Wonderful Extension
Really like it a lot. Had a quick look at the mysql database and came up with two potentially useful/interesting additions that could be made rather easily:
- Number of new Pages created (while in populating your wiki stage could be boosted in the score calculation)
select count(*) from revision where user_id=x and rev_parent_id=0;
- Total number of characters added (pseudo_code)
Sum_all-revisions-of-user-X( (rev_len(current revision) - rev_len(parent revision) )
In addition I'd think it would be neat if the formula for the Contribution Score could include those values and be changed in either LocalSettings.php or via a Special:ContributionScoreFormula page. Scores really get people hooked and changing the formula helps steer users in the direction you want the wiki to take.
