Namespace versus category call out

4

Right now have the form working on a new install of 1.19 & just have some general questions:

  1. Is there away to just have the form appear in all the pages of a Namespace without calling out a category? Meaning appear in all the pages of that namespace regardless of category?(on a new wiki it seems more logical to start it with on every page)
  2. I assume all references to wikipedia can be changed? That customization of the form is possible.
  3. Is there away to call out the form option one wants?
  4. Is the timeline for the release of the results page still effective?

I'm sure I would find the answers to some of these questions by going through the code, but sometimes it's quicker to ask. Thanks for your hard work. I, for one, thank you for it.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Right now the extension is still in development, so consider my answers provisional.

  1. If you'd like AFT5 to appear on all (article) pages, you can set $wgArticleFeedbackLotteryOdds = 0; in your LocalSettings.php. In this period where AFT5 is slowly being brought up on Wikipedia, it's using the inverse of AFT4's lottery to determine on which pages it should appear. This will probably change when AFT4 is retired.
  2. References to Wikipedia are in the i18n (messages) file. There's a lingering bug preventing us from using {SITENAME} in those messages, unfortunately -- hopefully that will be fixed in core and we'll be able to change them.
  3. If you'd like to pick a particular form option for everyone, you can set $wgArticleFeedbackv5DisplayBuckets['buckets'] = array( 'six' => 100 ); in your LocalSettings.php. Option six (the progressive reveal version of option one) is currently the default; you can also choose options one or four (just a call to edit). If you'd just like to see a particular option, you can add ?aftv5_form=6 (or 1, or 4) to the url.
  4. The results page is now available -- the url will be something like http://yourwiki.com/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/PageName

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Reha for getting back to me. Some more questions or problems:

  • Unfortunately setting the bucket via the localsettings.php seemly does nothing when I change it.
  • I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but how is access granted to the admin version of the feedback page?

Thanks once again for your hard work.

Reha's answer didn't work for me (using the mediawiki 1.19 snapshot).

I had to edit:

 extensions/ArticleFeedbackv5/modules/ext.articleFeedbackv5/ext.articleFeedbackv5.startup.js

and add the following at line 84:

  enable = true;
