.

This is likely to require either pre-registration of the uploader's email address, which is bad because it prevents spur-of-the-moment uploads, or post-registration where the uploader is sent a URL in return email to a link to the form at "Step 2" of the ordinary upload workflow which involves possibly renaming the file, adding optional metadata, and selecting or confirming the license. Such a link would expire within a period of time (a day?) if it isn't completed, and the uploaded attachment files deleted at that point. Please survey popular mobile phones with cameras capable of sending pictures, audio recordings, and video, and make sure that we accept their formats. Thank you.

The messages are wildly inconsistent and it requires heuristics when you receive an attachment. The images are usually not high resolution (for instance, the iphone sends 800x600 over email, but has much higher res images if uploaded by other means.) Doable but I also question why we would want to support this use case.

For example, Alice can start the upload, and provide licensing, etc for the files while the upload is in progress.<br /> On the page with the progress bar, give each file its own progress bar. Then, add a show/hide link to edit info (universal info, which is required/used on ''all'' types of files, such as licensing, description, author, etc.) for each file. When the upload of ''a file'' (not the entire set of files) is complete, the result of the upload of the file will be shown ("previously uploaded", "Converted to Ogg", "corrupt file", etc). That way, users can multitask and save their time. [[User:Manishearth|Manishearth]] 12:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC) :We considered this option, but we need the files to be uploaded before we move to the next steps, because we want to extract as much metadata as possible from the files.

[[User:Guillom|guillom]] 23:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC) ::Er, actually this IS possible and the programmers have thought about this idea.

The reasons were that the default information template is really inadequate for artworks and that photographs of paintings don't seem to correspond to any of the options in the "where is the work from ?" of the upload form. So I post an adapted version of the end of the discussion. If there is still anything that you can do... :There is a [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Painting template:painting], but uploaders are not necessarily aware of that and use the default template provided for files uploads. This template is truly inadequate for artworks (see template painting and see the differences). The consequence is that a good half of the paintings on commons have paltry file descriptions, that are definitely not up to any quality standards. :Adding an option for reproductions of paintings/drawings wouldn't make things more complex, far from it. If the upload form isn't clear, it is rather because it is not comprehensive than because it is too long. In the current system, if you want to upload your photo of a public domain painting, you have to choose "it is entirely my own work", but it sounds strange because it is not you who made the painting. Then, if you know the existence of the template:painting, you have to look for it and copy-paste it. If you're an occasional user, chances are that you provide only the information that you are asked, even if they are grossly insufficient for a painting. Adding an option "it is a faithful reproduction of a 2 dimension public domain image" would not make things more difficult, and it may prompt people to provide information that are necessary but too often lack on commons file. Given the large number of artworks on commons (many tens of thousands I suppose), I think it is something that is really worth doing.--[[User:Zolo|Zolo]] ([[User talk:Zolo|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:11, 18 May 2010 (UTC) ::You might want to bring this up on [[Commons:Usability issues and ideas]].

It looks very much better than the old upload form. However, some questions remain. ::::* There are now fewer license types shown for selection (making it simpler), but their meaning is not yet explained. A short text -- possibly only shown on request (e.g. folded out after clicking a button or a link) -- briefly explaining each one of the license types show, would be helpful. Don't ask me what the difference is between "Public Domain", "Creative Commons Zero waiver", "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0", "Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0", "GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License)" etc.! These terms sound just meaningless to people not familiar with these things. And if I look them up somewhere (where?), I am sure I have forgotten it within a few minutes. ::::* In the end, when for some reason I want (or have to) to change the license, I can only "edit" the license template name shown. '''Not even the "names"''' of the license types are shown now. ::::What I am suggesting, is that at least an explanatory text (in plain English, avoiding lawyerese) of each license type be given. But better would be what I called a "selection tree" consisting of questions guiding the user clearly through the "maze" of license types. Compare it with a "clever" opinion survey that only shows those questions (the tree branch) that are relevant in view of the answers given so far. If at certain points multiple answers must be allowed, a clear indication should be given that the user will now first be guided through the remaining questions for, say, answer 3.5.3. When that is done, answer 3.5.7 must be worked out, etc. ::::[[User:HHahn|HHahn]] 10:50, 22 May 2010 (UTC) ::::Anotjer point is that in the localised (Dutch) version I cannot select "Creative Commons... '''unported'''", but only "Creative Commons...'''Netherlands'''. There are two problems with this. First of all, Dutch is spoken in more countries than only the Netherlands: more than half of Belgium (known as "Flanders") speaks Dutch, and in Surinam, too, Dutch is an official language. Wikipedia is organised bij languages (and rightly so), but legal regulation are udually "organised" by country, which more often than not is NOT the same. ::::Secondly, A user may have several reasons to specify an "unported" license. So at any rate, "unported" must be selectable as well. ::::[[User:HHahn|HHahn]] 11:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC) ::::: Why would a user want to specify an unported license? It seems to me that the right thing to do is to use the correct ported licenses whenever available. The license template itself may not be in a language which matches the media, but that's irrelevant. For instance, I could record a person speaking Navajo in the USA and the license template, say, CC-BY-SA-3.0-US would still be in English, since that's the default language in the USA. [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 18:29, 25 June 2010 (UTC) == Inconsistent behaviour of external links? == The link Gillom gave in the above item is shown as an external link (with the little image where a pointer points out of the screen). As far as I understand, the normal behaviour is that Wiki software executes such external links in a new tab (at least in Firefox). But sometimes it does not -- it overwirites the current tab. That is also what happened here. Is there some clear description in what cases a link is executed on a new tab and when it is not? [[User:HHahn|HHahn]] 15:02, 21 May 2010 (UTC) :External links are always opened in the same tab or window. By default, MediaWiki doesn't open links in another tab/window. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 16:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC) == Feedback == I haven't closely read the rest of this page, but these are the problems that stuck out for me with the new Upload wizard: * It's very frustrating to have to upload the entire file before entering any details. Over my high-speed connection uploading a high-resolution photograph requires a few minutes, and people on modems or data plans would require even longer, up to 30 minutes. If you spend a long time uploading something you end up going to do something else and lose the context of what you were doing. * I disfavor the idea of having a default or "recommended" license for image uploads. Text on the wiki has to be released under a single license to maintain sanity because it's collaboratively edited - images are quite rarely edited, and authors should be encouraged to (briefly) consider which license best suits their needs, without imposing any restrictions that they don't actually care about. I'd much prefer something like [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ Creative Commons' license chooser]. * I dislike how the license chooser seems to emphasize making it easy to multilicense - multilicensing is not often useful, and frequently entirely pointless (as with say, CC-BY-SA and CC-BY, public domain and anything), and shouldn't be the focus of the UI. I would make it a "choose one of the below" list with multilicensing as an option in that list. * It would be nice if the license screen would remember what they entered for their name the previous upload, instead of having to re-enter it every upload. Or if this was a setting in their preferences. * In the current upload wizard for "not my own work", we include many "trap" choices for license: licenses that are actually unacceptable on Commons. The reason for this is that users who are not permitted to choose the actual license of a work will often randomly choose something from the list, leading to copyright violations. It's important that the new "This file is not my own work" area also include trap choices. Alternatively, the trap choices could redirect users to the non-free content policy at their home wiki, if there is one. * Ideally, the "not my own work" section would have options for common sources like Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, etc. that allow you to just enter a URL and they'll automatically extract the metadata from there. * Ideally, we should have a "public domain" guide to help people determine if a work is actually public domain in its country of origin. This is an incredibly complex determination that is hard for many people to do. [http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm This page] could be a starting point for US works. * It'd be nice to have a larger, multiline box for Source, as some people like to put detailed citations and we shouldn't discourage this. * The description box auto-expands, which is nice, but it wasn't intuitive for me at first that it would do this, which made the field feel too constrained. * It would be great if geolocation tags were automatically added based on EXIF data. Things I like: * A short list of licenses. The five that are included are just the ones that I would include. * Setting the "date" field from the EXIF data. * Not requiring an extension for the title. * Showing how to use it with the thumb syntax at the end. * The link on the final page opening a new tab/window. If it didn't do this it'd be easy to lose the info on the last page. Neutral: * The upload form does nothing to address complex copyright issues like derivative works, PD-Art, freedom of panorama, ''de minimis'' and so on. I think this is okay as I have no idea what the best way to deal with these is. Thanks for working on this, I do think it's a great effort and will hopefully facilitate easier uploads in the future. :-) Dcoetzee 21:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC) : Thanks for all this. I think you've zeroed in on a lot of important issues here. I'm not going to respond point by point because a lot of the questions are still up in the air. Some are no-brainers, but some are a bit more in a grey area. A lot of the participants in our study really like that you can upload before adding titles and so on, which is your number one complaint. : One thing which is not at all obvious is that this frontend supposes a rewritten backend which allows you to upload files without "publishing" them. That is, you can upload files without metadata, and then you can add that metadata at your leisure (for instance, determining the license may be really complex). So one choice for license might be "I need help with this" or "Figure it out later". In which case the file will stay in your private area, until maybe an admin can help you out. We're calling this concept "incomplete uploads" for now. [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 22:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC) :: Okay, after saying I wasn't going to respond point by point, I think I'd like to anyway, as we are now setting post-study priorities. ::* ''Frustrating to upload file... without adding details'' we just disagree on this. Study participants have not yet complained about that. ::* ''disfavor recommended license'' we disagree on this, I think Erik summed it up well below. That said we can do better explaining what's happening with the licenses. ::* ''too easy to multilicense'' a lot of people think we've got it wrong here. Personally I think we need to review this. That said if we open it up it's a rathole we may never escape from. Assuming we even want to give people the ability to multilicense, in an ideal world we'd be able to sort out what licenses were compatible with each other. It definitely is possible to dual-license GFDL and CC-BY-SA-3.0, but is Public Domain (Argentina) incompatible with a CC0 license everywhere else? I don't know. Maybe this is impossible to really get right. But right now we're just not even trying to help them make a choice which makes sense. ::* ''remember license settings from previous upload'' -- planned feature ::* ''trap choices'' -- I would like to learn more about this. Please write more. My gut instinct says that if we need to do this it must be a symptom of a failure elsewhere in the entire upload experience. Perhaps the licensing tutorial will reduce the need for this. It seems wrong to me if we are giving them choices that don't make sense just to trip them up -- it is definitely not in the spirit of 'Assume good faith'. That said it may be a sort of human-nature hack that works better in practice. ::* ''not my own work should have common sources like Flickr etc'' -- a planned feature, but currently deferred as a nice to have. ::* ''public domain'' guide. Well, you said everything that needs to be said. That's hella hard. The licensing tutorial is not expected to solve that problem. I think we have to defer this for another day. However, we may be able to explain to them that the common notion of "I found it on the internet, therefore it's public domain" is WRONG. ::* ''multiline box for source'' -- it IS multiline, just like the description field is autoexpands. ::* ''surprised that description box autoexpands'' -- not sure what I can do about this. I think you're right that we need a little more room in the description field to start with. Is there an interface convention to show that such boxes autoexpand? In any cases, Facebook uses such boxes everywhere, so they are pretty mainstream now. I would argue that it's more likely that the more computer savvy users are surprised that it expands, where the less savvy users would be surprised/irritated if it doesn't expand. ::[[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 18:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC) : I would strongly argue against forcing a licensing selector on new users. Wikimedia's core philosophy on licensing is expressed by the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike license on text, so it seems entirely sensible to default to CC-BY-SA licensing for media files as well. To the extent that users have expectations, this will be consistent with them, and it will reduce the need for new users to familiarize themselves with the relatively minor differences among free cultural works licenses, which are incredibly difficult to understand for someone who has no mental framework of licensing at all. Nobody is arguing for taking away licensing choices - just for picking a reasonable default. (I'm of course in favor of doing the best possible job we can do without cluttering the UI of explaining the meaning of the default, just like the Wikipedia edit page makes it very clear what the default text licensing means.) --[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 02:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC) :: Hey all, sorry for late response. ::* My main concern with multilicense is just that the interface makes it really easy to multilicense, when most files are not multilicensed. There will, in all likelihood, be more users who accidentally multilicense incorrectly or get confused by the concept than users who actually need to perform multilicensing. A single-selection UI would be more intuitive. ::* My opposition to the CC-BY-SA is philosophical, and I recognize that the use of this default license for "self created images" is unlikely to change, as much as I'd like it to. ::* You can see trap choices in the current upload form on Commons. "I found the image on Google or on a random website." "Fair use image." And so on. These are important because it's extremely expensive to detect images where the uploader lied about the license later on. The target audience here is the uninformed Commons user who goes "I need an image for my article," goes to Google Image search, downloads one and then tries to upload it to Commons without even reading any of the warnings we provide. This type of user may have done this routinely in the past on other, less strict websites. I realise this may sound like not assuming good faith, but because the cost of detecting this type of upload is high it's important to take some limited measures to help prevent it. ::* I really like the idea of "incomplete uploads" for images where the user is not sure about the copyright status. Commons users routinely answer questions about copyright and do public domain review and I think they'd be happy to help with this type of image. I'm assuming the technical measures that will support this will also prevent the inclusion of incomplete uploads in articles, which is important to avoid collateral damage if they need to be removed. ::* I forgot about Facebook's boxes. Yeah the autoexpand thing is fine, just unfamiliar to me. :-) ::Hope this helps. [[User:Dcoetzee|Dcoetzee]] 19:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC) ::: As for incomplete uploads, we had some discussions about this and we're starting to realize that we don't have concrete enough plans for how this "mentorship" is going to work. We can lay the groundwork for that sort of thing (stay tuned) but that isn't going to be a major part of our first release. Be aware this is a time-limited grant and we have to wrap it all up by November. ::: Re: trap choices -- thanks, I understand what you mean now. However, it's not clear to me if this is actually doing what you say it is doing. Is it known for certain that adding these trap choices really reduces problems, and reduces them for the right reasons? My gut feeling is that we're just making life difficult for our users, as opposed to educating good faith users about what they should be doing. :::We're going to have a licensing tutorial, however, we can't expect people to read anything, so maybe something like a "fair use" trap choice in the license widget will end up being useful. There are some very common and silly notions about "fair use" and "public domain" and we have to be realistic about the vocabulary we use and what it means to our potential users. :::That said, we're making uploading so easy that a user determined to falsify a license will not have a lot of problems. :::Perhaps we should focus our efforts somewhere else. At places like Flickr, a new user is monitored more closely during their first uploads. Could something like that be helpful? That's out of scope for this project, but we can think about it for later. :::[[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 23:25, 19 July 2010 (UTC) == Feedback (2) == Copied from IRC chat: * Upload doesn't complete <pre> [00:29] <siebrand> first impressions: nice n00b interface, indeed. [00:29] <siebrand> uploading two files, 1 preexisting. [00:30] <siebrand> in the preview I get distorted image ratio (my image was square).

The priority was to get a sense of the interface should be, and error handling was left out for the time being. So, something happened (not sure what) and it failed. :The reason why you see autogenerated filenames is a temporary behind-the-scenes hack. As you notice we are uploading files and only afterwards adding titles. The easiest way to do this (for the interface prototype) was to upload them under a guaranteed-unique name and change them later. In the final version we will probably hack up something based on stashed files instead, so the files will not become actual File: entries until they are ready. [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 18:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC) == Categories! == I just tried this and it's kick-ass. That's my official opinion. :) The only thing I find missing is the option to add categories (or free-form wiki-text). It would be annoying if you have to edit the page after uploading to add categories. There is a nice JavaScripty category-chooser which would work well with this set-up, I think. --[[User:Pfctdayelise|Pfctdayelise]] 14:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC) :Originally, we wanted to have a widget that suggested categories for each file based on the description. Such a feature would be too complicated to implement, however we'll add a hotcats-like category adder that would work à la SimpleSearch, i.e. not only autocompletion but displaying categories that match the letters entered, wherever they appear in the category's name. : For the free-form text, there's an "additional information" field for free wikitext in the "more options" box. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 21:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC) :There are already extensions that do that sort of thing for categories, why not work together? == File page name - using the existing filename == A minor point, but maybe an important one - the fact that the image is uploaded using the original filename, and then moved, is obviously not very neat, and also perhaps a kind of privacy risk? I certainly don't expect files to be uploaded with my original title, and it could be that they have fullnames or some other private details in them. It might be enough to just move the "Title:" box to the first page, and use it directly. I think that would be OK. --[[User:Pfctdayelise|Pfctdayelise]] 14:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC) :The current situation is an artifact of the prototype; the final implementation will be cleaner. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 21:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC) == Some observations == Using the wizard for the first time (using Firefox on Mac OS X 10.6) * Is the layout and text final or will there be a newer version? It seems pretty bare-bones right now. I guess the first sentence "Welcome to Wikimedia Commons" is not really relevant: i know that already by entering from the home page. I like the second sentence, maybe it could be highlighted more. * I like the four steps layed out on top. Gives a good indicator of what you need to do. * 'Click here to upload a file' is not a button, but a hyperlink without any visual indicator (e.g. the mouse cursor changing into the 'hand' when doing a hover) that you can do something with it. The same is true for the 'Add another file' button (which isn't a button, but a hyperlink) * What does the grey background mean on some of the files in the 'to-upload' list? * When i upload two photos at about 50% of the process i get an alert box with the message 'Failure!', which is a) not very descriptive and b) doesn't indicate if i can do anything about it * Apparently my second file didn't upload, but there is no way to go back to the previous step and try again. * On the 'Release rights' page i think you might want some way to get help on terms. What's a 'license'? How can i find out what source and author(s) are for a specific file? What are all these 'Creative Commons' licenses? The current upload page has far too much information, but it would be good if you could get more specific information. * The 'description' page isn't aligned and layed-out properly. I like the fact that a date is selected for you and you can easily select something else. * On the 'description' page i see an empty image, where i suppose my second image in the upload process (with the 'failure' alert box) should be. * I like the small green information boxes i get when i click on certain input fields. Nice! Although i would like some indication that i can actually get more information (this is also true for the 'Release rights' page). Maybe a small question mark or something. * I also really like how the state of required fields is automatically updated when you enter more information, such as the warning about a 5-character minimum for descriptions goes away when you are typing. * I like the textareas on the 'Use' page. Maybe a quick 'copy' button would be nice that you sometimes see on websites. A *really* nice addition would be some suggestions (maybe on the basis of the description) of articles that the image could use. * Where did the categories go? That was actually one of the few things on the current upload page that's mostly decent. Keep up the good work. Very interested to see this progress in the following weeks. [[User:Husky|Husky]] 14:09, 23 July 2010 (UTC) :I agree with most of your criticisms, and we're working on it. Here's just some additional info: :* Nothing's final but this is close to what we want. :* The "click here to upload a file" is a rather complicated beast. In other HTML-based multi-file uploaders there has to be two clicks; one to add a file input field and the second to add the file. This one only requires one. The tradeoff is that in some browsers, it was impossible to make the cursor do the right thing. Very few people notice this. We can make it look like a button but so far we have had nobody misunderstand what they are supposed to do. :* The background for files alternates between white and grey. It'll be more obvious why when I finish this. :* The error messages are placeholders for now. :* To my knowledge, in current browser technology, it is impossible to make a "Copy to clipboard" button without using Flash. :* What's wrong with the layout, exactly? :* The categories are right there, in the Describe phase. I agree that the current Commons category interface, HotCats is very good, but its usability could be improved. Lupo recently added even more experimental bells and whistles to HotCats but at the cost of having a somewhat bewildering interface. I'm working on a new categorizer called CoolCats which will attempt to do most of what HotCats does with a less surprising interface. :Thanks very much for taking the time to check this out and offer feedback, it really matters. :[[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 20:31, 23 July 2010 (UTC) == Some critical observations == Having uploaded two photos just now, I remarked that the license options are very limited. For instance : OTRS authorization is lacking or it is not possible to use the license PD-author. Another remark. I have uploaded thousands of photos to the Commons. In many cases several photos uploaded in a row contain about the same text with some small differences. After uploading the first of such a series, I used to go back, import the next photo from my hard drive and change the text in the upload form if needed. This saves me a lot of time, preventing the use of a new upload form and entering a new text. This seems no longer possible. Otherwise, this new upload wizard seems OK to me.

[[User:Guillom|guillom]] 16:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC) == Confusing messaging == A couple minor issues: # The initial link "Click here to upload a file" doesn't actually upload a file. This makes it somewhat confusing when you have to click on the "Upload files and continue" link to continue. My initial thought is "But I already uploaded the files". Either the initial link should say "Select files to upload" or the files should start uploading immediately after being chosen. # When you first load the Release rights page it says "Set a license for the above file:" and then asks you to pick whether you own the file or not. This is confusing since choosing whether or not you own the file is not setting a license. It only makes sense after you've chosen one of the options and then it displays the licensing info. I would suggest either deleting the "Set a license for the above file:" text or replacing it with "Choose one of the following:". [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 00:47, 5 August 2010 (UTC) :Right, thanks for catching that. We're currently working on refining the UI and the messaging, but I definitely need to add that in the Q&A page so people know. [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 00:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC) == Derivatives of Wikimedia Commons works == I tested the new Upload Wizard: apart from several issues the FAQ says will be fixed, my main concern is that I want DerivativeFX to be <strike>improved</strike>replaced with something better, especially for works ''already'' in Wikimedia Commons. I want to be able to click "this is a derivative of a work from Wikimedia Commons", specify the name of the file it is based on, and upload - ''without'' being harassed with all kinds of check marks that have to be checked or unchecked to allow the upload and avoid putting bot-messages in other files that I haven't thought about (how many notes about "retouched photos" does a blank map need?). And without having to mess with a description that starts by default as a description of the other file. The description I type in should be simply my statement of how I altered the other file, period. A more general derivative interface probably should also exist for non-Wikimedia files, though I think the point might fairly be made that if a file is worth your making a derivative of it, and has a license suitable for upload, then you should upload it first, then relate your derivative to it afterward. [[User:Wnt|Wnt]] 13:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC) == Metadata == In the interests of privacy, I think the upload wizard should announce all metadata (such as EXIF) and any watermarks detected ''before'' any permanent record is made of the upload. I also think it would be quite desirable if option can be provided to (a) automatically remove all metadata, (b) preserve all metadata, or (c) automatically strip out unrecognized metadata, which may contain serial numbers and the like - preserving only the bare basic information that can be recognized by the template that displays the metadata on Commons, such as the exposure and aperture settings.

Thank you for your interest. ---- The '''[[Multimedia:About|Wikimedia Multimedia Usability Project]]''' is a special project of the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that supports Wikipedia. It is realized thanks to a grant from the Ford Foundation and aims to improve the interfaces and workflows for multimedia uploading on Wikimedia websites. == Context == Over the years, uploading a file to [[:w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] or [[:commons:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]] has grown increasingly difficult. Users are now presented with a ridiculously verbose and complicated upload form, as a consequence of both implementation-driven design and limited capabilities of the software. The Wikimedia Foundation recently obtained a grant from the Ford Foundation to specifically address this issue. The subsequent 1-year [[Multimedia:About|Multimedia usability project]] funded by this grant aims to improve the usability of the upload process, in order to make it much easier for anyone to share their media files under a free license on Wikimedia Commons. == User research plan == Based on a preliminary assessment, we chose a 3-step research plan: # A '''preliminary user research''' phase in the very early stages of the project (October - December 2009). It consisted of ethnographic interviews of users, discussions with stakeholders and subject matter experts, online survey and free forum open to users. The main goals were to observe and understand why and how users use the product, as well as identify or confirm critical issues that users encounter during its use. # A first '''formal usability/UX study''' six months later (early March 2010). Participants will be confronted with two interfaces: the initial interface as it was before any improvement, and a prototype interface developed in the meantime, based on the preliminary research. The goals of this (both formative and summative) study are: formally recording the issues identified by the preliminary study as a reference for progress and checking that the preliminary changes are a step in the right direction. # A last '''formal usability/UX study''' at the end of the project (October / November 2010), possibly with a reduced number of participants. This study will be mostly summative and will aim to measure progress and improvements using the first study as reference. It will also be used to identify remaining issues. The [[:Multimedia:Hub#Research|preliminary user research phase]] is now over. We are currently working on the second step: the first formal usability / user experience study. We will consider proposals that bundle the two formal studies, as well as individual proposals for the first formal study. == Purpose == One of the major changes we are going to introduce is a complete redesign of the upload interface to make it simpler and more straightforward. Instead of presenting the user with a complicated set of paths and dozen fields to fill in before actually uploading, we want to provide a simpler, context-aware interface consistent with the user's mental model. The goal of the UX study is twofold: * Record the current user experience, as it is without any change, in order to: ** have a reference to compare to at the end of the project ** formally confirm the main issues identified by the preliminary user research ** discover previously uncovered issues * Record the user experience with the new interface to check we're going in the right direction, and identify possible new interaction issues. For that purpose, we want to test both the current and the prototype interface. == Scenario == Basically, we will record the experience of users who want to upload a picture to Wikimedia Commons. The picture might be their own work, but we would also like to study cases that are less clear-cut, in order to avoid research bias. We will favor proposals that offer creative ways to test various cases, based on the design of [[multimedia:newUpload|our proposed new workflow]]. == Specifications == We are looking for UX and Usability firms, researchers, and enthusiasts to help us to evaluate the changes we have made to the existing software and identify issues that have remained hidden. Generally we are looking to: * recruit appropriate users * have about 10 participants. We will consider in-person and remote interviews. Given the multilingual nature of Wikimedia Commons, we will also consider interviews of users who don't speak English. * conduct interviews of tasks and open ended questions with video and audio of the participant, moderator, and computer screen. * analyze and synthesize all of the information from the interviews * share video highlights and the full interview audio + video with our community online, under a [[:w:free license|free license]]. A lot of additional documentation about our research & work is available from our [[Multimedia:Hub|hub for multimedia usability]]. == Apply == If you or your company is available to help, please e-mail gpaumier[[File:At sign.svg|15px|replace this]]wikimedia.org. Let us know how you can help or with a proposal and we will get back to you. Thanks!

I am obliged to return to the top of the page, and return to the article afterwards, and so on and so forth. A navigable TOC always on the right would be really helpful.

Can't you just put it there from HTML (with some default text saying you need javascript enabled)? Pretty much everyone has JS nowadays, and it is a preference option, so if someone does not, they wont enable it anyway. (Of course if you could just make it appear faster, that would work, too.) --[[User:Tgr|Tgr]] 10:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC) :I agree. :Plus, on long pages, it reloads everytime I type something, even when it's not related with the TOC.

That would be much better for slow connexions, and browsers that are slow with JavaScript. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 18:55, 4 October 2009 (UTC) The TOC doesn't reload on every keypress. Rather, it waits until you've stopped typing for a second, then reloads. Reloading the TOC also does not use your connection in any way, so slow connections don't suffer. Also, I recommend ditching Opera 9.64 in favor of Opera 10; 9.64 is slow and buggy. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 18:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC) :That's right. What I mean, is "a second" is way too short.

Most users like the TOC, but don't want it to reload unless they asked it te reload. :I am using both Opera 9.64 and Opera 10. Technically, of course Opera 10 is better. But the design of Opera 9.64 is much better. So I'm using both of them. And I do have loading problems with the TOC regardless of the browser. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 22:20, 6 October 2009 (UTC) == Link insertion == The new link insertion tool is pretty nifty, but it lacks a simple feature: decoupling of page title and link text. A typical user might select a word to link, bring up the link tool but wants to select a page title ''without'' changing the link text. I actually thought the 'broken'/'fixed' link icon could be used to do that. It wasn't very clear to me that it indicated if the page could be found or not. [[User:Husky|Husky]] 23:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC) :The link text changes to mirror the link target if they start out the same. This stops when you change the link text.

I was editing my talk page, and I noticed a minor bug in the TOC. I was editing the entire page rather than individual sections, because I had multiple comments to which to reply. Since the last time I had edited the page, first one user had added a section without the proper header syntax, thereby adding it to the previous section, then another user had properly added a new section. '''Example of where the bug was found''' <pre> == section foo x == blah blah blah == section foo y == blah blah blah == section foo z == blah blah blah == new section == <!--section added during the edit, manually--> blah blah blah <!--was typing here--> == section foo Ω == blah blah blah </pre> I first edited the improper header to fix it, changing it to a normal level-2 header from some otherwise unadorned text. After that, while I was adding a reply in the new section, I noticed that, while I typed, the focus (the bolding of the selected section) in the navigable TOC changed to the section below (the last section) while I was typing, and changed back to the proper new section once I stopped typing. I was typing above the section header of the section below, so I found the behaviour incorrect—I was not editing the section below until later. Can this be fixed, please?

The fact that it borrows some HTML tags does not change this. # One of the points of wikitext is to be simpler than (X)HTML and its cruft. # We're trying to make Wikipedia easier to use -- so let's drop the unnecessary punctuation that will make no sense to people. # The MediaWiki parser, in its desire to output XHTML transitional, is more than capable of sorting out the tags anyway. It totally reparses and regenerates them from scratch. " /" is unnecessary extra parsing work, as it's dropped during parsing and MediaWiki puts in a new one. # Wikitext should be stable.

E.g., MediaWiki uses completely different syntax when exporting as PDF. # XHTML is pointless anyway. ## MediaWiki serves as Content-Type: text/html, so browsers never invoke their XHTML parsers on it. ## That's lucky too, because there are plenty of ways to break MediaWiki's output that it can't defend against, but as I say, browsers don't care because they parse it as HTML. ## The above situation is not going to change since Internet Explorer doesn't have an XHTML parser. It can't even interpret the content type. If you serve as XHTML, it will show you an XML tree or offer a download. ## A big point of XHTML was to make parsing simpler for mobile devices. In the several years since as the irksome XHTML plague began to infect the Web, mobile devices have become so much more powerful and parsers have become so much more efficient, that XHTML is now an irrelevant quirk, that the misinformed masses think they need but do not. # &lt;br> looks nicer. I'm sure the smart and sensible developers of the editing toolbar will concur that &lt;br> is the superior tag.

[[User:Witty lama|Witty lama]] 05:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC) == Closed tabs == Stupid idea, probably, but would the Usability team consider leaving the "open tab" images in the skin so that "open" tabs can be a user option? If the images remain, the changes are probably mainly CSS hacks—and I, among other users, really like the "open" feel though I understand that it might not ultimately be the most usable design. [[User:Nihiltres|Nihiltres]] 17:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC) == Bolding the active link == After my short talk with [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Catrope Roan Kattouw] on the Wikimedia Usability IRC channel I decided I share the idea my employer came up with earlier today. He said to me: "the navigation is not only to show, where you can go, but also to show where you are," and then told me to code that. I think he has a point, so I coded it for our project. It works great with vanilla sidebars, like the ones used in Wikimedia projects, so, here's what I've done. In <code>skins/Vector.php</code>: I found <code>function renderPortals( $portals )</code> and added <code>global $wgTitle;</code> in a new line, and found <pre><?php if ( $val['active'] ): ?> class="active"<?php endif; ?></pre> and changed that with <pre><?php if ( $val['active'] || $wgTitle->getLocalURL() == $val['href'] ): ?> class="active"<?php endif; ?></pre> <code>$val['active']</code> is set in Skin.php, but it is always set to false, afterwards being cached, so I decided more "renderer-oriented" approach of comparing the local URL during sidebar rendering. Then I added these CSS rules to Vector's <code>main-ltr.css</code> and <code>main-rtl.css</code>: <pre>div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li.active a {color: #000; font-weight: bold;} div#mw-panel div.portal div.body ul li.active a:hover {color: #0B0080;}</pre> Works like charm. Maybe you'll include that or do something about this <code>$val['active']</code> [http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/Skin_8php-source.html#l02195 always set to ''false''] in Skin.php?

