Male | Undergraduate | Blocks | often | never | edit mode bar larger; per sentence editing is great; full editor isn't that bad when you use it often |
Fixing a typo
He clicks the edit tab at the top. He briefly reads the introduction. He then clicks the sentence, fixes the typo, and hits preview. He clicks preview without entering an edit summary.
Adding a sentence
He clicks the tab at the top again, and scrolls to the sentence. He clicks the sentence at the end of the first paragraph, and adds a sentence.
I ask him what he thought about the experience so far, and he tells me that all the information at the top of the page is a bit unnecessary. We also talk a bit about the edit summary box. Overall though, he finds it to be pretty easy so far.
Adding an external link
When on the edit page, he notices the different edit modes, and selects the section edit mode. He clicks the external link section and incorrectly copies the syntax of the existing links. He recognises his mistake and clicks the section again, quickly understanding the correct syntax and previewing again. Now this works, and he saves the page.
Adding a reference
He clicks the section edit link at the references section, and is taken to the edit page of the entire page. He selects the section edit mode again and clicks the reference section. When previewing he notices a bug, and we refresh the page. He doesn't understand how the references work, and mistake the category links for references.
He sighs that he has no clue whatsoever how to accomplish this. He edits a sentence and just enters [6]. I tell him he can search Google, and he does this. He finds a page which doesn't clearly tell how this works. He thinks it might work like in LaTeX (which indeed is similar to how it's done here). He tries editing the references section again but finds that this still doesn't work.
He now tries to use the full editor. He scrolls through the article source code and heads to the references section again, with no avail. I ask him whether he would stop now, and he tells me he wouldn't stop. He still doesn't understand how the category links work. He heads back to the first editor and I suggest him to check out how the reference links in the text look like. He opens the full editor again and quickly understands the syntax. He copies another reference. We encounter a weird browser bug where the cursor disappears, but he manages to enter the reference anyway. He finds the save button which is inconsistent with the previous publish button.
Changing population count
He uses the sentence edit mode to change the value in the text, which he then publishes. He doesn't seem to understand how to edit the infobox, and defers to the full editor, where he quickly finds the template syntax and changes the value.
