Thread:Talk:Article feedback/New pages/reply (3)

If I understood correctly the description of the  configuration variable (whose value for enwiki, according to InitialiseSettings.php is 2.7), and the JavaScript code where its value is used, the list of "random" articles where the extension is enabled is not "fixed".

In fact, every time a new page is created, MediaWiki associates a unique number to it (the page_id, whose value is preserved across edits and renames, but not deletion and recreation). This number is what the ArticleFeedback extension uses to determine if a page should be rateable or not: So, from time to time, 27 new pages are added to the list, and the next 973 are skipped. E.g.: the page "Blue Wave (disambiguation)" mentioned above is rateable because the last part of its  (31813011) is less than 27, as also happens with a redirect page having   equals to 31813024. Nonetheless, a page which has =31813027 is not rateable.
 * If the last three digits of the  of an article is in the range 000, 001, ..., 026 (=trunc(10*wgArticleFeedbackLotteryOdds)), the page is added to the list;
 * If the digits are 027, 028, ..., or 099, then the page is not added.
