What I liked

It was easy to follow and the sections were clear, concise and not too long!

The tutorial videos and interactive features were not compatible with my tablet. Maybe work on that in the future?

How to stop an indent (i.e. I only want to indent the first sentence and leave the rest of the text normal)

What I liked

Very detailed training module with good links to videos and tutorials that give a better explanation or allow the user to practice. I like the idea of 5 pillars because it is easy to remember and helps users to better understand what wikipedia is about and what it is not about and how to operate within wikipedia.

What I didn't like

The videos didn't play until I opened them in youtube, the tutorial was a little frustrating if you accidentally closed it.

What was missing

I think a better introduction to the coding structure that is used in writing wikipedia articles would be helpful.

What was unnecessary

N/A

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

It was easy to accidentally close the tutorial and I couldn't figure out how to make it re-launch without going back through the training and then starting the tutorial over. I liked that you could keep trying again until you got it right.

Helpful, since it displays what the end result should look like. There was a case where I made a mistake and was able to go back and fix it.

--Cliff310 (talk) 12:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What I liked

... I liked the step-by-step walk through to practice formatting. I also liked that the steps were clear, concise, and had video demonstrations where a visual adds value.

What I didn't like

... There wasn't anything that I didn't like.

What was missing

... I would have liked to practice using the sandbox to create a new page vs edit an existing page and how to link it to the original so that other contributors can follow what is going on. I found that portion unclear. However, once I get going with it on my own, I'm sure I will be able to figure it out.

What was unnecessary

... I thought it was clear and to the point.

If you tried the interactive editing tutorial, what did you think of it?

... I thought it was useful.

--pharmerJAL (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What I liked

... informative, easy to get through and helped me understand a lot more of how wikipedia is created and worked on

What I didn't like

... Some of the videos are annoying. Also, it gets confusing towards the end with editing and different levels of changing you can create

What was missing

... I would've liked to have seen more in-depth creating and editing tools, as well as an easier way to find this page in the first place- I needed a link from my instructor, and couldn't find it when I created an account on the site originally.

What was unnecessary

...
