Aye, the English Wiktionary has had a rating feature in the sidebar for ages as well. (The English Wiktionary's implementation might be the oldest working system.) I wrote some comments about the grant-based ArticleFeedback tool here and there are some interesting, thoughtful replies: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=395730#Assorted_comments I think a neat rating tool would be an awesome addition to MediaWiki. I don't think it's top priority, though. I also don't think the current implementation is anywhere near what users would actually want to see. The English Wikipedia has a lot of "quirky" articles, for example. It'd be awesome if you could get a list of those easily (or randomly flip through the most quirky). Or the most "fascinating," the articles with the "best layouts," (following the addition of a "share this article" feature) the "most e-mailed," (following the addition of proper view metrics) the "most viewed," etc. MZMcBride _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
