Jake (User:Ocaasi) needs some help and has written up a spec -- I
include part of it here:
Background: The Wikipedia Adventure (TWA) is an onboarding game--a
guided tour to teach new editors how to contribute to Wikipedia. In the
game players are invited to help out at a hypothetical article (Earth),
and along the way they learn skills while interacting with simulated peers.
Goal: Make TWA players feel like they are actually receiving messages
from other editors, when in fact they are just sending messages to
themselves.
Method: Use the Mediawiki Edit API. Have a button (or a link) on a
Wikipedia subpage of Wikipedia:TWA/ use the API to add target text to a
target page. Because different messages are received at different points
in the game, the ability to customize the target text and target page is
critical.
Implementation: Build a JavaScript userscript stored in the user’s
common.js page. The beta-version of the game will later deliver this
script as a gadget (set in user preferences, turned on by default, and
only active from the Wikipedia:TWA/ subspace).
There's more at the Village Pump page. Anyone have a little time to help?
