We’re preparing a bigger survey that will see wider distribution, but to help me calibrate it and know what I want to ask, I want to run some preliminary questions here.

Your answers will help us improve the wiki in the short-term, so thanks for participating! You can simply comment below or send me a DM if you want to remain somewhat anonymous.

Section 1

  • Do you have an account on ProleWiki?
  • If not, why?
  • Were you aware that having an account on ProleWiki allows you to edit pages and participate in the editor community?

Section 2

  • How often do you visit ProleWiki in a week or month?
  • What keeps you coming back to ProleWiki?
  • What impact has ProleWiki had on you? Either positive or negative (please detail)

Section 3

  • Where do you feel ProleWiki is lacking?
  • Please take a page you remember that you didn’t entirely like and provide your criticism of it, not only on the content but on the phrasing as well. Please don’t choose a stub (we know they’re too short 🙏)
  • How would you rate the language and tone used on ProleWiki from 1 to 10? With 1 being casual (as if between friends), and 10 being academic (as if presenting a paper to an auditorium).
  • Do you perceive ProleWiki to be a credible encyclopedia?

Bonus question: how would you like to see ProleWiki evolve?

Be as honest as you can, I won’t take it personally.

Hexbearers can answer too now that we’re federated btw, but this remains a small-scale internal survey until the real big one gets published.

    Section 1

    • Do you have an account on ProleWiki?
      • Nope
    • If not, why?
      • Didn’t plan on editing anything there so no point
    • Were you aware that having an account on ProleWiki allows you to edit pages and participate in the editor community?
      • Yes

    Section 2

    • How often do you visit ProleWiki in a week or month?
      • I think I have visited maybe 2-3 times total
    • What keeps you coming back to ProleWiki?
      • I don’t really, but sometimes people link to it
    • What impact has ProleWiki had on you? Either positive or negative (please detail)
      • It hasn’t really had an impact on me

    Section 3

    • Where do you feel ProleWiki is lacking?
      • Mobile app, I looked at the contribution page so realize it is difficult to do, but I read wikipedia in my down time and would replace it with ProleWiki if it were possible
    • Please take a page you remember that you didn’t entirely like and provide your criticism of it, not only on the content but on the phrasing as well. Please don’t choose a stub (we know they’re too short 🙏)
      • Not applicable, too small of a sample
    • How would you rate the language and tone used on ProleWiki from 1 to 10? With 1 being casual (as if between friends), and 10 being academic (as if presenting a paper to an auditorium).
      • Not applicable, too small of a sample
    • Do you perceive ProleWiki to be a credible encyclopedia?
      • From my limited viewing I didn’t view it as a traditional encyclopedia but more of an in depth theory explainer for some more obscure(by western standards) topics

    Bonus

    • how would you like to see ProleWiki evolve?
      • Mobile app so I can browse more easily when killing time on the go
