The WMF Editor Engagement team has been updating the Article Feedback tool, improving both the back end architecture and the user experience in preparation for further deployments of AFTv5 to French and German Wikipedias.

For the week of 11 February 2013, the Editor Engagement team welcomes any reports of issues or problems with AFTv5. We have arranged a dedicated test environment for the latest version of AFTv5 and we can fully support any testers from the community who care to contribute their time and expertise to examining the new features.

The latest AFTv5 is fully implemented on the host at http://ee-prototype.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page, in particular the page at http://ee-prototype.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Golden-crowne...