Some of these actions can be performed on the article and discussion page independently (e.g. Edit, View History) and some actions can be applied to both pages (e.g. Watch). The most used tabs site-wide are always visible, others are placed in a drop-down menu. If you are adding a new page, please maintain this functional separation. If it is a page type, it should be grouped with the tabs on the left. If it is an action that is performed on the page, it should be grouped with the tabs on the right. Please maintain an appropriate hierarchy within the "page type" and "page action" categories. * Illustrations needed **Image of tabs highlighting types Vs. actions **Example of added tabs (language variant, admin tools) <br /> === Background Color === The background color of the tabs plays an important role in their function. Vector uses separate colors for "active" tabs and "inactive tabs". The background of the content area should match the background color of an active tab (in Vector HEX VALUE). This way, the active tab is grouped with the content area. Additionally, the inactive tabs should be a significantly different color to reinforce this activity. Breaking these conventions would break the tab/folder metaphor. We additionally do not recommend adding any extra lines or other things that visually disconnect the active tab from the content area or removing lines that visually connect inactive tabs from the content area. * Illustrations needed ** tab, content area ** good example, bad example (that polish one that adopted our stuff) ===Text Labels=== The text labels are displayed in "Arial", 12px, regular. We recommend to keep this typeface. If you want to change it you should choose a legible and simple typeface. We recommend to use the same typeface as used in other navigation elements (left navigation, ntoc, toolbar). Please note that the tabbed navigation is the main navigation element of a wiki. For this reason it should be prominent, easy to access and the text labels should be displayed in a propper, legible size. ==== Text Label Colors ==== The text labels basically behave just like normal links: * blue text = link to existing page * red text = link to not existing page (only occurs for "discussion") * black text = active We use regular font weight. If you decide to change this, we recommend to keep that value on all status. For example: A switch from regular to bold as a mouse over effect evokes resizement of the tab, which looks like a "jump effect". This should be avoided. === Interaction === As a mouse over effect we use underlinement of text labels. This corresponds to commonly used link behaviour and supports good user interaction. We recommend not to use a change of background color or font weight (using bold as mouse over effect). Underlinement as mouse over effect may be turned off, though we encourage to keep it. ==The Toolbar== The basic idea of the toolbar is a limited, preselected row of the most important icons according to the data we collected with a clicktracking survey. If you change this row, we highly recommend not to display more than 7 icons, to maintain easy, comprehensible interaction. The expanded toolbar, as you get it when you click on "advanced", is the right place to add extra icons. ===Icons=== ====Text format icons==== In an effort to be comprehensible in many languages, the toolbar uses the letter "A" for character formatting icons as the default value. However we support the use of language specific icons (for example, "B" for Bold and "I" for Italic in English and "F" for Fettdruck and "K" for Kursiv in German). The set of textformatting icons can be found on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vector_edit_toolbar this page] on Wikimedia Commons. If you use a language wiki that does not have language-specific icons already on Commons, and have basic knowledge of Inkscape + Gimp or Adobe Illustrator + Photoshop, we welcome your contributions. We have created this [[Text format icons| "How To"]] guide to walk you through the steps to create these icons and get them on Wikimedia Commons. ====Toolbar icons==== If you want to add any icons to the toolbar we recommend to keep the icon style, which adopted the GNOME Icon Style. We created another [[Toolbar icons| "How To" Page]] to help you creating appropriate icons. Feel free to add new icons for the toolbar to this [[Additionally Vector Toolbar Icons]] or leave a comment on the discussion page. == Article Page Content Area == === Color === ===usage of lines, boxes=== === Headings === ===typefaces=== ===innern tabs=== === Thumbnails === 220px now. phasing out 180px. == Edit Page Content Area == == Left Navigation == ===structure and organization=== ===color=== ===usage of lines, boxes=== == Logo == === Localization === k4vhszj8ke8kxqpr1iflm1tsmvjo5rc 0 935 5653 2010-02-03T21:23:52Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 moved [[Style Guidelines]] to [[Style Guide]]: naming issues 5653 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Style Guide]] gwckoma8rqa3bhvgvjm4j5evcdetb0a 100 936 9351 9344 2011-01-05T01:37:41Z 216.38.130.166 added difficulty 9351 wikitext text/x-wiki <div align="center"> {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !

Reasons: * Slanted (italic) fonts are rarely used in Hebrew books. Because of this the Hebrew Wikipedia style guide discourages the use of italics for Hebrew words. It is sometimes used for names in Latin letters that appear in Hebrew articles. * Hebrew-speaking computer users are familiar enough with B and I from word processors. * The Hebrew letters that stand for bold (בולט) and slanted (נטוי) are different, but actually rather similar in shape. A good graphics designer (i.e. not me) can make them look distinct, but because of the above points i don't think that it's worth the effort. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E.

Take a look at icons that have already been created before you start to create one yourself. When you have succeeded to create a new icon please contribute it to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vector_toolbar Wikimedia Commons].<br /> Textformatting icons are treated seperatly, read how to create Texformatting icons [[Text format icons| here]]. ==Icons== [[File:Toolbaricon_strike.png|Strike]]<br /> [[File:Toolbaricon_quote.png|Insert block quote]]<br /> [[File:Toolbaricon_hiddencomment.png|Insert hidden comment]]<br /> [[File:Toolbaricon_lock.png|Read only mode]]<br /> [[Toolbar icons Wishlist| Wishlist]] ==Style== The vector toolbar icons make use of the free [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Desktop_icons GNOME Desktop Icons]. Any of these icons can easily be turned into an icon for our toolbar by following the guidelines: [[#Turning GNOME Icons into a vector icon| Turning GNOME Icons into a vector icon]]. If you need to create a new icon, which is not in the GNOME Icon-set, please follow the [http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines Tango Icon Style Guide Lines]. ===Turning GNOME Icons into a vector icon=== If you want to use a GNOME Icon in the vector toolbar you have to do some graphical adjustments. Please follow these steps: * Download the icon of your choice from [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Desktop_icons| Wikimedia Commons] as a 200px PNG file. * Open the file in a programm like Adobe Photoshop or Gimp. * Delete all shadows (that the icon-object casts on the virtual platform). * Crop the file to be excactly as hight and wide as the icon is (no white space around it). * Change the image size to be not more than 20px high and wide. The perfect size may be a bit smaller than 20px, this depends on the characteristics of the specific icon. Make sure "Constrain Proportions" and "Resample Image" are checked. Choose "Bicubic (sharper)". * Often it is necessary to add dark outlines. Depending in the complexity of the logo there are many ways to do that. If you have a simple icon you can do it as follows: :*Duplicate the Layer :*Turn layer Opacity to 0% :*Open the layer properties (right click on the Layer) :*Add a 1px innern stroke, with black and 20% Opacity. (You can vary with the opacity until you get a nice looking result). *Go to "Canvas Size" (not "Image Size"!) and edit the size to be 22*22px. *Save this file as a png(-24). Please note the Namings Guide Lines and upload your Icon to [http://commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons]. ==Specifications== *size *file *color ==Recommendations== {| class="wikitable" |- ! Do !!

The rest of this article explains the technical details of customizing the toolbar and requires a basic level of understanding of JavaScript. == Configuration structure == The toolbar widget is defined by a [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/WikiEditor/modules/jquery.wikiEditor.js?view=markup configuration object]. You can look at the configuration for the [http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/WikiEditor/modules/ext.wikiEditor.toolbar.js?view=markup default toolbar] to see how you can modify the toolbar. Complete documentation is to be written shortly. You can modify the toolbar even after it's been built by calling the <code>.wikiEditor()</code> function on the textarea. You will need to do this inside an <code>$(document).ready(function() {});</code> call, though. == Adding things == <source lang="JavaScript"> // Check that the toolbar is available if ( typeof $j != 'undefined' && typeof $j.fn.wikiEditor != 'undefined' ) { // Execute on load $j( function() { // General format: // $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { configuration object here } ); // To add a toolbar section: $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'sections': { 'emoticons': { 'type': 'toolbar', // Can also be 'booklet' 'label': 'Emoticons' // or 'labelMsg': 'section-emoticons-label' for a localized label } } } ); // To add a group to an existing toolbar section: $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'section': 'emoticons', 'groups': { 'faces': { 'label': 'Faces' // or use labelMsg for a localized label, see above } } } ); // To add a button to an existing toolbar group: $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'section': 'emoticons', 'group': 'faces', 'tools': { 'smile': { label: 'Smile!', // or use labelMsg for a localized label, see above type: 'button', icon: 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Gnome-face-smile.svg/22px-Gnome-face-smile.svg.png', action: { type: 'encapsulate', options: { pre: ":)" // text to be inserted } } } } } ); // To add a booklet section: $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'sections': { 'info': { 'type': 'booklet', 'label': 'Info' } } } ); // To add a page to an existing booklet section $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'section': 'info', 'pages': { 'colors': { 'layout': 'table', 'label': 'Colors', 'headings': [ { text: 'Name' }, // or use textMsg for localization, see also above { text: 'Temperature' }, { text: 'Swatch' } ], 'rows': [ { 'name': { text: 'Red' }, 'temp': { text: 'Warm' }, 'swatch': { html: '<div style="width:10px;height:10px;background-color:red;">' } }, { 'name': { text: 'Blue' }, 'temp': { text: 'Cold' }, 'swatch': { html: '<div style="width:10px;height:10px;background-color:blue;">' } }, { 'name': { text: 'Silver' }, 'temp': { text: 'Neutral' }, 'swatch': { html: '<div style="width:10px;height:10px;background-color:silver;">' } } ] } } } ); // To add a special characters page $j( '#wpTextbox1' ).wikiEditor( 'addToToolbar', { 'section': 'info', 'pages': { 'emoticons': { 'layout': 'characters', 'label': 'Emoticons', 'characters': [ ':)', ':))', ':(', '<3', ';)' ] } } } ); } ); } </source> === Existing sections === The default WikiEditor toolbar has the following sections: *The ''main'' section which is always visible, with the groups ''format'' and ''insert''. *The ''advanced'' section, with the groups ''heading'', ''format'', ''size'', ''insert'' and ''search''. *The ''characters'' section, with pages ''latin'', ''latinextended'', ''ipa'', ''symbols'', ''greek'', ''cyrillic'', ''arabic'', ''hebrew'', ''bangla'', ''telugu'', ''sinhala'' and ''gujarati'' *The ''help'' section, with pages ''format'', ''link'', ''heading'', ''list'', ''file'', ''reference'' and ''discussion''. == Removing things == TODO == Modifying things == <div style="border:1px solid red; padding:5px"> '''Warning''': Binding doesn't seem to work with <code>$j()</code> but does work if called with addOnloadHook.

Most of them are project specific, and some projects may want to use them while others won't. Also, many of the icons are only used in some situations (e.g. if I never edit equations the extra squared root icon is useless, on sv-wikt we ''never'' add categories manually, and the "common use" icons are only useful in some types of discussions). I'd rather see that there's a system so that it's easy for a project to add/remove icons, and for the user to choose/unchoose some of those.

This consisted of ten one-on-one in-person interviews and eight remote interviews. Sessions began with a brief interview about participants’ computer use in general, and their past experience with Wikipedia. In this usability testing, participants from a representative sample of website users were observed as they performed a set of predetermined tasks from a script. The 75-minute sessions were led and moderated by an experienced Usability Specialist. Throughout the session, the UX Specialist asked additional questions to clarify and expand on participant responses. This process helped to create an understanding of how users interact with the website and illuminates potential usability problems. The primary research goals were to: * evaluate the progress/improvements made by the stanton team in reducing the obstacles that novice users encounter in editing a Wikipedia article, including—but not limited to—adding personal content, fixing a typo, adding a reference, formatting content, and creating an article. * evaluate the new prototype interaction with templates * evaluate the effects of template collapsing. === Target audience === Participants were chosen based on the segmentation agreed on by gotomedia and Wikipedia, focusing on Wikipedia users who had limited or no editing experience. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |- !

A banner/alert was placed and displayed at the top of every 1 in 100 Wikipedia pages for the duration of 3 days. When users viewed our message by clicking, they were forwarded to ethnio recruiting system where we asked them a series of questions. Specifically, users were asked about what they were doing on Wikipedia, how often they used Wikipedia, if they had ever contributed to Wikipedia (and in what manner), their age, gender, location, and availability. Based on these criteria, the 3,000+ users who responded to our survey were filtered down to 500 viable subjects based on their answers to these questions. The team and gotomedia worked with Fleischman Field Research to contact, filter, and schedule these participants based on a further phone conversation covering their Wikipedia usage patterns, reasons for not contributing, talkative and o === Study Participants === ==== Remote Testing ==== {| class="wikitable" |- !

An almost identical script was used for the lab subjects and the remote subjects, the discrepancies being entirely related to the difference in set up. The script aimed to see how users would attempt to and feel about a collection of tasks or objectives that first time and early Wikipedians frequently encounter in their editing process including, but not limited to: * Finding and using the various modes of editing ("edit this page" vs. section edits) * Adding personal content or information to an existing article * Looking at Discussion Pages * Adding comment/thread to a discussion page. * Adding or using content from an external source (website, paper, etc) * Adding a reference to content * Adding an external link to a list or section of links * Editing an article that uses a template * Editing an infobox through wikisyntax and pop ups * Formatting content (Headers, bold, italics, linking, tables) * Creating a table and new article * Fixing a typo <br> Though the script was generally task based, the questions were open ended and left room for interpretation, encouraging subjects to not try to complete the tasks in any "correct" way, but rather to go about them naturally, if they had felt the motivation to do so on their own. Open-ended interview questions including "How did you find that process?" regularly follow every "task". The script was piloted on one staff member of gotomedia, a reader (but not editor) of Wikipedia prior to any official testing. * View the actual Moderator Script [[Moderator Script III | here]]. === Lab Interviews === === Remote Interviews === == Summary of Results (by gotomedia) == === Overview === As a part of the Wikipedia Usability Initiative, the Wikimedia Foundation asked gotomedia to conduct a series of usability tests to evaluate progress toward the Initiative’s overall goal of “measurably increase(ing) the usability of Wikipedia for new contributors.” In previous rounds of testing, Wikipedia and Bolt | Peters uncovered and documented many usability issues that exist in Wikipedia generally, and in the editing process specifically. Our research reaffirmed these previously documented issues such as: * People love Wikipedia. Wikipedia is extremely popular with users. All of the participants we spoke to use the site at least several times a week, and many use it several times a day. * People don’t think they have anything to add. Nearly everyone we interviewed reported that they are reticent to add to Wikipedia because they are not confident in the quality or validity of their own potential contribution. *Wikitext is easy ...and hard. Users are able to make simple text changes to a Wikipedia article with relative ease, but more advanced editing tasks such as creating links, footnotes, and tables proved to be more challenging. * Users learn by example. When confronted with a task that they did not immediately understand, most users looked for examples in the Wikitext and attempted to mimic what other editors had done. * Users are not able to create a new article. Only one of our participants was able to figure out how to start a new article on Wikipedia. These issues are well documented. We did not find anything in our research that significantly contradicts any of the findings of the previous studies. We will focus our comments on more specific editing issues, new functionality that was introduced since the previous tests were conducted, and additional observations not previously documented. === General Editing Issues === Wikitext presents significant barriers to editing. The best way to really open up the editing process to all users would be to hide Wikitext from users altogether. Wikipedia participation will only be truly open to everyone when a true WYSIWYG interface can be developed. There are many technical, cultural, and financial reasons why a true WYSIWYG interface probably won’t be implemented at Wikipedia any time soon, and there are legitimate arguments about whether or not making editing that easy would ultimately be good for Wikipedia. However, if the goal is to truly open up editing to all users, a true WYSIWYG interface would be the best way to accomplish that goal.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“I am not a technical person so I have no idea (how to do this).” -Carrie, 32, Account Manager</span><br/> <span style="color: gray;">“...seems like that would be so much easier than dealing with code. The way it’s doing it now, it seems to be keeping some people out. It seems exclusionary.” – Phil, 22, Freelance Writer<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“I know my mother couldn’t use this!” – Oliver, 48, Business Analyst<br /></span> New editors need more help. Several users expressed a desire for a short video or tutorial that would give them a basic understanding of the editing process. Many users were observed looking for help in the left hand column of the page, and those that did so expected to find edit-specific information under the Toolbox menu in that left column. <span style="color: gray;">“Some of the things aren’t actually intuitive. So either they could make it more obvious for a novice or lay people, or make a tutorial. (And) make that tutorial really, really obvious for when features are just rolled out.” – Bianca, 22, Intern<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“I think they should highlight the Help and how to contribute. It should be super obvious on the front page. I had no idea and had never tried, but I think if it were more obvious (how easy editing is) then more people like myself would.” – Adam, 21, Student<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“I would likely look at a video. I know Google does that for their suite of apps...” – Clayton, 22, Tutor<br /></span> === Editing Toolbar === The editing toolbar definitely represents an improvement for editors over the tools previously available to them, and the changes made to the toolbar since the previous rounds of testing do appear to facilitate easier editing. Toolbar visibility was improved over the previous design. Some participants still overlooked the toolbar, but most users did eventually find the toolbar on their own. '''Internal links confused many users'''. In the first round of testing by Bolt | Peters, Internal Links and External Links were accomplished using two different tools in the Toolbar. In that scenario, users tended to find one of the link tools, and ignore the other. So in the second round of testing by Bolt | Peters, the two tools were collapsed into a single link tool, and users were expected to choose an Internal vs. External link by selecting a tab at the top of the overlay. But in this scenario, users tended to overlook the tabs. So in this third round of testing by gotomedia, the Internal and External tabs were eliminated, and the overlay would automatically determine which kind of link the user wanted to make, based on what they entered into the “Target page or URL:” field. This was an elegant solution, but still confused many users. Many participants assumed that they would need to enter the full URL of the Wikipedia page they wanted to link to. So they would open a new tab or window, navigate to the target Wikipedia page, copy the URL, and paste it into the Target page or URL field in the overlay. The overlay would then treat the link as external, inserting the full URL into the Wikitext, resulting in a working internal link that displayed as an external link. That is the functionality that in-person participants encountered, but this functionality was changed before the remote interviews were conducted. If remote participants entered a full URL at Wikipedia.org, they were shown a second overlay that said, “The URL you specified looks like it was intended as a link to another wiki page. Do you want to make it an internal link?” With this dialog implemented, participants did end up with the correct link format in their edits. The progression of the Link tool over the course of the usability initiative has grown more and more successful, but there is still some room for improvement. '''The Reference tool''' proved very challenging. None of the participants recognized the tool as “Reference” unless they discovered the mouseover tooltip. Two participants mentioned that they would have expected that icon to mean “bookmark.” When users found the Reference tool and tried to use it to add a citation, they universally failed to accomplish the task correctly. If they highlighted text in the article before clicking the Reference tool, then they were surprised to find that the text “disappeared” from the article when they previewed or published their edits. Few users ever found the text where it had been relocated in the References section of the page. When participants attempted to add a reference without using the Reference tool, they were similarly perplexed by the process. Many users expected to add their reference directly to the References section of the article. So they would use the inline “edit’ link for the References section, and then be completely lost when they found only the {{Reflist}} tag there and none of the actual references they expected to see. Even when users found the Reference entry in Help and tried to mimic it, they still were not sure what information should go where, or how their references would appear on the page.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“That picture does not look like a reference picture to me at all.” – Rob, 30, Student<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“If you clicked reference and a box showed up, like a popup, that let you put in the title and URL of your reference, that seems to me like it would be so much easier than trying to deal with code.” - Phil, 22, Freelance Writer <br /></span> There seemed to be a general confusion about the expected function for the reference tool and the linking tools. For the latter, highlighting is proper. For the former, it is not. Yet, users tended to conflate these two processes together. While these two processes are not, strictly speaking, connected with each other, users do seem to see them as somewhat analogous when it comes to highlighting. Therefore, some exploration should be done to consider how these two processes can be better aligned. '''The term “Advanced”''' scared some users away. The Advanced label intimidated some users. Those that were already feeling overwhelmed by the editing tasks said that they were already in over their heads, and did not want to add anything that was “advanced.” In previous testing, participants expressed that they were overwhelmed by the large number of tools in the toolbar. The Advanced section was implemented to hide the less-often used tools until they were needed. This was a good direction to take, but the labeling should be reconsidered. <span style="color: gray;">“Advanced should be called something different like formatting because advanced scares people.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager <br /></span> '''Help is indeed helpful''', but could be expanded. Users appreciated the presence of the Help ‘cheat sheet’ embedded in the editing interface. The embedded placement represents a significant improvement over previous designs in which users had to interrupt their editing tasks to go find the cheat sheet on their own. However, the cheat sheet does not include the new tools in the toolbar. Several users went to the Help section to investigate how to make a reference for example, but the cheat sheet does not direct them to use the Reference tool.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">(Clayton was asked to add a Reference) “I am trying to find a help button. (He opens Help module.) I like this and I can look at it and edit at the same time. I like it a lot. ...I am trying to add this reference. I don’t know what “test” in quotations means. I guess this is the link outside, ...additional text...and reference. I would just try it.” (Then after struggling with the Wikitext for several minutes): ...Oh I guess I overlooked this. (He finds the Reference button.)” – Clayton, 22, Tutor<br /></span> Participants did not understand the '''Embedded File tool'''. Participants were not asked to complete a task using the Embedded File tool, but several of them commented on the tool. Nearly all users who commented on the tool said that they expected the tool to insert a picture. But the mouseover tooltip “Embedded File” confused them. If they clicked the tool, then they found that the markup that was inserted included “.jpg”. This confirmed their first thought that the tool was for inserting a picture, but left them wondering why the tooltip didn’t simply say “Insert Picture.” The Insert Picture Gallery tool added to the confusion. Both icons were read as “Insert Picture”, but users did not understand why there would be two tools, and why the tooltips were different. <span style="color: gray;">“This embedded file is not well-named. Should be embedded photo because I don’t know the difference between photos and files.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager<br /></span> === Navigable Table of Contents === Participants universally liked the [[Navigable Table of Contents]] (NTOC). Not all participants noticed the NTOC without prompting, but once they did, they seemed to understand it quickly. Some did not experiment with clicking the NTOC. Those that did understood its function immediately. <span style="color: gray;">“The table of contents is also very helpful because this is a very long article. The table of contents is helpful, a nice little map.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“The right hand navigational part... It makes sense and it’s a lot more useful than what Wikipedia usually has.” – Bianca, 22, Intern<br /></span> Participants were pleasantly surprised to see a new section appear in the NTOC immediately. Users were asked to create a new section in an article. Many users stumbled a bit on this task. Some assumed that they would need to edit the TOC directly, and so began looking for an inline ‘edit’ link for the TOC. Others looked for a tool to help them create a new section. But once participants began examining the Wikitext, most found the existing headings and were successfully able to mimic them. Once they did, nearly all of them were surprised to see the new section appear immediately in the NTOC. Participants found this immediate feedback to be very reassuring. This is perhaps the only example in the editing interface where users get instant confirmation that their edits are being made successfully.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“It’s nice that the headlines are automatic. That they automatically create a table of contents.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager<br /></span> === Preview === The Preview state needs clear visual cues. Participants often confused the Preview state with the Read state. Users would make an edit in Wikitext, click Preview to confirm the edit, and then forget that they were in Edit mode. They would click links in the article and not understand why the links did not work, or they would click an inline ‘edit’ link to try to make another edit and find that the edit link simply did not respond. Particularly for new editors, this could lead to a feeling that they had broken the page or done something wrong.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“I didn’t like the fact that when I was on a Read page that it just didn’t look any different from the Edit page.” – Tram, 30, Student<br /></span> Some users were reluctant to use Preview. Some participants went immediately to Publish rather than to Preview after making an edit in Wikitext. In most cases they simply did not notice the Preview option. But in some cases participants continued to use Publish rather than Preview, even after Preview was pointed out to them. This may have been due to the special circumstances of the testing setting. During testing, participants were encouraged not to worry too much about the accuracy of their edits, so that we could concentrate on the editing process. This may have led participants to be more comfortable with publishing than they would have been in a natural editing scenario.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“I usually just publish it and make changes after. I’m usually scared of losing my edits even in Word Press. It’s really easy to navigate out of page and it rarely saves itself. I usually publish first.” – Bianca, 22, Intern<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“Preview: I didn’t see it at first, probably because I wasn’t looking for it. ...you automatically want to go with pushing the (Publish) button next. So maybe moving the Preview over here (near Publish on the right side).” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager<br /></span> Link behavior in Previewmode needs more attention. Currently, most links do not work in Preview mode. Links to References do work when the full article is being edited. These same reference links do not work when a single section of an article is being edited. Study participants frequently tried to use links in Preview mode. One commonly observed scenario proceeded this way: # Use the Edit tab to display Wikitext for an entire page # Make an edit # Click the Preview tab # Scroll down to find and confirm the edit # Realize that the edit was incorrect or that another edit was needed. # Click the inline ‘edit’ link to correct the edit # Nothing happens. The inline ‘edit’ link doesn’t work and the user does not understand why. If the Preview pane is to remain within the primary editing window, then a consistent, predictable behavior must be developed to handle links within Preview mode. That behavior could be enabling all links, enabling certain kinds of links, or disabling all links. For any links that are disabled, users should receive clear consistent feedback about why the link does not work as expected. If a user clicks a link that is disabled, a dialog should instruct the user, “You are previewing this article. Links do not work in Preview mode. Return to the full article to enable links.“ Our recommendation is that at least some kinds of links should work in Preview, including newly-added links, links to references, and inline ‘edit’ links. Inline ‘edit’ links provide a more immediate way for the editor to correct their edits. If for some reason inline ‘edit’ links cannot be enabled in Preview, then they should be hidden in Preview mode. Preview behavior should be consistent. The behavior of the Preview tab at the top of the page differed from the behavior of the Show Preview button at the bottom of the page. The Preview tab would replace the Wikitext pane with the Preview pane, while the Show Preview button would display the Preview pane above the Wikitext pane. If a user used one method to access Preview mode and then used the other, they were frequently confused by this inconsistent behavior. === Publish === Users do not understand the meaning of “Minor edit.” During the publishing process, editors are presented with the option to check a box indicating that their edit is a “Minor edit”. Nearly all participants checked this box, assuming that because the changes that they had made were relatively small, that they would be classified as “minor.” In fact, Wikipedia would have classified the majority of edits made during the study as ‘major’.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“I’ve never figured out what minor edit means. I usually click on it since all my edits are small so I would assume that’s what it is.” – Bianca, 22, Intern<br /></span> Links in the Publish overlay are not recognizable. When users click the Publish button, this overlay displays: Many participants mentioned that they did not understand all of the items mentioned in this overlay, particularly the license information. But none of our participants discovered that this overlay contains links that lead to more information. None of the links on this overlay display as such. === Infobox Editing === Several users expressed an affinity for the infobox. They look to the infobox for relevant statistics and “hard information.” They appreciate the immediacy of the infobox and the way that it “surfaces” important information for easy access. When participants were asked to edit information in the infobox, many expressed surprise or even doubt that the information there was editable. Some believed that the information in infoboxes was automatically populated from external sources, and/or that there would be additional barriers to editing this content. Users expressed more confidence in the accuracy of content in the infobox, as compared to content in the main article.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“In the past couple of years they have added this right hand window with key facts and I love it. It’s very easy. It’s easy to get all the key info on the right.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager<br /></span> Users had a hard time figuring out how to edit the Infobox. When prompted to edit information in the infobox, most users looked for a corresponding inline ‘edit’ link. They often clicked an inline ‘edit’ link that happened to display near the infobox. When that did not work, they then used the Edit tab to display Wikitext for the full page, and looked for something that would correspond to the infobox in the NTOC. Very few participants recognized the infobox settlement template capsule as the place to edit the infobox without prompting. (More on the template capsule below). Participants also struggled to name the infobox. When looking for a way to edit it, they didn’t know what the infobox was called, and so didn’t know exactly what they were looking for. “The infobox could be named something else. I don’t know, but I can’t think of another clever name. But it’s not obvious that’s what this is. I’d say “the side bar” maybe. ...I don’t know.” – Caroline, 25, Project Manger<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“Well there are lots of these little things (templates). So it just looked like everything else here. Its because of the name. We don’t know what to call it.” – Oliver, 48, Business Analyst<br /></span> === Template Capsules === Templates were introduced to the editing interface in an effort to further hide markup, and increase the readability of Wikitext. They are largely successful in that effort, but the design and implementation of the template capsules need refinement to improve understanding of their use and function. Some users couldn’t see past the triangle. Template capsules offered two primary means of editing the markup they represent. Editors could expand the capsule to show the full markup by clicking the triangle icon on the left of the capsule, or they could click the capsule title to open up an editing wizard. About half of our participants clicked the arrow first, and assumed that was the only way they could interact with the capsule. They had to be prompted to click elsewhere on the capsule to discover the wizard. The opposite was also true. There was, however, no correlation between the function discovered and the user’s comfortableness with editing Wikitext directly. Therefore, a code-anxious user may click the expand arrow, and be stuck, or a code-friendly user might pop the overlay, and be frustrated. So, rather than providing options to two types of users, the UI has the potential of confounding both while serving neither. Given that the test participants were inexperienced editors, we found that once these participants had seen both the wizard and the direct Wikitext for the infobox, they universally preferred using the wizard overlay to make edits. <span style="color: gray;">“It’s not clear that this is a pop down for easy editing vs. a drop down for wiki(text) editing” – Caroline, 25, Project Manager</span> Blue text in capsules indicated to some users that they were external links. Half of the participants in the study were shown template capsules with black text, and half were shown template capsules with blue underlined text. Some of the participants who saw blue text assumed that the blue text indicated a regular hyperlink. They were therefore reluctant to click the capsule for fear of being taken away from the editing task at hand. On the other hand, with black text on the gray background, there is some concern that the capsules blend in to the code too much and do not invite editors to explore them.<br /> <span style="color: gray;">“OK. It scared me for a sec that it looks like they were going to hyperlink. Usually when they are blue and underlined... but no, they just go down.” – Bianca, 22, Intern<br /></span> <span style="color: gray;">“You can tell its going to link you to somewhere else because we saw that the links are like that, and the references are like that, so we know that you’re going somewhere else...” – Sara, 21, Student<br /></span> The wizard icon on template capsules had no meaning to users. None of the users who mentioned the icon had any idea what it might signify. Recommendations: Consider dropping the icon in favor of the word “edit”. The word “edit” will invite editors to click, and will do a better job of conveying the outcome of a click. “Edit” should be displayed in a different style than the title of the template (a different color, font and/or weight) to help distinguish it from the title and increase “clickability.” Text in templates needs to be searchable. When participants were asked to edit the population of a city displayed in the infobox, one of the primary strategies they employed to find the correct place to edit was to use Firefox’s Find function to search for the word “population”. But unless template capsules were expanded, then the word population did not appear on the page , and so was not found in the search. This completely flummoxed participants. They knew that the word “population” must be present in the Wikitext because they could see it in the Read version of the page, and yet Find couldn’t find it. === Future Work === Overall, we found that the Wikipedia Usability Initiative was successful in the endeavors we tackled to improve the editing process. Namely, the cleaner skin and tabbed navigation made for simpler and faster navigation; the simpler and more graphic toolbar offers more intuitive controls to enter wikitext than the old toolbar; the dialogs proved valuable in generating wikitext; the navigable table of contents both helps people navigate large articles and provides a snippet of real time updates; the integrated help proviced quick and easy access to common tasks (and avoided verbose help pages and navigation to another page); and templates improve the readability of wikitext. From where we started, we have improved the ease of the editing process, however it is still somewhat beyond the reach of an "average user" and there is still much to be done. The first of our work will include iterating on the features that didn't fully solve the problems we were trying to address. '''Templates''': As mentioned above, template "capsules" proved very effective and hiding the complex wiki syntax, providing easier access to an article's body content. However, the interaction to access this template syntax needs to be improved. The "pop up" mode was universally preferred for new users, and though we did not test with advanced users, we know through feedback that they still require direct access to this code. We will be working on a solution that hides this wiki syntax while still providing access to the breadth of users that needs to edit it. '''Preview and Publish''': Users interactions illustrate the need for side-by-side or in page preview. The preview tab that we added worked well, but users struggled to differentiate between the editing and previewing states. We additionally need to refine the flow to not cause the confusion mentioned above to bring users to save their content. '''Navigable Table of Contents''': The navigable table of contents, as a feature, proved its value in our study and is ready for deployment. However, more QA and browser/os compatibility work needs to be completed before this can happen. As we move forward, we will also continue to bring the Wikipedia/Mediawiki editor closer to the publishing tools (read: rich text editing tools) that users expect. Additionally, we will also begin to look at the broader user experience and many of the issues we surfaced last March that we could not address in the editing experience alone. In carrying out this work, we have developed and improved the organizational processes, testing, and tools as well as the volunteer community involvement necessary to forge ahead. == Video Highlights == * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WIK-P_EditingTools.ogv Editing Tools] * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WIK-P_Impressions.ogv Progress Impressions] * [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WIK-P_WorkToDo.ogv Still More Work Ahead] == Notes == * The team's rough notes from the interviews are [[Usability, Experience, and Evaluation Study/Notes|here]]. * gotomedia's Notes [[Category:Usability studies]] bmuphfjjg39v8x4y5292l986i396nzr 0 971 5876 2010-02-17T19:26:04Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 moved [[Toolbar icons Wishlist]] to [[Additionally Vector Toolbar Icons]] 5876 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Additionally Vector Toolbar Icons]] phhs5iwj9gbftjveolr60sfateotmxe 1 972 5878 2010-02-17T19:26:05Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 moved [[Talk:Toolbar icons Wishlist]] to [[Talk:Additionally Vector Toolbar Icons]] 5878 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Talk:Additionally Vector Toolbar Icons]] qig8xqblpwmr1mjg7d34wqa8zugekdd 6 973 5881 2010-02-18T00:38:30Z Parul Vora~usabilitywiki 185 5881 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 0 974 5892 5891 2010-02-18T19:18:34Z Howief (WMF) 1286 5892 wikitext text/x-wiki Please follow these 4 steps to turn off the Beta Features '''1.

