Summary: ReaderFeedback early input from Strategy project
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: ReaderFeedback
AssignedTo: jschulz_4...@msn.com
ReportedBy: ft2.w...@gmail.com
There's been discussion of reader feedback in the strategy project. We should
probably keep it to 3 metrics for simplicity and to encourage use, but also --
critically -- we need to capture the user's own knowledge level and probably
use a click-bar (not a dropdown or popup).
SUGGESTED METRICS:
Metrics tentatively suggested on the strategy wiki, are:
Balanced (includes neutrality)
Coverage (of topic, ie completeness)
Sources (is it well cited)
Up to date
Up to date is important for academic and scientific pages; and presentation
(currently requested) may be less important as layout tends to be "encyclopedia
standard" for most pages; ie it's not so much of a "page by page" issue.
USER KNOWLEDGE LEVEL:
Capturing the user's own knowledge level is extremely valuable:
Casual reader
Knowledgable
Very knowledgable
Formally qualified
Two benefits - it allows us to see how users of different levels of topic
knowledge rate articles. So we can distinguish how experts rate the page (or
its usefulness) vs. how newcomers to the topic or casual readers rate it.
It also lets us understand the reader profile of the page, so editors can
understand what audience level it's getting.
CLICK BAR NOT POPUPS:
Popups ("rate this page!") are probably going to be seen as "spammy" or
ignored. A click bar (eg strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Quality_bar_2.png )
may get better feedback.
Some input, having seen this extension on the test wiki.
