I'm the lead developer on the GuidedTour extension, a tool the Editor Engagements Experiments team has developed to guide users through MediaWiki processes. Although The Wikipedia Adventure is also a game, it seems as though GuidedTour might be a good fit.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure, date August 1, 2013
I wonder if it's worth summarising the key points of the mfd discussion somewhere easily accessible? It'd be a good way to show good faith towards the valid concerns raised there, and provide a way to indicate when they're addressed and/or(if they already have been) how. I might be able to give some help on that Sjgknight ( talk) 08:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Rather than falling under Category:Wikipedia games, The Wikipedia Adventure looks more along the lines of Wikipedia:New admin school that we created in 2007. The Wikipedia Adventure might fit better in Category:Wikipedia Education Program than Wikipedia games. The Wikipedia Education Program category includes the "Wikipedia training for" series. -- Jreferee ( talk) 14:30, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
I tried the first mission and upon the final dialog ("Say hello to Wikipedia") the Hello World* button didn't disappear after clicking it. Thinking I had misclicked, I pressed again yet still nothing happened; but I then checked my talk page and saw I had two messages (which I hadn't been notified of since it was my account doing the editing). What if editors repeatedly click on the button and subsequently spam their own talkpage? benzband ( talk) 16:26, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

As someone who has edited from an IP before, I have some idea what I'm doing. But I thought I'd try this "adventure" out. The first thing it did was make an unapproved edit to my talk page that appears to have come from me! Not a big deal, but tools should make sure the user knows an edit is being attributed to him or her. The next thing it did was try to get me to create a user page. Sorry, but I'm here to edit things, not immediately try to social network. I gave up at that point, and the overly cute interface didn't help either, since it felt condescending even from my brief interaction. XAilR ( talk) 16:16, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
The logo used for "The Wikipedia Adventure" is bizarre (cf. File:TWA guide.svg). Is there some sort of previous discussion that led to its creation? Or some documentation about it? If it's meant to encapsulate Wikipedia, it does a fine job of portraying a monster. Killiondude ( talk) 00:52, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
One to think about. See the history of User:Keerthi 340/TWA/Earth/2 - it looks odd to have four copies of the same text. The error message at the bottom led to a confused edit to Help:Cite errors/Cite error refs without references. -- John of Reading ( talk) 15:06, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
By testing this tool, I used the rewind feature, then I returned to the stage where I was. Therefore, the tool has added twice the same text in one of my subpages: User: Automatik/TWA/Earth. It seems to be a bug; I was in the mission 3. Automatik ( talk) 22:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

When i did the wikipedia adventure some time ago (about 2 months) i happen to find one bug in one of the chapters. Somehow, i don't know the exactly reason, i got stuck in a kind of loop which asked me to input an "edit summary" text, redirecting me to the "Edit Source" page, but whenever i did it and pressed the "save the page" button, it would go back to the previous step asking me to go again to the "Edit Source" page and to re-input the "Edit summary" text, over and over again, as if i wasn't inputing anything.
The only way i was able to complete this was starting everything from that chapter again (unfortunately, don't remember which exactly chapter was it.), resulting in a repeated text on my earth page > Link —Preceding undated comment added 05:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi everybody! I saw this game linked on the talk page of a new editor and found it very cool. Am I allowed to post it to other talk pages? If so, how?

