The Contribution Scores extension polls the wiki database to locate contributors with the highest contribution volume. The extension is intended to add a fun metric for contributors to see how much they are helping.

Installation

edit
  • Download and move the extracted ContributionScores folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContributionScores
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'ContributionScores' );
    // Exclude Bots from the reporting - Can be omitted.
    $wgContribScoreIgnoreBots = true; 
    // Exclude Blocked Users from the reporting - Can be omitted.
    $wgContribScoreIgnoreBlockedUsers = true;
    // Exclude specific usernames from the reporting - Can be omitted.
    $wgContribScoreIgnoreUsernames = [];
    // Use real user names when available - Can be omitted. Only for MediaWiki 1.19 and later.
    $wgContribScoresUseRealName = true;
    // Set it to true to disable the cache for the parser function and the inclusion of the table.
    $wgContribScoreDisableCache = false;
    // Use the total edit count to compute the Contribution score.
    $wgContribScoreUseRoughEditCount = false;   
    // Each array defines a report - 7,50 is "past 7 days," and "LIMIT 50" - Can be omitted.
    $wgContribScoreReports = [
        [ 7, 50 ],
        [ 30, 50 ],
        [ 0, 50 ]
    ];
    
  •   Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Contribution score

The score is defined as (number of unique pages edited) + 2 * square root ((number of edits) - (number of unique pages edited)):
