Help:Extension:ReportIncident

ReportIncident is a MediaWiki extension that is currently being developed by the Trust and Safety Product  team at the  Wikimedia Foundation. The purpose of this extension is to help users report harassment and other harmful incidents, and route the report to the appropriate entity that needs to process it.

An initial Minimum Testable Product (MTP) is available on Beta Cluster.

How do I test ReportIncident?
Your feedback is needed to determine if this starting approach is effective.

To test:

1. Visit any talk namespace page on Wikipedia in Beta that contains discussions. We have sample talk pages available at [ https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/User_talk:Testing User talk:Testing ] and [ https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:African_wild_dog Talk: African Wild Dog] you can use and log in.

2. Next, click on the overflow button (vertical ellipsis) near the Reply link of any comment to open the overflow menu and click Report (see slide 1). You can also use the Report link in the Tools menu (see slide 2). 3. Proceed to file a report, fill the form and submit. An email will be sent to the Trust and Safety Product team, who will be the only ones to see your report. Please note this is a test and hence do not use it to report real incidents.

4. As you test, ponder these questions: * What do you think about this reporting process? Especially what you like/don’t like about it? *If you are familiar with extensions, how would you feel about having this on your wiki as an extension? *Which issues have we missed at this initial reporting stage? 5. Following your test, please leave your feedback on the talk page. {{notice|1=

Troubleshooting

If you can't find the overflow menu or Report links, please ensure that: * You have logged in * Your Beta account email address is confirmed * Your account has been created for over 3 hours and you have at least 1 edit. * You have enabled DiscussionTools because the MTP is integrated with DiscussionTools If DiscussionTools doesn’t load, a report can be filed from the Tools menu. If you can't file a second report, please note that there is a limit of 1 report per day for non-confirmed users and 5 reports per day for autoconfirmed users. These requirements before testing help to reduce the possibility of malicious users abusing the system.
