User rights

This extension adds one new user right, picturegameadmin, which allows administering picture games. By default sysops and staff have this user right.

User points

• $wgUserStatsPointValues['picturegame_created'] — set this to something to give out points for creating new picture games.
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['picturegame_vote'] — set this to something to give out points for voting in existing picture games.

Parameters

• $wgCreatePictureGameThresholds — for example 'edits' => 5 if you want to require users to have at least 5 edits before they can create new picture games. Defaults to an empty array (no restrictions).
• $wgPictureGameID — this is the internal ID number of the current picture game and is used by PictureGame internally. It's documented here only for the sake of completeness. Do not set it!
