Great stuff. It's always fascinating to see how ordinary users really work. Of course users think the "save" button is what they should push while working on a page, before they're ready to finally commit it... Oh, and enjoyed this understatement: > terms like “transcluded” are new to most users I eventually stopped using the new interface because it didn't really have any benefits for power users (and the lack of a #REDIRECT toolbar button got annoying), and it was incompatible wih Popups. Looks like the newer gui's are making a big difference to novices though.