The team is targeting the following features for the release: '''Dialogues:''' We are introducing dialoges with Citron. These features were originally released under Babaco, but were disabled due to issues with the iFrame. :*'''Links:''' The new [[:Image:Babaco_link_dialog_example.jpg | link dialog]] allows users to more easily create links, both links to pages within the wiki (“internal links”) as well as link to other pages on the web (“external links”). When creating links, the link suggest feature automatically suggest internal pages based on what you’ve entered. :*'''Tables:''' The [[:Image:Babaco_table_dialog.jpg| table dialog]] automatically generates wiki-text for tables based on a given width and height and lets you add a header row with one check of a box. :*'''Search and replace:''' Also new in this release is the [[:Image:Babaco_search_replace.jpg | search and replace tool]] which enables users to search for text and replace while editing. '''Toolbar Reorganization: ''' The toolbar layout will be revised based on click-tracking data from our users. '''Page Clean-up:''' We are simplifying the edit page by cleaning up the footer and licensing information. '''Side-by-Side Preview''' ''(under My Preferences):'' We are introducing a simpler method of viewing previewing changes by allowing users to preview their changes within the same editing window. This feature is available under the Editing tab in "My Preferences". '''Template Collapsing and Editing''' ''(For Usability Testing Only):'' Templates have long been a source of confusion for our editors, particularly novice ones. We are making template editing easier by providing the following features. For the upcoming release, these features will be available for Firefox 3, though we plan on expanding browser coverage shortly. :* '''Collapsing:''' In the editor, templates will be collapsed into a "capsule." Templates are often difficult for novice users to understand and can be a distraction to their editing. Collapsing the templates into capsules cleans up the editing space so that the template wikitext is less of a distraction. These capsules may be expanded into either the original wikitext or a user-friendly form. :* '''Form-based editing:''' The form-based template editor will enable users unfamiliar with wikitext to edit the content of a template with an easy to use web form.

Workflows we've identified on Wikimedia projects are basically of three types: * '''issues''' that needs to be resolved * '''tasks''' that should be done * community '''processes'''. We use the word "'''ticket'''" to refer to any of these types. == Issue management == ;Applicable workflows * Incomplete uploads (only for user-specific view) * Copyright issues (including obvious and suspected copyright violations) * Inappropriate personally identifiable information (not a priority at the moment; maybe at some point an integrated system can be used to replace OTRS / mailing lists requests) * Offensive content, nonsense * Factual error * Typography, grammar, spelling, conjugation deletion & maintenance * speedy deletion : common reasons and/or custom message * RfD: same, longer rationale * skim through [[:commons:Category:User_scripts|Category:User_scripts]] and gadgets in [[:commons:Special:Preferences|Preferences]] * Report an issue: [[Multimedia:"Report an issue" wizard]] / Create a ticket manually == Tasks == ;Applicable workflows * tasks, todo lists ; assignment of tasks * patrol of new pages (and new edits?) * tasks: target date * edit protected page * double redirects * links to disambiguation pages * etc. == Processes == ;Applicable workflows * content promotion (FP, QI; VP) * OTRS confirmation == Commonalities & Interface == Commonalities * rationale * discussions * link(s) to the page, preview of the file * list / queue of items * notification of the uploader / the creator of the page / people who edited the page the most / people watching the page * expiry date / deadline; possibility to extend / renew * batch actions?

We are using unicode sort, which groups related langs together. Should move to the planned universal language typeahead widget Uses languages to group like so: lang = English , description = "foobar", you get <nowiki>{en|1=foobar}</nowiki>. And so on for each language. It is permissible to have a description in "unknown language". Or multiple descriptions. In that case the form simply doesn't wrap it in a language template. If you have multiple "unknown language" you get them all concatted together and mixed in with actual lang-template-wrapped descriptions. This seems bogus to me, under what circumstances do you not know the language you're entering? (editing is different). We should make 'unknown language' an error. === Licensing === ====Own work + CC-BY-SA-3.0 + GFDL==== * Information template: <nowiki><h2>{{int:filedesc}}</h2> {{Information |Description={{en|1=This is my description of what it all is}} |Source={{own}} |Author=[[User:NeilK|NeilK]] |Date= |Permission= |other_versions= }} </nowiki> * License template: <nowiki>{{self|cc-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}}</nowiki> * added immediately to categories (server-side; we don't have to do anything); request paran pprop=text|categories to see :CC-BY-SA-3.0 :License_migration_redundant :GFDL :Self-published_work ====Third party ==== I do not know the license: <nowiki>{{subst:nld}}</nowiki> Strangely, we are allowed to assert "ownwork" here.

Then during posting, simply emits category wikitext, e.g. :<nowiki>[[Category:Foo]][[Category:Bar]]</nowiki> HotCats recently added up arrows and down arrows to select supercategories or subcategories of the currently-selected category. You can only do this after you've added the category already. However, once you're in super- or sub- browsing mode, you can keep going in that direction. When you finally make a selection, that replaces the current category. This seems like a very difficult feature to explain to new users, and also overlaps with the question of how to create a new subcategory on the fly. If I'm looking for Animalia, Felix, Felix domesticus, and then there's no Felix domesticus canhazcheeseburger then what? Why can't I just make it, with the appropriate parentage? This is why tags are soooo much easier than categories. Why do we keep trying to make this work? According to Lupo (author of HotCats) expert users have requested it. We should find out what the real use cases are. ==Feature implementations== It is considered desirable to automatically "fix" filenames; that is, when there is a file naming conflict, to immediately rename the file to something like "conflict title 2". There are some issues with that: * Discovering a title which is not in conflict is an O(n) operation from the client side. What if there are 12 or more such files? We will be waiting for 12 API calls. * Adding random letters or numbers to a title is not helpful to people using the repository * What if the user really did want to replace a file? We have to defer to a more convoluted interface later... Had a chat with RobLa on this and we came up with another idea: when a conflict is discovered, offer them semantically meaningful options, derived from other metadata. For instance, a message like: --------- There already is a media file with the title 'Nicolas Sarkozy' in Wikimedia Commons. { Preview } If your file has *exactly* the same content except with better quality, you should replace it. { Replace it } Otherwise, please make your title meaningfully unique: :* Nicolas Sarkozy at 2010-04-22 in Toulouse, France (Data derived from EXIF) :* Nicolas Sarkozy in Toulouse, France :* Nicolas Sarkozy, 2010-04-22 19:59:00 :* Nicolas Sarkozy viewed from ( FILL IN BLANK ) :* Nicolas Sarkozy wearing ( FILL IN BLANK ) :* Nicolas Sarkozy at ( FILL IN BLANK ) :* Nicolas Sarkozy with ( FILL IN BLANK ) :* Nicolas Sarkozy at 2010-04-22 19:59:00 by UserName" :* Nicolas Sarkozy ( FILL IN BLANK ) --------- Some suggested titles are more appropriate for people, others for buildings or objects. Advantage here is we will not have to make O(n) API calls to find unique suggestions, even client side. And if we build the feature server side we can make it even better. dvkdnuc87d8gt4v5vw0j2tdzpi0u5p8 100 1008 6054 2010-03-12T00:07:14Z Guillom 13 moved [[Multimedia:NewUpload]] to [[Multimedia:Upload wizard]]: reorg 6054 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Multimedia:Upload wizard]] 6h8l6b7tji32aoi6zw4zqyfbxcd6kgv 101 1009 6056 2010-03-12T00:07:14Z Guillom 13 moved [[Multimedia talk:NewUpload]] to [[Multimedia talk:Upload wizard]]: reorg 6056 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Multimedia talk:Upload wizard]] 2kj3zq6ccl6qg58s6zxvi50elzj811u 2 1013 6067 2010-03-12T18:05:33Z LuandK 1635 création ; + 6067 wikitext text/x-wiki Voir ma [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:LuandK page personnelle] sur Wikipédia.org. nzvsosdc73lptmehoffsyui1rsx2a49 101 1014 6456 6072 2010-04-06T00:00:31Z Guillom 13 fix link 6456 wikitext text/x-wiki I noticed the link to this on [[Multimedia:Specifications]] (Don't know if this is right place to mention this). Just wanted to mention, as a result of some of the javascript used on wikinews for the latest news ticker, we have a very rudiementry slideshow thingy. Its rudimentry since the primary goal of the thing on wikinews was not image slideshows, but news tickers. However the code might make a good starting point for making slideshows. Just thought i'd mention it here in case its useful. Demo link at [[:en:n:User:Bawolff/sandbox/ticker]]. Cheers.

I totally agree that technical metaphors are a problematic issue to non technically oriented people and thus should be fought. On the other hand, most barriers are conequerable with some :Ideally those would filter participants (to Wikipedia) by motivation, not by technical knowledge. Thus I prefer simpler systems that need some kind of effort to adapt to them. Maybe you can substantiate or deny this by more scientific means? Maybe some studies about motivation vs. adaption to the existing user interfaces. == wikipedia nu upayo ginchu ko valani undi.telugu lo 4 pustakala rachayeta nayena manchi vayasa rachana patima unnaa telugu typing radana korata nuadhigamin chaa la ni undi wikepediaku dhanya vadamulu == wikepedia ku dhanya vaadamulu.telugulo 4 pustakaala racha yata naye na telugu padaala tho naalugu vaakyaaluraayaaalani aasa.andamina baasha lo raya badina jeevanabandham manovislashana pustakam aandhra desam lo san chalanam create chestunnadi.vaya saala rupamlo narachnapatima nu ee veb prapanchaniki telapalaniundi-ALAPARTI PITCHAIAH CHOUDARY.JointSecretary[retd]BIE AP Govt.HYD.7-169Ngo colony KADAPA-516002AP.alapartic15@gmail.com.jeebvanabandham blogspot.com.mobile9849919185 == translation == I translated this document into Japanese on [[:w:ja:Wikipedia:使用性改善]].--[[User:青子守歌|青子守歌]] 13:40, 30 May 2010 (UTC) kjjaak0gzr9hsg81cxxcmj0l9lh2whj 0 1036 6182 6181 2010-03-23T23:10:59Z 216.38.133.254 6182 wikitext text/x-wiki If a feature is not available for a given Usability N account but is for Usability M, the following causes are possible: * User JS/CSS out of sync ** Make sure [[User:Usability N/vector.js]] and [[User:Usability N/vector.css]] are in sync with their M counterparts ** Purge client cache (Shift+Refresh) * Preference has disappeared ** Check values of wgWikiEditorEnabledModules and wgVectorEnabledModules in Firebug console.

Hold in high regard in accuracy - very accurate form of providing information. Gotten more popular and I stuck with it. * I take from, I don't feel like I'm in a position to give my input on a lot of thing because I don't have the expertise to edit. I work in biological sciences - no mistakes. Have been thinking about adding things about where I live. * Had a class project on a wiki - used webping like editing a some html not a lot - add pictures, text, hyperlinks. Other people are doing it at the same time. Edit it, submit it, approved in some way. Or not approved * Uses a table of contents to navigate the article. * 09:32 previews - that's pretty cool * RAINBOW BALLS * internal link - changes text * 15:00 would rather do it in the edit box * learns wikitext from having seen and used it from the dialog - deterred from dialog because of changing text. * googles for help * i tend not to go for help - usually google stuff out of habit * 21:20 cheatsheet - this is pretty neat, this helps me do different things. alright. i like this because i can look at it and edit at the same time. * uses external links because reflist is unintelligible. * i would keep playing around with it until i got it right * wouldn't really think to much about adding a reference unless i was doing scientific stuff * 35:55 had a knack for glancing over things. if i had to, an assignment to edit a wiki entry, i would like a video. i know google does that for it's suite of applications. (SEND THIS CLIP TO FRANK/OUTREACH). get me started kind of video - those couple things we did. * 37:00 one introduction! * now that i'm playing around with it, i'm interested in what else we can do. * 39:00 do good stuff * not sure how the verifcation process works. * 41:00 that would be a cool video too * the process made it easy, but i go to wikipedia to get information. this is kind of an eye opener for me. it's not hard at all. * talk: would talk about the process, but don't know who would mediate. this could be a magical land where everyone agrees. * what's to stop.....i'm familiar with vandalism. wikipedia police? this is neat, i might start going to the discussion part of an article. chat board. * everything above this ball....i don't even really look at. * opens up another page to look at that. * doesn't see the need for 1st level heading * maybe flip flop these? * edit template is more in the same them of what i'm doing in this wiki text. * lost on making a new article. * everyone looks in left navigation for it. * navigates left navigation with ease. * slightly confusing interaction on dialogs * table of contents on the right and how i can skip to things really quick. the markup was really easy. * once i feel like i have more confidence in having expertise in an area! * ctrl-v * play around with things * 1:15 need to have copy * part of our language. no one edits. i've never seen anyone edit. i think one time we were debating (someone) was dead. * 1:16 i'm glad that wikipedia is getting people to edit. would blow my mind. i like wikipedia because i feel like there is truth in the voices of the masses. this is a good way for all of those voices to come together. reality is seen to wikipedia. more people editing = greater accuracy. * ==Group notes== Search: 2:40 Google -> Wikipedia Doesn't go to wp first and search from wp to find out how to add sources to wikipedia, he googled "how to add references to wikipedia" Thinks wikipedia is very accurate "wp is something i take from" doesn't feel he has expertise to contribute; "all that stuff is pretty solid, don't see many mistakes"; may edit local stuff has experience with wikis via class project (wetpaint). editing is "almost like html, but not quite" "approved in some way, or not approved" (thoughts on how the wikipedia article approval process works) /me lets howie write things down NTOC: "this is nifty" found it immediately use to get alot of information "Link" symbol automatically recognized Link dialog doesn't grab "closest link" if in a link Link default text change->not a feature? --Discouraged because the text "randomly changed" "That's pretty convenient." using the wiki link feature Selected text and hit link icon. Link to external page - doesn't like it when text to display = url - since text to display changes, would rather use wikitext to create external links The label, "Wikitext" is understood. "Citation help would be nice." Google searched for Wikipedia "help" Likes the "cheat sheet" in the toolbar, "I can look and type at the same time." - but on most websites, tends not to use help Spending quite a bit of time on adding references... - couldn't figure out syntax, so tried to copy the text from help menu and got something crazy - puzzled how extenal links show up in references, "I just keep playing around it until I get it right." like Victoria, was looking for references in the External links section why haven't we converted all in-text references to out-of-text references? it is now technically possible Compare the existing syntax and his intention, "what I was doing was right." "Pretty easy" (Really? it looked struggle to me. NK) « how would I put a link in my reference? » 31:30 "I only got a number." (implying the number in the references) 34:00 he's confused by the fact that when he wants to display the URL with the URL as label, the code is simply « http://truc.org » instead of « [http://truc.org http://truc.org] » (syntax for other links where the label is different from the URL) "I would like a video, if I am asked to edit Wikipedia." (Getting started, overall sujet would be good.) "Reference icon makes sense, but I'm not familiar with it" he's more familiar with icons from other applications (like Word) License agreement dialog gives a long pause "watch this page" -> email notification? or my edit is verified? "I don't know how Wikipedia is verified." (Thinking there is a body who verifies the content.) Would you edit in the future? "The process made it really easy, and that is not obstacles any more. Yeah." "I don't know where to go.", looking for "discussion" tab "all the information on a wikipedia page is down". First thing he does on a page is to scroll down thinks talk page is where you would discuss conflicts, but is uncertain who mediates. (calls it "chat board" or "message board") "This is neat." (looking at the discussion page) Task: add section --> Goes to hometown (Millbrae) adding section: - opened up a tab with Millbrae (BUT he went to wp home page and entered "millbrae" in wp search box) Opened "help" from the toolbar instead of expanding the toolbar to get advanced option confustion with "1st level heading" and what he sees (second level headings) (same as Victoria -- see also comments there) Task: add table Found the table icon without problems Made connection of rows and columns by looking at the cells in the wikisyntax Task: Templates Goes to the second browser tab to view the article, instead of using the "Read" tab Wants template to be part of NTOC Clicked on expand to wikitext first Rolls up and down and found the infobox capsule Expanded the template using inline expansion (not dialog) "Not as easy as I had hoped for." "drop down menu is safe" since he doesn't think he's gonna go anywhere else with the expand icon Template Dialog: Should it be alphabetized? right now in order of display, but might be disconnect Thinks it's a link Thinks the form icon does something completely different Wants ability to jump to specific part of form eachtime he previews his changes, he has to scroll back up to the top ofthe page to switch to the wikitext view again. It may make sense tohave a continuous view switcher bar on the left of the page orsomething. "I don't want to click links, because it takes me somewhere else" (pointing to the blue underlined capsule names) 59:45 "the drop-down menu is safe" "This is pretty neat too." (looking at the "View History" page) Wishes "Add a page" tab on the top Suggests a wizard Likes: the NTOC on the right reference was easier than i thought What would make you contribute? "One I feel like I have more expertise in an area" In the future, a biography of a colleague that becomes famous stuff that he's passionate about -- he either agrees with or trusts the information Says he would edit small errors (e.g., spelling) Task: Adding images Chose image gallery, inserted a link into a capiton -> does not work "Wikipedia is part of our language, but..." None of his friends would edit, unless it was just for kicks "believes there is truth in voices of the masses" "reality is seen through wikipedia" "(as) more people edit, it(wp) would be more accurate." q264ice5hyaegercyv55dgul615bxss 0 1042 6480 6221 2010-04-07T00:14:31Z 216.38.133.254 6480 wikitext text/x-wiki == Parul's Notes == * student, 5 days a week. * skeptical because you can edit it yourself - but it seems pretty accurate * be like a word document? fix it? has to be approved somewhere so people aren't doing this all day long. i feel like there should be [an approval process] * looks like a word document kind of thing * click click click * fast to publish * copy and pasting - sees in examples from the external links * hits show preview to see if it worked. * editing from within preview mode? * accomplishes it with the *[NASH] rephrase the reference question. *[NASH] mac for tomorrow * confusion about "insert reference text here" * everything but the last minute touches is easy 29:35 * 41:11 what's going on here: ALOT * sees history and viewing history, not editing history * has the correct assumptions about searching for a new page!? * no reason for me to take the time to learn. more advertisement that you can change this. or it's not that hard. == Group Notes == On speech team, so constantly looking things up Uses ~5 days/week a little skeptical since you can edit yourself, but seems pretty accurate why not edit? hasn't seen anything which needs editing "that was very easy to do. . .i'm not sure. . ."

Should be "New features" 8023 wikitext text/x-wiki {{FAQLang}} ==What's changed?== We're making several changes to the user interface. First, we are introducing a new skin named "Vector". This new skin should make common functions easier to find. We've also introduced a number of improvements to the editing interface, including an improved editing toolbar, dialogs to help with tasks such as inserting links and tables, and a built-in "cheatsheet" to help users access the most commonly used functions. Finally, we've changed the site layout by simplifying the overall navigation and moving the search box to a more intuitive location (see the blog post [http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/06/usability-why-did-we-move-the-search-box/ "Why did we move the search box?"] for a more detailed explanation of this change). We hope our users will find the changes helpful. For those who want to continue using the original features, there will be a 'Take me back' link at the top of the page. ==Why are you making these changes?== Wikipedia and the other projects operated by the Wikimedia Foundation are written and edited by volunteers. When knowledgeable people cannot participate in editing Wikipedia because they find it too confusing or difficult to edit articles, it is a serious problem that undermines the potential quality, breadth and depth of the content that we can offer to you. In other words, even if you don't contribute content, the easier we can make it for knowledgeable people to join our projects, the more useful our resources become to you. When it was first developed, the software running Wikipedia was considered reasonably user-friendly. By today's standards, it is not as streamlined nor user-friendly as other software. That's why we're making a series of important changes, beginning with the first release of new software in April, to make Wikipedia better. ==How was it decided that these changes would be implemented?== Starting in January 2009, we built a small team to assess and improve the usability and user experience of Wikipedia and its sister projects. The first Usability and Experience Study took place in March 2009. We've shared all [[UX Study|documentations and videos]] from the study. Based on the findings of the study, we implemented a series of improvements that have been made available for public testing starting in August 2009. This was followed by further iterations and fixes based on user feedback, culminating in a second user study which took place in October 2009 ([[Usability, Experience, and Progress Study|documentation]]), which have validated some of our changes, and led us to making further improvements. The release that we're deploying in April represents the set of changes that are well-tested and have been used by more than 500,000 users through our beta program. An average of 80% of users who tried the beta program stayed in it, and we've collected extensive feedback from other users on their reasons for leaving the program. This feedback was used to make further changes, many of which were related to language-specific issues. We've shared full documentation of our [[Beta_Feedback_Survey|beta retention data and user feedback]].) ==Why aren't you making bigger changes to the user interface?== This is just the beginning. We've made a set of additional changes that are still undergoing active testing and development. You can see these changes on our [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/ prototype site]. After validating these changes through user research, we'll be making further tweaks, pushing towards a second release later this year. We've made user experience a permanent effort at the Wikimedia Foundation. From now on, regular changes and improvements to the interface, not just aimed at first-time editors, but also at readers and experienced editors, are business-as-usual. Specifically, we will assess the best strategy to implement rich-text editing on Wikipedia and its sister projects. ==Will this change be deployed in all languages?== This change was initially be deployed to Wikimedia Commons early April. The English Wikipedia will followup on May 13 starting at 5:00am UTC, and Wikipedia in all languages and other Wikimedia Foundation projects will update at a later period of time. Our international volunteer community, working through translatewiki.net, is still working hard to make sure that we have the best possible localization coverage for the launch. If you want to help, please see the step-by-step guide on [http://translatewiki.net/ translatewiki.net]. == Where did the watch tab go? == You can watch/unwatch a page by clicking the star in the toolbar where the "Read", "Edit" and "View History" buttons are. ==How can users make sure their user scripts, user styles, gadgets and external tools will still work?== By testing them with the new settings, you will be able to verify compatibility and resolve any issues. By clicking the “Try Beta” link at the top of any page, and then opting into the beta, you will have turned on the same settings which will be made default. Another way to test skin compatibility is to append “?useskin=vector” to the end of the URL of a page. For example, the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation?useskin=vector to see how the page would look using the Vector skin. ==How do I turn off the new features?== If you'd like to turn off the new features, please follow these steps: # Log into your account # Click on the "New features" link in the upper right portion of the page (next to your username) # Go to the "Take Me Back" section of the "New features" page and click on the link to turn off the new features You may always turn the new features back on by visiting the "New features" page again. ==Why don't the scripts (monobook.js) and styles (monobook.css) work any more?== If you would like to continue to use your custom code in the [[m:vector|vector skin]], you will need to move and/or adapt your [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js|monobook.js]] to your [[Special:Mypage/vector.js|vector.js]] and [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|monobook.css]] to [[Special:Mypage/vector.css|vector.css]] accordingly. ==Vector customization tips== Here's [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vector the good resource] on customization of Vector. s2k876myj7m5j8f8skjvh7op86k8zm3 1 1047 8910 7765 2010-09-18T15:44:37Z Ningauble 1982 /* Right clicking on Page, Edit, History, Discussion etc. No longer allows multi-tab editing/reading, Why? */ still a problem 8910 wikitext text/x-wiki Please feel free to add further questions or comments you'd like to see explored on the Usability Initiative Questions and Answers page. == Will these changes go into MediaWiki? == A question I can't find the answer to is: ''(when) Will these wonderful changes find their way to MediaWiki?'' Especially the new editing toolbar and upcoming changes to editing in general. If this isn't the place to be for this question, where would it be appropriate?

[[User:Trevor Parscal|Trevor Parscal]] 18:37, 31 March 2010 (UTC) == Hebrew Wikipedia's opinion == I can't speak on behalf of all of the Hebrew Wikipedia, but according to the survay in the Hebrew village pump, there is a clear consensus (not even one opposition) towards sticking to the monobook skin and not changing over to vector. I was wondering wether or not it is possible to indeed stick with monobook if a global change occours. see discussion: [http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%97%D7%AA_%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%94:%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%97_%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%AA#.D7.91.D7.98.D7.90_.D7.A7.D7.A8.D7.91.D7.94_.D7.95.D7.91.D7.90.D7.94], where you can see all the Against [changing over] opinions. yoni, [[Special:Contributions/212.199.200.76|212.199.200.76]] 16:07, 31 March 2010 (UTC) :What are the specific issues the community has with switching over to Vector? We would rather have projects display Vector and enable the enhanced features by default, but we should understand the issues first. Would it be possible to summarize the main points? Also, this [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aikdcg5HdSKbdDVMM2l2SGM2dUtBU25MLUtTMFEwMFE&hl=en spreadsheet] captures the retention rates for individual projects. [[User:Howief|Howief]] 22:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC) ::Main points are (as i understand it): (1) Frequently used tabs have been moved to a menu (protect, delete, move, etc.). This is a drawback - ''click'' menu, ''search'' for wanted option with or without mouse, then another ''click'' - instead of simply clicking tab. If this can be fixed by custom JS, this is simply not an efficient way of doing things (i.e. changing source code only for it to be ''changed back'' using user-side script). (2) The new toolbar might be more ''new'' user friendly, but for more experienced users (after all, users dont stay new all there life), key and frequently used buttons are stashed in menus, instead of being in ''plain sight''. (3) The new tool bar is missing many of our ''custom buttons'' and it is not clear how we can add more. (4) If the tabs are removed from menu and put in plain sight again, and we use the old buttons by default, the only changes are actually only the different styling of pages. I'd not call this a usability initiative as it decreased the usability rather than enhanced it, and in fact is only a skin change (if indeed above-mentioned issues are taken care of). (5) I guess it's also a matter of ''taste''. Some users simply prefered the familiar (to editors and to readers) monobook style. (6) From my point of view, it's a headache to fix all help pages, help templates, help images, how-to videos (!), site JS and personal JS, updating site messages. It just seems like a lot of work for a not-so-much usefull new skin. ::As to the spreadsheet, it does not reflect the real use and popularity of the site. (a) Many new users opt in, dont opt out, but are not active. How many active users have opt in but not out...? (b) users are under the impression that this transfer will be forced upon us, and so they might as well start getting used to it. (c) the survay conveys the real and true popularity of the beta version - 0% in the Hebrew Wikipedia. All those who use it, use it because of reason mentioned in b, as shown in the rationals giv in the survay. Yoni, [[Special:Contributions/212.199.200.76|212.199.200.76]] 17:33, 7 April 2010 (UTC) :::From reading your post, it seems most of your concerns apply to ''experienced'' users, but you don't seem to have much of a problem switching ''anonymous'' users to Vector. Note that even if the default skin on hewiki is switched to Vector, individual users will still be able to opt out and go back to Monobook easily (two clicks). This may be something to consider. ---[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 18:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC) ::::Yoni indeed does not represent all users of he.wikpedia, but his complaint and Catrope's reply to it demonstrate a very important point: The developers of Vector seem to assume that it is fine to alienate experienced users while they make changes that are supposed to bring new users. This assumption is completely wrong. ::::Besides, we all know that shortly after the full switch Vector the developers will deprecate Monobook and give proper support only to Vector, so the possibility to switch to Monobook is a very temporary remedy. So i switched to the beta very early, but not because i think that it is necessary, but because i understood that it would be forced on me anyway. ::::Let me reiterate it again and again: I complain in every possible forum about the changes not because i am opposed to them in principle or because i disrespect the developers. I complain because the changes introduce particular significant technical problems and because they show that the foundation and the developers seem to not consider the community's opinion important enough. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 08:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC) :::Another reason why the spreadsheet above is not accurate (or is not being interpreted correctly) is the assumption that it represents a true sample of mediawiki users. There is a major selection bias going on. The only people represented in that sheet are those who '''Decided''' to use the beta. It is not surprising that out of a group where 100% of the members are the kind of people who will go through the trouble to try a beta there is a high percentage of people who will continue to use it. In fact I would say that a retention rate of ''only'' 80% is a sign of more work needing to be done. If everyone who has used a wikimedia project for the last...(I cant remember when you said you started the beta and I can open the article page without navigating away from the edit tab because you disabled the "right-click, open in new tab" functionality...see below)...however many months, then one would expect that a fairly large number of people who like the idea of a new wikilook have had a chance to see it. If a full 20% of them then decided against using it what do you think the percentage of those who will op-out after having it ''forced'' on them will be? I would very much like to see those numbers. Don't get me wrong I think adding usability for new users is a fantastic idea, I just think the current version of "Vector" is not ready for full-time yet. Cheers, [[User:Colincbn|Colincbn]] 14:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC) And this is much like Simple English Wikipedia's opinion. Although I have not raised this at our "Village Pump", in discussion with many of the active users, a clear majority agree with staying with monobook. Is this an option? Yes or no, I don't need a long post on how Beta is so much better.

The 3rd-level heads are the same size as 2nd-level and bold. (The heads on this page are not the same format as in the general Wiki articles.) The problem is that the conventional method of indicating higher-level heads is to use larger sizes and boldface. But here, the two head levels are the same size, and the smaller one is bold rather than the larger. This can be confusing in trying to see how head levels are related. I suggest making the 2nd-level heads bold and the 3rd-level heads roman and a couple of points smaller, to clarify the relationship between the levels. == Making Citations Easier == By far the most time I spend on Wiki articles is getting citation formats correct. Why do we have to do this? Instead of having the list of citation types at the bottom of the page, requiring scrolling down to use them, make it a floating, dockable palette in the left margin. When we click a cite type, instead of taking us to a page that shows the format, just open a dialog with the appropriate fields, which we can fill in. For example, clicking a book cite would open a box with fields for author, title, each of the other publication facts, and a blank field at the end for annotation. Fill in any or all, then click Save--the cite is inserted at the cursor location. One of your strategic goals is to get more readers participating. Since you require citations, if you made creating them less onerous, you'd probably get more people willing to edit. It would also improve the consistency of citations, which are currently all over the place in terms of format. == Please alter Collapsible Tabs to hide the tab contents onload. Right now they are completely unusable without javascript == This is a common error made when creating expanding/collapsing FAQs. The more usable way to do so is to add a window onload event listener in the script that iterates over the questions and adds a display: none to the node style. That way if javascript is blocked, does not load or has some error, the FAQ still functions just fine. Instead right now the FAQ entries have display: none embedded in the HTML and are unviewable without javascript enabled. This is unfriendly and impairs usability. Given the ease of the fix, I hope you will consider this change. :Thanks for the comment. Vector does the rendering of the drop down menu which you're referring to, but the drop down action is handled with CSS. A :hover psuedo-class is used to change the display: none to a display: block when the user mouses over the menu. It's possible your browser does not support use of the hover psuedo-class on a div element, which may be the reason you're not seeing it functioning. CollapsibleTabs ( which only functions when javascript is enabled ) is a small bit of javascript code that enhances the Vector skin by checking for collisions of the two navigations on the top of the page and shifting menu items into the drop down when necessary to prevent overlaps. --[[User:Adam|Adam]] 15:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC) :Since some browsers may not support :hover on arbitrary elements (IE until 7, and IE8 in some modes, and maybe some older versions of other browsers), it seems like a more usable way to do it may be to have the CSS keep them expanded by default, and then use a Javascript "onload" (or similar) function to collapse them when the page is loaded, and add the appropriate "onclick" or CSS :hover stuff. --[[User:Aaron dub|Aaron dub]] 19:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC) == Can we please tidy up and simplify the warnings on the edit page? == [[File:Interface mark five.png|thumb|center|800px|My proposed version (right) contains all the text of the current version (left), but presents it in a more logical and clear fashion.

