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.

    I’m not sure what I should be noticing. Is it the Communists 2 section? If that’s the case, I prefer the current big ones on desktop. The colourised photos look great and are a bit easier to tell at a glance who the author is. But on mobile the smaller ones are way less cluttered. And it’s harder to “hover” over the pictures on a touchscreen too. And if I were to pick one of the formats, I’d pick just the name of the author, and if possible the number of works right underneath it. They are all “Library works of Author” after all.

      Thanks for the feedback, I’m noting all this down! The idea was to use them alongside the bigger cards possibly for topics instead of authors
