See Article feedback/Version 5 for more information.

The Article Feedback Tool, Version 5 is a Wikimedia Foundation project designed to engage Wikimedia readers in the assessment of article quality, one of the five priorities defined in the strategic plan. It is currently deployed on a subset of pages on the English Wikipedia. Later versions will have a page to show feedback posted to an article, with moderation tools.

This extension does not work with MediaWiki 1.17!

Installation

You also need to install:

• Extension:ClickTracking (which requires Extension:UserDailyContribs)
• Extension:EmailCapture

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/UserDailyContribs/UserDailyContribs.php" );
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ClickTracking/ClickTracking.php" );
require_once( "$IP/extensions/EmailCapture/EmailCapture.php" );
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ArticleFeedbackv5/ArticleFeedbackv5.php" );

and run maintenance/update.php (Note that installation works, but updates are not currently supported.)

Configuration

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Categories

An array of category titles (using '_'s instead of spaces). Pages in any of these categories will have the rating widget shown. If empty (the default), the extension is effectively disabled. e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Categories = array( 'Foo_bar', 'Baz' );

$wgArticleFeedbackv5DashboardCategory

A category title (using '_'s instead of spaces). Pages in this category will have the feedback dashboard page enabled.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5DashboardCategory = 'Foo_bar';

$wgArticleFeedbackv5BlacklistCategories

Which categories the pages must not belong to have the widget added (with _ in text). e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackBlacklistv5Categories = array( 'Baz' );

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Namespaces

Only enable the widget in these namespaces (regardless of the category of the page). Defaults to $wgContentNamespaces (defaults to array( NS_MAIN ) ). e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Namespaces = array( NS_MAIN, NS_HELP, NS_PROJECT );

$wgArticleFeedbackv5MaxCommentLength

Restrict comment length to an arbitrary number of characters. Defaults to zero for no check. e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5MaxCommentLength = 400;