It slows down the editor loading and has a different form and parameters than Monobook. This will not be welcomed by browser bot operators. I don't like it either when editing by hand. They can always change back to the Monobook skin if they want. I think that there should be an option to turn off the advanced editbar. I do like its drop-down features though. So much for my 2 cents, but this is what I think. Sorry if I made anyone feel bad. Keep at it. [[User:Arlen22|Arlen22]] 00:39, 10 September 2009 (UTC) : I am sure it takes longer to load.

On Huwiki for example, the upper tabline is extended with a button that can insert the most frequently used patrolling templates, making the life of patrollers and sysops easier. With the beta version it often works with errors. Same for the article rating tab, when you try to select a Wikiproject to rate the article, it collides with the article's coordinate template and have to switch out of Beta to be able to use the feature correctly. The extra buttons of Template Master and Cite are also gone if I use Beta. These are add-ons many users use, and for me, a sysop and patroller, are vital.

The <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags are fine, but the <refname {{cite... tags are a real pain in the neck, and I often get it wrong, needing several attempts in preview for a single ref. I avoid editing Featured Articles for this reason! You need to sort this out, particularly as FAs are the ones displayed on the mainpages. I suggest a dropdown menu item, with "type" of ref, then boxes for the relevant fields.

I remember that when I first started editing in early 2005, almost all of the markup used in the articles was wikilinks, and a little simple html style markup. It was clean and simple, and very easy to use. Most articles on popular subjects were shorter and simpler too. It's proliferated since then, such that an FA is almost unreadable in editing mode.

I think this fourth concept is not worthwhile discussed alone, there are two reasons for this: (1) without the text, and for new users, the idea of a star lighting up would be ambiguous; (2) if we had the text and the star, then why not cut the redundancy of the star.

Users can conveniently switch to and back from the reading mode at any time with a single click. This gains a gargantuan amount of screen real estate (20+ percent at a typical resolution) and removes all elements that can possibly distract from reading. The reading mode is superior to both PDF creation (much easier and faster access) and the printable version (better layout, navigation is still functional) currently used on Wikipedia. -- [[User:JovanCormac|JovanCormac]] 10:52, 5 October 2009 (UTC) :We want to encourage people to ''edit'', not just read Wikipedia. We don't need something that places an extra divide between the outward-facing encyclopedia and the inward-facing community. That's the reason that cleanup templates on pages have been around for so long: they encourage people to edit, tell them that they can help with a specific problem on a specific page. In any event, the current design is quite amenable to reading: vertical space isn't at a premium and the sidebar provides nice negative space once the navigation links run out. I don't see a particular advantage in this idea. If you're really concerned about screen space I'd suggest maybe some JavaScript to (voluntarily) tuck away the sidebar when it's not in use, but a "reading mode" doesn't sound like a good idea.

Most people just want to read it, because that's what an encyclopedia is for. Editing is an option, not a duty. Showing "Edit" links all over the place with no way to turn them off is not ''encouraging'' users to edit themselves, it's practically ''compelling'' them.

On the other hand, the mostly-writers interface (that I would call "advanced", not "writing" interface) could use a lot of links and shortcuts that are most useful to regular participants, who are used to this heavy interface anyway.

I'd like a simple mode too, but the key distinction is between ''simplification'' and ''obfuscation''. I am fine if people get a reading mode as long as that reading mode does not distance them from the editing mode!

I'm not all talk, I've whipped up a fully functional prototype using the CodeMirror framework ([http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/]). [[File:Mwparser.png|thumb|center|825px]] You can try the fully functional prototype at its SourceForge project page, [http://mwcodemirror.sourceforge.net/ http://mwcodemirror.sourceforge.net/]. The parser could be further developed to highlight the code even more helpfully (e.g. underlining the caption of a link to indicate what will actually be seen) and to indicate a wide variety of common markup errors ''while typing''. I believe that the CodeMirror framework is flexible enough to even add advanced features like auto-closures and auto-code formatting, but even as it is it can be extremely helpful when editing. I know there is wikEd which already does this and more, but I have found it to be cumbersome and it looks hard to integrate into Babaco as well with all the icons. Also, wikEd requires the user to click a button each time the text is edited in order to highlight the syntax again. This is not neccessary with CodeMirror. ''wikEd is also not compatible with Internet Explorer'' (a show stopper), while MWCodeMirror is. Feedback is welcome. -- [[User:JovanCormac|JovanCormac]] 19:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC) :While I appreciate that it's a prototype, you're still missing a lot of syntax, including headers, references, ordered and unordered lists, template syntax including templates and their calls, parameters, ParserFunctions and other magic words, signatures, supported HTML, extensions, et cetera&mdash;do you think that all of those are feasible within this CodeMirror framework?

[[Special:Contributions/76.252.13.109|76.252.13.109]] 07:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC) The problem with wikicode is that it is not line-based, most elements can be deeply nested over many line breaks. One needs a real whole-document based wikicode parser for correct wikicode highlighting, otherwise the results will be misleading for all but the most simple articles. Also, reference and table folding rquires a reliable and correct parser. The upcoming version of wikEd that has been in beta testing for a while has such a wikicode parser and I will start working on on-the-fly highlighting shortly (which has become possible at least for Firefox due to some recent changes). Another problem with many rich text editors including this one is that they break the built-in undo/redo history (e.g. from the context menu) and they cannot detect text drag-and-drop with the mouse events.

Here's a page with an example of positon: fixed (on the little left navigation area): [http://www.cacradicalgrace.org/rg/issues.html] -- (there are some issues with that page, like fixing the width of the main container, so that the fixed navigation doesn't get hidden if window width is too small, but it shows the principle). It works on IE 7 and later, and on all "good" browsers. Could come up with an alternate fix for those still on IE <= 6. The whole top and left areas navigation could be fixed so as to be instantly accessible --- and could even add some javascript to optionally show/hide them for people who don't like it that way, or want the article to rule the full window area. Could set an "overflow: " rule on the left nav so that it could still scroll if necessary, if it's too long to fit in the window --- or you could just use it for the top area and not the left. All you'd have to do for a basic implementation is add "position: fixed" to #panel and #head, (they're already set to "position: absolute" so it's a pretty small change), and then tweak the background and bottom border a bit on #head (adding the existing background-image applied to <body> would work for the background, and maybe something with #head-base for the bottom border).

[[User:Alex Smotrov|Alex Smotrov]] 19:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC) == Suggestion: "Trash can" for deleted material == Sometimes it happens that an article is deleted for any reason. I suggest to put old material in a Trash can so people can see what has been deleted and why Actually I have used several - now deleted pages - that were perfectly fine. I - as an example - once wrote an article on a neuro-psychological theme. The editor deleted it with a very expressive reason - "Bullshit!". I just saw my PhD going out the window there. But the experience was good, as it made me question Wikipedia, and also taught me never to write an article for wikipedia ever again. It would have been good though, to at least see it in an available trash-area. "Deleting" should be "Moving to trash-area". Many articles actually have value - and are still deleted, as just happened to "List of organized crime by country" (or something like that). It would have been so brilliant to have a list like that, which is hard to find elsewhere, and people can check up on themselves - if it is available... even available in the "trash-area". People don't write immense long articles about something for no reason. Deleting anything that has cost someone effort, puts off the motivation of creating articles. The trash-can could even have different categories. One for spam. One for "Bullshit!". One for "voted 'keep', but was overruled by an editor."... I'm sorry, but my respect for the wiki editors is not immensely high at this point, due to past experiences. Hopefully this will change. [[User:Pethol|Pethol]] :Good idea. But that "trash can" should not be indexed by googlebot and others, it should include a NOINDEX tag or something. [[Special:Contributions/160.53.250.114|160.53.250.114]] 18:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC) ::Well, you assume that the articles are okay but were still deleted. Many deleted articles are promotion for companies, copyright violations, pure nonsense or contain private personal information (like cyberbullying). Each time a page is deleted, the moderator would also need to decide whether to delete or half-keep it? That's an unnecessary burden because the option delete was put there for a reason. I agree that there are deleted articles (let's say pages) that have value in them but we do have policies to distinguish what needs to be kept and what not. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] 12:53, 19 November 2009 (UTC) ::This isn't so much a usability suggestion as a content suggestion, and it's been suggested so many times that it's got an entry on the perennial proposals page on the English Wikipedia: [[w:WP:PEREN#Deleted_pages_should_be_visible]].

Almost like a "death-row" for articles with possebility to stay alive in the trashcan for life. :A "death row" or "trash can" is a policy thing that should be suggested to the wiki communities.

You made a lot of fuss about not using "B" and "I" icons for bold and italic because those terms start with different letters in other languages, so it is only consequent to apply the same strictness here. The '''chain ''link''''' as a symbol for '''link''' is impossible to understand for, I daresay, the majority of worldwide users. You might as well omit the icon entirely. Example: German. A hyper''link'' is called "Verweis" or simply "Link" as well. However, a ''chain link'' is called "Ketten''glied''", with "Glied" meaning "Link" when related to a chain. "Glied" can also mean "member" or "penis", but it certainly has nothing to do with a hyperlink. An underlined, blue word (i.e. a "link") should do the trick. -- [[Special:Contributions/77.1.45.143|77.1.45.143]] 15:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC) :Let's explore alternatives. All that I can think of is a globe icon.

But there are not many alternatives :And the chain icon it is not that bad, because it is established as THE icon for link. All around the world. Take a look at popular Software: Most of them make use of the chain. That's why this icons is comprehensible. By the way: Noone says "Verweis" for a weblink, that's a word for references in papers or books; noone has the association "Glied" and "Penis".. ::Yes, they do. See [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink], where hyperlinks are repeatedly being called "(elektronische) Verweise" bzw. "Querverweise".

Unfortunatley, things are rarely so obvious in designing for Wikipedia and all of its communities. That (blue hand cursor) link may have worked if we had kept the icons for creating "internal" and external" links separate. If you have the updated Beta, you'll see that we now have one link button which can be used to create links to pages within Wikipedia, as well as external websites. Our [http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability,_Experience,_and_Progress_Study user study] confirmed the reasoning behind this merger - namely that less experienced users do not differentiate the two types of links. --[[User:Parul Vora|Parul Vora]] 19:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC) ==Search Box for Help-Pages in Edit Page== I would love to have a search box in the edit Pages that searches all "Help" pages for a keyword.

"One I feel like I have more expertise in an area" In the future, a biography of a colleague that becomes famous stuff that he's passionate about -- he either agrees with or trusts the information Says he would edit small errors (e.g., spelling) Task: Adding images Chose image gallery, inserted a link into a capiton -> does not work "Wikipedia is part of our language, but..." None of his friends would edit, unless it was just for kicks "believes there is truth in voices of the masses" "reality is seen through wikipedia" "(as) more people edit, it(wp) would be more accurate." == Sarah == On speech team, so constantly looking things up Uses ~5 days/week a little skeptical since you can edit yourself, but seems pretty accurate why not edit? hasn't seen anything which needs editing "that was very easy to do. . .i'm not sure. . ." Expects word doc stuff realized the 'show preview' preview is a preview 11:36 -"I don't know how to edit it" References => People continuously try to add links in the 'references' section at the bottom, to an external web page - found help, trying to figure out syntax - says she'd be pretty likely to reference "if i could figure it out" Would you be more likely to edit in the future? "yeah, probably" "they're discussing" Who? "<username>" Do they work for wikipeida or are they just people out in the world? "They're just people out in the world" Task: add section this was easy for her. she looked at the wikitext and copied the "==" syntax Task: add table Brought up dialogue for table, changed rows/columns, started editing inserted wikitext "oh that's beautiful" when she finished the table Task: decrease population of castro valley by one Clicks on expand template first Moderator had to probe to get her to click form link thinks form icon will take her somewhere else view history page; what's going on here? "A lot. I'm not sure" Figures out it's "people who are changing things" after she sees the diff Viewing history is something she probably won't do why not edit? Doesn't occur to her/doesn't want to take time to learn == Carrie == Looks up people a lot Why not edit? Looking for information about people; not knowledgeable enough - can't think of instance where she's seen something incorrect - remembers seeing stub for adding more information, just never did - "dont consider myself a source" Recurring theme of "not knowlegdable enough" Colbert is awesome Wasn't aware of user accounts "i'm not a technical person" doesn't have the patience to figure it out Mentioned that the statement that she added "wasn't particularly profound" Task: Citation Looooong pause... Reference icon is not recognized Trying to figure out from help "I'm not technical enough (and not willing) to do this Help was not helpful "i'm clicking on them to find out what they do, but nothing seems to be happening" --> this is where she says she'd stop Help not interactive enough (We could make it fun and pretty) struggles to identify what syntax makes links NTOC is easy to be recognized and interacted She says it's pretty unlikely that she'll edit again (unless there is a burning desire to edit something) - small errors (e.g., spelling) - is there anything WP can do? She says there are a lot of click-throughs, not user-friendly, "legalese stuff" wasn't user friendly --> reduce number of steps - she uses turbotax, wants the equivalent of turbotax too many click through before publishing Task: adding a new section - quickly used section header tool - excited to see what she did worked Task: ceate a table - took 10-15 seconds to find a table icon - looks proud after creating a table successfully Task: Edit population Expanded the infobox using the dialog Recurring theme: Looking for Infobox by the TOC because that's where it appears in the page Name makes *huge* difference did not notice the scroll bar at first, but noticed later and started scrolling View History - I will *never* take time to review this - Thinks user talk page is where the discussion of the article takes place Recurring theme: look at left Nav to create article (because we're asking them to do something like File-> new article...fix that) How to find help? "I never look at help, even using MS word." I slightly feel I had accomplished something. Slightly empowered by learning how to edit. "I don't find it super user friendly. I'm visual person, and this code thing.." "turns to code" Liked: She likes the help after all. Finds the toolbar layout easy. Has experience in web publising Yelp: considered contributing; but then heard it was a scam so doesn't contribute turbotax: used to use accountant, friend told her about it, thought it was hard; hook was could do return online, get your return online; nothing to lose; "a 15 year old should be able to understand this"; "line 46 -> line 46, simplicity", feels like wikipedia takes her back to wordperfect days "a 15 yr old should be able to understand what this is" Short, simple statements == Mrs Howie == [1-2 edits] + blogger Edited for fun for the first time Editing experience was surprisingly easy to edit (open process), but actual editing process was not easy although she considers herself tech-savvy does not have an account goes to cosmetics page pleasntly surprised that "make up" page is redirected to "cosmetics" "interesting photo collecitons" Redirects -> reasoning (assumes topic deficiency) Add something to the page use "read" tab to go back to the page "interesting" interface (puzzled) wants to add a section, but can't figure out Looks for TOC where the TOC was in the page (similar to finding Infobox in earlier participants) Expects TOC to have "add section" button since sections are already present Doesn't use 'section edit'... Wants to add a section directly to NTOC Trys out the link on the left navigation bar Familiar with old "save" interface, thrown off by "publish" "can't link to external links in the body" ->assumption of how wikipedia works? Back button to get back to read mode Thiks that she can copy the link syntax from the links in the text (did not work as she wanted to add external link) Never noticed the toolbar Goes to the left nav when she was asked something useful Finally found the link icon (expects it to be blue. "link is always in blue") (syntax highlighting for links?) Tries to copy internal link syntax for external links Didn't know she was in the preview mode (thought she was in the article page) Recurring Theme: Preview mode not clear References: copy+paste reference example Figuring out how to add citation is difficult, try and error does not work Wants to "save" first (meaning locally for previewing) ' Recurring theme: needing to undo (not readily visible or known that it's possible) Templates as "buttons" not "links" Expects help in the left navigation bar No idea about templates without multiple parameters and values In discussion page: Look at boxes at the top and thinks the page is for announcement Task: adding a section - wants to add a section in NTOC - figures out the heading syntax by clicking one of the section header from NTOC - There is no "UNDO" (after making a mistake with table creation) "Preview" tab is found without any wondering around, but the preview itself takes a long time for a long article like "San Francisco" "those gray boxes must be some kind of templates" likes the temlate inline expansion as she can see te whole thing View history (have been there before, thinking it is discusion page) Likes: Hyperlinks to the section Didn't like: No page differentiation (did not know where she was at) Participation: If there is an indication about "help" in the search result page, i will edit. ==Erin C== References -> tries to make it HTML b/c it looks like HTML tags Gets confused with the template capsule Recognizes need for discussion page so it's not an "edit war" Infoboxes: expect a 'section edit' "really not sure how to get into that" "throws me off that they have 2 ways to view the same thing" "makes me wonder if one way is better than another" "summary saying 'substantial vandalism' helped me" ==Oliver== Search bar moved, "where people expect it" (used it before he noticed it) -> go and search is confusing "used show preview" time to preview/response too slow "can I open a new tab? do I have to wait for it?" copied url to sf wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area), pasted in link dialog, checked "wiki page"; "external link" icon in upper right corner didn't change, created a new wiki page named the url (expressly said 'this is a wiki page' while creating the external URL) PREVIEW NOT CLEAR ENOUGH, people test links in preview to make sure they internally/externally link right "can't see controls all the time" size of scroll area "blogging tools don't have tabs at the top' --> how do blogging tools do preview? Understood the "discussion" tab, but was unsure when he got to the page. He eventually seemed to figure it out. task: template editing struggled to find collapsed template since i don't know the order, i expect alphabetical larger infoboxes a problem, in display order, need some sort of categorization chooses to preview after making change then clicks on publish Thinks "minor edit" flags it for someone to look at Templates "there are lots of these little things, looked like everything else here", Infobox "we don't know wht to call it" (we need to differentitate) TEMPLATES HAVE DIFFERENT USES, 1 SOLUTION FOR THEM DOESN'T WORK! "doesn't look editable" SCREEN SCROLL: as to guillom's comment:people always scroll to a certain position as a 'comfortable editing position'...how can we change that? Task: create table started laughing, then went immediately to help Tried to type within the example Once table is inserted, he figured out how to edit What do you think about the editing process? "I know my mother couldn't use this" if he wanted to do something more advance, wants to go to help Liked the graphical support "if i knew what an infobox was, it would have helped" Didn't like Scroll within scroll within scroll When creating new article: Thinks there must be some sort of format New article prepopulated with a style? All this [the toolbar] would be helpful == Caroline == More of a consumer of info than a contributor for ugc stuff (e.g., amazon, yelp) Task: add link Used double brackets Added [[kevin thompson]] knows that red = no article, and her expectation is that "Kevin Thompson" would be in red She doesn't want the link to go to a disambiguation page tried to paste wikipedia url into link dialog when creating an internal link Motivated and finds relevant text Very error-tolerant ==Rob M== "reference" icon not clear Recurring theme: no one's really using the 'reference' button Need only one interaction with template ("why have both?") 'get rid of arrow' expects table in table dialog to be editable "Demo on how to edit" (tutorial, clip, etc) "Change the reference button" ==Joaquin D== No experience with HTML All-blacks rugby fan =) "a whole bunch of computery looking things" -> "oh no wait" (after NTOC and stuff showed up) DEF less intimidated after other stuff appeared Added wiki page link and clicked "internal" again...bottom option seems too confusing 'adding section' -> doesn't think it's automatic (thinks headings are a formatting issue) [[Category:Usability studies]] r4i3lsdk3uyqeu5tz7qkcetomw2hwwt 2 1073 6359 2010-03-31T14:01:24Z BRUTE 1707 Created page with '*[[:m:User:BRUTE|My page on Meta]]' 6359 wikitext text/x-wiki *[[:m:User:BRUTE|My page on Meta]] jivau6ii68ey9e28w8etbgn9n51arud 2 1074 6366 2010-03-31T22:49:39Z OlEnglish 1712 softredirect [[w:en:User:OlEnglish]] 6366 wikitext text/x-wiki {{softredirect|w:en:User:OlEnglish}} rpxmqlinm1m8f8980uxablnn9p72sxw 0 1075 6405 6385 2010-04-02T16:04:08Z Juxn~usabilitywiki 176 pasted notes from etherpad 6405 wikitext text/x-wiki == Parul's Notes on Bianca == * editing for grammar * haven't made any major edits - added some content, but not nearly as much * blogs * has written yelp reviews * notices article and discussion tabs. * stanford band - changes the caption on a photo. * never really figured out what minor edit is - usually click on it. * copies and pastes from an example link. finds referenced links. * i'm trying to see how to make a piece of text look like (a link?) * look like hyperlink * sean points out link button in toolbar * creates internal link by typing chars- page doesn't exist, red * links to "external" page using dialog * internal link - automatically * not likely to add references * knows how to add a section - just types the chars, looks at toolbar, wouldn't use * shifting in the editor window - distracting * see video markers for template stuff * has never created a page ==Naoko's Notes on Bianca== ===General editing=== * Compares the editing experience with WordPress * Publish the edits without previewing * Knows how to add a link to Wikipedia page * Add internal link using dialog successfully * Creates a table using dialog, but missed how to make a header row ===Templates interaction=== * Looks for an infobox in NTOC * Expands the arrow, instead of using the dialog * Likes the dialog, but did not recognize how to get to it ===Overall impression=== * Interface is not intuitive * Wishes obvious tutorial * Refers to twitter for how to's * Highlights for new features ===One thing you like the most=== * NTOC * Template dialog ===What would make you contribute significantly?=== * Making citation easier (importing references) * Incentives * Something enticing (not sure how to express) ===One message to the UX team=== * Make it obvious ==Nimish's and Hannes's Notes== * "I wish this would be a plain Text Editor" * Uses Preview Tab immediatly (when asked to find the preview) * Thought the Advanced, Speical Page and Help Links are "real" Links that takes you to another page.

Articles are maintained by undoing unnecessary edits and using protection tools for articles.<br> A voting system could be utilised for reviewing new edits on protected articles (that have been draft saved but not yet applied to articles, positive votes would apply it). A voting system could also be used for increasing protection levels to valued sentences or paragraphs of information. An interactive system of voting on new edits and preserving existing information could be very useful. *The "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia" under the title of every article, for aesthetics it would appear better without it, as it is under the logo, obvious sentence and unnecessary to repeat. *The [[w:Wikipedia:Project namespace|project namespace]] colon ":" and namespace prefix could be replaced, with a section name, in a label floating or fixed to articles and browser windows.<br> The sections would then be more clearly noticeable and differentiate them from all other regular encyclopaedia articles and be able to be labelled in multiple namespaces, as some can be categorised in multiple similar topic namespaces.<br> There would be six labeled sections for all present project namespaces: [[w:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|Contributing and Editing Section]] (new), [[w:Wikipedia:Help namespace|Help Section]], [[w:Wikipedia:Images|Media and Files Section]], [[w:Wikipedia:Template namespace|Templates Section]], [[w:Wikipedia:User pages|User Section]] and the miscellaneous [[w:Help:Special page|Special Section]].<br> [[w:Wikipedia:Categorization|Categories]], [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries)|Glossaries]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Portal|Portals]] should not be a project namespace as they are fundamental to overall navigation and browsing. ''See also: [[#Categories Glossaries and Lists|Categories Glossaries and Lists]], [[#Outlines and Portals|Outlines and Portals]] *A [[w:table of contents|table of contents]] box that automatically shows and hides when a cursor is near or over it, would be a small and useful improvement, together with regular locked show and hide views of contents. *Article improvement [[w:Wikipedia:Template messages|template messages]] usually at the top of articles should only be visible to users that are loged-in, for experienced users, as template messages disrupt the overall continuity of article format and are of no purpose to brief readers, except for [[w:Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup#Neutrality and factual accuracy|neutrality and factual accuracy]] messages. *The "Download as PDF" from the [[w:Help:Navigation|Sidebar (left)]] print/export box could be improved. The rendering could have options to create a [[w:Portable Document Format|PDF]] as it currently does or create pages in the exact style, arrangement and layout as a normal Wikipedia article, with it precisely presented as it is in the browser window width, separated into pages. *A function for user [[w:Help:Watching pages|watchlists]], that alerts of any edits by others, to specific edited text, on any article by selecting a "'''Watch this edit'''" [[w:check box|check box]] before saving. An accurate additional feature to watchlists, as the watchlist only lists a user of the latest edit to an entire article the user is watching. *A useful feature for people [[w:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|editing]] who might have forgotten to [[w:Help:Logging in|login]], would be a login panel beside the text box when editing or contributing. The login panel could be used at the top or bottom of an "[[w:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|edit this page]]" page, to remind people to log-in or allow people to create an account, before editing. *The use of [[w:Help:Redirect#How it appears to the user|redirected quotes and addresses]] are important for navigation and search results, though it can be redundant when it intersects the process of accuracy and presentation and should be a background action. Article pages are obscured by redirected quotes and addresses. If an article is bookmarked by a web browser with a redirected address, the article can be visited again incorrectly, after being bookmarked or saved with a redirected address it is obscured again, by the redirected quote "(Redirected from [[w:Help:Redirect#How it appears to the user|Article name]])".<br> To improve the redirect action would be for all redirects to present the original article and importantly the article address, with a temporary redirected quote text. Presently only the original article title remains, with the address being inaccurate and inconsistent. There would still remain a small redirected quote link, to the redirect page, where the redirect address URL should only be implemented in the redirect page. ''See also: [[#Article Attributes|Proposal for Article Attributes]]'' ===Browsing and Reading=== *A universal title bar with switch buttons to simply change between {{keypress|Wikipedia}} or {{keypress|Wiktionary}} and [[User:RW Marloe#Search and Results|Wikisearch]] bar. Changing from one to the other, encyclopaedia or dictionary whilst in an article goes to the subject and topic most accurate to the article, in the other. ::''See also: [[#Search and Results|Proposals for Wikipedia Search]]'' *There are three ways that people use Wikipedia, which are [[w:Reading (process)|reading]], [[w:User interface design|navigation]] and [[w:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|contribution]]. With the purpose to present the article centre stage to read. To enhance this there should be two additional improvements, in a simple reading [[w:Web application|web application]] that presents original Wikipedia content: :View switch buttons to view as {{keypress|Edit}}{{keypress|Read}}{{keypress|Fullscreen}}. ::1. '''Editing View''' :::Preserving all the normal current familiar appearance, full functions and features for use with common computers. ::2. '''Reading View''' :::A feature that enlarges every article in an animated way, full to a web browsers window, this hides the editing attributes, for basic reading. The [[w:Help:Navigation|Sidebar (left)]], [[w:Help:Navigation|Top tabs (above the article)]] and [[w:Help:Navigation|User options (top right)]] would be behind articles on a gray background, theses would be accessed by reducing the article, by clicking on the thin grey border around articles to resize the article into the normal layout and position. :::The mobile version [[w:Wikipedia:Mobile access|Wikipedia Mobile]] ([http://en.m.wikipedia.org en.m.wikipedia.org]) is optimised for small screens of [[w:smartphone|smartphone]]s, [[w:Portable media player|portable multimedia devices]], small [[w:netbook|netbook]]s and [[w:tablet PC|tablet PC]]s. ::3. '''Fullscreen View''' :::The [[w:fullscreen|fullscreen]] view is a third stage, based on the Reading View, with additional settings that would include text size adjustment and a two page browsing option. :::Capable of turning from page to page, instead of scrolling. Browse and read using two settings, through the whole [[w:Portal:Contents/Quick index|A-Z index]] or through each [[w:Wikipedia:Layout#See also section|see also]] related to an article, viewed one by one. This has an ease of navigation and would transform browsing each page as though is was a real encyclopaedia book. :::The fullscreen view would be optimised for use with widescreen televisions and computers with large displays. ===Language Versions=== :''Main article: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Machine_Translation_Project Wikipedia Machine Translation Project]'' The [[w:Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination|multilingual coordination]] of languages could be seamless and automatically [[w:Translation|translated]], to a user account selected language. There could be two options: :1. '''Consolidation of Multilingual Versions''' ::The combining of all multilingual articles maintaining a completely comprehensive encyclopaedia, where each users selected language determines the translation, this would be an accuracy and consolidation measure, as many articles exist in some language versions of Wikipedia and not in other language versions. :2. '''Manual Translation Process''' ::A simpler process of current manual translation, for people to manually translate articles and create the article in a selected language, that there isn't an article of, in that language Wikipedia and to make it easier to do. The manual process is probably the most appropriate with [[w:Google Translate|Google Translate]] currently used, because comparative definitions in languages can be vastly different, by individual, cultural, lingual and regional factors. The implementation of combining of all multilingual articles would lead to sentences and paragraphs changing rapidly, increasing the chances of [[w:Help:Edit conflict|edit conflicts]] by all language users editing simultaneously, which may result in incomprehensible articles. One of these options would be an improvement. ==Article Attributes== In the [[w:Wikipedia:Basic navigation|top tabs (above the article)]] could be an additional article tab page for [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|Wikipedia free links]] of related material, allowing all large articles to be less compressed giving the reader an easier read, named "'''Attributes'''". The important parts of articles would remain on the article, the usual images, [[w:Help:Infobox|infoboxes]], [[w:Wikipedia:Navigation templates|navigation boxes]] and the [[w:Subscript and superscript|small numbered superscript link]] for [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing sources]], which would scroll and present them on the "Attributes" page automatically. It would include all the alternative names for a specific article and replace the [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Redirect|redirected quote link]] under headings, [[w:Wikipedia:Redirect|redirected addresses and redirected pages]]. It would list sections for alternative names and relative names, [[w:Tag (metadata)|key words]], [[w:Wikipedia:Layout#See also section|see also]] articles, [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources|reference]]s, [[w:Help:Category|categories]], [[w:Wikipedia:Portal|portals]], [[w:Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|linking between projects]] and a section with a basic list of all other [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|free links]] that are in the article, [[w:Help:Hidden text|hidden text]] would have a section also. All listed attributes include a position link to view and automatically scrolls to each. The section with a basic list of all other [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|free links]] that are in an article, would be automatically compiled alphabetically. A useful list with a separate [[w:Help:Piped link|piped links]] section, is an easily list to browse and restore broken links. An "Attributes" tab would be a convenient and practical visual tool to aid the organising and referencing of articles. Derivatives would compliment and be similar to [[w:Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation pages]] and [[w:Help:What links here|what links here pages]].<br> Wikipedia search results would use the "Attributes" in the search engine to formulate more accurate referenced results. ==Article History== *The differentiation of [[w:Wikipedia:disambiguation|disambiguation]]s and [[w:Wikipedia:redirect|redirect]]s in user history is needed, to clearly identify the deference of regular articles and disambiguation pages and redirect pages. They could be indicated by an small icon or text. *The ease of viewing and reading an [[w:Wikipedia:How to read an article history|articles history]] version could be more clarified in help pages.<br> A more comprehensive overview is required, as the [[w:Help:Page history|Revision View]] is basic view of an articles pervious version and the [[w:Help:Diff|Difference Between Revisions View]] is a detailed summery view of an article. ::1. '''Revision View''' :::Basic and simple view of the whole page, with a small directional navigation at the top, to view the previous revision, current revision and newer revision. It is viewed by selecting the time and date in the list of a [[w:Help:Page history|history page]]. ::2. '''Difference Between Revisions View''' :::Detailed with a highlighted edit line summery at the top, to compare selected version sentence edits, of what is added and omitted for comparison. There are three types of ways to select an articles history; "(cur)" is a comparison of the selected date with the current version; "(prev)" is the comparison of the selected date and the previous edit chronologically; and a Compare Selected Versions option to view two versions with intermediate revisions not shown, this is a flexible selection to compare two versions of divergent dates, in the Difference Between Revisions View.<br> It is possible to generate a Difference Between Revisions View between any two versions. In the article history list, select the left [[w:radio button|radio button]] for the older version, the right radio button for the newer version, and click "Compare selected versions". {| class="wikitable sortable" style="float:right; border:1px solid #BBB;margin:1.35em 1.35em" |- !

