Description

After the first round of testing and internal feedback, we recommend removing the "Don't show again" checkbox from the revise tone suggested edit quiz-styled onboarding.

CleanShot 2025-12-22 at 16.34.45.png (1×750 px, 224 KB)

From internal feedback:

I could see a user clicking "I already know this" and erroneously assuming that that would prevent the quiz from showing up again. Or just assuming that completing the quiz would prevent it from showing up again. If we made it less likely to show up every time, it'd be nice to accompany that with a link somewhere to go back to it/to the learn more links after initially dismissing it, [...]

The checkbox creates confusion about what will happen after dismissal, and doesn't provide a clear path back to the quiz if users want to review it later.

Design proposal

  1. Remove the "Don't show again" checkbox from the onboarding quiz
  2. Add a help panel module that lets users retake the quiz anytime (reusing the existing module pattern from other suggested edits, with updated copy). This work is covered in a subtask: T414245: Add Revise Tone quiz onboarding to Help Panel

We've also explored using motion to show newcomers where they can retake the quiz. When people dismiss or finish the quiz, it collapse "inside" the help panel via a masking effect. We'd be curious to learn more about engineering feasibility.

Acceptance criteria

  • remove the checkbox
  • only show the revise tone quiz the very first time a user initiate a revise tone task (if possible connect this to the user, and not the browser/device)

Event Timeline

KStoller-WMF moved this task from Inbox to Current Quarter Backlog on the Growth-Team board.

Regarding the adding the quiz in the help panel, there's a substantial amount of work because: (1) The existing quiz is not re-usable straight forward because it is implemented with Vue and the help panel is OOUI. (2) The help panel content presented in structured tasks is prepared to work with the concept of a quick tip, which is what is presented on each of the slides. Supporting presenting a quiz there will need some re-work on the help panel content handling, be it ad-hoc or extending what already exists.

@Sgs could the light blue module in the help panel be a "simple" trigger to open the quiz dialog? instead of displaying the quiz directly inside the help panel? basically on click on the "refresh your skills" module, the help panel would close and we would display the quiz dialog.

same on desktop, on click we could close the help panel (back to the help button in the bottom right corner) and display the quiz dialog in the center of the page.

This patch only addresses the checkbox removal, not the help panel integration.

I think the description of this task is missing some relevant information about the acceptance criteria, which is mentioned in a subtle way in the quoted sentence If we made it less likely to show up every time. Maybe an acceptance criteria bullet list can be clarifying, eg:

  • Remove the checkbox
  • Only show the revise tone quiz the first time a user starts, (finishes?) a Revise tone task. cc @AAlhazwani-WMF can you confirm this or elaborate your proposal.

That would simplify things indeed! I believe migrating the Help panel to Vue/Codex makes a lot of sense but sadly that's kind of a hackathon project on its own.

yeah, i'd say

  • remove the checkbox
  • only show the revise tone quiz the very first time a user initiate a revise tone task (if possible connect this to the user, and not the browser/device)
  • don't show the quiz on n+1 revise tone tasks
