When product managers are setting up a microsurvey question, they need to be able to choose an appropriate response format. These three options (with possible examples of how to implement that type) are probably desirable: # Binary choice: ** Yes/no radio buttons ** Thumbs up/thumbs down # [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likert_scale |Likert scale]] ranges ** "On a scale of 1 to 10..." or ** Strongly agree/agree/neutral/disagree/strongly disagree ** Smiley face scale # Pick answer from list ** e.g., Please set my user interface language to (long drop-down menu) ** e.g., Please set my prefs to say He edits/She edits/They edit Response options should **not** include free-form response fields. If free-form responses are wanted, then the participant should be given a link to an appropriate wiki page. For example: * Question, shown to editors with 1 to 50 edits at xxwiki: "Do you feel like you need more help with editing?" * Response options: Yes/No (plus the ever-present cancel/skip survey button) * Result: If yes, provide a link to the Teahouse or Help Desk pages (or to help pages). If no, wish them happy editing and get out of their way. * Product manager sees: 35% of newer editors at xxwiki said that they felt like they needed more help with editing.
