[Wikitech-l] Re: Wikipedia Personal Views

28 Aug 2004

I am curious... why would personal views interest a reader ?
And talk pages already exist for this I think...

Hi all,
I have implemented the following feature in MediaWiki, which maybe
some might find interesting/useful -- "Personal Views". Basically, any
article page has a "Personal Views" page attached to it; on subpages
of the personal views page, User's can record their personal views of
the topic of the article.
So, for example, User:Foo can record their personal viewpoint on
Microsoft on the page Personal_Views:Microsoft/Foo, a page which only
User:Foo can edit. And by going to "Personal_Views:Microsoft", we can
see everyone's personal views on Microsoft.
Some questions:

Any comments on how I implemented this? Anything in adding a new

namespace I forget to do?
2. Can I add this to the CVS?
Also, since my changes are relatively small, it might serve as an
example of how to add a new namespace to WikiMedia. (Maybe I can turn
it into a tutorial...)
Cheers
Simon Kissane
