Talk:Article feedback/LQT Archive 1

Reset after an edit?
If someone gives a poor rating in one of the categories, and an edit of the article improves it for that category, are the ratings remembered for the version the person saw, or are they shown for the new version despite the fact that the article is now different? -- Jeandré, 2010-09-22t20:04z

What does a blank answer feedback mean?
Hello, I just tried out one article, "Amtrak" (among others). I looked what the four people before me answered, then I added my numbers, and looked then at the changes.

Isn't that strange? First, my 1 should have make the 2,7 go down, but instead it increased to 2,8. Second one: that's what I would have expected, okay. Third: My answer was blank (no star given at all), so I guess that means that it does not count? - Seemingly it does, and pulled down the number. Last item: what I expected, okay.

Could you explain the first and third item, what did I misunderstand :-) ? By the way, it's a great extension, I am looking forward to get this on de.WP. Kind regards --Ziko 19:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

nopopups
You should add  to the wrapper div of the feedback box to disable navigational popups (a gadget used by a large number of wikipedians) on that area. Right now, mousing over links with  brings up popup previews of the article itself, which makes the feedback tool quite annoying to use. (In the longer term, it would be quite nice if MediaWiki got a saner markup with a separate wrapper for the article contents, instead of just dumping it together with the subtitle, categories, output of extensions like FlaggedRevs or this tool, and who knows what else...) --Tgr 21:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Download Extension
I would be interested to download this as extension for other wikis. --Pdcemulator 09:34, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * There's no reason why you cannot. The extension itself is named "ArticleAssessmentPilot".  However, you should know that this is a pilot program, and the extension itself should not be considered "final". If we decide to move forward, it will likely be renamed as well.--Jorm (WMF) 18:52, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * FYI, there are other more "finalized" extensions available for this general purpose as well, such as Extension:ReaderFeedback and Extension:AjaxRatingScript, in case Pdcemulator is not aware. Thorncrag 02:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect link
The link "Give us feedback about this feature." goes to the main page of the article. I imagin it was intended to go someplace else, like perhaps here? DGG 17:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report. The link is supposed to open a dialog with a short survey. It works with JavaScript, so if you have JavaScript disabled, it wouldn't do anything, hence why it displayed the article in your case. The tool doesn't gracefully degrade for users who have JavaScript disabled yet. guillom 22:12, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm being told if you didn't have JavaScript enabled, you wouldn't have seen the article feedback tool at all. Maybe you encountered an error. Could you please specify your browser / OS? Thanks, guillom 22:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

A question about usage in other wikis
Thank you all a lot for this greatest tool ever. I decided to test this extension on my wiki (MediaWiki-1.16.1) and now I have installed it with required database tables and SimpleSurvey extension. But I cannot understand what should I do to turn on ArticleFeedback form on some (or probably all) articles of my wiki? How to choose which article will use this tool? Thank you in advance for any response. AvalarMS 15:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Looking for the perfect rating extension
I'm looking for the perfect rating extension. There are extensions already for rating articles but I prefer to wait since switching later to a better one is impossible. So I wait til I find the prefect rating extension. Does this extension fully integrate into the system, e.g. to show a user's ratings, the best rated articles of the wiki or in a category? To prevent love / hate ratings I'd find it useful to let all users rate, but only consider those into the average rating by users with more than X edits etc. (without telling the users how it works, just like IMDB). Maybe it's possible to make this extension more flexible to reduce and rename the 4 rating options, to e.g. only use a general rating option. Here are a few more thoughts on a perfect rating extension. --Subfader 21:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Status
Where can I read about the current status (which articles use article feedback, how are they selected,...) of this project? Bamse 23:59, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
