Has anyone tried integrating a reputation system with MediaWiki?
It's been talked about on and off, but:
- They have an impact on the community, and so there needs to be some
consensus as to what form they should take. 2) They are notoriously easy to game. It may be possible to design a reasonably robust one, but it's non-trivial, especially if it is also to match whatever constraints (1) proposes. 3) Nobody has actually implemented one in MediaWiki.
I was always under the impression that we don't want such a reputation system because no matter how robust you make it, it is always easier to game than it is to make it robust against that particular attack.
Which is kind of the opposite of wiki philosophy, where undoing vandalism is supposed to be made easier than to vandalise.
