QuizGame extension allows users to create interactive quizzes and take them.

Special:QuizGameHome is the main page for quizzes. Special:QuizLeaderboard shows the users who have answered correctly in most quizzes. Special:QuizRecalcStats can be used by quiz administrators to recalculate quiz statistics. Special:ViewQuizzes can be used to view all available quizzes.

Dependencies

• SocialProfile extension
• New database tables: quizgame_questions, quizgame_answers, quizgame_choice and quizgame_user_view

User rights

This extension adds one new user right, quizadmin, which allows administering quizzes. By default sysops and staff have this user right.

User points

• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_answered'] — set this to something to give out points for answering existing quiz game questions.
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_correct'] — I have no idea what this does. Related comment from source code: "Add to stats how many quizzes the user has answered correctly"
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_created'] — set this to something to give out points for creating new quiz games.
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_points'] — I have no idea what this does. Related comment from source code: "Add to point total"

Parameters

• $wgQuizLogs — whether to log quiz creations or not. Defaults to true.
• $wgCreateQuizThresholds — for example 'edits' => 5 if you want to require users to have at least 5 edits before they can create new quizzes. Defaults to an empty array (no restrictions).
• $wgQuizID — this is the internal ID number of the current quiz and is used by QuizGame internally. It's documented here only for the sake of completeness. Do not set it!
