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
