Sebagai bagian dari persiapan kami untuk peluncuran VisualEditor, kami mengerahkan sekelompok pengguna dari [1] untuk melalui serangkaian tugas, pertama menggunakan VisualEditor dan kemudian menggunakan markah wiki. Beberapa dari mereka telah mencoba menyunting di masa lalu, namun banyak dari mereka adalah pendatang yang benar-benar baru. skrip untuk pengujian tersedia (dalam bahasa Inggris).
This is not the only data we are relying on; we are also (and more usefully) gathering quantitative data from a test on the English-language Wikipedia, in which 50 percent of new users were given the VisualEditor by default. We will post those results as soon as we have them.
Menggunakan penyunting sumber
"There was tons of foreign jargon amidst the content and it looked nothing like how the real page looked."
"I don't want to have to learn a new language just to edit Wikipedia."
When presented with the source editor, users tended to have the same set of problems. Many of these centred around identifying what they were expected to change; with so much markup, they found it difficult to identify things in the markup view that matched what they'd seen when reading the rendered page. Users were also worried by the clutter of the editing interface, particularly the mass of buttons at the bottom of the "save page" window.
Users struggled to understand the wikimarkup found in a moderately-sized article; when they managed to identify bits, it was almost entirely from comparing their memory of the rendered page to individual words, and looking at the formatting around those words (for example, noting that all of the headers had equals signs, and thus determining that equals signs made headers work). With one exception, every user found the source editor intimidating and would opt not to use it.
Menggunakan VisualEditor
"[VisualEditor] feels more like editing a word document and isn't as intimidating as the [source editor] which feels more like editing code."
Several problems were raised with VisualEditor. Many users found adding links to be confusing, something we have noted and are evaluating, and (as known) VisualEditor was slow to load for some testers.
Several other (now fixed) bugs, such as problems with saving the page, also frustrated users. However, all-but-one of the testers concluded that they preferred using VisualEditor to using the source editor, one of them noting that "[with VisualEditor] I would be more likely to make edits. That interface was a lot easier to understand and I had more confidence that the changes I was making were the changes that I wanted to make. I also like that I had an opportunity to review the changes and note them."
