Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5


 * See Article feedback/Version 5 for more information.

The Article Feedback extension (aka Article Feedback Tool, Version 5) shows a form to readers at the bottom of the page, encouraging them to give public feedback on the article they read. This feedback can be viewed and actioned on-wiki and used by editors to improve the articles.

The extension was originally developed as a Wikimedia Foundation project designed to engage Wikimedia readers in the assessment of article quality, one of the five priorities defined in the strategic plan. No longer developed by WMF, ArticleFeedbackv5 remains stable and supported by ShoutWiki for Brickipedia and it has been so since September 2016 (T144677).

Reusers of the extension should be aware of and.

Installation

 * If your wiki has a lot of traffic, Extension:AbuseFilter is recommended, to manage abusive feedback.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Categories
An array of category titles (using '_'s instead of spaces). Pages in any of these categories will have the rating widget shown (regardless of the $wgArticleFeedbackv5LotteryOdds described elsewhere). If empty (the default), the extension is effectively disabled. e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5BlacklistCategories
Which categories the pages must not belong to have the widget added (with _ in text). e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5Namespaces
Only enable the widget in these namespaces (regardless of the category of the page). Defaults to  (defaults to   ). e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5LotteryOdds
Percentage of article AFT should be enabled on. Note that even when a lottery is set for a certain namespace, AFT will not show up unless that namespace is also added to $wgArticleFeedbackv5Namespaces. This can be set either as integer as a site-wide percentage, or as a key-value array for a per-namespace percentage. e.g.:

Technical: all articles with an ID ending on (1000 - (odds * 10)) and above, will get AFT enabled. E.g. when setting odds at 15%, all articles whose ID ends in 850-999 will have AFT enabled.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5TalkPageLink
Defines whether or not there should be a link to the corresponding feedback on the page's talk page. e.g.:

$wgArticleFeedbackv5WatchlistLink
Defines whether or not there should be a link to the watchlisted feedback on the watchlist page. e.g.:

Note: the watchlist feature does not scale well. You may want to disable this feature on large wikis.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5DisplayBuckets
This defines which form should be displayed and at what percentage. Note that support for some forms (2, 3, 5) has been discontinued completely, as they no longer fit the technical architecture the rest was built upon.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5LinkBuckets
This defines which links should be displayed and at what percentage.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5CTABuckets
This defines which CTAs should be displayed and at what percentage.

$wgArticleFeedbackv5MaxCommentLength
Restrict comment length to an arbitrary number of characters. Defaults to zero for no check. e.g.:

Permissions
AFTv5 introduces a new set of permissions to define users' access roles. These are mapped to the following already existing groups by default, so make sure these are configured on your setup (or bind the AFT-permissions to the appropriate groups in your setup):

 * aft-member: user, confirmed, autoconfirmed, rollbacker, reviewer, sysop, oversight
 * aft-editor: confirmed, autoconfirmed, rollbacker, reviewer, sysop, oversight
 * aft-monitor: rollbacker, reviewer, sysop, oversight
 * aft-administrator: sysop, oversight
 * aft-oversighter: oversight
