This task involves the work of conducting an //initial// round of usability tests of the first edit check we are developing: a check that prompts people to explicitly decide whether the new content they are attempting to add warrants a reference or not (design work is happening in T325711).
=== Decisions to be made
- [ ] What – if any – aspects of the proposed //mobile// reference check user experience (T325711) will we revise prior to investing in implementing these designs in code and subsequently, inviting volunteers to experiment with using in a production or production-like environment?
=== Learning Objectives/Research Questions
1. What ambiguities/points of confusion/holes/etc. do people encounter when attempting to navigate the reference check experience.
-- //Where "attempting to navigate" in this context refers to doing things like://
--- Knowing what they are being asked to decide
--- Knowing what content they are being asked make a decision about
---- Choosing **not** to add a citation to the content they are being asked about
---- Choosing **to** add a citation to the content they are being asked about
----- //Generating// a citation
----- //Inserting// said citation
--- Proceeding to publish the edit they will have just "finished" making
--- Moving "forward" and "backward" within the edit flow
---- //E.g. "Say you notice a typo while deciding whether the content you're adding warrants a reference or not. How would you intuitively think to go back to edit this text?"//
=== Test protocol
!!@nayoub to draft!!
=== Recruitment filters
**Test #1**
- People who:
-- Read Wikipedia with some regularity (e.g. monthly/weekly)
-- Speak English as a //second// language
-- Living in/from a non-Western context (e.g. outside of Norther America, Canada, UK, Australia)
-- Have //some// experienced editing Wikipedia
**Test #2**
- People who:
-- Read Wikipedia with some regularity (e.g. monthly/weekly)
-- Speak English as a //second// language
-- Living in/from a non-Western context (e.g. outside of Norther America, Canada, UK, Australia)
-- Do //NOT// have experience editing Wikipedia
=== Findings
//This section will eventually contain a synthesis of what we learned through conducting these usability tests.//
