Just find someone with serves access to a non mediawiki wiki and turn it on and see what happens. If all else fails the person who runs the other wiki project I work on would love to have this feature.
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.
