Because wikitext has a learning curve, and some participants don’t even think to use it, they are less likely to follow best practices for participating in discussions on talk pages. </p><p>Participants who haven't edited before don't know about or understand the need for indenting and signing within wikitext editor unless they see the call to action. The outcome of this is that those unfamiliar with editing will just add a comment without indenting or signing, potentially irritating others. Flow allows those who don’t know about indenting and signing to do so anyway, because in Flow these actions are completed automatically. (This is true for 9/10 participants - only one new/casual contributor knew to both indent and sign and how to do so in wikitext.) </p><p>Notifications is a complex functionality, and though we attempted to test their awareness of how to be notified, where the notifications could be found, where to set preferences for what type of notifications to receive and through what means, etc., we didn’t have time to do that for everyone. As a result, we only know that it is complicated - there are many ways and locations on the site to set notification settings and receive notifications - and we need to do more research to be able to provide clear recommendations and findings in this area. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Talk_Pages_vs._Flow" data-mw-thread-id="h-Talk_Pages_vs._Flow-High_Level_Findings"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Talk_Pages_vs._Flow-High_Level_Findings"></span>Talk Pages vs. Flow<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Talk_Pages_vs._Flow-High_Level_Findings"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Flow/Moderated_Testing,_November,_2014:_talk_pages_and_Flow&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Talk Pages vs. Flow"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Those who have never edited often do not have any idea they can even have a discussion with the other contributors regarding an article. They have no mental models to work with about editing or having a discussion in context about an article. It is all brand new to them, and they are in discovery mode. </p><p>When they are looking around for how to have a conversation with the other contributors to an article, they get confused and distracted by all the calls to action and lack of information hierarchy of a discussion/talk page, and of Wikipedia in general. So, many times, readers with no talk page experience get lost, and don’t understand how to accomplish the task until they have been patient enough to do some trial and error and discover what to do. As this is research, and we are asking them to “start a new topic” on the discussion page, they are patient and try to figure it out. In their normal use of Wikipedia, it is possible that readers may just give up as a result of the amount of work it will take to learn, and as a result, decide not to participate in the conversation (or never find out there is a way to engage others in this way to begin with). </p><p>It would be helpful to new users to alert them that they can discuss the contents of the article with other people interested in and contributing to an article. Also, there need to be clear calls to action so people know where to go to accomplish this. In this case, the design should get out of their way and provide a path to contribute. Currently, discussion/talk pages put all kinds of bumps in the road (distractions, wikitext to learn, confusing contexts) on the way to a conversation with editors. It would be helpful to remove those bumps in the road and make it easier to contribute. Flow mostly accomplishes this in general and for the specific tasks we tested in sessions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Color_Codes_for_Findings" data-mw-thread-id="h-Color_Codes_for_Findings"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Color_Codes_for_Findings"></span>Color Codes for Findings<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Color_Codes_for_Findings"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Flow/Moderated_Testing,_November,_2014:_talk_pages_and_Flow&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Color Codes for Findings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><span style="color: red">Red</span> = Show-stopper; users cannot accomplish the task.