While the "adventure" game may be just the job for many of our younger recruits, I have reservations about extending this invitation to top-grade contributors: those who make substantial, high-quality, serious contributions from the off. These are serious grown-up people, scholars or technical experts, probably with higher degrees. Probably they did loads on Wikipedia before they registered a username. And they are unlikely to be impressed by a cartoony invitation from their "robot friend" to play some game. They are only a small proportion but they're among the ones we most want to hold on to, remember? So I wonder if we could actually miss out those at the *top* end of your "desirability" scale, as well as the bottom end? Failing that, at least could we review the wording and appearance of the invitation, remembering that it's going to a very wide range of viewers? With all respect to your efforts at the Teahouse : Noyster (talk), 09:40, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
As a lover of the old edutainment games of the 90's, i was thinking about how this project could be implemented in such a way as to be really engaging to potential editors. What if it was expanded to become a Wikipedia app that is structured int he same fashion as an edutainment game ala Carmen Sandiego, or a point and click?-- Coin945 ( talk) 11:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi! While I was playing, I chose one of the joke answers. "All information on Wikipedia should be written by someone who swears that the information is true." The reply was this. "Even a priest, a judge, a doctor, an eye-witness, a teacher, or a bread-maker could swear something is true, and if that doesn't happen in a published source which records their experience, in a publication with a record for fact-checking and accuracy, it doesn't matter who says something is true. You can tell the leader of the free world, "It's not that I don't trust you, but please show me your reliable published source." Who is this leader of the free world? I know that Americans often call the President of the United states the "leader of the free world", but this seems rather biased. I wouldn't have minded something like this on a patriotic website or anything of the sort, but I am slightly annoyed at seeing this right after being told about the "NPOV". I'm sure this wasn't intended to be offensive or anything. I really love everything else in this adventure so far though! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique ( talk) 17:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Does TWA check if the same editor got a given badge and gets it again? Or is it a feature that if you complete the same mission again, you get two badges of the same kind?

Hello Adventurers, thought I should maybe draw attention to this proposal at Village Pump : Noyster (talk), 07:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
I found User talk:Art LaPella/TWA/Earth in my userspace. It relates to this project, so I presume it appeared long ago when I clicked some of your Great Adventure links out of mild curiosity. I only discovered the page by accident, so it couldn't have served any useful purpose; it must be some kind of bug. Art LaPella ( talk) 15:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
I was observing a group of students doing this, and they quickly figured out they can get the badges without either 1) doing any edits and 2) even reading the boxes. As such, from the educational / assessment perspective, the adventure is not very helpful, as I cannot assign it to my students and use badges as assessment tool; I still have to check if they made individual edits or not. Plus, this devalues the badges, if one can get them doing nothing. Can acquiring the badges be tied to actually making edits, instead of just clicking through pop up boxes? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
As I am teaching ESL students, I also realized the language of the adventure is too difficult for them. They have enough trouble with regular English without having to deal with the jargon present here. And, to be frank, the Planet Earth "bub" style makes me unlikely to recommend this tool for my professional collegues (other professors, etc.). Too many of them wouldn't take it seriously and would be put off by the childish aspect of it. Now, I am not saying gamification is bad; I am just saying that IMHO the adventure as it stands is over the top for two big audiences out there - ESLs and middle age/senior groups. Hopefully redesigning the adventure wouldn't be too difficult; there's even no need to loose the graphics and such - just make the language of interactions more... normal. On the final note, I also think that making the interactions/language more normal would make this entire adventure more useful; editors are unlikely to ever encounter another editor who tries to roleplay some sf scenario... I am even willing to volunteer to help with rewrite if there would be will to code an alt "more serious" version of the adventure. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Can we trigger TWA popup to appear at first time login after signup for a new user? Does this already happen on English wikipedia?

Invites don't seem to be being sent out to any new users at present. Why has this process stopped? Will the Adventure return? It could be very valuable if presented as one among a number of options for new editors to find their way into Wikipedia : Noyster (talk), 09:28, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
This is lovely: [5] SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 13:49, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Mostly a thing if any autoconfirmed users try to take TWA, or if someone already has a talk page with actual discussion on it.
Not too much a problem if you are a new user, but for this reason I recommend any Wikipedian that is autoconfirmed to consider that before going to TWA.
For the record, it's good and all, but I'm not satisfied. James1011R ( talk, contribs)
I was going trough the index of pages in TWA and the start of mission 5 stuck me as being odd. For some context, in the end of mission 4 the user is given a riddle and the beginning of mission five covers trying to find an answer to it. At the start of mission 5, the user is given instructions to ask in TWA's version of the Teahouse, is given the text (s)he should post and there is even a "post it!" button that links to Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/1 in the fourth step.
It is quite clear to me that the user would expect that he should edit the teahouse page and add the question there. That however, will not work because Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/1 is fully protected. In addition to that, the user is not given an answer to his question, neither on the page nor in the guidedTour. Sure, the tour does cover verifiability next, which is the answer, but the tour jumps right into that without mentioning the answer.
The expected behaviour would be one of the following:
A) That the user is given a chance to edit twa´s version of the teahouse and then one of the characters of TWA would then answer the question. I do realise that is a pain maintainance wise, but it is surely better than what is in place now.
B) Instead of the current impletion, the following should be done:

