I think you meant "non-wikimedia" - given that we're talking about
features of Mediawiki...
err yes.
Actually, given the number of customisations that have
been carried out
to our wikis, I'm not entirely sure that the results would be valid. We
need the exact same conditions with only 1 variable changed (the
presence of the validation feature) for the results to be valid in any way.
If we were looking at wether it would be a bulk server hog I think we
could get away with that. Hardwear setups would be more of an issue
but even limited data is better than none
Given that Commons has traditionally been a place of
innovation and
trying out new features, why not start there?
Because rateing the kind of material they have there doesn't make a
hudge amount of sense. If we wanted to test it on a smaller wikimedia
project then one of the non english wikipedias would be most logical.
Which one would depend on the size of test you wanted to carry out.
