Extension:QuickSurveys

The QuickSurveys extension allows for showing in-article banners, in order to ask users so that we can gather opinions and feedback on different matters.

Documentation

 * Rationale
 * Deploying surveys
 * Documentation on metawiki

Prerequisites
QuickSurveys depends on EventLogging and won't work without it.

Configuration
Here is a configuration for two kinds of surveys: internal and external. The external surveys are required to point to an `https://` URL.

Defining an audience
Soon, it will be possible to define audiences for a survey.

The audience field is optional and can be omitted if you want the survey to show to everyone (as defined in coverage).

Note, the audience is not included in sampling, so for example if coverage is 0.5, 50% of all users will be bucketed for the survey, but only the users in that 50% that match the audience will actually see the survey.

All audience keys are additive.

We will accept several keys:


 * minEdits: the minimum number of edits a user should have
 * maxEdits: the maximum number of edits a user should have

Adding message keys
Messages can be defined as part of an extension e.g. WikimediaMessages or by wiki page. For example the message "ext-quicksurveys-example-internal-survey-answer-positive" can be defined by editing the wiki page MediaWiki:ext-quicksurveys-example-internal-survey-answer-positive

For editing messages ensure you have the right permissions. You will need edit-interface right.

How to load a specific survey
You can bypass the sampling and load a survey using one of the methods below. Please note that the survey you want to load needs to be enabled and passed to the front end.
 * To load a random survey append  to the URL;
 * To load an internal survey whose name is 'internal example survey' append  to the URL;
 * To load an external survey whose name is 'external example survey' append  to the URL.
