Extension:Petition

The Petition extension allows the collection of signatures (consisting of name, email, country and an optional personal message) for a petition. It adds a  tag which inserts a form for signature collection, and a special page (Special:PetitionData) where authorized users can download the signatures as a csv file. The extension is initially intended to be deployed on https://wikimediafoundation.org.

User rights

 * allows a user to download signatures for all petitions. Note that this can include real names and email addresses, so should be granted only to trusted users.

Features

 * Multiple named petitions can be created e.g.  The petition name will be recorded with each signature.
 * If a  parameter was passed in the URL, this will also be recorded with any signature. Useful for analytics (how many people signed after coming from Twitter, CentralNotice, email etc.)

Dependency

 * The CLDR extension is required (to localise country names).
