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 for the country options to be localised. If not present, the countries will only be in English.
