Background information
One of the 5 wikis we would like the Safety Survey to be displayed on is Wikimedia Commons.
Questions
- Can QuickSurveys be displayed on Wikimedia Commons pages?
Yes
- On which pages? File pages?
Proposed user experience: According to Luca on Structured Data, we would most likely reach editors if we placed the survey on File pages. The ideal placement would be alongside the actions that are next to image (on desktop). This is doable with a config variable. We would also need to adjust the display so that the survey questions can be fully seen (the area for the survey is somewhat narrow).
Other options and technical considerations:
- File pages: Editors come to these pages after upload and upon browsing. This would require changing the placement of the image. It currently falls after the image. We would probably want it near the available actions. There are screenshots below.
- Main homepage: Editors likely land here unless they've bookmarked specific pages. There is a screenshot of my local instance below, but it's not the same as the commons mainpage, which has a number of widgets. There is likely more community work to place surveys here.
- Media search: Editors do most likely visit this page in their workflow. This is what the structured data team initially explored. There are some proposed screenshots in the linked ticket below that would require quite a bit of styling changes. This requires larger code changes than the options above. I could see editors navigating off the page before completing the survey.
- Upload page: Editors definitely come to these pages (unless they're more admin heavy), but it seems disruptive to survey editors on a page where they're taking an action, and they might complete the upload before realizing that they need to respond to the survey.
Any of these options require code changes. I've commented below on where the code lives. We'd need to add a config variable specifically for this so we could specify only to display on these pages on Commons.
The other option is to create a static main namespace page for the survey and find a way to point users there. I'm not sure if this is easier or better, but it's how the structured data team solved this problem when they wanted to conduct a survey.