This would be a timesaving shortcut, without needing to select the time and date for a Revision View and then select it. *The abbreviated links in brackets are inconsistent, as user contributions have the abbreviation of "(hist) (diff)", watchlists are "(diff) (hist)" and article [[w:Help:Related changes|related changes]] are "(diff) (hist)". It should be either "(diff) (hist)" alphabetised or the opposite way.<br> User contributions, watchlists and article related changes are all histories that have a different layout to regular article history lists. Regular article history lists have the abbreviation of "(cur) (prev)".<br/> *Article history lists could include a short summery beside every edit, equaling the total of additional or removed [[w:Character (computing)|character]]s and [[w:Letter (alphabet)|letter]]s. This is an important measure of the extent each edit, easily recognised and indicated by increase (green) or decrease (red) in the number of characters and letters that are changed, e.g. <span class='mw-plusminus-neg'>(-10)</span> or <span class='mw-plusminus-pos'>(+10)</span>. *The highlighted list at the top of the Difference Between Revisions View requires a [[w:Line (text file)|line]] scroll link to quickly and automatically move the internet browser window to view the selected paragraph edit, lower down in the revision. *In the Difference Between Revisions View, a paragraph repositioning indicator could be part of the edit [[w:Line (text file)|line]] summery, as some edits are just a copy and paste movement of unchanged lines or paragraphs, from one place to another. A move could be identified by an identical "'''Sentence or Paragraph Move'''" link indicator beside each moved line or paragraph, that could actively highlighted by the corresponding moves, between the two revisions viewed.

Directly and simply indicating and relating who typed which text and when, with [[w:Wikipedia:User pages|user page]] and [[w:Help:Talk page|user talk]] links. This would layout the whole page and have a floating column of usernames and dates on the left, that correspond and scrolls automatically, to both and each selected text or author. It would also provide a dedicated space for all cited attributions, when [[w:Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|copying within Wikipedia]], easily linking (if copied) each edit and editor to the to the original author and article it was copied from, notifying the original author in the process. *The "edit this page" tab should only be used on a current article, when viewing an old revision in the Difference Between Revisions View or Revision View, the tab would read "'''restore'''" instead of "edit this page", as demonstrated in the diagram an the left. This would define the distinction of ''restoring'' in past versions from ''editing'' in the current version, similar to [[w:Help:Reverting#Undo|undo]]s in page history lists. ==Categories Glossaries and Lists== *The use and layout of [[w:Help:Category|Categories]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries)|Glossaries]] must be more explained in help article guidelines, there could be more information about how to use them for navigation and browsing, because they are both very similar.<br> To connect for quicker and easier navigation [[w:Help:Category|Categories]], [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries)|Glossaries]], [[w:Wikipedia:Outlines|Outlines]], [[w:Wikipedia:General overview article|Overviews]], [[w:Wikipedia:Portal|Portals]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Lists|Lists]] could all be linked in topics by the subject, using prominent navigational boxes at the top right-hand side of articles. This would be a wider integration and similar to [[w:Wikipedia:Navigation templates|Navboxes]] that link a limited amount of specific information. ''See also: [[#Outlines and Portals|Outlines and Portals]] *The temporary customisation from ascending to descending, of list information in [[w:Table (information)|tables]], of single column or in multiple columns with ascending to descending of each column, is used, though the reordering of columns should be used more often. To be able to rearrange lists can be very useful when reading them in different contexts or interpreting the list in different ways, from alphabetical names, to countries and dates. [[w:Enumeration|Enumerative]], [[w:Hierarchical organization|hierarchical]] or [[w:Faceted classification|faceted]] are also alternative ways to organise information. *The order of the [[w:Wikipedia:Layout#See also section|see also]] section in all articles is unclear, as to the guidelines of type of alphabetical order. I prepose [[w:Wikipedia:Lists|lists]] be at the top, with a gap and then all other related links below lists, because sometimes lists are alphabetised within all the links. ==Chronology and Locations== *The positions and time of all articles is relevant and important to correlate the subject in relation to the readers interests, consistent with basic information with article category tags, at the end of the page, location and chronology could be tagged. ''See also: [[#Outlines and Portals|Outlines and Portals]] *The location of a topic in an articles uses [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiMiniAtlas WikiMiniAtlas] which opens by selecting the globe icon [[Image:Erioll world.svg|18px]] in the top right corner, this is a floating interactive box, it can be shown and hidden, more location information can be viewed by selecting the [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates|coordinates]], where [[w:Google Maps|Google Maps]] and other map resources can be used.<br> The advantage of geographic information is that each location can reveal other articles surrounding it, near the same place. It is an important medium to browse and discover unrelated information other than each articles place and locality to another. *A chronology box, with a horizontal scroll bar to navigate though a timeline of relevant articles, timelines are sometimes used but should be standard on all articles, referenced with [[w:Wikipedia:Timeline standards|timeline standards]]. Articles could be inserted into interactive timelines, by connecting all [[w:wiki markup|wiki markup]] date links, through [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|basic links]] or written in different [[w:Calendar date|date formats]] by using [[w:Help:Piped link|piped links]].<br> A "date index" for all Wikipedia dates could then be chronologically referenced, similar to the [[w:Portal:Contents/Quick index|A-Z]] of all contents, including a past, present and future sections, with a separate index chronology for fictional dates.<br> Both location and chronology used in an interface as described utilise the diversity and instant browsing of digital media, for the ease of use and convenience. ==Outlines Overviews and Portals== The use and layout of [[w:Wikipedia:Outlines|Outlines]] and [[w:Wikipedia:General overview article|Overviews]] must be more explained in help article guidelines, there could be more information about how to use them for navigation and browsing, because they are both very similar. The navigational use of [[w:Wikipedia:Outlines|Outlines]], [[w:Wikipedia:General overview article|Overviews]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Portal|Portals]] could be enhanced and easier to use, they could be integrated with [[w:Help:Category|Categories]], [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries)|Glossaries]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Lists|Lists]], by using prominent navigational boxes at the top right-hand side of articles, including all [[w:Help:Category|Categories]], [[w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries)|Glossaries]], [[w:Wikipedia:Outlines|Outlines]], [[w:Wikipedia:General overview article|Overviews]], [[w:Wikipedia:Portal|Portals]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Lists|Lists]] by the relevant subjects and topics of the article. This would be a wider integration and similar to [[w:Wikipedia:Navigation templates|Navboxes]] that link a limited amount of specific information. ''See also: [[#Categories Glossaries and Lists|Categories Glossaries and Lists]] ==Search and Results== *A unified "'''Wikisearch'''" page, with single text edit box and simple {{keypress|Wikipedia}} or {{keypress|Wiktionary}} [[w:Help:Searching|search]] buttons. The page language would be selected by account settings. A feature for misspelt searches is a search text box with the last search remaining in it, to easily edit and search again. *A [[w:Search suggest drop-down list|suggest drop-down list]] on the start page [http://www.wikipedia.org wikipedia.org]. On Wikipedia's homepage for all languages, with auto-completion in search results while typing, to give popular searches. *The search results for words are highlighted with '''[[w:Emphasis (typography)|bold text]]''' in each result, which could include an active link for the word, when selected the reader is taken to the article that is automatically scrolled to the sentence, with the relevant word also highlighted. *The ability of a [[w:Help:Special page|special page search]] parameter to search for all users created [[w:Wikipedia:disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages or [[w:Wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] pages, separate from all regular articles. ==Talk== The manual nature of talk interaction on Wikipedia could be improved to become efficient, effective and simple.<br/> *A link to respond below all user paragraphs, as a "[[w:Help:Talk page|comment]]" named action, it would function for each reply automatically setting indentation for each response, with the [[w:Cursor (computers)#Text cursor|text cursor]] readily blinking in the right place for typing, indicating the current region of text being edited, saving a comment would also automatically stamp [[w:Wikipedia:Signatures|signatures and dates]] after each save. This system would be easier and simpler than a common "[edit]" and produces a commenting standard. *Article Discussion sections could have a [[w:Template:Resolved|resolved template]] button that can be selected from the [[w:Help:Edit toolbar|toolbar]] when editing. *[[w:Threaded discussion|Thread]]s of talk and discussions could be in [[w:Help:Page history|page history list]]s, alongside the time and date of an edit, used for a certain version, perhaps a collapsable thread that hides or a link to the section on an article discussion page, specific to the edit. *The distinction of talk could be more defined, as Article Discussion (article talk) and General Correspondence (talk between users).<br> There are two types of interaction: ::1. '''Article Discussion''' :::The [[w:Help:Talk page|user talk]] interaction concerning articles and article sections, could be organised automatically and presented in [[w:Help:Talk page|user talk]] pages, with a section including all articles and article sections that have been discussed, where all related responses would be typed and automatically correlated.<br/> :::A user would create a new section, for discussion about the article, in the article discussion. Saving would automatically create chronologically, the title of the article and section on the user's talk page, for just a brief [[w:Help:Page history#Linking to a specific version of a page|revision link]] and date of the related edit: ::::''Main discussion: [[w:Help:Talk page|Article talk section]] ([[w:Help:Page history|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTTIME}}]])'' :::The discussions about an article and to discuss improvements to an article should be viewed and shared with all users, centred around article talk pages. Contributions could still be referenced and noted in a user's talk page, for more people to encounter a link to the article talk page. ::2. '''General Correspondence''' :::The general communication between users would benefit from account settings for default archiving of old correspondence and a respond button. The [[w:Help:Archiving a talk page|archiving]] of old discussions on a talk page and archive boxes should be an automatic, integrated and basic function. ==Wiki Markup== *There is a missing tool in [[w:Wiki|Wiki]]s. The use of active [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|free links]], highlighted text and placemarks, that interact with key guides, legends and lists for charts, diagrams and data on images, graphics and maps. It is required for simple navigational interface, explanatory referencing and general information and illustrative purposes. If an image is used and places on the image are related to a description or topic, it could be tagged to written text, the place would temporarily be prominent when the cursor hovers over it and will highlight the relative text to emphasise the correlation.<br> The location of a [[w:Tag (metadata)|tag]] placemark could be written with new [[w:Wiki markup]] language in the [[w:Wikipedia:Extended image syntax|extended image syntax]], similar to [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates|coordinate syntax]], identifying where the placemark is in the image and which quoted text is to be highlighted.<br> A variety of placemarks could be used, of text and symbols, exactly the same as normal [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|free links]], with notable information in an image tagged to a pixel, path or area. *The automation of [[w:Wikipedia:Free links|free links]] can be maintained when any article title is changed or any other change is made, by applying changes to all articles using [[w:Help:Piped link|piped links]], from the [[w:Help:what links here|what links here]] list and automatic synchronous [[w:transclusion|transclusion]]. This will restore broken links automatically and reduce overall redirects. ===Wiki Markup Errors=== *There is a general text overlapping issue with floating boxes and tables of images or text content, predominantly if they are positioned on the right, when a browser window size is adjusted. Especially with the section edit links labeled "[edit]", which can float over other text. The positioning of lateral and vertical order requires precision. *[[w:Help:Page history|History page]] edits that may be [[w:Help:Reverting#Undo|undone]] are sometimes unable to be undone, a notice exclaims "the edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits, if you wish to undo the change, it must be done [[w:Help:Reverting#Manual reverting|manually]]". This is a simple important action and the intermediate edits could each be reviewed, during an undo action or separated and presented alongside a manual undo. *The deletion of article histories can happen, when an article is moved without the history or other ways, with the loss of information and revisions, that may be of significance or value. There could be structured function to establish this as incapable of occurring. d2jq713dar3frlugh30dvgmgj8qz4mw 0 1087 6589 6565 2010-04-22T08:36:43Z Triolan 1798 /* See also */ 6589 wikitext text/x-wiki A chronological '''list of proposals and ideas''', for the development of [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and other [[w:Wikimedia Foundation#Projects, initiatives and chapters|Wikimedia projects]].

However, this feature only identifies ''exact'' duplicates; it can't identify similar or derivative files. Some applications use identifiers like "fingerprints" or "signatures" based on image identification technology like [[:w:Haar-like features|Haar-like features]] to find and track similar pictures. For example, digiKam uses a "lengthy number using a special technique (Haar algorithm) that make it possible to compare images by comparing this calculated signature.

File uploads are registered as regular edits and show in the "Contributions" page. However, this system is not appropriate for media files, which would benefit from a more visual approach, especially for media libraries like Wikimedia Commons. Currently, such pages are maintained manually by some users in a subpage of their userpage. The proposed implementation would be a new special page like Special:Gallery/username basically working like Special:Contributions, but displaying thumbnails of the media files uploaded. == Existing work == * [[:mw:Extension:User Image Gallery|Extension:User Image Gallery]] * [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=Guillom Gallery tool] on the toolserver [[Category:Multimedia usability - Specifications|User gallery]] 6fe77hsx1s3lkwjg3gon3eaj3lry9fy 100 1103 6510 2010-04-07T22:57:14Z Guillom 13 notes 6510 wikitext text/x-wiki {{draft}} * Integrated into MediaWiki (possibly as an extension) * Reusable format (possibly embeddable into XMP file metadata in the future). == Existing work == * [[:commons:Help:Gadget-ImageAnnotator|Help:Gadget-ImageAnnotator]] on Commons ([[:commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-ImageAnnotator.js|code]]) == Reference documents == * [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-interoperability/ Multimedia Annotation Interoperability Framework], W3C Incubator Group Editor's Draft, 14 August 2007 * [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-image-annotation/ Image Annotation on the Semantic Web], W3C Incubator Group Report 14, August 2007 * [http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1048077&view=revision Document for discussing ideas for image annotation and face recognition.], Michael G.

It looks kinda awkward if the text says "<nowiki>'''Boston''' (pronounced Audio-IPA)</nowiki>". Further more most short templates are pretty much self-explainable as "<nowiki>{{Main| History of Boston}}</nowiki>". I think all 2-3 parameter templates could be unfolded by default and more settings could by available in the preferences (e.g.: unfold all templates that have X parameteres, fold all templates that have more then X characters, fold old templates containing new lines). Also something like "always fold/unfold this template" in a drop down menu would greatly benefit this feature.

I think most of the people participating here, if they use Wikipedia for something, would feel most comfortable using the English Wikipedia. However, for approximately '''half''' of our users, this does not seem to be the case. We are biased as speakers of English. Imagine if the entire world was ruled by one government, but the decisions were made based on opinion polls conducted only in Iran... Wikimedia is a diverse and inclusive community. Within our community, there are many editors and even more readers who do not speak a word of English. Important first steps: * Research :* There's been some good research done so far for English-speaking Wikipedians. Now how about the other half of our readers and contributors? * Discussion :* Although I'm sure that in principle, contributions here in languages other than English would be welcomed, in practice, this seems unlikely to happen as the interface and all of the pages are written in English. Thus, non-English-speakers are excluded from the process. I realize that it would be extremely difficult to get full involvement from speakers of all 250+ languages used in our community, but we could at least reach out to and find a way to include some of the larger non-English communities. * Consideration :* Non-English-speakers should not be a mere afterthought in this initiative, they should be a core consideration at every step of the way. The multilingual and multicultural nature of our project presents many unique challenges, but it is at the core of our mission and so cannot and should not be treated as a secondary phenomenon.

Would expect something like "view my photos", a gallery of her files (like [[Multimedia:User gallery]]) Observation: Anya explores interfaces, wants to know what all her options are. Will always click on something marked "More options", or "Advanced options", just to check it out. === Aradhana === * Didn't realize she could upload multiple files at once. Would like to be able to select them all, instead of one by one * Added a description in English, then tried to add a description in Hindi. Typed "h" to jump to Hindi, but couldn't find it in the list. Was confused because she could see "Fidji Hindi" higher in the list. Upon suggestion of Neil, scrolled down to the end of the list, where non-latin alphabets get pushed out. Eventually found Hindi there, in Hindi script (was confused because "Fidji Hindi was in Latin script). Then, when trying to actually add the description in Hindi, didn't know how to input Hindi characters, was expecting a virtual keyboard of some sort. * Very briefly went over Step 2. With her knowledge of Wikipedia and free licenses, immediately identified it was the "I release rights" stuff, and checked the box without reading very carefully. Appreciated she had to check the box and it wasn't checked by default. The second time, didn't read anything, just checked and clicked "Next". * Was expecting more explicit indication things were "Finished" on Step 4. * Same as Anya: "Where did my stuff go" issue. Are the pictures on my userpage? * When she saw "upload more files", thought it was the only way to upload several files at once * Would like to be able to select all the files, provide all the titles/descriptions, then upload and be done with it. Observation: Aradhana tries to get through interfaces quickly based on her past experience. She is the kind of user who will immediately click "YES" to any interstitial warning or explanation. Will NOT click on anything marked "more options", is instead looking for the quickest route to "NEXT". === Group discussion === * Users' model is to assume they are uploading into their own private space. Common question: where are "my" photos? Expect that final page should be "their" gallery of images. We can give them an equivalent page of their contributions (as planned) * Users who want to explore would like to understand the differences between licenses. Was not obvious that the "less options" page is exactly equivalent to picking CC-BY-3.0. Need to clarify relationship between "More options" and the "pick a license" page. * Users should have preferred languages for descriptions, just like preferred licenses * Show spinner while Step 1 loads * Upload page: How to get there? Ask Hay if he's like to create a new main page and add it to the prototype for the UX study * Make it explicit that links on Step 4 are opening in another window, so people don't fear losing access to the page * For the study: tell participants the goal of the sessions is to upload 2 or 3 files, and let them figure out if they have to do it one by one, or if they can do all of them at once * Much discussion about how to allow users to choose languages quickly and intuitively, without inordinately privileging some languages. See [[Multimedia:Language selector]]. === Action steps === ;Guillaume * Address the "Next" issue (hide? grey out/disable? add visual clue + color ?) * Refine messaging of "plain English" license description; see if it makes sense to generalize it for other (all?) licenses * Address the "Where did my stuff go?" issue on Step 4 * Reach out to Hay to create new main page for the prototype * Create basic specs & sketches for [[Multimedia:Language selector|Language selector]] ;Neil TODO moved to [[Multimedia:Upload wizard/Tech notes]] == Deed and license selection == During the hallway testing we saw the deed & license selector could still be improved.

[[File:Deed and license selection - Upload wizard - Commons Prototype.png|thumb|667px|center|Step 2 of the Upload wizard, as it was on May 21, 2010 - Deed & license selection]] The problems are: * The user has to check a box for the deed, then check other boxes for the licenses, if they don't use the default. * The default license isn't explicitly labeled as "preferred". * Parts of the "plain English" explanation aren't clear enough * The plain English description of the license is only provided for the default license; we assumed the other licenses would only be of interest for experienced users, who knew what they meant. But some new users want to explore their choices and understand the differences between licenses. * The difference of presentation between the default license and the other licenses don't make it clear that they are representing the same thing. The proposed alternative to solve those issues is the following: [[File:Upload wizard - Deed and license selection May 2010.pdf|thumb|700px|center| Proposed alternative for the deed & license selection]] Comments: * We add a check box for the default license; that way, the user doesn't have to check a box for the deed, they only have to check it for the license, and all licenses behave (almost) the same way. * The default license is explicitly labeled as "preferred". * The deed is in plain English, remains very general and not attached to a specific license. * Instead, every license will contain a plain-English description; if they aren't already, they should be crowd-sourced and added to the [[:mw:Extension:WikimediaMessages|WikimediaMessages]] extension, and translated on translatewiki.net. * The default license now looks similar to the other alternatives. * We can still display the full list of accepted licenses, probably in an overlay. * We should check the wording of the deed with Mike.

The icons that were used for these added buttons were either taken from Monobook or drawn ad hoc. * Is there a repository of icons for extra buttons? * If we create some new and better Vector-style icons by ourselves, where should we share them, so all language projects will be able to reuse them easily? * Is there a style guide for drawing Vector icons? --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 08:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC) :I'd upload them to commons. Many old style buttons are already there, although a new category "Buttons for Vector skin" or so may be desirable. If you create new buttons, you should dual license them GPL to make sure there's no problem in potentially shipping them with mediawiki in the future. [[User:Platonides|Platonides]] 00:04, 20 July 2010 (UTC) :I had asked the he.wiki graphics guys to create new icons, and they did [http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%A7:%D7%A1%D7%93#.D7.9B.D7.A4.D7.AA.D7.95.D7.A8.D7.99.D7.9D_.D7.9C.D7.A1.D7.A8.D7.92.D7.9C_.D7.94.D7.97.D7.93.D7.A9], but as it turns out, it needs to be done with transparent background, as there are diff background colors in the toolbar. :Re gallery, there already is a page for toolbar icons in commons: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_edit_toolbar MediaWiki_edit_toolbar].

This page intends to be the point of contact for people interested in the accessibility of Wikimedia projects. As we understand accessibility as a natural part of usability, we have chosen the Usability wiki to host all our upcoming pages related to accessibility. Accessibility still has little significance on the agenda of the Wikimedia Foundation. There is no official project dedicated to accessibility. Accessibility bugs submitted to Bugzilla are often assigned a low importance and, thus, are never fixed. From our past experiences we have learnt that local efforts only don’t have the desired impact. The few accessibility advocates are not heard. But if we care about language communities with 10.000 speakers, we definitely must take care about millions of disabled. Therefore, we established the Wikimedia Accessibility Initiative as the global advocate of accessible Wikimedia projects. We want to set up an active group of experts that provides consistent and coordinated recommendations, rather than providing feedback as individuals with occasional and possibly divergent opinions. We want to collect, document and comment on global [[accessibility issues]], i.e. issues within MediaWiki and within common extensions, and of course provide solutions for found problems. We want to learn from successful local projects and provide [[best practices]] for local projects and for developers. We also want to create and then propose a high-level [[accessibility policy]] to the Wikimedia Foundation. The Accessibility Initiative can only be successful, if enough dedicated people participate. Naoko Komura, Head of UX Programs, has once phrased it nicely: We need to build enough momentum. We hope you join our efforts when reading this page. == Importance of accessibility == Why is accessibility of major importance to Wikimedia? Let us give you some statistics. According to the WHO report there are 161 million visually impaired world-wide including 37 million blind. In Germany alone we have 80.000 deaf using sign-language. A survery of the German Aktion Mensch found that deaf, people with learning disabilities, with mental disabilities or with dyslexia use wikis much less than people with other impairments. Collaboration is even lesser. Wikis are too complicated for them, because they don’t find information in the form they need, e.g. simple sentences or sign-language videos. The fact is: We know too little about what prevents people with disabilities to use Wikimedia projects, and, even more important, to participate. Even more overlooked are disabled people in the third world. Typically having no AT products at all, they need special support, e.g. a self-voicing Wikipedia (see discussion “[[Talk:Releases/Acai#Speak_to_the_blind.3F|Speak to the blind]]”). Wikipedia was the third most favorite website for screen reader users in early 2009 (see [http://www.webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey/ WebAIM survey]). == Scope of work == In the following you find the fields in which we want to contribute. If you have other ideas or comments that don’t fit into this classification, please share them nonetheless. === Strategic planning === We want to analyse the current [[accessibility strategy]] within Wikimedia project and within the Wikimedia Foundation, and work out strategic plans for both. This topic was raised during the strategic planning process of the Wikimedia Foundation, see the [[strategy:Proposal:Create_an_accessibility_committee|proposal to create an accessibility committee]] and the lean category on [[strategy:Category:Proposals_for_improving_accessibility|proposals for improving accessibility]]. Eugene, of Blue Oxen, [http://strategy.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Strategic_Plan/Movement_Priorities&offset=20100511225134#Encourage_Diversity:_For_people_with_disabilities_4987 asks us to] “[…] think at a movement-level. In other words, don’t just think about what the Wikimedia Foundation can do to improve accessibility. Think about what partners, the community at large could do.” === Proposal of accessibility policy === As a concrete goal within developing an [[accessibility strategy]] we want to propose a high-level [[accessibility policy]] for the Wikimedia Foundation. Accessibility must become an accepted and communicated goal of the Foundation. === Best practices === [[Best practices]]: found by local initiatives === Feedback on prototypes === One goal is to provide feedback on the prototypes of the UX team, so we have fairly accessible tools before conducting an accessibility audit. * [[Prototype]] (editing) * http://commons.prototype.wikimedia.org/js2/Special:UploadWizard (upload) === Feedback on accessibility issues === [[Accessibility issues]]: throughout all Wikimedia projects, MediaWiki core code and extensions == What can you do? == '''Join our initiative.'''<br />Let us know you are involved with accessibility. Put your name on the particpants list, or leave a note on the talk page, or visit us in the IRC channel, or get in contact with a trusted particpant. '''Spread the word.'''<br />Advertise the Wikimedia Accessibility Initative so that people become aware and possible join our efforts. You can write blog postings (e.g. [http://blog.wikimedia.fr/focus-sur-laccessibilite-1624 French] and [http://blog.wikimedia.de/2010/04/21/barrierefreiheit-international/ German] Wikimedia blog), write a note at your local initiatives, talk to people you know who are interested in accessibility etc. '''Share your ideas.'''<br />Put down and discuss your ideas either on the (talk) pages or in the IRC channel. You can also send an email to the above stated participants. They will be glad to answer questions or to receive your input. '''Report issues.'''<br />If you are aware of accessibilty issues in Wikimedia projects report them. Only what is known can be fixed. Leave a short explanation on the [[accessibility issues|issue page]] or contact any of the initiative’s participants. '''Fix issues.'''<br />If you are able to fix existing accessibilty issues, do so! '''Get support.''' '''Propose best practices.'''<br />If you have experience from you local accessibility initiatives or from your own efforts, note them down in the [[best practices]] page. '''Improve these pages.'''<br />When you find information gaps, bad wording, poor examples or just wrong spelling or grammar, go ahead and improve our pages. After all, this is a wiki. == Coordination == We have set up the irc channel [irc://chat.freenode.net/wikimedia-accessibility #wikimedia-accessibility] for internal coordination and questions. If you find no one present, do send an email to one of the participants. Other channels like [irc://chat.freenode.net/wikipedia_usability #wikipedia_usability] may be used as well for discussion. === Participants === Of course, you don’t have to put yourself in a list to advocate accessibility. But it could be helpful for others in order to find a contact person, for general enquiries, or for support in local projects. * Danny, user [[User:Danny B.|Danny B.]] * Rodan Bury, user [[user:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]]: Rodan is a member of the French accessibility project. He’s sometimes also working on the English Wikipedia. He is interested in usability, accessibility and web standards in general. * Samuel Klein, user [[User:Sj|sj]] * Maria Schiewe, user [[User:Lecartia|Lecartia]]: Maria is an ordinary board member of Wikimedia Deutschland. In 2009 Wikimedia Deutschland’s board agreed on [[m:Kompass_2020/Usability/Technik|three goals regarding accessibility and usability]] until 2020. (One objective: Wikimedia is a reference example of web accessibility and usability.) These goals were approved by the general assembly in 2010.<br />Maria is an employee of a manufacturer of assistive technology (Braille displays etc.) and currently works as an accessibility consultant for a German public authority. Before that, she was a research associate developing two-dimensional haptic user interfaces. Maria’s expertise and knowledge focuses on blind and visually impaired users. But she also has a strong interest in the needs of deaf users. * User [[User:Reaperman|Reaperman]] === Local initiatives === These are the local initiatives we are currently aware of, grouped by language. Apart from a global Accessibility Initiative we need strong local ones. Often local projects fail because there are too few people involved. So please join and support them, if you are interested. * Czech Wikipedia: [[:cs:Wikipedie:WikiProjekt Přístupnost|WikiProjekt Přístupnost]] * English Wikipedia: [[:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility|WikiProject Accessibility]] * French Wikipedia: [[:fr:Wikipédia:Atelier accessibilité|Wikipédia:Atelier accessibilité]] * German Wikipedia: [[:de:WP:BIENE|Wikipedia:BIENE]] * Italian Wikipedia: [[:it:Wikipedia:Accessibilità del contenuto|Wikipedia:Accessibilità del contenuto]] (since 2004) * [[:he:ויקיפדיה:נגישות]] * [[:ja:Wikipedia:アクセシビリティ]] * [[:pt:Wikipedia:Acessibilidade]] == Actions taken == At Wikimania Rodan will gave the [[wm2010:Submissions/First_steps_towards_accessibility|presentation “First steps towards accessibility”]], summarizing the findings of a French accessibility expert regarding MediaWiki and Wikimedia. Complementary, Danny and Maria run the [[wm2010:Submissions/Accessibility_Workshop|hands-on workshop “Hear and feel your MediaWiki code at work”]]. Maria has nominated the German Wikipedia for an [http://www.biene-wettbewerb.de/ accessibility award called BIENE]. The results will be presented in December 2010. Although our chances of winning are low, we will receive an extensive report of accessibility issues found by the expert testers. Wikimedia Germany is in contact with the German Central Library for the Blind (DZB), who have had a look at Vector's accessibility. Some results can be found at [[mw:Accessibility]]. == Resources == === Recommended reading === * Shawn Henry: ''Just Ask: Integrating Accessibility Throughout Design''.

Most AT products offer a “demo mode”, i.e. they run fully functional for a specified time, but you need to re-boot your system after this time has elapsed. Therefore, VM come in handy. Don’t install various AT products alongside as they can interfere. Better use one VM for one product. The article ''[http://yuiblog.com/blog/2008/12/30/configuring-screen-readers/ Configuring Your Machine For Testing With A Screen Reader]'' explains how to set up your VM and how to configure JAWS, Window-Eyes, and NVDA for your testing. ==== Screen reader ==== Screen readers are great to get an idea on how blind users navigate through a page. It's great for demonstration. Be aware however that their implementation vary, and they can't be used to accurately measure the accessibility of a page. Use W3C's guidelines instead. * JAWS: JAWS is the most widely used screen reader in North America and Western Europe. It’s current version 11 is available from [http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/jaws-product-page.asp Freedom Scientific]. Without an authorisation code JAWS runs as a 40 minute demo.

Our plan: # We add separate pages for each accessibility issue with a detailed description and possibly a possible patches. (Bugzilla is not the best place for doing this, because possibilities and participants are limited.). # We sort or group the issues regularly and prioritize them according their impact. # We then point the UX team or responsible developers to the issues in order of the chosen priority. (Then we will probably add the issues in Bugzilla to keep track of the fixes.) Even though there are already a couple of accessibility bugs submitted to Bugzilla, they are often assigned a low importance and, thus, are never fixed. Maybe we can have an ''Issue of the Week'' we focus on and that we discuss in the chat. == Report template == A page reporting an issue may contain the following: * short description * long description * documentation of failure (screenshot, speech output…) * links to resources from accessibility professionals, or guidelines ([[:en:WCAG 2.0|WCAG 2.0]], [http://www.webaim.org/standards/508/checklist WebAIM's cheklist], [http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=32765 IITAA] and their [http://www.dhs.state.il.us/IITAA/IITAAWebImplementationGuidelines.html accessibility guidelines]...) * working example: an example of similar functionality elsewhere that is accessible * … == Vector Issues == *Search button not accessible (background image without alt text), see [http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-HTML-TECHS/H36.html H36: Using alt attributes on images used as submit buttons] and [http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-HTML-TECHS/G196.html G196: Using a text alternative on one item within a group of images that describes all items in the group].

