{{Big|1=Need help with something in The Wikipedia Adventure?}}

• You can drop by the Teahouse where friendly hosts will assist you
• You can pop into live IRC chat to talk to someone
• You can leave a question [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WT:TWA/Portal§ion=new&action=edit&preload=Wikipedia:TWA/Feedback/Preload right here]

Tell us what you liked about it, where we could improve, and what you learned

; How you can help

• Play the game all the way through. Do you get stuck anywhere? Is anything unclear?
• Finish the game if you only played a few missions: Give some attention to missions 5-7 (which have been tested much less)
• Start over fresh with a new account: Like User:OcaasiTWA17 (these are legitimate alternate testing accounts and are not considered sockpuppets)
• Try a different browser: If you used Safari, try Firefox (or Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera...)
• Show the game to a friend or family member to see how they like it and if they get stuck anywhere

; In your feedback, please include any of your thoughts on:

• text instructions within the game
• graphic placement
• bugs in the tour mechanics
• your web browser
• your screen resolution
• which step of the tour you were on if something didn't work (see the step= in the url)
• what you liked
• what you didn't like
• what you think would work better
• your thoughts on the design: the theme, the guide, the characters, the colors, the images, the sounds

: Thank you for playing. Glad you enjoyed the adventure! * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:17, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

;What I liked:

A very friendly, easy to use, step-by-step, interface and tutorial. This is especially helpful for those who have zero experience in coding or even coding-related tasks.

;What I didn't like:

Some UI flaws, such as having to restart the whole mission to resume it if you accidentally pressed the “X” on the TWA tab—I had to add the “Verifiablity” badge on myself after doing the mission like 2 in a row with no badge received. Although, this is mainly superficial, and doesn't affect the whole experience too much since badges are not the whole point of this experience.

;What I wanted more of:

The adventure to continue, adding maybe more missions introducing users to tasks of greater difficulty (ex. conflict resolution, uploading to Wikimedia?)

;What was unnecessary:

Distracting punny usernames.

;Any other thoughts you want to share:

Overall, the Wikipedia Adventure is a pleasant experience, that would increase any users' confidence to be bold.

: Thank you for playing. There are no major changes planned to the adventure right now, and most of what you didn't like are known and hard-to-fix bugs. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

;What I liked:

The tutorials in real-time were very useful

;What I didn't like:

Some of the user interface was somewhat hard to use if I accidentally refreshed the page or clicked the wrong thing at the wrong time.

;What I wanted more of:

N/A

;What was unnecessary:

The quiz panels didn't feel quite as useful as the real-time tutorials

;Any other thoughts you want to share:

This really helped me be more confident in how to edit.

: Thank you for playing. Different people learn things in different ways, so I suspect that the "challenge yourself below" parts may help others. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

On pages such as User_talk:GoldRomean/TWA, I don't appear to be able to edit it. Is that supposed to be so? The black background covers everything. I don't think the "edit" and "view history" buttons are accessible, which might be a problem; however, I am able to access the Twinkle and UV menus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldRomean (talk • contribs)

: I have fixed this for future adventurers by editing Wikipedia:TWA/MyTalk/1. There's nothing I can do about the old pages; you can still edit them in other skins, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GoldRomean/TWA?useskin=vector shows proper edit buttons. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:48, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

;What I didn't like:

Sometimes after completing a task there was no prompt to progress, which is just confusing and will probably lead some users just to close the whole thing out. Also, I don't understand why test pages sometimes include unexplained
