Behaviour

MoodBar adds a trigger to the top-left corner in the vector skin. It is displayed for all users who registered after $wgMoodBarCutoffTime. If EditPageTracking is installed, it is only shown for users who have visited an edit page before.

Users with the right moodbar-view can view feedback sent through the interface on Special:MoodBar, or by exporting it to CSV with the included maintenance script exportMoodBar.php.

MoodBar accepts feedback through an API module, action=moodbar.
