Based on UX-Tests the design of the tool needs a complete remake (colors, structure, usability). Following issues should be addressed:
New Mock-up for the overall design
perceived as old-fashioned and not very appealing → change colors, font and design
Connection to Wikipedia is missing → include Logo
Hierarchy is unclear, navigation for users is difficult → clear user guidance
Please use the Wikipedia logo (see WMDE Styleguide for detailed information). There are several possibilities: Classic, with “Wikipedia” Claim, with Claim “Wikipedia. Die freie Enzyklopädie”, Drawing
Focus: The yellow colored type description of tasks
UX-Tests have shown that the task descriptions are:
Overlooked
expected to be buttons
Not understood as task description
Not connected to help section
Help text corrections
Text needs a review: heading, help hints, description of tasks. Current text is not understood by users or raises wrong expectations. Depends on No. 3. Content and links can be provided by WMDE.
Please also consider the article preview in the tool:
The transfer to Wikipedia is difficult: users don't remember the task and are lost without help. A window in window solution with clear instructions could solve this problem.
Comments/Solutions:
Show the article in the same window as a preview and also show instructions on how to solve the task
API preview is possible in an iFrame
Ideally the preview would show the maintenance tag, which could be used as an anchor
Hover text should be shown in preview
Verify if editing in the preview in the same window would be possible