Hi, I'm notifying you of a discussion where I mentioned you because you have been involved with The Wikipedia Adventure. You can comment here: Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure_(2nd_nomination). Cheers, Jake Ocaasi t | c 15:52, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
In response to Ocaasi's post above about the second MfD, I wanted to note here for the record that TWA is both used in the Wikimedia Foundation's Wikipedia Education Program and recommended by the Global Education team in our outreach to program participants. In fact, it is the first training that we link to at Outreach:Education/Trainings. There is also a separate description page about The Wikipedia Adventure on Outreach wiki here. The number of translations of the game already is a good sign for its future. I'm personally tracking and encouraging additional localisations. I'm posting this here now in the hope of discouraging future attempts to delete this content. We use it. We need it. And we love it. Thank you. Anna Koval (WMF) ( talk) 11:33, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. For the watchers of this page who maintain TWA, a new user expressed some frustration here that TWA's Mission 1 encouraged them to create a user page with whatever content they wanted, and then it was subsequently speedied as spam. I tried to go through a bit of TWA to see what exactly the wording is in relation to creation of a userpage, but I wasn't willing to let it make that many edits on my behalf. If someone more familiar with TWA would like to reply to this user, that might be best. Cheers, Nick— Contact/ Contribs 16:22, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
In the Wikipedia Adventure it says, "Articles must not take sides, but should explain the sides, fairly and without bias. This applies to both what you say and how you say it." ( Earth Article mission 4), but in the following part of the adventure it says, "Science shows that Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago..." ( Earth Article third paragraph) But that is Evolution biased. I'm a Christian, so I believe that the world was made between 4-10 thousand years ago. I just think that is Wikipedia is going to be non-biased this NEEDS to change. Not remove just change to some thing like, Evolution shows that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. But Christianity shows that the Earth is 4-10 Thousand years old. etc. This Needs to change in Wikipedia is going to be a biased-free Website. M1grand ( talk) 23:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)M1grand
Hello, I just started here on Wikipedia and completed the adventure. First off, I would like to say that I appreciate this tutorial very much, more so especially after having to attempt to make sense of two other tutorials that were confusing and boring. But in the adventure I noticed a possible issue. One of the fake users in the game had the username WillKomen. Quickly reading this I thought it said KillWomanand I am sure that others might too. I personally don't care much and don't know if a maker of the tutorial intentionally made the username like that but someone later on might think that the username is intentionally offensive and might be deterred from editing here, especially if they are a woman. Just a tidbit that you might want to investigate, I don't know how hard it would be to change but I suggest it. Also, I don't know if it is just me that finds this potentially offensive so I would appreciate some input from some other users. Also if any other users have tips for me starting out here, I will listen. Tortle ( talk) 01:27, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
A user ( Elenktik) just reported to me that they experienced a bug when using the Wikipedia Adventure. When they clicked on the "Hello World" button, it posted to their talk page but then returned them to the exact same dialogue box, requesting that they again click "Hello World", ad infinitum. I tried it myself and got the exact same error. (I do have JS enabled, in case it's relevant.) Is this a bug in the Adventure, or could it be because both Elenktik and I have already added content to our User pages? Thanks, /wia /tlk 16:02, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Jake. I could not find a standardized userbox for The Wikipedia Adventure so I created one:

In Wikipedia:TWA/4/Rephrase: "Earth has many places that are suitable for humans to live, although some areas of the planet can be dangerous for humans or uninhabitable." I feel the end of the sentence isn't good (reads like "humans or uninhabitable" relates to "dangerous"), so maybe something like "can be dangerous for humans, or even uninhabitable", or even drop the "humans", "can be dangerous or uninhabitable". Then again, all three the sentences are kind of odd, and improving just this one could make the difference between them more than just NPOV related.-- Yeryry ( talk) 11:33, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

I am working through The Wikipedia Adventure with some of my students, and noticed that in Mission 1, there is a part of it - Your turn - that seems to stop working. I got to the pop-up when it asks me to us Edit source (I do not have an option for Create source as it asks) and click it, but then nothing happens. It does not progress or ask me to do anything else next.
Can you please help or give me direction for things to try?

It'd be a good way to show good faith towards the valid concerns raised there, and provide a way to indicate when they're addressed and/or(if they already have been) how. I might be able to give some help on that Sjgknight ( talk) 08:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Rather than falling under Category:Wikipedia games, The Wikipedia Adventure looks more along the lines of Wikipedia:New admin school that we created in 2007. The Wikipedia Adventure might fit better in Category:Wikipedia Education Program than Wikipedia games. The Wikipedia Education Program category includes the "Wikipedia training for" series. -- Jreferee ( talk) 14:30, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
I tried the first mission and upon the final dialog ("Say hello to Wikipedia") the Hello World* button didn't disappear after clicking it. Thinking I had misclicked, I pressed again yet still nothing happened; but I then checked my talk page and saw I had two messages (which I hadn't been notified of since it was my account doing the editing). What if editors repeatedly click on the button and subsequently spam their own talkpage? benzband ( talk) 16:26, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

As someone who has edited from an IP before, I have some idea what I'm doing. But I thought I'd try this "adventure" out. The first thing it did was make an unapproved edit to my talk page that appears to have come from me! Not a big deal, but tools should make sure the user knows an edit is being attributed to him or her. The next thing it did was try to get me to create a user page. Sorry, but I'm here to edit things, not immediately try to social network. I gave up at that point, and the overly cute interface didn't help either, since it felt condescending even from my brief interaction. XAilR ( talk) 16:16, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
The logo used for "The Wikipedia Adventure" is bizarre (cf. File:TWA guide.svg). Is there some sort of previous discussion that led to its creation? Or some documentation about it? If it's meant to encapsulate Wikipedia, it does a fine job of portraying a monster. Killiondude ( talk) 00:52, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
One to think about. See the history of User:Keerthi 340/TWA/Earth/2 - it looks odd to have four copies of the same text. The error message at the bottom led to a confused edit to Help:Cite errors/Cite error refs without references. -- John of Reading ( talk) 15:06, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
By testing this tool, I used the rewind feature, then I returned to the stage where I was. Therefore, the tool has added twice the same text in one of my subpages: User: Automatik/TWA/Earth. It seems to be a bug; I was in the mission 3. Automatik ( talk) 22:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

When i did the wikipedia adventure some time ago (about 2 months) i happen to find one bug in one of the chapters. Somehow, i don't know the exactly reason, i got stuck in a kind of loop which asked me to input an "edit summary" text, redirecting me to the "Edit Source" page, but whenever i did it and pressed the "save the page" button, it would go back to the previous step asking me to go again to the "Edit Source" page and to re-input the "Edit summary" text, over and over again, as if i wasn't inputing anything.
The only way i was able to complete this was starting everything from that chapter again (unfortunately, don't remember which exactly chapter was it.), resulting in a repeated text on my earth page > Link —Preceding undated comment added 05:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi everybody! I saw this game linked on the talk page of a new editor and found it very cool. Am I allowed to post it to other talk pages? If so, how? (I tried various template formats but nothing worked.) Anyway this game is a great initiative and a fun way to learn editing. Lots of thanks to the team that created it!

While the "adventure" game may be just the job for many of our younger recruits, I have reservations about extending this invitation to top-grade contributors: those who make substantial, high-quality, serious contributions from the off. These are serious grown-up people, scholars or technical experts, probably with higher degrees. Probably they did loads on Wikipedia before they registered a username. And they are unlikely to be impressed by a cartoony invitation from their "robot friend" to play some game. They are only a small proportion but they're among the ones we most want to hold on to, remember? So I wonder if we could actually miss out those at the *top* end of your "desirability" scale, as well as the bottom end? Failing that, at least could we review the wording and appearance of the invitation, remembering that it's going to a very wide range of viewers?

As a lover of the old edutainment games of the 90's, i was thinking about how this project could be implemented in such a way as to be really engaging to potential editors. What if it was expanded to become a Wikipedia app that is structured int he same fashion as an edutainment game ala Carmen Sandiego, or a point and click?-- Coin945 ( talk) 11:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi! While I was playing, I chose one of the joke answers. "All information on Wikipedia should be written by someone who swears that the information is true." The reply was this. "Even a priest, a judge, a doctor, an eye-witness, a teacher, or a bread-maker could swear something is true, and if that doesn't happen in a published source which records their experience, in a publication with a record for fact-checking and accuracy, it doesn't matter who says something is true. You can tell the leader of the free world, "It's not that I don't trust you, but please show me your reliable published source." Who is this leader of the free world? I know that Americans often call the President of the United states the "leader of the free world", but this seems rather biased. I wouldn't have minded something like this on a patriotic website or anything of the sort, but I am slightly annoyed at seeing this right after being told about the "NPOV". I'm sure this wasn't intended to be offensive or anything. I really love everything else in this adventure so far though! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique ( talk) 17:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Does TWA check if the same editor got a given badge and gets it again? Or is it a feature that if you complete the same mission again, you get two badges of the same kind?

Hello Adventurers, thought I should maybe draw attention to this proposal at Village Pump : Noyster (talk), 07:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
I found User talk:Art LaPella/TWA/Earth in my userspace. It relates to this project, so I presume it appeared long ago when I clicked some of your Great Adventure links out of mild curiosity. I only discovered the page by accident, so it couldn't have served any useful purpose; it must be some kind of bug. Art LaPella ( talk) 15:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
I was observing a group of students doing this, and they quickly figured out they can get the badges without either 1) doing any edits and 2) even reading the boxes. As such, from the educational / assessment perspective, the adventure is not very helpful, as I cannot assign it to my students and use badges as assessment tool; I still have to check if they made individual edits or not. Plus, this devalues the badges, if one can get them doing nothing. Can acquiring the badges be tied to actually making edits, instead of just clicking through pop up boxes? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
As I am teaching ESL students, I also realized the language of the adventure is too difficult for them. They have enough trouble with regular English without having to deal with the jargon present here. And, to be frank, the Planet Earth "bub" style makes me unlikely to recommend this tool for my professional collegues (other professors, etc.). Too many of them wouldn't take it seriously and would be put off by the childish aspect of it. Now, I am not saying gamification is bad; I am just saying that IMHO the adventure as it stands is over the top for two big audiences out there - ESLs and middle age/senior groups. Hopefully redesigning the adventure wouldn't be too difficult; there's even no need to loose the graphics and such - just make the language of interactions more... normal. On the final note, I also think that making the interactions/language more normal would make this entire adventure more useful; editors are unlikely to ever encounter another editor who tries to roleplay some sf scenario... I am even willing to volunteer to help with rewrite if there would be will to code an alt "more serious" version of the adventure. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

This is lovely: [5] SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 13:49, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Mostly a thing if any autoconfirmed users try to take TWA, or if someone already has a talk page with actual discussion on it.
Not too much a problem if you are a new user, but for this reason I recommend any Wikipedian that is autoconfirmed to consider that before going to TWA.
For the record, it's good and all, but I'm not satisfied. James1011R ( talk, contribs)
I was going trough the index of pages in TWA and the start of mission 5 stuck me as being odd. For some context, in the end of mission 4 the user is given a riddle and the beginning of mission five covers trying to find an answer to it. At the start of mission 5, the user is given instructions to ask in TWA's version of the Teahouse, is given the text (s)he should post and there is even a "post it!" button that links to Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/1 in the fourth step.
It is quite clear to me that the user would expect that he should edit the teahouse page and add the question there. That however, will not work because Wikipedia:TWA/Teahouse/1 is fully protected. In addition to that, the user is not given an answer to his question, neither on the page nor in the guidedTour. Sure, the tour does cover verifiability next, which is the answer, but the tour jumps right into that without mentioning the answer.
The expected behaviour would be one of the following:
A) That the user is given a chance to edit twa´s version of the teahouse and then one of the characters of TWA would then answer the question. I do realise that is a pain maintainance wise, but it is surely better than what is in place now.
B) Instead of the current impletion, the following should be done:

Hi, I'm notifying you of a discussion where I mentioned you because you have been involved with The Wikipedia Adventure. You can comment here: Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure_(2nd_nomination). Cheers, Jake Ocaasi t | c 15:52, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
In response to Ocaasi's post above about the second MfD, I wanted to note here for the record that TWA is both used in the Wikimedia Foundation's Wikipedia Education Program and recommended by the Global Education team in our outreach to program participants. In fact, it is the first training that we link to at Outreach:Education/Trainings. There is also a separate description page about The Wikipedia Adventure on Outreach wiki here. The number of translations of the game already is a good sign for its future. I'm personally tracking and encouraging additional localisations. I'm posting this here now in the hope of discouraging future attempts to delete this content. We use it. We need it. And we love it. Thank you. Anna Koval (WMF) ( talk) 11:33, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. For the watchers of this page who maintain TWA, a new user expressed some frustration here that TWA's Mission 1 encouraged them to create a user page with whatever content they wanted, and then it was subsequently speedied as spam. I tried to go through a bit of TWA to see what exactly the wording is in relation to creation of a userpage, but I wasn't willing to let it make that many edits on my behalf. If someone more familiar with TWA would like to reply to this user, that might be best. Cheers, Nick— Contact/ Contribs 16:22, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
In the Wikipedia Adventure it says, "Articles must not take sides, but should explain the sides, fairly and without bias. This applies to both what you say and how you say it." ( Earth Article mission 4), but in the following part of the adventure it says, "Science shows that Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago..." ( Earth Article third paragraph) But that is Evolution biased. I'm a Christian, so I believe that the world was made between 4-10 thousand years ago. I just think that is Wikipedia is going to be non-biased this NEEDS to change. Not remove just change to some thing like, Evolution shows that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. But Christianity shows that the Earth is 4-10 Thousand years old. etc. This Needs to change in Wikipedia is going to be a biased-free Website. M1grand ( talk) 23:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)M1grand
Hello, I just started here on Wikipedia and completed the adventure. First off, I would like to say that I appreciate this tutorial very much, more so especially after having to attempt to make sense of two other tutorials that were confusing and boring. But in the adventure I noticed a possible issue. One of the fake users in the game had the username WillKomen. Quickly reading this I thought it said KillWomanand I am sure that others might too. I personally don't care much and don't know if a maker of the tutorial intentionally made the username like that but someone later on might think that the username is intentionally offensive and might be deterred from editing here, especially if they are a woman. Just a tidbit that you might want to investigate, I don't know how hard it would be to change but I suggest it. Also, I don't know if it is just me that finds this potentially offensive so I would appreciate some input from some other users. Also if any other users have tips for me starting out here, I will listen. Tortle ( talk) 01:27, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
A user ( Elenktik) just reported to me that they experienced a bug when using the Wikipedia Adventure. When they clicked on the "Hello World" button, it posted to their talk page but then returned them to the exact same dialogue box, requesting that they again click "Hello World", ad infinitum. I tried it myself and got the exact same error. (I do have JS enabled, in case it's relevant.) Is this a bug in the Adventure, or could it be because both Elenktik and I have already added content to our User pages? Thanks, /wia /tlk 16:02, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Jake. I could not find a standardized userbox for The Wikipedia Adventure so I created one:
Installing the above template (including the four curly braces) on your user page will render this:

I hope I have not duplicated efforts, and that you approve. I named it "45" because the box is the standard 45-pixels high. Maybe you can pass it out at the end of the Adventure. If you do not approve, please delete this cybercom. LOL. Cheers! {{u|

In Wikipedia:TWA/4/Rephrase: "Earth has many places that are suitable for humans to live, although some areas of the planet can be dangerous for humans or uninhabitable." I feel the end of the sentence isn't good (reads like "humans or uninhabitable" relates to "dangerous"), so maybe something like "can be dangerous for humans, or even uninhabitable", or even drop the "humans", "can be dangerous or uninhabitable". Then again, all three the sentences are kind of odd, and improving just this one could make the difference between them more than just NPOV related.-- Yeryry ( talk) 11:33, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

I am working through The Wikipedia Adventure with some of my students, and noticed that in Mission 1, there is a part of it - Your turn - that seems to stop working. I got to the pop-up when it asks me to us Edit source (I do not have an option for Create source as it asks) and click it, but then nothing happens. It does not progress or ask me to do anything else next.
Can you please help or give me direction for things to try?
This is the message where it stalls:
