OTOH, that could be a cool extension. Think determining something based on a series on yes-no decisions - this is how you can identify plants (using a book) or the car that matches you best (a German newspaper does that every odd year or so). It could work with specially prepared wiki pages. Oh, if I only had more time to code...
You could easily implement this just as a series of pages with multiple answers, with the right answer linking to the next page. Yes, easily defeated, but so would any quiz be.
Example:
When will Mickey Mouse become public domain: *[[Q1A|1995]] *[[Q1B|2005]] *[[Q1C|2015]] *[[Q1D|Never]]
Q1A, Q1B and Q1C all redirect to some "no, that's incorrect, try again". Q1D redirects to Q2.
Easy. No extension required. Just ask people not to publish the link to the final upload page.
I don't want to force (or even suggest for) everyone to go through the quiz every single time they want to upload. I want to force all new users [or all users... I don't really care] to go through the quiz once before they start (or continue) uploading. Is it possible to do this without modifying MediaWiki?
