The ImageRating extension adds a new special page, Special:ImageRating, where privileged users can categorize and rate images. By default all registered users are given the rateimage user right , which is required for users to be able to access this special page.

The rating functionality uses VoteNY extension, and thus VoteNY is a hard dependency for this extension, i.e. you cannot install and/or use ImageRating without installing VoteNY, too.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted ImageRating 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/ImageRating
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ImageRating' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Notes

• ImageRating only works on locally uploaded files
