Hi Amir,
Thanks for waiting. As I understand it, we have these options for making the ORES scores visible on article talk pages:
1. A gadget
2. An addition to the ORES extension
3. A bot
Is that correct?
Yes
WP:WPP refers to WikiProject Philosophy; did you man something else or am I misunderstanding the abbreviation?
I'm thinking that a gadget might be a workable solution, but my preference would be to have the score displayed on all article talk pages automatically for everyone to see including readers who are not logged in. A bot that posted scores to talk pages and updated the scores on a weekly basis would be good for that purpose.
Both are possible solutions but as for bots. Updating the score for all articles of a wikiproject (e.g. Wikiproject medicine has 35K articles) on weekly basis is not efficient. That bot needs to do 35K edits every week and it might make some people mad. We can have an initial release and update it on demand (like adding a link to the score in the template. If someone wants that score gets updated. Just clicks on the link and the bot update it)
I'm unclear on how an addition to the ORES extension would work; can you explain further what that option would involve?
Adding it to the ores extension will make things much easier. You just need to enable it in your beta features and then in the talk page or action=info you will see the score. Implementing it is difficult due to storage issues for the database and we might need to get operations approval before continuing.
Best
