Bug ID: 51875
Summary: General non VE feedback goes to the VE feedback page.

Version: unspecified

OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

I've noticed quite a few edits going to the VE feedback page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback page which don't
really seem to be VE feedback. If you follow through the new editor experience
its quite obvious why they are being directed there:
1)New editor finds a page, they want to edit and clicks "Edit"
2) They have a question, they see the big ? in the top bar and click it
3) There are two options: "user guide" and "Leave feadback", the second is
obviously the one for questions so they click that
4) There is some complicate text which is tldr and a nice box to ask your
question. The user types in that and
5)Bingo, a new section on the feedback page
This senario probably explains why we are getting a few simple signature with
no comments. As the ? is much more prominent than the Help in the left sidebar
its grabbing the users attention so diverting users away from our main help
system. This showing up to be a continuing problem with about one such post a
day. A way needs to be found to direct users to the right place.
