Hi Aditya I'm truly sorry you are getting this kind of response, the replies you've got here seem very mean spirited but please don't take them personally. I hope it doesn't put you off building stuff on top of MediaWiki.
I just wanted to say thank you for building this, regardless of whether it gets used or not on mediawiki.org.
I was curious to how generic the rating system is. For example would it be possible to use such a thing on something like BetaFeatures or was it specifically designed for extension rating?
Could you point me to the code that provides this functionality? wikiapiary seems to be down :/ Jon

What do you base that on? As far as I can see, there's just a bot that adds/updates the rating to the extension template:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:ConfirmEdit&diff=p...
And that's also explicitly stated in the GSoC proposal: "During this period I will work on the Data Syndication phase of the project.
- For this, I will be extending the existing WikiApiary bot, creating new
asynchronous worker tasks." _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
