F10472278: Article pack main page v2 - inline message.png
Oct 27 2017, 7:13 PM

Description

Finding from usability testing conducted in T167129:
Participants across both usability studies often used the ‘Main page’ as the entry point to access articles, they wanted to see a clearer ‘introductory’ text and high-level contents similar to the main page of the WikiMed pack.

Proposed solution:

Part A. Show a notification/message on the Main page of every article pack advising of its purpose

For the side-loading version of the Offline Library feature, we may insert a standard message into the Main page.

Approach 1: Dialog message

Approach 2: Dismissable 'card' over the Main page content

Approach 3: Non-dismissable message within Main page content (below title and description:
10c Article pack main page v3 - non-dismissable message.png (1×720 px, 131 KB)
NOTE: It was decided to use Approach 3 both for simplicity of implementation and also as being more flexible if in future we create our own article packs with improved Main page formatting (that does not require this message).

==== Part B. Add a separate 'Main page' card in the feed for each article pack in the Offline Library.
This enables users to more easily access the "Main page" of article packs without needing to navigate to a pack's details screen.

Works for me on Nexus 5 (6.01), Wikipedia 2.7.224-alpha-2018-01-17 when viewing the WikiMed article pack's main page:

Testing on v2.7.224-alpha-2018-01-26

I am seeing different results on my two test devices. On the Pixel (android 8.1.0) I am seeing the notification. On the Nexus 4 (android 5.1.1) I am seeing an entirely different page:
