## Short description ## Describe the observation in one or few sentences, so one can understand the issue ## without reading the page itself. ## Example: New users failing to create new page, choosing one of the templates instead ## of the "Create New Empty Page" link. It's not clear to the user what the purpose of the Comment: field is when new users are editing a page. = Observation = There was a page that included material on which users were asked to comment. At the bottom of the page was a "Comments" section with instructions to click "Edit" to add comments below. The first two users (who are new to wiki) to try put their comment in textbox next to the "Comment:" label instead of in the editor textarea. == Task == Appending to a page requesting comments. == Users == Users were new to wiki, but 2 out of 2 did the same incorrect thing. == Context == I was over the shoulder of the first and I got a phone call from the second. When I went to see the second he was doing the same thing as the first -- typing in the comment box. = Discussion = I think "Comment" is too ambiguous. It doesn't clearly state what the user is commenting on and it doesn't convey its purpose (to be listed on RecentChanges as a summary of the change made to the page). A more meaningful label might help. I've change PageEditor.py and PageGraphicalEditor to say "Summary of change to page:" I'm not sure this is the best phrase, however. Yes, "Summary of your changes:" seems to be a good label. -- ThomasWaldmann <> ---- CategoryUsabilityObservation
