The Contribution Scores extension polls the wiki database to locate contributors with the highest contribution volume – it is also in stable use on a high-volume wiki such as translatewiki.net. The extension is intended to add a fun metric for contributors to see how much they are helping out.

The score is defined as (number of unique pages edited) + 2 * square root ((number of edits) - (number of unique pages edited)).

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called ContributionScores in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/ContributionScores/ContributionScores.php";
  $wgContribScoreIgnoreBots = true;          // Exclude Bots from the reporting - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreIgnoreBlockedUsers = true;  // Exclude Blocked Users from the reporting - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoresUseRealName = true;        // Use real user names when available - Can be omitted. Only for MediaWiki 1.19 and later.
  $wgContribScoreDisableCache = false;       // Set to true to disable cache for parser function and inclusion of table.
  
  //Each array defines a report - 7,50 is "past 7 days" and "LIMIT 50" - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreReports = array(
      array(7,50),
      array(30,50),
      array(0,50));
  

• Y Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
