Extension:PageAssessments

This extension is for the purposes of storing article assessments (from the point of view of WikiProjects) in a new database table. This extension was designed keeping in mind WikiProjects use-case but they may be used for other similar purposes. For an example of how article assessments are done, see the guidelines on English Wikipedia.

Installation
1. Download the extension using git from gerrit.

2. Run Manual:update.php to create necessary database table(s).

3. Add  to LocalSettings.php.

Usage
The parser function for invoking a new assessment is:.


 * - a short name for the project assessing the article, for example, 'Medicine' or 'Hungarian culture‎'. Can be up to 128 characters long.


 * - a quality ranking, for example, 'B' or 'FA'. See the class grades on English Wikipedia for a more comprehensive example. Can be up to 20 characters long.


 * - a ranking of how important the article is to the project, for example, 'Low' or 'High'. Can be up to 20 characters long.

The assessment parser function is expected to be on the talk page of the page under review, however it may be included on the main page itself. A page may have more than one assessment function for different projects.

Note: If an assessment template is already in use on multiple pages, the parser function can be embedded inside the template instead of having to edit each individual article's talk page.

Example usage
The importance/priority of an article might be different depending on the WikiProject:
