Make Test your skills pages consistent #15579

glmvc · 2022-05-01T10:38:36Z

Summary

made "Test your skills!" pages of the Learn/HTML and Learn/CSS modules more consistent:

add tags where they where missing / incomplete
add missing sidebar in the background and borders skill test
adapt introduction sentences
adapt note box (under the introduction sentences) - the "However" part.
adapt headings to fit the articles title and use numbers instead of written out numbers (i thought this is easier to read and also in the discourse forum easier and clearer to handle)
adapt "Assessment or further help" sections to be uniform
adapt the code example (interactive editor) sentences and "boxes"

Motivation

to keep things consistent - i have done this "consistency changes" now a few times in prs and it was always appreciated.

i made a few decisions based on how most test your skills pages (including the ones for Learn/JavaScript...) were structured and written (e.g. the boxes below the interactive editros were written most of the time in the "shorter way", but not for the Learn/CSS part)

Metadata

Lots of comments, but they are all minor edits that you may or may not agree with. Thank you!!!

dipikabh

Thank you @glmvc for your efforts to keep the content consistent! Just like @estelle, I have added multiple comments, all involving minor edits.

For simplicity, consistency, and maintainability, I've suggested renaming all headings in "Test your skills" to "Task 1", "Task 2", and so on. The title of the page tells us what the task is about.

@estelle, @dipikabh,
Thank you for reviewing and helping me out - I am glad that someone helps me and makes the changes even better :)
I left a few comments on the suggestions where I wasn't quite sure.

I made a few more "consistent changes" based on the suggestions and because I went back through all the "test your skills" pages (to be exact in Learn/HTML and Learn/CSS, where the CSS layout modul is still missing, which I will make soon), and I have did the tests too to see if they are working as intended.
I hope these additional adjustments/changes fit for you.

ps: I'm sorry for the numerous commits, since I am quite new to git and github, I found out a bit later that you can add the suggestions to the batch. 🤯

Hi @dipikabh, I also improved the contrast in some interactive examples like it's mentioned in issue #2054
Here I've changed the images to fit the improved contrast values in mdn/css-examples.

I hope the images fit like this. I tried to make them the same as they were. But I did not know exactly how to make these screenshots, because I cannot get (even with compress) the same file size If the new screenshots don't suit, I will of course update them, but then someone would have to tell me how exactly to do it please...

important: note that pr #74 and pr #75 have to be ideally merged at the same time I think?

dipikabh · 2022-05-31T14:28:44Z

Hi @glmvc, not sure what's pending on this PR. Is this waiting on the other PRs you mentioned to land?
Also, I see that some checks are failing.

glmvc · 2022-06-03T17:50:00Z

Hey @dipikabh,

I've resolved the failed checks. (1 image was not compressed)

This pr should ideally be merged at the same time with the following prs from mdn/css-examples:

because here in the pr there are changes for them...

Sorry for the "crossover" with mdn/css-examples - afterwards this would have been something for a seperate pr 🤦‍♂️
Are you able to merge in mdn/css-examples? Or do we need to tell someone who can do it?

I made also a seperate pr (#16032) for the discussed "Assessment or further help" sections (to make them also consistent). But the prs are independent from each other.

Note pr Make mailto anchor work inside iframe which is also pending, but there is no change here in this pr yet (because I'm waiting for suggestions there).
But it should not hold up this pr any longer, unless you say it is requested because it is only a very small change.

dipikabh

Thank you so much @glmvc for your work on this!

glmvc · 2022-06-08T17:59:46Z

@dipikabh you're welcome :) thank you for helping out! 🎉
