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

• 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)):

page_count+SQRT(rev_count-page_count)*2