The general dilemma across most Wikimedia channels and mailing lists today is the lack of traffic and the difficulty in discovering what is going on where. Recentchanges helps avoid this, and was an essential innovation in wikis; we need something similar for other channels.

You said we should have discussions where people are. I agree with that, but please note that I, for example, have never been to #wikimedia or any other channel you mentioned. #wikimedia-usability would be the most fitting channel from your suggestions, but that doesn’t meen abandoning #wikimedia-accessibility. The latter has worked for me so far, but you might be right that it’s an extra barrier when we want to involve people.

An accessibility expert to me that it's not a priority. Since blind users on the Web have their own screen reader, how would such a feature help? Yours, [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 14:36, 7 May 2010 (UTC) :Hi Dodoïste, my idea is not about meeting standards, but about providing access to blind people who are not so fortunate to have assistive technology available, mostly in developing countries. I am sure sj could explain this need concretely in connection with the One Laptop per Child project. [[User:Lecartia|Lecartia]] 23:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC) ::OK. Yes, I'd love to have details about it. Some free screen readers like NVDA are available, so why not provide NVDA on the One Laptop per Child project?

I just mention the thread "[Wikitech-l] Visual impairment" on Wikitech-l and Foundation-l these days. ~ [[User:Seb35|Seb35]] [[User talk:Seb35|<small>[^_^]</small>]] 12:54, 16 May 2010 (UTC) :For info, here is the link to the [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/196637 "Wikitech-l Visual impairment" thread archive]. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 20:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC) == Dive into Accessibility - Wikipedia == Hi! I got a bit interested in this when I heard about it on the strategy wiki. I therefore read through the "Dive into Accessibility" webpage and tried to use that to analyze Wikipedia. Don't know if it is of any interest, especially as I suspect that the information might be somewhat deprecated. But anyway, here are my comments: {| class="wikitable" |- !Accessibility requirement !Implemented on Wikipedia? |- |Day 6 - Choosing a DOCTYPE: |Yes |- |Day 7 - Identifying your language |Almost, but not exactly (Wikipedia does not have the xml:lang="en" parameter, only the lang="en" parameter). |- |Day 8 - Constructing meaningful page titles |Yes |- |Day 9 - Providing additional navigation aids |There is no <link rel="home"> tag on Wikipedia, could easily be implemented. Neither are there "prev" and "next" links, but I am not sure there is any reason for implementing these on Wikipedia. For other projects with multiple page articles these might however make sense. |- |Day 10 - Presenting your main content first |Not clear to me if this is done in an optimal way. (Think this one is worth researching) |- |Day 11 - Skipping over navigation links |Has to be considered in connection with Day 10 |- |Day 12 - Using color safely |Links can appear as ordinary text to color blind. The solution to decorate the links that is given in the book is probably not feasable for Wikipedia. So is there any other possible solution? |- |Day 13 - Using real links |There is javascript on Wikipedia, but I don't find any javascript links as those described in this problem. So at least to this extent this seems to be satisfied on Wikipedia. |- |Day 14 - Adding titles to links |Don't know if this is done satisfactory on Wikipedia. Many links do have title. Among those that not have are the interwiki links between different language versions in the Vector skin (I guess this is very simple to fix if it is wanted), and also some external links that are added by editors. |- |Day 15 - Defining keyboard shortcuts |Yes (if any additional shortcuts should be included could surely be discussed though). Maybe "skip navigation link" is something that should be implemented, this is related to day 10-11. |- |Day 16 - Not opening new windows |Yes |- |Day 17 - Defining acronyms |For reader of Wikipedia I don't think this is a problem. But on discussion pages I think this is a real problem for new users (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Acronyms). |- |Day 18 - Giving your calendar a real caption | |- |Day 19 - Using real table headers | |- |Day 20 - Providing a summary for tables |Wikitables allows for summaries, but does not require them. If this is important, I guess it would be a quite easy task to write a bot that goes through all Wikipedia articles and collects information about which tables are in need of summaries. |- |Day 21 - Ignoring spacer images |Seems to be satisfied. |- |Day 22 - Using real lists (or faking them properly) |I think this is satisfied. |- |Day 23 - Providing text equivalents for images |The image tag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Images) does have an alt parameter, but it doesn't seem to be used very much. A similar bot as that for the table summary problem of day 20 could probably be written here. Maybe empty alt parameters could be replaced by an approperiate standard text. |- |Day 24 - Providing text equivalents for image maps | |- |Day 25 - Using real horizontal rules (or faking them properly) | |- |Day 26 - Using relative font sizes |? |- |Day 27 - Using real headers |? |- |Day 28 - Labeling form elements | |- |Day 29 - Making everything searchable |Yes. Does however recommend accesskey="4" instead of accesskey="f". |- |Day 30 - Creating an accessibility statement |No? |} --[[User:Dafer45|Dafer45]] 18:25, 26 May 2010 (UTC) :Hello Dafer45, many thanks for your efforts! I will have a look at that in detail later and try to fill the gaps. [[User:Lecartia|Lecartia]] 09:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC) ::Hello, ::I am one of the two experts who gave a talk about Wikipedia and accessibility at Paris Web 2009, as mentioned on [[Submissions/First steps towards accessibility|this submission for the next Wikimania]]. ::This check-list was written at a time WCAG were in their 1.0 version -back to 1999. The Web has evolved since, ant the WCAG 2.0 now provide many new examples of best practices. For example, providing titles to links is no longer a strict requirement, as the ''context'' of each link should be taken into account. Keyboard shortcuts, a big #fail of Web accessibility, are no longer necessary, etc. There are a few of other points here that are not mandatory. ::Most important, this is not really how the source code is organized and can produce accessible content which has a major impact on the effective accessibility of a page. It is the way contributors do produce content which is the main source of accessibility problems. You may have the most efficient CMS in the world, the fact is, that if your content producer writes a tag soup, it will remain a tag soup until someone else comes and corrects it. [[User:Litlok|Litlok]] 11:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC) Hi, Litlok, it’s great to see you here. I hope MediaWiki’s (missing) accessibility will get lots of chances to profit from your expertise. I hope you or Dodoiste can give the WMF some figures on this topic, especially on ''“It is the way contributors do produce content which is the main source of accessibility problems.”'' [[User:Lecartia|Lecartia]] 13:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC) == Wikimédia France and blog post == Hi, last Tuesday we discussed between members (not at a Board-level) about projects Wikimédia France could lauched and an idea was to support accessibility projects like this project and/or the Orca project (it's just ideas for now). So if WMFr could do something for the WAI, please say it (email me if I don't respond) and I could propose to the WMFr Board a precise project, possibly shared with other chapters and/or the Foundation. : Seb35, this can be an excellent idea. I (as acting for Wikimedia Deutschland) like to see concrete projects together with other chapters and the foundation. Seb35, is there any chance you are attending Wikimania in Poland?

He argued that licensing should not be combined with all the other information, nor should there be licensing "overrides" where some uploads on the page use the deed chooser at the top of the page, and others are set individually. Demonstrated current interface which implements desired behaviour and argued was too complicated. NeilK suggested another interface where licensing is optionally set for all uploads in a separate step. This also means that the anticipated "Incomplete Uploads" page would not be exactly identical to step 2 of the Upload Wizard, but NeilK & Guillaume have worked out an alternative batch interface (just mockups so far). With demos, argument accepted tentatively by Naoko & Guillaume, but everyone would like to see the 4 step process ASAP before we do anything else to see if our intuitions are correct. NeilK estimates this will take 1-2 days. ===Validation and Help=== All agree the form needs some help or other examples, as well as corrective messages when the user does incorrect input. For the most part, we prevent the user from even being able to input anything incorrectly, but for the cases where we do, we will use the following principles: * Tooltips and errors take the form of a floating "post-it note" with a small triangle sticking out of one edge, pointing at the field in question. Tooltips will be a neutral color, errors will be reddish. * When a field has focus, show a tooltip with an example or other helpful information about how to fill out the form. (Deferred: It should be possible for expert users to indicate that they don't want to see these any more.) * When content can be analyzed for errors, give instant or near-instant feedback upon entering data (such as the filename field, which automatically checks for uniqueness) * If field is blank, give error feedback upon the user trying to submit, with a similar tooltip * When an error is caught, outline the field in red and show an error "post-it". Do not wait for user to give the field focus to show this. If the "post-it" is longer than one line, show some interface widget to expand it (do not allow these error post-its to "overlap"). These messages should be brief. If we want to get discursive, we may also include a button in the tooltip to pop up a modal dialog to explain further. * If errors are not caught somehow before submission, be ready to populate the form with errors detected server-side. What needs tooltip help? * Title * Description * Source * Author * License (?) * Date (explain that it should be date photo was taken, picture painted, etc.) * Location * Categories * Other information What kinds of error messages might occur? * Title too short * Title too long (or truncated) * Title is not acceptable (common autogenerated filename, not descriptive -- viz. feature on Commons today) * Title is already taken by another filename (show interface similar to Add Media Wizard; thumbnail with option to overwrite that image). :* n.b. we will always allow uploading of an image, even if it has a title which is the same as another. Currently accomplished by secretly uploading the file with an autogenerated filename, then changing the name to the desired one later on in the wizard; this approach may not be suitable for final version of app * Need at least one description, of a reasonable length * Description too short * Description too long (or truncated) * Date in improper format * Other information... ?? bad wikitext? * Source too short * Source too long (or truncated) * ?? Source bad URL (if appears to be an inaccessible or broken URL?) * Author too short * Author too long (or truncated) * Failed to select license * Signature too short * Signature too long * ... probably others Guillaume suggested that the title could sometimes be derived from description, but no one could agree on the semantics of when this would occur, so the idea was shelved for now. ===Category Widget=== Nice to have.

I'm not sure it really is an issue. If one was to use a button with the keyboard, he would actually need to 1. select the text 2. use tab key to reach the button, thus losing the selection of the text. As far as I know, it's almost impossible (or really complicated, and several experts would be needed to make it happen). [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] 15:55, 24 May 2010 (UTC) :I have no solution to the core problem, but please note that Firefox behaves in such a nice way that makes it usable. If you select text in an edit field, you can leave it selected, tab back or forth, press some button and the action is applied to the previously selected text in the edit field, because the selection is saved. You can check this by just selecting text inside the main editing field, tab to the summary edit field, and tab back. Voilà! Your text is still selected. So as this is doable in Firefox, I would like to see the toolbar fully keyboard accessible.

Good points: * sorting by ISO codes will naturally group language variants together, such as Chinese Traditional (zh-tw) and Chinese Simplified (zh-cn). * Speakers of the language see the name of the language in the most common form. * Each language is treated equally Bad points: * The ordering is very unintuitive, since the ISO codes aren't even shown and sometimes bear no relationship to what the user is searching for. Users may assume that they should be looking for the name in English, or in the interface language. In some informal usability testing, we've seen users confused why "Fijian Hindi" is listed in English but Hindi is listed in Devanagari script. ** (Response: All names are listed in the interface language currently, '''including''' Fiji Hindi. The reason it appears in Latin alphabet is that the Fiji Hindi Wikipedia uses almost exclusively Latin alphabet.) --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 22:13, 7 June 2010 (UTC) * The very long number of options is time-consuming to scroll, even if you know what you're looking for. ==Requirements?== * Treat every language fairly. :* (Unclear) do not privilege languages just for being popular. (?) There may be ways to speed up the interface for common languages without impeding uncommon languages. * Include every reasonable language and subgroup (although, Wikimedia has significantly departed from ISO standards...) :* As far as I am aware, we have only departed from ISO standards in a handful of very limited cases which are now "grandfathered in", can you please elaborate? --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 22:15, 7 June 2010 (UTC) ::* FYI: We currently have roughly 20 out of 300+ cases of abbreviations for languages which, or the uses of which, are not 100% conforming to the standard BCP47. About a dozen aof those are planned to be changed to standard ones sooner or later, Some of those are only used at specific places and do not appear elsewhere. --[[User:Purodha|Purodha]] 01:40, 27 November 2010 (UTC) * Support, where necessary, bilingual users. Should be easy to switch between your preferred languages. ==Use cases== * '''Input''' Wikimedia Commons is inherently multilingual. All media items have a description field that may be split into multiple languages. The only time a "switch" between languages is necessary is when entering such descriptions. * '''Linking -- this might not be relevant to the question of how to input data?''' The Wikipedias each cover just one language. However, there are cross-language-wiki links maintained between articles that are deemed to be about the same thing. In the past this has just been a list of links in the left-hand column, ordered in the traditional (bad) ISO 639 code manner. ==Approaches taken by other sites== * [[Image:Facebook-lang-select.png|thumb]] '''Show every language offered, in its own script and language'''. Many sites offer a drop-down list like this. However it is difficult to scale. Facebook takes it the furthest by showing every language they offer in a large grid. : Facebook (circa mid 2010) offers the site internationalized to about 80 languages, some of which are in beta. Their interface selection widget pops up a matrix of choices, which show the name of the language localized to that language. This has the advantage that users can scan the entire list all at once. Multiple ordering approaches seem to be used, with most European languages sorted lexicographically, the Chinese variants grouped together, Japanese off by itself, and the others consigned to a column of miscellaneous languages. :: A better explanation of that: Korean, Chinese, Thai and Japanese are sorted according to English alphabetical order by their native name (Hangukmal, Zhongwen, Thai and Nihongo respectively) --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 22:16, 7 June 2010 (UTC) * '''Show every language offered, in the current user interface language AND in its own script and language'''. Google does this when setting language preferences in certain places. It's probably the most usable. :Most sites comparable to Wikimedia Commons typically only offer translations in ten or perhaps twenty languages. At the time of writing Wikimedia Commons has 356. So this common solution is not going to work for us. While we could probably get what Spanish is in English and vice versa, discovering the Quechua name for Japanese may be flat out impossible. : [http://www.unilang.org/ Unilang] -- has a drop down menu with English name of language, followed by name of language localized in that language. Sorted by English name of major language family, but then dialects and subgroups are sorted beneath that no matter what their English name is. Although the rest of the site has a localizable interface this menu is ''always'' displayed in English. (wisely avoiding the n**2 problem of translating every language in every language). However, we don't have the option of privileging English. :: This is probably not an acceptable solution for us. This gives English a favored status, which may be acceptable for Unilang as an organization but is not for us. Accusations of attempted imposition of Anglocentric cultural hegemony will arise very quickly if people on the French Wikipedia see English names for all languages. --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 22:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC) :::<s>Node ue, what about "in the current user interface language" seems anglocentric to you? [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 00:18, 8 June 2010 (UTC)</s> :::Node ue: never mind, I see you're reacting to the Unilang example. That was just the closest thing I could find to what I'm describing. I agree it's not acceptable for us. [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 00:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC) :::: The n**2 problem is basically being solved by the UNICODE CLDR [http://cldr.unicode.org/], and http://translatewiki.net/ is using a language picker inside MediaWiki that uses its data. A drawback may be that the CLDR data is not very complete yet, and it has a ''very'' slow update cycle at the moment between half a year and three years. I believe that upgrading the language picker to show additional infor mation, such as the language code and/or the language names in the interface language would be pretty straightforward. [[wikipedia:ksh:User talk:Purodha|Tell me]] if you want me to investigate that further, or make it. --[[User:Purodha|Purodha]] 01:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC) ===Other resources=== * [http://imagexmedia.com/support/faqs/general-questions/how-should-language-selection-be-displayed-web ImageXMedia] has a good resource on approaches taken by various sites, what to do, and what not to do. ==Ideas== ===Predictive text input=== [[Image:Flickr-contact-search.png|thumb]] Guillaume proposed a predictive typing interface that matches on all the strings we know of, plus the ISO 639 code. So one could find the Chinese language by typing "ch" to find its English name, "zh" for its language code, or by typing 中文. Facebook and Flickr use similar interfaces to quickly search for contacts, and this approach has been proven to scale to hundreds of entries. This is a clever solution since it allows us to make the best use of incomplete information. If we don't have the Swahili translation of Japanese, we don't include it as a possible input. If we *do* happen to have it, great. This is a largish subproject with uses outside Multimedia usability (or even Wikimedia generally) which may need its own scoping, probably its own extension. However, we don't have to code this from scratch. There exist some standard widgets for predictive search, or remote AJAX search from text entry. ===Geographically-oriented input=== The idea here is to offer users a way to navigate through languages in a value-neutral manner. 1) We would divide up the world into hierarchical regions, and obtain translated names for that short list of regions, in as many languages as possible. 2) Then, we offer a hierarchical menu, starting with the continents, and then show the user languages which are common in that region. Here's an example of looking for Spanish while browsing with an English interface. * South America :* Portuguese (Brazilian)''' :* '''Spanish''' OR * Europe :* Spain ::* Catalan ::* '''Spanish''' While this is possibly a convenient way to pick a language, another solution must be devised to show the user's choices (particularly if they make multiple selections, as when setting preferences). == Problems with many of the proposals on this page == It seems that many of these proposals presuppose that all users looking for a language have some degree of proficiency in English, which is not necessarily the case. If I only speak Quechua, how am I going to know to look under English-language labels like "South America" to find it? For a reverse example... if you're looking for English, would you know to choose between the labels "ევროპის", "აფრიკა", "აზია", "ჩრდილოეთი ამერიკა" and "სამხრეთ ამერიკა" (the names of the continents in [[:w:Georgian language|Georgian]]) to find your language? '''Any solution must take into account the fact that there are many, many people on this planet who are monolingual in languages other than English and cannot understand even one single short word of the language'''. --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 22:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC) :We are trying to craft proposals which aren't English-specific. I see your point, which is actually orthogonal to geography or English -- you're saying that the current interface language may not be a language that the user speaks, so they can't navigate a menu, of any kind, unless they see some string of characters they understand. If we can't put every language on the screen, they have to be able to guess that there is such a widget, and intuit how to use it without words. But, if we assume we have to have a language-interface-switcher on every page, the only solution is to have every language on every page, in some way, as a menu, popup, predictive text input, or paragraph of 356 links. Is there an elegant solution to this? An icon with little word balloons coming off of a globe, that pops up some sort of widget? [[User:NeilK|NeilK]] 00:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC) ::Well, my example was merely written from the point of view of a non-English speaker who visits a page on the English Wikipedia, but it could be applied to anybody at a site in a language they don't understand. As far as an elegant solution, any solution has to be very, very easy to figure out, which icons might not necessarily be. Another possible downside to anything that is hidden is that it takes an extra click to find out if a version in your language is available... say I prefer Swahili, I'm at the page [[:w:Baby boomer]]... I want to view the article in my language, but it's not there. With a language like Swahili, in which it's relatively uncommon to find Interwiki links from en.wp (sw.wp has 18K articles compared to millions on en.wp), users would probably not even bother. Having the language name there, announcing itself, is like stumbling upon buried treasure for many people. ::As far as having 356 links, that could be a problem in the future, but it isn't right now. See [http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/count-langlinks.txt] - at the English Wikipedia, only about 3% of articles have more than 13 interwikis, and only a couple thousand articles have more than 50. I agree that a better solution should be found than having 250+ links, but we have to try to do that without sacrificing ease-of-use. --[[User:Node ue|Node ue]] 00:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC) mvvkuftfhpyg4i99ezpjox2xxi2xcpz 6 1197 7157 2010-05-24T23:02:40Z NeilK 1629 == Summary == How Facebook allows the user to select interface language -- a modal popup showing a matrix of all available languages (about 80).

Basically we’re going to be recording both your computer screen, and your face through that camera, and then our audio conversation. Those recordings are going to be posted on the internet under Creative Commons licensing, so they’ll be available for anyone who’s interested in this research to view at least part of them. By signing here, you’re agreeing that’s okay. Also, if you initial down below, we’ll label the video with your first name. If you’d rather we didn’t, we’ll label it with a made- up name instead. In either case, your face will be visible and your voice audible. Do you have any questions? '''For Remote Sessions''': Prior to today, you should have received and returned a consent form for recording of this session. Basically we’re going to be recording both your computer screen and our audio conversation. Those recordings are going to be posted on the internet under Creative Commons licensing, so they’ll be available for anyone who’s interested in this research to view at least part of them. You will not be personally identified but your voice will be audible. Depending on what you’ve checked on your consent form, we’ll either label the video with just your first name, or make up a name. Do you have any questions? == Overview + Setup == Great, let’s talk a little about what were going to be doing here today. We’re collecting feedback on Wikipedia.org. Basically, I’ll ask you some questions and then watch you use the web site. The whole thing will take about 75 minutes. Your job is really easy: you just have to be yourself and act as you naturally would. I did not design this website, and I don’t actually work directly for Wikipedia, I’m just collecting feedback, so I promise, nothing you say could hurt my feelings! As you use the site, please be honest with your positive and negative thoughts. There are no right or wrong answers. You are not being tested; the Wikipedia webpage is being tested. == Background Questions == So let’s get started with a few quick background questions.<br /> 1. Please tell me a little about yourself. What do you do? Where are you from?<br /> 1.5. Tell me about how computers fit into your day. How much time do you spend online? Do you publish a website or blog? Contribute reviews on Amazon or Yelp? What kinds of software do you use<br /> 2. What was it you were doing on Wikipedia when you filled out the survey a few weeks ago?<br /> 3. You said you come to Wikipedia [INSERT] often. What are you usually looking up/doing?<br /> 4. How has your experience been in the past?<br /> 4a. Non-Editors Only: You mentioned that you haven’t edited Wikipedia before, but you’d be willing to. What are the reasons that you haven’t in the past?<br /> 4b. Non-Editors Only: Can you tell me what you know now about the process of editing?<br /> 4c. Editors Only: You mentioned that you have contributed to Wikipedia before. What are your impressions of the contribution and editing process?<br /> == Tasks + Testing == Next I’d like to have you go on Wikipedia to do a couple of tasks. As we do this, there’s one thing that I would like you to keep in mind. Please “think aloud” as you use the web site today. For example, if you are reading something, read it out loud and feel free to say anything that comes to your mind as you read - for example that’s interesting or what in the world are they talking about? Also, think out loud while you’re doing a task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing. (e.g.: Now I’m going to try to use the search engine) And, if you get to a point where you would naturally stop working, let me know. I’ll let you decide when your task is complete, whether you find what you are looking for or not. Just tell me when you’re finished.<br /> <br /> Do you have any questions before we continue?<br /> <br /> Today, we’re going to be focusing on navigating through the website and making changes to Wikipedia entries. Let’s go to the Wikipedia website. In your browser, please go to www.wikipedia.org and then click ENGLISH === Basic Editing === 1. Do you have a Wikipedia account? Note, moderator will provide them with preset credentials. <br/><br/> 2. Let’s take a look at an article on Wikipedia on something that you know a lot about. If participant can’t remember or declines, suggest: Hometown; Favorite sports team, movie, singer, actor; last meal you had/book you read; College or University you attended. First I’d like for you to just spend some time on the page, look around, and talk to me about the different features you see here. <br/><br/> 3. Ok, let’s say you wanted to add some information to this page. What would you do first? <br/><br/> 4. After user discovers the editing interface: Take a moment to look around the page here. Talk to me about the tools that you see here and how you might use them. 5. Ok, so let’s go ahead and add some information to this page. The information can be anything you want. How would you do that? If participant cannot think of text to add, suggest “Free knowledge for everyone on the planet.” <br/><br/> 6. What do you think about that list of links to the right hand side of the edit box (TOC)? What do you think is going on there. Skip if no TOC on chosen page. <br/><br/> 7. What about linking the information you added to a page somewhere else on the internet? How would you do that? <br/><br/> 8. Let’s say you want to link the information you added to the page to another page on Wikipedia. How would you do that? <br/><br/> 9. Let’s say you want to add a reference to this page, like a footnote, which will appear at the bottom of the page in the References. Add the reference to something that you have added to the page. How would you do that? <br/><br/> 10. How likely would you be to do this? <br/><br/> 11. Now that you’ve used the editing interface a bit, is there anything that strikes you as confusing? Prompt about navigation & other elements of the toolbar <br/><br/> 12. Is there anything missing that you’d normally expect to see? <br/><br/> 13. Let’s say you’re satisfied with the changes you’ve made and want to add them to Wikipedia. How would you go about doing that? Note: Explore Save & Preview choices. <br/><br/> 14. Now that you’ve done this, how likely is it that you would do it again or more often? <br/><br/> 15. Please go to the discussion page for this article. Have you ever read, used or contributed to a discussion page for a Wikipedia article? If so, please tell me about that. <br/><br/> === Advanced Editing === Next we’re going to try some other editing tasks. If user is already on entry for a location, then we can remain on this page. If not, direct the user to call up their Hometown page. If Hometown page does not have Template, then direct user to San Francisco, CA page, 1. First, take a look at the long box of information that runs down the right-hand side of the page. Please take a minute to scan it. Now, let’s say you just moved to this city / town and wanted to change the population info to be one greater. How would you do that? <br/><br/> 3a. If the participant doesn’t use the Infobox, then: Let’s take a look at the item in the edit area labeled: “Infobox settlement:” ... Please take a minute to interact with it and give me your thoughts. What do you think this is for? <br/><br/> 2. Does the Infobox item work generally as you’d expect? If participant has only discovered Expansion feature, then prompt for Overlay, and vice versa. <br/><br/> 3. Next, I’d like you to create a new section on this page. If this location page has a Sports section, add new subsection titled “Rivalries” ... If this location page does not have a Sports Section, then ask the user to add one ... Note that the user should make text Bold and increase Font Size <br/><br/> 2. Ok, next I’d like you to enter some information under this new section. I’d like you to add a simple table. This table should show the different sports rivalries with this town. The table should look something like this: In person interviews hand the following to the participant. Remote users will be given a link to a web page with this diagram. <br/><br/> {| class="wikitable" |- ! Sport !! Hometown Team !! Rival Team |- | Baseball || Team || Team |- | Football || Team || Team |- | Basketball || Team || Team |} === Optional Questions – Time Permitting === 1. What about the View History page? <br/><br/> 2. If you wanted to create a completely new article entry, how would you do that? Suggest using a completely made up historical figure. <br/><br/> 3. Let’s say you wanted help during this process. Where would you go? Prompt to explore toolbar help. <br/><br/> == Final Questions + Wrap up == 1. Looking back, what do you think of everything you've seen and used? 2. What did you like the most? 3. The least? 4. What might encourage or increase your participation on Wikipedia.org? 5. If there was one comment that you would want to make sure that everyone at Wikipedia working on this project heard, what would it be? 6.Would it be okay for us to contact you if we have any follow up questions or information? 3mkfmmvz0c00fnqz0p695w3iwo0zusq 0 1199 8944 8941 2010-09-26T18:03:12Z Cbrown1023 7 /* Phase IV Deployment */ new CentralNotices were already published on Meta. 8944 wikitext text/x-wiki {{TOCright}} The User Experience Team and other Wikimedians are currently in [[Releases/Default_Switch#Phase_V_Deployment|Phase V]] and getting ready to roll-out the default interface called "Vector" along with other usability improvements to the remaining Wikimedia projects. :''Note: PR = pre-release and PO = post-release.'' == Phase I Deployment == * [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]], completed on April 5, 2010 == Phase II Deployment == * [[:en:|English Wikipedia]], completed on May 13, 2010 ([[English Wikipedia Default Links]]) == Phase III Deployment == * <span class="plainlinks">[http://wikipedia.org/ Top 10 Wikipedias]</span>, 5:30 UTC/07:30 CEST, Thursday, June 10 / 22:30 PDT, June 9. {| class="wikitable plainlinks" |- ! lang !

I think your initial approach of four different status (1.Needs attention, 2.In progress, 3. Ready to be published, 4.

As we publish the translation which are ready while others may be still in progress, separating these two status will be important. Will you reflect the change as we progress the work?

Ambassadors are responsible for: making sure that the community knows about the changes, making sure all the relevant pages are translated (they don't have to translate it all themselves though), and dealing with feedback. In dealing with feedback, they make sure that the easy questions are answered (Where'd the watchlist button go? it's still there, just looks different; How do I get back? Click here; etc.) and that the tough questions ''or'' bug reports are sent to the Usability Team. Nothing's really set in stone yet, because this is all a new process.

As seems thoose IPs are frequent readers of Wikipedia. There are some positive comments, but they are less frequent. One of the users thought that links to the other languages are missing. As for registered users: * Some say they simply dislike it or that it's uncomfortable to use it. * Some users also say it's too curly and colourful and such (e.g. suggest that the star is childish). * One of the users couldn't find the move link. * Some dislike the dropdown menu with actions (as it seems worthless to hide just few options). Might be worth a thought to make more things easily adjustable for ones needs - e.g currently there is an option to disable hiding section of the sidebar menu; similar options might be added for the search box and dropdown for actions. I think a good idea would be to add such functionality for unregistered users - you could serialize options in a single cookie (e.g. "{search:'left-top', dropmenu:'disabled', sidemenu:{disabled:false, hide:['p-interaction', 'p-coll-print_export']}}"). You could use JSON.stringify for that. You could also use localStorage which is a bit better as it works for all tabs. --[[User:Nux|Nux]] 17:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC) Another day, more complaining. It's just a one big rant. Kinda annoying I must say. People are complaining but are unable to show one example of a big website that allows users to switch back to a completely different, old layout... But besides ranting here are some new concerns and issues: * People are complaining that Vector takes up more space on top. Pictures: [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plik:Haslo_pl-wiki_Vector_FF_363-Style_zalogowanego.png] [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plik:Haslo_poczatek_porownanie_M_i_V_FF_363.png]. Not sure if this should be reported as a bug. * One of the users said that the link creator is uncomfortable for small devices without a mouse (I'm guessing buttons are small, but I don't have got a smartphone). * The same users complains that on smartphones with Symbian the searchbar becomes unreadable. But I've seen something about smartphones on wikitech, so you are probably already working on it. * Some users suggested that some global options would be nice, as they are not fond of changing skin back for every language. Not sure if this is something WUI team should do... It would be great if you could enable "useskin" from COOKIE rather then GET only. It would then be easy to make a script to change the skin dynamically. Just a thought. --[[User:Nux|Nux]] 21:46, 11 June 2010 (UTC) There were actually some positive opinions yesterday and today about the layout, logo and even the search bar :-). Besides that we have a [http://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Kawiarenka/Propozycje&oldid=22062619#Powr.C3.B3t_do_poprzedniej_wersji_loga vote on brining back the old logo].

This includes: * Old searchbar position. * Old logo. * Actions dropdown menu fully expanded. * A bit less free space on top (smaller header). The script is quite simple - [[:pl:MediaWiki:Vector4monobookies.js|JS]], [[:pl:MediaWiki:Vector4monobookies.css|CSS]]. If anyone would like to test this - it's the first Gadget on the list.

A summary of the reactions users gave, split in experienced (exp.) and (relative) new users: * A part of the users do like the new look much, another part doesn't like the new look at all. * Too much white (exp.) * The searchbox is relocated and is still to small. (exp.) * Not being able to click on another language, noted that this can be set in the preferences (exp. + new), but users who work on many projects it is a hell of a job to set each project right. (Global preferences with SUL wanted!) * The line-height is too much (exp.) (set in their own vector.css) * The colours of the links between internal and external links is too less (exp.) (set in their own vector.css) * The different namespaces had in monobook a different background, not nice to do in vector (with the tabs) (exp.) * The tabs for sysops are in the expand section of the tab-bar, new users aren't sysop so they do not see those, so no reason to hide. (sysop) (set in their own vector.css next to each other) * Experienced users think that there is (too?) much attention for new users, while there is little attention to the needs of experienced users. * Text in searchbox is lined a bit too low. * Vector is slow. (new + exp.) The users who switched to vector often like to adjust some parts of the look. A suggestion would be that there would come a page where a lot of examples of adjustments are described so that users easily can adjust their personal vector.js and -.css pages. A lot of experienced users work on a lot of different projects to set interwiki's and so, and want to use the same adjustments in their preferences, but have to set this on each project again and again. A solution to this would be global preferences. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] 12:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC) : Dear Romaine, : thanks for your detailed report.

