We currently have a goal to push our nearby feature to stable next week.
Your feedback on the current page would thus be greatly appreciated: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
In particular please focus on these outstanding concerns remembering this is a first pass and we should focus on the most essential things:
- Copy text - in particular is it clear that certain pages need
photos and how to do that?
*Jared — in list view the call to action is clear, but perhaps too long? will this string length be a problem in german?* *how about "Contribute image for location"*
2) Refreshing the list of nearby results - is the icon choice correct
and how is the user experience?
* Jared — I think its ok, but could be improved, right now it just says "refresh" to me, not update my location, If May or I have some time today perhaps we can get you a new asset, when is you code submission target? * *
* * On first load of the page, the error, needs to have location enabled browser and javascript enabled still shows, it would be great to not show that on first load… *
- Is the preview useful? (the preview is mobile only and activated
when you click on an article) - does the experience break without it? (to get an idea of how it might work without try the desktop version at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby or click "Read this article in full" before reading the preview and click back button to get back to the nearby view
* Jared — The preview is ok but the image upload call to action isn't on it, which is a BIG problem for people who followed the link on the previous screen, few things that i think should change *
- * for pages with images, include the thumbnail from the list view on the preview page * - * For pages without images, include the contribute photo on the preview page *
- Any styling tweaks you'd recommend (especially with respect to the
article preview)?
* Jared — add Read article in full link to both the bottom and top of the preview, reduce the margins (to 0px?) for images on the preview page * *
* * Some feedback to the list page *
- * for imperial units countries use ft rather than m for distance to location * - * say "XX ft away" * - * make sure the row heights are the same, currently they fluctuate * - * for distance to location, can you say which direction they are? 150 ft north? if not "away" is fine, but giving a direction might be nice. *
* One way to increase confidence in the accuracy of the location would be to show the current location of the user on a map, here are two other apps for some inspiration of a mini map on top of a list view… http://cl.ly/P5cF & http://cl.ly/P6DF ** *
Thanks for your feedback - all much appreciated!
