I am looking for a way to list the top 5 most active users, it looks like the extension http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpecialUserScore should do this, so I added it but it isnt working as a template. When I visit the Special:UserScore page it works if I am logged in as ops but when I put {{Special:UserScore}} it doesn't display a list of the most active users? Instead a link to Special:UserScore is displayed.
That "extension" doesn't seem to follow the established guidelines for writing them - it requires modification of core code, and it looks like the installation process is a bit messed up.
It shouldn't be too difficult to create an includable special page or parser hook which does the job, however. If you fancy a bash at it, take a look on http://meta.wikimedia.org and http://www.mediawiki.org for documentation, such as it is, on extension writing.