The '''Phase IV Deployment''' section refers to "Wikipedias" and the '''Phase V Deployment''' section refers to "All other Wikimedia projects." Yet the Phase IV pre-release central notice showed up at ''un-encyclopedic'' wikis such as en.Wikiquote and Meta, and then subsequently disappeared. More confusingly, '''en''' is listed in phase IV (en.''Wikipedia'' having been in Phase II!) with the <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki> magic word (as are some other languages as well) suggesting that the table entry is intended to cover multiple sister-projects, but the project list at [[Releases/Default Switch/Phase IV projects]] is singularly uninformative. <p> Enquiring minds want to know: Which projects are included in Phase IV? If that is still not fully determined at this point, I would [[Wikiquote:en:User:Ningauble|personally]] like to know at least whether [[Wikiquote:en:Main Page|en.Wikiquote]] in particular will be in the Phase IV rollout.

This question is relevant only to languages that use non-Latin scripts. In most of the non-latin language wikis, there is a transliteration script (a javacript) that we use for typing text in the respective language/script. For Monobook, many wikis have placed a control box near the search box to switch on/off the transliteration script. See '''Figure 1''') to get an idea where it is placed. When we over switched to Vector, this control box/check box is disappeared. Transliteration is still working. See '''Figure 2''' to see the existing interface.

A partire da mercoledì 9 giugno alle '''!!![TBD]!!!''', le nuove funzionalità saranno disponibili per tutti. Questa è la prima grande iniziativa mai intrapresa dalla Wikimedia Foundation e dai suoi volontari per rendere migliore l’interfaccia di Wikipedia. È passato un anno da quando è iniziato lo studio sull’usabilità, e la nuova interfaccia è già stata attivata in Wikinews (inglese e serbo), Wikimedia Commons, e da poco anche nella versione inglese di Wikipedia. Ciò significa che centinaia di milioni di persone in tutto il mondo potranno ora sperimentare un’interfaccia più facile da usare e, cosa più importante, in grado di rendere più semplice la modifica delle voci di Wikipedia. Nel corso delle prossime settimane, la nuova interfaccia sarà attivata in tutte le versioni linguistiche di Wikipedia. Ecco le novità: * '''Aspetto''': È stato introdotto un nuovo aspetto chiamato “Vector”, che rende le funzioni essenziali più semplici da trovare. * '''Navigazione''': È stata migliorata la navigazione per la lettura e modifica delle pagine. Ora, le linguette nella parte superiore di ogni pagina mostreranno più chiaramente se si sta leggendo o modificando una pagina. È stato introdotto anche un menu a scomparsa nella barra di sinistra, che nasconde gli strumenti che non vengono usati spesso, ma permette ugualmente agli utenti di continuare ad utilizzarli. * '''Miglioramenti nella modifica''': La barra degli strumenti di modifica è stata riorganizzata in modo tale da essere più facile da usare. La formattazione delle pagine è infatti più semplice e più intuitiva. È stata introdotta anche una procedura guidata per rendere più semplice la creazione di tabelle. Potrai anche usare la nuova funzionalità “trova e sostituisci” che semplifica la modifica della pagina. * '''Procedura guidata per i link''': È uno strumento facile da usare, che consente di aggiungere link ad altre pagine di Wikipedia, o a siti esterni. * '''Miglioramenti di ricerca''': I suggerimenti di ricerca sono stati migliorati per permetterti di arrivare più rapidamente alla pagina che stai cercando. * '''Creazione libri con PediaPress''': Questa funzionalità permette di creare un libro cartaceo, selezionando gli articoli di Wikipedia e aggiungendoli con lo strumento di creazione libri. I tuoi articoli saranno trasformati in un file PDF (o OpenDocument), in modo da permetterti di portare facilmente Wikipedia ovunque tu vada. * '''Nuovo logo aggiornato''': Il noto logo di Wikipedia è stato migliorato e perfezionato. È stato ricreato a partire da una migliore resa 3D; inoltre stato introdotto il carattere Linux Libertine, un carattere open source per rendere più semplice la localizzazione interlingua del logo. Nell'aprile del 2009 è iniziato lo studio su come rendere Wikipedia più semplice da utilizzare. Sono così iniziati i test di usabilità tra lettori senza alcuna esperienza di modifica, e l'User Experience Team ha potuto sapere come le persone interagiscano con Wikipedia e come si sarebbe potuto rendere migliore il suo utilizzo. Con l’aiuto di queste preziose informazioni, le nuove funzionalità sono state gradualmente rilasciate agli utenti che hanno scelto di far parte del gruppo di beta tester. Nei mesi successivi vi è stato un continuo miglioramento delle funzionalità, sulla base dei feedback sia dei nostri beta tester sia degli studi sull’usabilità che sono stati appositamente condotti. La partecipazione di migliaia di utenti internazionali e dei volontari che hanno dato un feedback sui progressi è stata fondamentale. Durante le prime fasi di beta testing, l’81% dei beta tester della versione spagnola e portoghese di Wikipedia hanno continuato ad utilizzare la nuova interfaccia di modifica. Anche il 70-79% dei beta tester tedeschi, russi, cinesi, francesi e italiani hanno mantenuto la nuova interfaccia. Le percentuali di utilizzo da parte di polacchi e giapponesi sono state relativamente basse in principio (rispettivamente del 65% e 60%). Da allora, è iniziato un feedback continuo da parte degli utenti internazionali, per aumentare la qualità dell’interfaccia e del design. Se preferisci l’interfaccia classica, chiamata Monobook (senza miglioramenti), non ti preoccupare: puoi fare clic sul link “Riportami indietro”, nella parte superiore della pagina. Potrai cambiare interfaccia in qualsiasi momento. Grazie al sostegno di centinaia di migliaia di volontari e il generoso sostegno di organizzazioni come la Stanton Foundation, è iniziato un processo di semplificazione dei progetti Wikimedia per gli utenti di tutto il mondo, in modo tale da permettere loro di contribuire con maggior facilità ed avere accesso ad un’informazione libera, educativa e di alta qualità, obiettivo principale della Wikimedia Foundation. Questo non è l'unico progetto che l'User Experience Team ha in programma di rilasciare per rendere Wikipedia e tutti i progetti Wikimedia più semplici da utilizzare; è solamente il primo. Vi invitiamo ad usare la pagina di [[w:it:Progetto:Coordinamento/Usabilità/FAQ|FAQ]] e di [[w:it:Progetto:Coordinamento/Usabilità|feedback]], in modo tale da fornirci opinioni, critiche e suggerimenti che provvederemo in seguito a comunicare al Team; ogni commento è prezioso e aiuterà a rendere migliori i progetti Wikimedia. Un ringraziamento da parte dell'User Experience Team ai tanti volontari che hanno sostenuto il progetto fin dall'inizio, così come i donatori e sostenitori della Fondazione.

The goal was to reduce clutter in the left navigation. Frequently accessed links were kept exposed while infrequently used links would be collapsed by default, and then exposable upon click. Once a user exposes a set of links, they will remain exposed until the links are collapsed. Since launching this change, there has been feedback from the Wikipedia community regarding the hiding of the Language links. Most of the feedback centers around the following two issues: # Multi-lingualism/culturalism is an important aspect of Wikipedia. When users come view article, the exposed language links let the user know that the article is available in other languages. Hiding the links gives this important aspect of Wikipedia much less visibility. # For users that go back and forth between different language versions of the same article, collapsing the languages presents a usability issue as we require users an additional click to access the different languages. Regarding issue #2, there was a bug by which the cookie expiration date which determines the expand/collapse state of the Language links was set too short. The result is that the Language section may collapse even after a user has expanded it. This issue has been resolved, so users should no longer see this issue. Because of browser-specific bugs, this feature was broken in older versions of Opera (before 9.8) and Konqueror (before 4.0) and has been disabled in those browsers. Regarding issue #1, the Usability Team is working on the following compromise [updated 00:22, 5 June 2010 (UTC)]: * By default, show a list of languages based on the user's most likely languages. These language(s) will probably be based on the browser's language setting. We will also have a link to "see other languages." With this type of control, we show the most likely languages while avoiding the clutter of languages that would probably not interest the user. * Change the wording of the "Language" link to be more descriptive (e.g., "See article in other languages" or "View in other languages"). The word "Languages" is probably not adequately descriptive. Please let us know what you think of this proposal. [[User:Howief|Howief]] 00:23, 5 June 2010 (UTC) :The response must have been unanimous, because [[User:Romaine]] wrote (on a different page of this wiki) on 16 June: "As of the beginning of last week, the default for inter-language links in the sidebar is to show them". No one bothered to say so here, so I've copied the information in now. [[User:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] 13:59, 2 September 2010 (UTC) == Update == Here are mockups of the interwiki links in [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/usability/7/71/Interlanguage_collapsed.png collapsed] and [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/usability/4/48/Interlanguage_expanded.png expanded] state (assuming auto-detection of other languages). :Are these two options mutually exclusive? While the renaming sounds good, I am quite skeptical about the first option (choosing the « most likely languages » on behalf of the user).

Re: the default languages, we may consider short term and long term solutions. Short term, we could base the default languages based on browser language and/or geo-coordinates where available. There are also a number of interesting ideas that have been suggested (e.g., enabling users to select a preference, taking into account the nature of the article) which are slightly more involved, but definitely worth looking into more closely. [[User:Howief|Howief]] 18:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC) :::Until a long-term solution is agreed upon, the appropriate short-term solution is to display the interwiki links by default.

The suggested wordings are problematic for the following reasons: :1. They incorrectly imply that all of the articles on a particular topic are direct translations of the same material. The English Wikipedia has intentionally avoided similar wording specifically to counter this misconception. :2. They overcomplicate the label for someone with little understanding of English (likely arriving at the article via a web search), for whom "languages" is the only relevant word. :3.

[[User:Howief|Howief]] 18:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC) :::I don't believe that ''any'' description can compensate for the clarity lost by hiding the interwiki links; the readers for whom they're most useful are among the least likely to comprehend English in general. :::Mark Williamson wrote an excellent analogy on the Wikimedia Foundation mailing list. In the hypothetical scenario, a reader of English reaches an article at the Georgian Wikipedia. And instead of seeing a link labeled "English," he/she must comprehend that it's hidden under the label "ენები" (Georgian for "languages"). For someone who cannot read Georgian, expanding this to the Georgian translation of "View this topic in another language" or similar would not be the least bit helpful. —[[:en:User:David Levy|David Levy]] 19:27, 4 June 2010 (UTC) I don't think the way forward as suggested at the head of this page is actually a sensible option for several reasons - #I have never understood the attitude that regards the toolbox, languages, list, etc as "clutter". They do not take up any screenspace that is used for anything more useful - indeed now the search box has been marginalised to the top right, there is even less pressure on this area of the screen. Having them expanded by default but collapsible allows those who disagree with me the ability to see all the (imho wasted) blank space the vector designers seem to adore. #I don't understand why the very complicated first option is even being considered - show all languages that are available by default (which seems to be what everyone not involved in the decision to hide them in the first place wants), or show none of the languages that are available by default. Speaking personally, the languages links that I find most useful vary based on many factors, including the topic of the article concerned. For example the Dutch article on a municipality in the Netherlands is more likely to be useful to me than the Russian article, but the exact opposite is true for e.g. Russian politicians. Other important factors are not at all predictable without reading my mind. #I echo everything David Levy says above about the label "Languages". The only thing that could accurately replace it is "(This topic in) other Wikipedia editions", which is far too long and far too complicated. #It isn't just Opera for which the collapsed menus are not available - comments suggest Konqueror, PlayStation 3 and possibly others. [[Special:Contributions/88.107.46.47|88.107.46.47]] 17:48, 4 June 2010 (UTC) :Interesting that this discussion is in English, neatly hidden away from many of the people for whom it matters most: monolingual non English speakers... == Rationale == Slightly rewording stuff on the top of this page: Clutter on a page makes it more difficult to find useful things on the page, especially useful things you might not know about. If a person sees a giant mess of words or symbols, they'll tend to ignore or skim over most of it. We want people to know what the links are on the sidebar and actually '''read''' them, so we need to keep it relatively small. At the same time, the fact that there are multiple language versions of articles is awesome, and it'd be a great thing to make people aware of, but if we make people aware of it by just expanding it out, you get clutter again. As it stands, it's not completely clear '''to an average user''' that expanding the "Language" bar will get them different language versions of the page. One way to give users a "hint" to this functionality is to try and "guess" a language they'd find interesting and expand out on that language and give them a 'more languages' option. Another option is to make the label more clear, and in some concise way say "if you click on this, you'll find multiple language versions of this page" as opposed to "if you click on this, we'll switch your UI to another language" or something. [[User:Nimish Gautam|Nimish Gautam]] 18:56, 4 June 2010 (UTC) :Again, the links do '''not''' lead to "different language versions of the page." This is a common misconception that we've tried very hard to avoid reinforcing. —[[:en:User:David Levy|David Levy]] 19:27, 4 June 2010 (UTC) First, there are not so much interwikis to make it intrusive in most pages (Main Page seems to be an exception, but there full interwikis are usually moved to a different page). Second, the interwiki links have a big disadvantage over other interface items which are easily customizable, since interwikis are used when fall on a foreign wiki, and use them to "go home", so you don't have any cookie set. You also need them expanded in case you are fixing interwikis or translating an article from several languages. Then you will need to expand it on every wiki. Not a big deal, but needing more clicks hurts usability. I also wonder about the change of perception of an article experienced users have depending on how many interwikis [normal, good, featured...] they see. Some ideas I find worth from the [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/45758 foundation-l thread], which you should really follow: It shows the multilingual nature of wiki*edia, it raises awareness of other wikipedias, just by being shown. You can't correctly guess the right languages, which will lead to frustration, and a worse perception since it depends on too many factors, which will not be easily understood. They are useful as a translation (even if not clicked). The data may skewed due to (a) personal usability tests done with English, (b) the way the clicks were measured in the live site (clicks vs sessions, differences between languages...). As a conclusion, we would like having more data about all of this. [[User:Platonides|Platonides]] 22:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC) :Without knowing exactly what data you are wanting, here is the ordered list (most to least frequent) of how often I click the various links in the sidebar on Wikipedia (other wikis differ, e.g. I almost never upload files to Wikipedia, but that is the most frequently used link on Commons): :#Permanent link :#Main page :#Recent changes :#What links here :#Interwiki links :#Related changes :#Random article :#Featured content :#Cite this page :The other links I don't use often at all. However I like them there so I know what is available for when I do want to use them. Almost (but not all) design changes in the name of usability with vector have actually made it less user friendly which seems to have been sacrificed to some people's opinion of what looks prettier (I disagree but realise this is subjective). I've also lost count of the number of places where I've left feedback, almost all of which has been completely ignored, and that which hasn't has been rejected with basically "you're wrong", even when large numbers of people have the same opnion as me. [[Special:Contributions/88.107.46.47|88.107.46.47]] 01:55, 5 June 2010 (UTC) :: Interesting comment. I also feel that some of my feedback has been lost in the noise (say, on the Main Page talk here). It would be nice to develop a description of the user model that is being supported by Vector -- no skin will make everyone's life equally easy -- and to consider variants that make the use that you describe easier. (and I note that you've been devoiced again - by the lack of SUL on this wiki? - please come back and resign!) [[User:Sj|Sj]] 00:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC) ==Foundation-l mailing list post== ''[reproduced below]'' The Usability team discussed this issue at length this afternoon. We listened closely to the feedback and have come up with solution which we hope will work for everyone. It's not a perfect solution, but we think it's a reasonable compromise. First, some background on the problem we're addressing and the design principle that we used. Every situation is unique, but in the case of the interwikilinks, we believe the sheer number of language links, especially within the context of an information-heavy page, makes users "numb" to the list. When people see large collections of things, they tend to group them all together as one object and not identify the individual parts that make the whole. As the number of items in the list decreases the likelihood of a person identifying the individual items increases. This is similar to how viewing a traffic jam appears as a long line of generic vehicles, while seeing just a few cars driving down the road might be comprehended in more granular detail (a motorcycle, a truck and a sports car). While we did not explicitly test for this during our usability studies (e.g., it wasn't included as a major design question), we did exercise judgement in identifying this as a problem, based partly on the applying the above design principle to the site, partly on the data. Regarding the data behind the decision. First, let me apologize for the tardiness. The engineer who implemented the clicktracking of the left nav recently returned from vacation, so you can probably imagine how things might be a little difficult to find after being away for a while. Please see [[Left Nav Click Data]] for more details, but a quick summary is that we measured the click behavior for two groups of English Wikipedia users, Monobook and Vector (Vector users are primarily those who participated in the beta). Of Monobook and Vector users, 0.95% and 0.28% clicked on the language links (out of 126,180 and 180,873 total clicks), respectively. We felt that fewer than 1% of Monobook clicks was a reasonable threshold for hiding the Language links, especially when taken in the context of the above design principle and the implementation (state persists after expanding). We do, however, recognize the concern that was voiced by a number of our community members. When the language links are in a collapsed state however, there is not enough information to explain what the list will be if you were to expand it. In all likelihood, we won't be able to get the verbiage to the point where it's sufficiently descriptive of the inter-language links. A list of languages is probably more effective as it *shows* the user that there are other languages available (rather than *telling* the user via a "Language", "In other languages" etc. link). However, exposing all of the languages can potentially be just as ineffectual as showing none of them. A more effective approach would be to balance the two, by showing just enough links to clearly illustrate the meaning of the list. So our proposal is to show a list of, say, 5 languages with a "more" link. We think that a list of 5 languages should be sufficient to communicate to the user that there are other language versions available. If the language they want is not on the list, they may click "more" to see the full list. There are numerous ways we can populate the list of 5. The simplest way is to populate based on the current order, but we can also do it based on size of the wiki, browser language, geo IP, etc. Our proposal is to go with something simple for now, and then continue to explore options for greater customization. We hope this compromise addresses the most pressing concerns that have been raised. I will update the page on the usability wiki with the above information. Please direct discussion/feedback to that page. Thank you for your input.

Using browser's Accept-Language and Geolocation may be good for some sites, but for Wikipedia it is way, way too simplistic. Wikipedia supports many languages which common browsers don't, for example Sakha (code sah). Furthermore, a lot of people don't bother to configure their browser to support their language. In Israel, for example, many people use English Windows, even though they don't necessarily know English well. Finally, for multilingual countries such as Russia, Indonesia, Israel, China, Belgium, Spain and many others, Geolocation is a potentially offensive joke. --[[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] 08:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC) ::: If you go with an option like this, please consider using article size or the language of the article topic as factors in addition to the notoriously unreliable and incorrect geolocation. There are many of us who have enough grasp of a large number of languages to be able to interpret at least hard facts from articles in many languages (e.g. most Germanic or Latin ones). Interwiki links to the largest and likely most recently updated article on a topic without several clicks would be far more useful than links to stubs in languages that geolocation might suggest I understand./[[User:Coffeeshivers|Coffeeshivers]] 17:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC) :<font color="green">''There are numerous ways we can populate the list of 5.

As pointed out above, the vast majority of pages have only a handful of -- if any -- interwiki links. The pages with a distracting number of such links could be handled with a template which would put all of them in a box that would hide them, which could be added by users. That would be the optimal solution: the pages which users felt had too many interwiki links could be fixed ''by the users'', & the rest would be left alone. (And if this template is applied to too many pages, then the current change would be justified.) This is a bottom-up approach, which has served all of the Wikimedia projects quite well in the past. -- [[Special:Contributions/216.20.149.168|216.20.149.168]] 17:14, 9 June 2010 (UTC) (llywrch on en.wikipedia) == Thoughts on the usage data == : "''Of Monobook and Vector users, 0.95% and 0.28% clicked on the language links (out of 126,180 and 180,873 total clicks), respectively." <s>A 66% reduction in the use of one of the more unique and irreplacable elements of Wikipedia sounds like a powerful reason to return to the previous interface.</s> As David notes above, use on smaller wikis will naturally be more significant.

[[User:Sj|Sj]] 00:01, 6 June 2010 (UTC) :To clarify, no current statistics have been released. The "0.28%" figure refers to use of Vector before the official roll-out (when the interwiki links became collapsed by default, if I'm not mistaken). The disparity is attributable to the fact that most Vector users were participants in an opt-in, English-language beta test. —[[:en:User:David Levy|David Levy]] 01:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC) :: Thanks for the clarification.

[[User:VasilievVV|VasilievVV]] 20:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC) :: If I understand right, part of the reason to collapse the interlanguage links was they weren't used often in monobook. Well, I remember distinctly the time when monobook came out (2004). Before monobook, we had the interlanguage links horizontally at the very top of the page. Then monobook moved them down left, hidden unless you had a big screen or scrolled down. One of the very first things I did was devise some JS/CSS hacks for me to put the interlanguage links back to the top ([[:meta:File:Wp-lupo-vp-screenshot.png]]). That's where they still are for me: the multi-linguality of the WMF projects is for me a key feature, and I never understood why the interlanguage links were moved down-left in monobook. :: Now, I don't want to suggest the interlanguage links be moved back to the top again. That placement is just my personal, perhaps highly unusual, preference. However, when it comes to click counting, I very much would like to suggest that the low counts in monobook are a result of the decision made in the monobook rollout to move them to a place where they are less prominent. Hiding them even more in vector would just be a continuation of that (in my personal view, wrong) decision made back in 2004 with monobook to de-emphasize the multi-lingual nature of WMF projects. :: [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] 09:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC) Out of all left-hand navigation links (excluding search), the interwiki-links are the ones I use most often.

I heared in the dutch village pump that input was welcome here. Earlier this day a relative (reader of the wiki never writes) of mine asked me why the english wiki had another look. So i told him that this look also would soon be on the dutch wiki. Spontaneously he said that he thought hiding the language links wasn't a good idea. (a lot of people here in the netherlands use the dutch wiki as a start to read the larger articles on en-wiki). He also asked me why he had to see all these languages he didn't know and if it isn't possible to just show him en-wiki as a link above all the others. Next to this in my opinion it would be a good idea to show a few links people use the most; 5 most used as default. I don't know if it's possible to find out which links are mainly used by an user, but if that's not possible it would maybe be an idea to set some default settings per language (in dutch this could be English, German, French, Latin, Spanish for example). And/or that people could select in their settings 5 (or more) links they want to see before all the other links (whether all the other links are behind an arrow or doesn't really matter i think).

I put it at [[w:ru:Википедия:Отклики о пользовании/ЧаВо]]. 7490 wikitext text/x-wiki {{FAQLang}} ==Что изменилось?== Мы производим некоторые изменения в пользовательском интерфейсе. Во-первыхмы преставляем новый вариант оформления "Вектор". Он призван делать общеупотребимые функции более легко находимыми. Мы также внесли ряд усовершенствований в интерфейс редактирования, в том числе улучшение панели инструментов редактирования, диалоги для помощи в задачах наподобие вставки ссылок и таблиц, встроенные "шпаргалки" для того, чтобы пользователи легче получали информацию по наиболее часто используемым функциям. Наконец, мы изменили вёрству сайта за счёт повсеместного упрощения навигации и переноса окна поиска на более предугадываемое положение. Мы надеемся, что наши пользователи найдут эти изменения полезными. Для тех, кто хочет продолжить использовать изначальные функции, сверху страницы есть ссылка "Вернуть как было". ==Почему вы делаете все эти изменения?== Википедия и другие проекты, управляемые Фондом Викимедиа, пишутся и редактируются добровольцами. Когда обладающие знаниями люди не могут участвовать в редактировании Википедии потому, что считают слишком трудным и запутанным процесс редактирования статей, это становится серьёзной проблемой, подрывающей потенциальное качество, широту и глубину содержания, которые мы могли бы предложить. Другими словами, даже если вы не вносите содержимое в проект, чем легче мы даём присоединиться к нашим проектам обладающими знаниями людям, тем более полезными наши ресурсы становятся для вас. Программное обеспечение, на котором работает Википедия, считалось достаточно удобным для пользователей, когда оно было едва разработано. По нынешним меркам, оно отстало от лучшего программного обеспечения по удобству для пользователей. Поэтому мы производим ряд серьёзных изменений, начиная с первого апрельского выпуска нового программного обеспечения, чтобы сделать Википедию лучше. ==Как это было решено, что эти изменения будут реализованы?== Начиная с января 2009 года, мы построили небольшую команду для оценки и улучшения пользовательского удобства Википедии и родственных проектов. Первое Исследование юзабилити и опыта состоялось в марте 2009 года. Мы раскрыли всю [[usability:UX Study|документацию и видеоматериалы]] исследования. Основываясь на результатах исследования, мы реализовали ряд усовершенствований, которые были доступны для публичного тестирования начиная с августа 2009 года. За этим последовали дальнейшие итерации и исправления, основанные на обратной связи с пользователями, с кульминацией в виде второго пользовательского исследования, которое состоялось в октябре 2009 ([[usability:Usability, Experience, and Progress Study|документация]]), которое подтвердило некоторые из наших изменений, и привело нас к дальнейшему совершенствованию. Релиз, который мы представили в апреле, представляет собой набор изменений, которые были хорошо протестированы и уже использовались более чем 500&nbsp;000 пользователей на этапе бета-. В среднем 80% пользователей, опробовавших бета-версию, продолжили использовать её, и мы собрали обширную обратную связь от тех пользователей, которые нашли причину для отказа от программы. Эта обратная связь была использована при дальнейших изменениях, многие из которых касались запросов, связанных с языками. Мы раскрыли полную документацию по [[usability:Beta_Feedback_Survey|бета-версии и пользовательским отзывам]]. ==Почему вы не внесли ещё больших изменений в пользовательский интерфейс?== Это только начало. Мы сделали набор дополнительных изменений, которые пока ещё в стадии активной разработки и тестирования. Вы можете увидеть эти изменения на нашем [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/ сайте-прототипе]. После проверки этих изменений с помощью пользовательского исследования, мы реализуем дальнейшие ухищрения направленные на то, чтобы выпустить в этом году второй релиз. We've made user experience a permanent effort at the Wikimedia Foundation. From now on, regular changes and improvements to the interface, not just aimed at first-time editors, but also at readers and experienced editors, are business-as-usual. Specifically, we will assess the best strategy to implement rich-text editing on Wikipedia and its sister projects. ==Эти изменения затронут все языковые версии?== Эти изменения изначально были развёрнуты на Викискладе в начале апреля. Раздел Википедии на английском языке присоединился к ним 13 мая, начиная с 5:00 утра по UTC, и Википедия на всех языках и прочие проекты Фонда Викимедиа будут обновлены в дальнейший период времени. Наше междунарожное сообщество волонтёров, действуя через translatewiki.net, всё ещё тяжело рботает над тем, чтобы убедиться, что у нас есть наилучшая локализация из всех возможных для запуска. Если вы хотите помочь, смотрите пошаговое руководство на [http://translatewiki.net/ translatewiki.net]. == Куда делась вкладка ''следить''? == Вы можете начать/перестать следить за страницей, нажав звезду на той панели инструментов, где расположены кнопки "читать", "редактировать" и "история". ==Как пользователи могу убедиться, что их скрипты, стили, гажеты и внешние инструменты продолжат работать?== При тестировании их с новыми настройками у вас будет возможность проверить совместимость и решить любые вопросы. Пройдите по ссылке “опробовать бета” в верху любой страницы, and then opting into the beta, you will have turned on the same settings which will be made default. Другой способ протестировать совместимость с новым стилем &mdash; добавить “?useskin=vector” в конец адреса страницы. Например, ссылка http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фонд_Викимедиа должна превратиться в http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фонд_Викимедиа?useskin=vector для того, чтобы можно было увидеть, как эта страница смотрится в Векторе. ==Как мне отключить новые функции?== Если вы хотите отключить новые функции, сделайте следующее: # Залогиньтесь под вашим аккаунтом # Нажмите на ссылку "Новые возможности" в верхней правой части страницы (рядом с вашим именем пользователя) # Зайдите в раздел "Вернуть как было" на странице "Новые возможности" и пройите по ссылке для отключения новых функций. Вы всегда сможете вернуться к новым функциям, снова посетив страницу "Новинка!". ==Почему больше не работают скрипты (monobook.js) и стили (monobook.css)?== Если вы хотели бы продолжать использовать свой собственный код в [[m:vector|векторе]], вам надо переместить и/или адаптировать ваш [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js|monobook.js]] на [[Special:Mypage/vector.js|vector.js]], и [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|monobook.css]] на [[Special:Mypage/vector.css|vector.css]] соответственно. ==Советы по настройке вектора== [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vector По ссылке] &mdash; хороший ресурс по настройке вектора. ==Почему в режиме редактирования страницы всё отображается с двойным пробелом?== При редактировании статьи Википедии с использованием новых функций, в статье показываются двойные пробелы. В результате на экране столь много белого пространства, что пользователи могут оказаться не в состоянии завершить свои изменения, как обычно. gbrq4at0habxmecy5y7cwxvhuy6c4dx 2 1240 7504 2010-06-07T09:53:00Z Lupo 1255 Created page with 'See [[:commons:User:Lupo]].' 7504 wikitext text/x-wiki See [[:commons:User:Lupo]]. hvmhr6p9a50emst66ep61rxvb7tey3m 2 1241 7507 2010-06-07T14:42:57Z Smartcom5 2056 Page created. 7507 wikitext text/x-wiki <h4><I>„I don't know if it will be better if it changes.<br> But i know that it must change if it will be better.“</I></h4> [[w:Georg Christoph Lichtenberg|Georg Christoph Lichtenberg]] * 1742 † 1799,<br> <small>German writer and first german professor of experimental physics.</small> pvj9ipib2ceuc6hsnnnxksbtjmogchx 0 1242 7525 7524 2010-06-07T21:33:42Z Amire80 1559 /* See also */ more links 7525 wikitext text/x-wiki This is a page to capture proposals for new approaches to the inter-wiki links. ==See also== * [[:strategy:Proposal:A central wiki for interlanguage links]] * [[:meta:A newer look at the interlanguage link]] * [[:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Interlanguage Links/Ideas from the Hebrew Wikipedia]] * [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/198093?do=post_view_threaded The thread on Foundation-l mailing list that prompted the creating of this page] * [[Opinion Language Links]] 9vyngbava764tuupor5r7u2umgjd1sd 0 1243 7670 7619 2010-06-11T15:39:56Z Nemo bis 9 soft-redirect 7670 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT[[m:Product Development Process Ideas]] mzrp2efvzwpradm1yjyrjjy499dkh5b 2 1244 7523 2010-06-07T21:15:22Z Romaine 1272 In case of... 7523 javascript text/javascript importScriptURI('http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Romaine/insertmonobook.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); ez9ljcq95nu3u5idhyb9yhxftvglabk 1 1245 7526 2010-06-07T21:47:19Z Amire80 1559 The need for this page 7526 wikitext text/x-wiki ==The need for this page== I added a few links to closely related pages which already exist.

