Update: new interviews coming up first week of October. Ifeatu to share new questions with Clive
Interviews happened on September 3rd
Questions were the following:
Filtering on Recent Changes & Watchlist pages (10min)
• Are you aware of the Recent Changes or the Watchlist pages?
--> IF YES: Do you actively use them? What do you use them for as an editor? How often do you visit/use them? What kind of changes can you see there? (Wait if Wikidata is mentioned)
--> IF NO: Can you imagine what these pages are for and how they might differ from each other?
• Is there another place or page on Wikipedia that you visit to find out more about changes that impact your content?
• Are you familiar with the filters in the RecentChanges or Watchlist pages?
--> IF YES: What do filters help you accomplish? Why do you use them?
--> Please share your screen with us again and walk us through the way you work with filters on the Recent Changes or Watchlist page. Please think out loud again.
--> IF NO: What do you think filters help you accomplish? Why would you use them?
Please share your screen with us again and try to add some filters on the Recent Changes or Watchlist page. Please think out loud again.
• How often do you use those filters when you’re on pages such as RecentChanges or Watchlist? Do you use any gadgets/use plugins for those e.g. RTRC (Real Time Recent Changes)? ttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Tools/Real-Time_Recent_Changes
• Is there anything you like about the filters /anything you don’t like?
• Do you filter out changes made by bots or that are not interesting for you?
--> IF YES: How do you do it? Which type of changes are not interesting for you? When new filters are added, would you expect to learn about them?
• IF YES: How would you expect this to happen? Look out for Wikidata in the filters, or changes in the Log as indicator of Wikidata usage
• Are those the only places where you can filter a list of changes? Any wishes /best practices from other projects or sites regarding filters? Anything related to filters you’d like to add?
Setup: if time allows for it, 10min of each interview would be dedicated to it
Summary: in progress (not taken care of by Vi)
