User rights

User points

• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_answered'] — set this to something to give out points for answering existing quiz game questions.
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_correct'] — I have no idea what this does. Related comment from source code: "Add to stats how many quizzes the user has answered correctly"
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_created'] — set this to something to give out points for creating new quiz games.
• $wgUserStatsPointValues['quiz_points'] — I have no idea what this does. Related comment from source code: "Add to point total"

Parameters

Name	Default	Description
$wgQuizLogs	true	whether to log quiz creations or not.
$wgCreateQuizThresholds	[]	for example 'edits' => 5 if you want to require users to have at least 5 edits before they can create new quizzes. Defaults to an empty array (no restrictions).
$wgQuizID		this is the internal ID number of the current quiz and is used by QuizGame internally. It's documented here only for the sake of completeness. Do not set it!