Прво, воведуваме ново руво наречено „Вектор“. Ова ново руво треба да ги направи почестите функции полесни за пронаоѓање. Исто така воведовме бројни подобрувања на посредникот за уредување, вклучувајќи подобрен алатник за уредување, волшебници за помош со вметнување на табели и врски и вградена „помошна табела“ за да се помогне на корисниците да дојдат до пристап до најчесто користените можности. Конечно, го променивме распоредот на мрежното место со поедноставување на општата навигација и поместување на кутијата за пребарување на поинтуитивно место (видете го блог-написот [http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/06/usability-why-did-we-move-the-search-box/ "Why did we move the search box?"] за подетални објаснување на оваа промена). Се надеваме дека овие промени ќе им бидат корисни на нашите корисници. За оние коишто сакат да продолжат со оригиналните поставувања, ќе има врска „Врати ме назад“ на врвот на страницата. ==Зошто ги правите овие промени?== Википедија и другите проекти раководени од Фондацијата Викимедија се напишани и уредувани од волонтери. Кога луѓе со знаење не можат да учествуваат во уредувањето на Википедија заради тоа што им е тешко или збунувачки да уредуваат статии, тогаш тоа е сериозен проблем кој го поткопува потенцијалниот квалитет и длабочина на содржината која можеме да Ви ја понудиме. Со други зборови, дури и ако Вие не придонесувате со содржина, колку повеќе им олесниме на луѓето со знаење да се придружат на нашите проекти, толку покорисни ќе станат материјалите за Вас. Кога првпат беше развиен, софтверот кој го раководи Википедија се сметаше за лесен за корисниците. По денешниве стандарди, тој не е толку општ или лесен за корисниците како други софтвери. Затоа правиме серија од важни промени, почнувајќи со првото објавување на новиот софтвер во април за да ја подобриме Википедија. ==Како беше одлучено да се имплементираат овие промени?== Почнувајќи од јануари 2009, направивме мала екипа за проценка и подобрување на употребливоста и корисничкото искуство на Википедија и нејзините братски проекти. Првото истражување за употребливост и искуство се случи во март 2009. Ја споделивме [[UX Study|документацијата и видео-материјалот]] од истражувањето. Според пронаоѓањата од истражувањето, направиме низа на подобрувања кои станаа можни за јавно тестирање во август 2009. Ова беше следено со дополнителни промени и поправки основани на повратни информации од корисниците, кулминирајќи со второ корисничко истражување коешто се случи во октомври 2009 ([[Usability, Experience, and Progress Study|документација]]), кое ги потврди некои од нашите промени и нè наведе кон правење на повеќе подобрувања. Објавувањето на промените коишто ги почнуваме во април ги претставува серијата промени кои се добро тестирани и се искористени од преку 500.000 луѓе преку нашата бета-програма. Во просек, 80% од корисниците коишто ја пробале бета верзијата останале на неа, а собравме и значајни повратни информации од другите кориснци за причините поради кои ја напуштиле бета. Овие повратни информации се искористени за дополнителни промени, од кои многу од нив се проблеми специфични за јазикот. Ја издадовме целата документација од нашите [[Beta_Feedback_Survey|податоци за задржување на бета и корисничките коментари]].) ==Зошто не правите поголеми промени на посредничкиот елемент?== Ова е само почетокот. Ние направивме неколку дополнителни промени кои што сè уште се во фаза на активно тестирање и развиток. Можете да ги видите промените на нашето [http://prototype.wikimedia.org/ прототипно мрежно место]. По одобрувањето на овие промени низ корисничко истражување, ќе се надеваме на второ издание подоцна годинава. Ја направивме употребливоста траен напор на Фондацијата Викимедија. Од сега, вообичаени ќе станат редовни промени и подобрувања на посредничкиот елемент, направени не само за уредувачите-почетници, туку и за читателите и за искусните уредувачи. Поточно, ќе ја процениме најдобрата стратегија за примена на текстуално уредување на Википедија и нејзините братски проекти. ==Дали овие промени ќе бидат достапни на сите јазици?== Оваа промена првобитно беше применета на Ризницата на Викимедија во ран април. Англиската Википедеја следеше на 13 мај, а потоа и десетте најголеми википедии. Нашата меѓународна волонтерска заедница, работејќи преку translatewiki.net, сè уште работи напорно за да бидеме сигурни дека ја имаме најдобрата можна локализациска покриеност за почетокот. Ако сакате да помогнете, видете го овој чекор-по-чекор водич на [http://translatewiki.net/ translatewiki.net]. == Каде отиде јазичето за набљудување? == Можете да набљудувате/престанете со набљудување на страница со кликнување на ѕвездата во алатникот каде што се наоѓаат копчињата „Читај“, „Уреди“ и „Види историја“. ==Како корисниците ќе можат да бидат сигурни дека нивните скрипти, кориснички стилови, додатоци и надворешни алатки ќе работат?== Со тестирање со новите нагодувања, ќе можете да ја проверите компатибилноста и да разрешите било какви проблеми. Со кликнување на врската „Пробај ја Бета“ на врвот од секоја страница и со влез во Бета-верзијата, ќе ги вклучите истите нагодувања кои ќе станат основни. Друг начин да ја тестирате компатибилноста е да додадете „?useskin=vector“ на врвот од URL-то на страницата. На пример, http://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фондација_Викимедија ќе стане http://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фондација_Викимедија?useskin=vector за да видите како ќе изгледа страницата со рувото „вектор“. ==Како да ги исклучам новите можности?== Ако сакате да ги исклучите новите можности, Ве молиме следете ги следниве чекори:: # Најавете се со Вашата сметка # Кликнете на врската „Ново!“ во горниот десен агол на страницата (до Вашето корисничко име) # Одете до пасусот „Врати ме назад“ и кликнете на врската за ди ги исклучите новите можности Секогаш можете пак да ги вклучите новите можности со повторна посета на страницата „Ново!“. ==Зошто скриптите (monobook.js) и стиловите (monobook.css) веќе не функционираат?== Ако сакате да продолжите со Вашиот код во [[m:vector|рувото „Вектор“]], ќе мора да ја преместите и/или промените Вашата [[:mk:Special:Mypage/monobook.js|monobook.js]] страница до [[:mk:Special:Mypage/vector.js|vector.js]] и [[:mk:Special:Mypage/monobook.css|monobook.css]] до [[:mk:Special:Mypage/vector.css|vector.css]], соодветно. ==Совети за промена на вектор== Еве [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vector добар материјал] за промени на рувото „вектор“. 4uowl95ahrvwy0yyejndj0h15w240i5 3 1293 8940 8922 2010-09-25T03:03:04Z Az1568 8 /* Phase IV Deployment /tt */ 8940 wikitext text/x-wiki Hi Az1568 I really don't understand the difference between <nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{published}}</nowiki> in the Phase IV deployment table. We have done almost everything required for the transition, both on usability wiki and on the local wiki. Please let me know --[[User:Shijualex|Shijualex]] 06:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC) :Hey. If you take a look at [[Template:Status]], you'll actually see that published isn't even listed there. We really just use "done" and "ready" for most things. However, I'm used to actually publishing translations... such as the ones on Meta and with CentralNotices since they do need to be published to the CN system. So I've sort of been using done ''and published'' out of habit. They both have the same meaning on the table. Sorry for the confusion. Let me know if you have any other questions. :-) --[[User:Az1568|Az1568]] 07:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC) == Central notice for Wikibooks == Is it necessary to use the informal grammar in the central notice?

The final list of languages for June 30 will be frozen June 28. Regardless of that, we should be running the "help us translate / find bugs" CentralNotice ''in all projects not currently using Vector''. That's because we really need to get people's attention to a) complete localization, b) report issues, including issues that are specific to sister projects (e.g. specific extensions not working).--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 20:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC) == Centralnotice on Italian sisterprojects == Hi, I don't think that those centralnotices are really useful on Italian sisterprojects (especially [[Talk:Releases/Default_Switch#new_central_notices|if they're actually in Phase V]] instead of IV as [[Talk:Releases/Default_Switch#Phase_IV|I suggested]]). You can point all Italian language feedback to [[w:it:Progetto:Coordinamento/Usabilità]]: we're managing sisterprojects, too. --[[User:Nemo bis|Nemo]] 06:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC) :Yeah I realize that.

I'll bring this up in the morning. --[[User:Az1568|Az1568]] 06:37, 22 June 2010 (UTC) : Please see my response above: We want to get people to report any critical issues ''now'', so we can work on them prior to the phase V deployment. That's why we need to run the "Please help" notice on the sister projects as well, as there may be issues that are specific e.g. to Wikinews and Wikisource, due to custom JavaScript, MediaWiki extensions, etc.--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 20:30, 22 June 2010 (UTC) == PO Centralnotice for hsb and dsb == Hi, Az 1568.

While publishing you evidently used the SITENAME variable, therefore the text of this variable became grammatically incorrect because the SITENAME must be in accusative: that's Wikipedij'''u''' for both hsb and dsb, not Wikipedij'''a'''. If you don't want to use the phrase without the SITENAME variable, the GRAMMAR template must be used: '''hsb''': ''Sy změny spytnył? Smy <nowiki>{{GRAMMAR:akuzatiw|SITENAME}}}}</nowiki> polěpšili.''<br /> '''dsb''': ''Sy změny zawupytnuł? Smy <nowiki>{{GRAMMAR:akuzatiw|SITENAME}}}}</nowiki> pólěpšyli.'' Please change it. Thank you. Regards, --[[User:Michawiki|Michawiki]] 20:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC) :I found out when you changed the source code of this message: ''04:02, 23 Jun 2010''. You can't simply change the source code inserting a variable without informing translators. There are a lot of languages that use a grammatical form. The phrase that was initially correctly translated became grammatically incorrect by your change. --[[User:Michawiki|Michawiki]] 20:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC) ::Sorry. It was a last minute change that I was asked to make to all of the languages.

We hope it proves useful for new participants in the simple cases, but we're still improving it and many interface changes are coming, such as a new license chooser and a different way to display help. == General QA == ==== What is the upload wizard? ==== :The upload wizard is a new way of uploading files to Wikimedia Commons, the media library associated with Wikipedia and all other Wikimedia projects. The upload wizard is an [[:mw:Extension:UploadWizard|extension for MediaWiki]], the software that powers Wikimedia's websites. This feature was realized as part of the Multimedia Usability project. ==== What is the Multimedia Usability project? ==== : The Multimedia Usability Project was a special project of the Wikimedia Foundation; it aimed to improve the interfaces and workflows for multimedia uploading on Wikimedia websites. It was realized thanks to a grant from the [http://www.fordfound.org Ford Foundation]. All work documents are hosted on the usability wiki and linked from the [[Multimedia:Hub|Multimedia Usability Project hub]]. : Read more: [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/07/02/ford-foundation-awards-300k-grant-for-wikimedia-commons/ Blog announcement], [[:foundation:Press releases/Wikimedia Ford Foundation Grant July 2009|Press release]], [[:foundation:File:WMF Ford Multimedia Participation Project.pdf|Original grant proposal]]. ==== Why are you changing the way to upload media files? ==== : Principally, because the current process is highly complex; it mixes educational components conveying the principles of free culture and free licensing with process components, does not offer a simplified workflow for the most common use cases, confronts all users with very rare edge cases, and does not go far enough in minimizing user effort (e.g. for uploading multiple files or by extracting metadata). This complexity was known before the project began, and systematic user testing has proven that it is a major deterrent for new contributors. : The complexity of the current process can be attributed to the way it has evolved over time: the MediaWiki software that powers our projects only had very limited file upload capabilities to begin with, and the project communities have applied a high degree of bottom-up customization to improve both the messaging around licensing, as well as the management of metadata. This has, however, also led to rapidly increasing complexity and decreasing maintainability. There have been few stepped back efforts to review and improve the process, and they were very resource constrained. : By building a new upload system designed based on user research, our goal is to improve the uploading experience both for new, occasional and experienced users, leading to a more vibrant, active community engaged with rich media on our projects. ==== Will the upload wizard be available on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects than Wikimedia Commons? ==== : Wikimedia Commons serves all Wikimedia Foundation projects with freely licensed media files, so it has been our primary target for user interface improvements. It is possible to upload copyrighted media files that aren't permitted under Wikimedia Commons policy to [[m:EDP|some projects]]. For example, the English Wikipedia permits uploading screenshots of movies, album covers, brief samples of copyrighted music, etc., under the "fair use" provisions of copyright law. In order for these narrower secondary use cases to be well-supported by the wizard, we will have to further refine the workflow, and this has not been a priority of the current effort. So, these use cases will fall back to the old upload form for now. : Additionally, one of our wishlist items is to integrate the upload wizard directly into the editing workflow on projects like Wikipedia, as opposed to requiring users to visit a separate website. However, the current separation actually makes sense while the projects maintain separate infrastructure for purposes such as user-to-user messaging and change notification. Until we have improved integration of this infrastructure, it would be too risky to simply transparently send uploads to Wikimedia Commons, as users would not see new message notifications or other change notifications, and the normal interaction with uploaders on Wikimedia Commons could break down. ==== Will the upload wizard be available for other non-Wikimedia MediaWiki websites? ==== : Yes. The upload wizard is available as a [[:mw:Extension:UploadWizard|MediaWiki extension]] and released under the GPL. While it's still in beta phase, it is be possible to install it on any MediaWiki installation (1.16 and above) and it can be customized, depending on the policy requirements of the wiki regarding media files and licenses. ==== How can I get involved or share my feedback with you? ==== : If your question wasn't listed on this page, we warmly welcome your feedback, comments and questions at [[:commons:Commons:usability issues and ideas|Commons:Usability issues and ideas]]. We value the feedback provided by the Wikimedia community and we'll do our best to address your concerns. Please check our '''[https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&component=UploadWizard&resolution=WONTFIX&resolution=LATER&resolution=---&product=MediaWiki%20extensions list of open issues]''' first to save your time. == QA for experienced users == ==== Why do you allow the user to upload without first asking for a license / author / description? ==== : Our goal is twofold. First, we're trying to get closer from the user's mental model, by providing an interface they're expecting, rather than a wall of text and fields to fill in. Also, we want to be able to display a thumbnail of the uploaded files, to make it easier to add information such as a description. Similarly, uploading the image first allows us to extract as much information as possible from the file metadata. For example, the current upload form requires the user to add the date of the work in a very specific format. Our upload wizard extracts that piece of information directly from the metadata and suggests it in the form. This wouldn't be possible in all browsers if we didn't upload the file first. ==== What happens if the user never provides the basic required information? ==== : The file is automatically discarded if the minimum required information is not provided. ==== Why did you remove all the choices such as "uploading someone else's work from Flickr" or "free software screenshot"? ==== : Our goal is to provide a simple interface that guides the user and doesn't overwhelm them with questions. Most alternative choices on the current upload form do not actually provide any field specific to those cases. They mostly differ in the verbose documentation we impose on users, and which has been proven to be ineffective. : Some cases will hopefully be handled better in the future, for example by allowing upload from a URL, recognizing the URL and fetching metadata & copyright terms when possible. Some toolserver-hosted tools like DerivativeFX and Flickr2Commons would definitely benefit the users if integrated into MediaWiki or an extension. ==== Why did you remove the "traps" from the current upload form that catch possible mistakes such as fair use? ==== : We believe it is better to provide an interface that educates the user and encourages them to do what's right, rather than setting traps for them to fall into. "Traps" currently in use on Commons aim to identify unfree content; we would like to empower users to make that choice consciously, based on the tutorial. Our last UX study, which should include the licensing tutorial, will hopefully confirm that this approach works. If not, we'll revise it. : A complementary approach we would like to consider would be some kind of technology-supported mentoring system, as well as better tools to patrol the feed of incoming files. ==== Why did you remove all the instructions from the current upload form? How do you expect the user to do what's right now? ==== : Much of the complexity of the original form was in explaining how to work around various defects of the form itself. For example, we've avoided having to tell the user about proper extensions, by eliminating the extension from the interface entirely. Instead the user only has to give their file a title and the program does the rest. : There are some issues which are necessary to explain to new users, such as licensing. However, we do not believe the "wall of text" approach is helpful. Our research showed that most users were intimidated, or simply didn't read it. : Instead, where issues are complex, we prefer to suggest and explain good default choices, so the user will naturally "get it right". Also, the [http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/11/05/illustrated-licensing-tutorial-wikimedia-commons/ licensing tutorial] is an essential part of this strategy. ==== Why do you give CC-by-sa such a prominent/default/recommended place? Why don't you use a step-by-step license chooser? ==== : The Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike (CC-BY-SA) License is the primary license used for all text in Wikimedia Foundation projects. While more licenses are permitted for media files, the set of licenses permitted is constrained by the [[foundation:Resolution:Licensing Policy|Licensing Policy]]. We believe that the CC-BY-SA license represents a good default choice for works authored by the uploader, consistent with the same values and principles which led to it being chosen as the default license for text contributions. : A default choice also has significant user experience benefits. New users cannot be expected to have any mental model of licensing, and our user testing has shown that some users will click through any license chooser in the understanding that such a choice screen represents "the step where you have to agree to the site terms". This means that we are losing an important opportunity to have an elevated engagement with the user about the core principles of free culture and free licensing, by confronting users with too much detail early in the process of uploading a file. Instead of doing so, our strategy is to a) educate users through a licensing tutorial that is clearly separate from the uploading process; b) have sane default choices for the uploading process consistent with Wikimedia's principles and values, but make it easy for experienced users to change those defaults. ==== Where are the other licenses? ==== : The current beta only offers the most common licensing options. We plan to have an interface to dive into the full list of licenses for people who are looking for exotic licenses. Also, you will be able to specify your preferred license(s) in your user preferences, so you don't have to go through the full list each time. ==== Why do you make it so easy to multilicense works? ==== : Releasing your work under several licenses has been a long-standing tradition on Commons; it wouldn't make sense for us to use the interface to remove the ability users have to multilicense their work. Instead, we're suggesting a recommended license, for new and occasional users, and we're leaving experienced users the possibility to multilicense their work if they wish to do so. ==== I don't want to go through the licensing tutorial each time I upload a file! Can I disable that? ==== : Yes, you will be able to do that soon. Our current thinking is that the last page of the licensing tutorial will include a check box to opt-out, and possibly a link to watch the tutorial again on the first step of the wizard. ==== I already have my preferred license, and it's not the default. Can I change that? ==== : Yes, you will be able to do that soon. You will be able to specify your preferred license in your user preferences, and it will supersede the default recommended license. ==== The general messaging is confusing / inappropriate / could be improved ==== : We still have upcoming changes, notably on the license picker. Commons participants who tested the prototype Upload wizard provided a lot of constructive feedback, and we implemented some changes as to reflect their suggestions. We will continue to refine the upload wizard, and the messaging, as the community continues to suggest improvements. ==== Why don't you use HotCat for categories? ==== : The latest version of HotCat is powerful and, as a consequence, was mostly built with experienced users in mind. We have included a basic version of HotCat to avoid confusing new users, but improving the category adder is definitely on the list of things we would like to do next. Another possibility would be to improve HotCat to have both powerful features ''and'' a user-friendly interface. Also, we're trying to make the upload wizard compatible with the HotCat gadget, so that users who have it enabled can use it transparently when uploading. ==== What are you doing about GLAMs? ==== : Galleries, libraries, archives and museums are important stakeholders for Wikimedia Commons. However, the tools they need to share their works are quite specific, and different from what "regular" users need. We would have loved to address the needs of this target audience as well, but it was not possible during the limited time we had. ==== Can you also add feature X or Y? ==== : The scope and resources of the grant were very limited; we had to prioritize the development of features that would have the most impact. We felt the uploading process was what needed improvement the most. However, we do agree many other improvements are needed to truly improve the user experience on Wikimedia Commons. While we don't necessarily have the resources to implement them ourselves, we wholeheartedly welcome volunteer developers who would like to help us, and we'll do our best to support them, for example by sharing our sketches & designs. == Didn't find your question? == : This Questions & Answers page was written based on the feedback provided over the last few months.

Also, the phase 1 designs were a bit intimidating because they presented both the "good" and the "bad" from the beginning. * The OK/NOT OK or COOL/UNCOOL approach feels very rule-based. It was suggested to adopt a more engaging approach such as "please share" vs. "please don't share" or "we can't accept". == Character == * An overwhelming majority preferred the artwork with the character, because it gave it more personality and was easier to relate to. * However, many people also expressed they didn't really like the current character. It was referred to as "basketball head", "volleyball head" and "Pan-Am logo head". * The character's hat seemed to imply it was male, which some people didn't like. Some others proposed that the character be female. Possible options include a puzzle-piece character, a W character or a camera head character. The character should relate in some way to Wikimedia, Wikimedia Commons and/or its mission. == Content and wording == * Column 2, frame 4: "Photographs of art and statues" are "ok" to upload if they were taken by the uploader, and if the original art/statue etc. was in the public domain. For example, it's ok to upload pictures of the [[:File:Venus de Milo Louvre Ma399 n4.jpg|Venus de Milo]], but not pictures of Pablo Picasso's paintings. One way to improve this would be to say "photographs of recently created art, statues, buildings". * "Freely-licensed works" and "media licensed under "non commercial only" license" is too complicated. We can try to avoid this language by explaining the concept instead. * The header should be more inviting. It's better to avoid explicitly labeling the artwork as a "licensing tutorial". Some people suggested something like "Thank you for contributing to Wikimedia Commons", maybe accompanied with a drawing of people gathering images/musical notes/film. We may not have enough space for that, and it may be too complicated. * The double hyphens should be replaced with an em dash or spaced en dash. * In the list of covers, screenshots: add "promotional photos" * Remove the "legally / illegal" vocabulary * At the end of the page, we should add a footer that says "still unsure? Ask on the Help desk" and link to that page (either directly == Graphics == * The "public domain" metaphor isn't obvious. It was suggested to use an old painting such as a simplified Mona Lisa instead.

C. Roth. In ''WikiSym '07: Proceedings of the 2007 international symposium on Wikis'', pages 119-124, New York, NY, USA, 2007. ACM.</ref>. In a media repository like Wikimedia Commons, however, the focus of activity is on contributing new media files, rather than improving the existing ones. Once a file has been uploaded, improvements are mostly limited to metadata and peripheral information (description of the media file, copyright information, general topics, location, etc.); the files themselves are rarely edited. As a consequence, it is particularly interesting to study the dynamics of population & content in this special case. For this purpose, we studied the temporal evolution of the Files-to-active Participants ratio (F:P) and compared it to the Articles-to-active Participants (A:P) ratio on the English Wikipedia ({fig:content-vs-participants-chart}). <blockquote> <blockquote>[[Image:content-vs-participants-chart.pdf|frame|none|alt=image]] </blockquote> {\label{fig:content-vs-participants-chart}Temporal evolution of the ratio of media files on Wikimedia Commons per active participant ($\blacksquare$) and evolution of the ratio of articles on the English-language Wikipedia per active participant ($\blacktriangle$). } </blockquote> While the articles-to-participants ratio has remained stable on Wikipedia after the first few years of existence, the files-to-participants ratio has been steadily increasing since the creation of Wikimedia Commons. F:P has exceeded A:P since then and is now ten times higher than A:P. This result is not surprising when one considers the fundamental difference between a media repository, where files are accumulated, and a collaborative encyclopedia, where content is improved over time. However, it does demonstrate that Wikimedia Commons, despite being successful in terms of content, does not follow the usual model of "viable" or "successful" wikis, and requires new metrics and new models in order to assess its health. [[File:Wikimedia Commons - Evolution of content vs participants.svg|thumb|Isotype-style diagram showing the temporal evolution of the number of media files & participants on Wikimedia Commons.]] == Content inflow management == Because of the fundamental difference between a text-based encyclopedia and a media repository, a more interesting approach is to compare the capacity of the community of participants to "absorb" the inflow of new content contributed to the platform. Thus, we studied the temporal evolution of the ratio of persistent new media files uploaded each month, per very active participants on Wikimedia Commons ({fig:content-inflow-commons-enwp}). We compared it to the ratio of persistent new articles per very active participants on the English-language Wikipedia. "Persistent" means that we only count media files and articles that are not deleted during the patrolling process; the actual number of files uploaded and articles created is higher. We chose to consider only very active participants (more than 100 edits per month) since they are the more likely participants to engage into patrolling activities, such as checking newly uploaded files or newly created pages. <blockquote> <blockquote>[[Image:content-inflow-commons-enwp.pdf|frame|none|alt=image]] </blockquote> {\label{fig:content-inflow-commons-enwp}Temporal evolution of the ratio of persistent new media files on Wikimedia Commons per very active participant ($\blacksquare$) and evolution of the ratio of persistent new articles on the English-language Wikipedia per very active participant ($\blacktriangle$).} </blockquote> We found that the ratio of persistent new media files per very active participants has doubled since the creation of Wikimedia Commons and still continues to increase. This ratio is now more than ten times higher than the one for articles on the English-language Wikipedia. Our conclusion is that the content of Wikimedia Commons is growing much faster than the community of very active participants. Because of this imbalance between the growth of the content and the growth of the community, Wikimedia Commons faces a peculiar challenge. The MediaWiki software provides various maintenance and patrolling tools that allow participants to check newly contributed content; one of these tools is the "watchlist", a personal page listing the recent changes made to pages of interest selected by each participant. Watchlists are appropriate for text-based wikis like Wikipedia where participants want to check new edits to existing pages, rather than new pages. However, maintenance activities on Wikimedia Commons mainly consist of checking new files (especially their copyright status) and classifying them appropriately. For this purpose, the usefulness of the watchlist is limited. Some ad-hoc tools have been developed by experienced participants, but the software itself does not (yet) provide dedicated features to help the limited community of participants absorb the inflow of new media files. == Notes and references == <references /> [[Category:Multimedia usability - Research]] 9kwospvjr53i627yv7kkeq38lbiyaei 2 1441 9060 9059 2010-10-19T23:16:48Z Thorncrag 2544 fix. 9060 wikitext text/x-wiki This page can be found at: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Thorncrag en:User:Thorncrag] 0tu2b5t40ubao0jt9l8nhq2hfh2m6k2 3 1442 9061 2010-10-19T23:16:59Z Thorncrag 2544 creation 9061 wikitext text/x-wiki Leave a message! ozgtu7bxbcdukxqf0kqcqso5ky5mwv8 100 1443 9216 9192 2010-10-28T21:41:16Z Geni 2530 errors 9216 wikitext text/x-wiki <div style="background: #F0F0F0; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; margin: 0 0 1em 0; padding: 0.3em 1em; "> ;Main questions: * Does the tutorial convey all the important messages we want to fit in this limited space? * Which character do you prefer? What would you change about it? * What would you change about the graphics? * What should be the exact wording of each box? * Do you agree with the existing comments below? </div> See also the [[Multimedia:Licensing tutorial/Phase 1 feedback|feedback on phase 1 designs]]. * [http://usability.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=9168 Archive] == General comments == * Remove the checkboxes (in the phase 1 designs, they made sense because the tutorial read as a checklist, but now it's more educational, so they're not really needed any more.) * Make the connections between the boxes more visible to suggest the reading flow more explicitly. * The Russian boxes give a bit of a busy feeling and constrain us more than necessary. Maybe remove some of them to lighten the document a bit, without altering the meaning (at least around the section headers) == Stop / ok icons == * Remove the icons distributed in all the boxes, and only use some of them in select places: ** The "OK" sign in the header of the "own work" and "exceptions" sections, aligned right ** The "STOP" sign in the header of the "not own work" section, aligned right * Keep them in the conclusion. == Character == * Almost everyone liked the puzzle-piece character, and preferred it over the other options. == Content, wording and graphics == === Own work === * "You may share works that you created entirely yourself.": replace by "You may upload works that you created entirely yourself." * "People that are public figures or are photographed at public events.": replace by "Public figures and people photographed in public places". * "Graphs, maps, diagrams and audio you created entirely yourself.": replace by "Original graphs, maps, diagrams and audio". === What you're committing to === * Have one or two of the "copies" look slightly different (to convey the message that the artwork may be altered). Maybe include, for one copy, a few golden coins, to convey the "it can be sold" message. * Add the little icons there too, on each copy (if we keep the icons elsewhere) * "Remember: By uploading your work to Wikimedia Commons, you grant others permission to copy, modify, re-use, or sell it without notifying you.": replace by "Remember: By sharing your work on Wikimedia Commons, you grant anyone permission to use, copy, modify and sell it without notifying you." === Not my own work === * "You may not share works that others created or that you created based on others' material or artwork": replace by "We can't accept works created or inspired by others" * Add a "By default, you can't upload someone else's work" box as the first one, illustrated by the Stop sign. * The two boxes in the middle are fine: they're good examples of common clear-cut cases of materials we can't accept at Commons. Remove the mention of "fair use" (it's US-specific) and replace it by "This includes:" after the "by default you can't" box. * The graphic for the "logo/CD/promotional photos" needs to be more meaningful. Perhaps replace it by the character holding CDs and DVDs? * If there's enough space, add another box of examples, namely: "Most pictures published on the Internet", with the character in front of a computer with the cross on the screen. * Remove the four corner boxes: ** "Any copyrighted material": Any material under a free license is technically still copyrighted, so this is misleading. ** "Photographs of art, statues, and buildings": Photographs of artwork may be allowed in certain countries ("freedom of panorama"), so it's better not to bring it up (we're addressing what is generally accepted with the ''public domain'' box in exceptions) ** "NC licenses": It's better to avoid mentioning "licenses" altogether, and the "by default you can't" should cover this. ** "unspecified usage rights": Sometimes PD works can fall into this category, so it's misleading. The "by default you can't" should cover the non-legit cases. === Exceptions === * "with two exceptions": replace with "with two main exceptions" (there are others) * "You may share someone else’s work if the author granted others permission to copy, to modify, to re-use, or to sell it.": replace with "You can upload someone else’s work if the author granted permission for anyone to use, copy, modify and sell it.". As for the graphic, reuse a graphic similar to that of the "What you're committing to" section, except in that case, the user should relate to character receiving the artwork, instead of sharing it (i.e. in this case, we would only show the hand of the left character sharing the work, we would still have the copies, but we would have a whole character getting one of the copies) * "You may share photographs of art, statues, and buildings if the works are over 150 years old.": replace with "You can upload your photographs of old art, statues, and buildings (usually over 150 years old).". === Conclusion === * "If your stuff is described by the stop sign, sorry, but we can’t accept it.": replace by "We can't accept works from others without their explicit permission". * "If your stuff is described by the OK ribbon, you’re clear to post!": replace by: "You can upload your original works". * "Thanks for your cooperation - we take these policies seriously!": replace by: "Thank you for cooperation; this is important." === Still unsure === * Keep the "confused character" from page 1. ==errors== "people that are public figures or are photographed at public events" thats not a copyright issue. "everyday objects not considered artwork." false. The legal standard is useful article. It's quite possible for an everyday object (whatever that means) to be protected by copyright. The stuff about buildings is not reflective of the actual situation in the real world. (buildings can be protected by copyright but an aweful lot are not).[[User:Geni|Geni]] 21:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC) [[Category:Licensing tutorial]] sc0kuqz6kxyzsgdymvqcahfx4xmac6l 2 1446 9142 2010-10-25T18:20:24Z Jyothis 1652 Created page with '[[m:User:Jyothis]]' 9142 wikitext text/x-wiki [[m:User:Jyothis]] 6erxmkox45p99b3tnto8q4x45y48sdu 2 1448 9196 2010-10-27T06:40:39Z Cekli829 2564 Created page with '[[az:User:Cekli829]]' 9196 wikitext text/x-wiki [[az:User:Cekli829]] tjqadafawhncucmx7mfqxc8h8woyb6f 1 1455 9217 9207 2010-10-29T01:41:13Z Shijualex 2060 Blanked the page 9217 wikitext text/x-wiki phoiac9h4m842xq45sp7s6u21eteeq1 2 1457 9225 9224 2010-10-30T13:02:58Z Omnivision 2574 9225 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Naoko Komura Wikipedia Usability Initiative .pdf]] == Overloooooad== Wikipedia = So much text and link, mostly redundant, repetitive, long, and without Icon. {| |- | I propose...|| [[File:Colonelomnivision.jpg|300px]] |- | Example 1: Whenever I want to join a website: || [[File:Sign in.jpg|300px]] |- | but when I wanted to join Wikipedia: || [[File:Log in page.png|300px]] |- | Example 2: each time I want to edit: || "you are not logged in" so I have to: Copy-all-->login-->login success-->Page-->Paste all |- | But we can have Instant login || [[File:Sign in while editing.jpg|300px]] |- | Example 3: Instead of all those texts translated to hundreds of languages, put some buttons like this: <br/> this means: [[tour]], [[Commons:First_steps|tutorial]], [[Commons:FAQ|FAQ]], [[help desk]], [[Commons:community portal|community]], [[chat]], [http://toolserver.org/%7Edaniel/WikiSense/ActiveUsers.php?order=-timestamp&mode=commons talk to an online admin]. better, and no need for translation. everyone understands it. || [[File:Welcome template.jpg|300px]] |} m4zhtce5zvnuzj3j2d5wch4wceoroxa 3 1458 9239 2010-11-01T20:57:24Z Hoo man 2104 Created page with '{{subst:test}} - ~~~~' 9239 wikitext text/x-wiki Thanks for experimenting with the the Wikipedia Usability Initiative wiki.
