WikiAffetto
WikiAffetto è un sistema in evidenza progettato per rendere facile e divertente esprimere pubblicamente apprezzamento per gli altri utenti. WikiAffetto può essere invocato da qualsiasi pagina utente cliccando sull'icona "Cuore". È stato originariamente sviluppato da Ryan Kaldari come uno script utente, e ora è disponibile come una estensione MediaWiki che gli sviluppatori possono aggiungere ai loro wiki.

Gli utenti volentieri volen sentirsi apprezzati. Secondo un sondaggio del 2011 sugli editor di Wikipedia (vedi dati principali), tra 17 variabili, "essere guardati con disprezzo da editor più esperti" è la più probabile causa che fa dire alle persone che modificheranno meno frequentemente (69% di accordo), mentre "ricevere complimenti per le tue modifiche/articoli" è la causa più probabile che fa dire alle persone che modificheranno più frequentemente (78% di accordo). Vedi anche: "Il feedback positivo funziona per modificare, dicono gli editor di Wikipedia" sul blog di Wikimedia.
D'altra parte, modificare Wikipedia è diventato più difficile col tempo, e la probabilità che i nuovi utenti ricevano correzioni/critiche è aumentata. Questo è riflesso da vari sforzi per codificare e analizzare l'esperienza dei nuovi utenti, come la recente ricerca sulla strategia di insegnamento per i principianti intrapresa nell'ambito del nostro Summer of Research.

How to customise
This section is about how to customise WikiLove for an individual editor. To learn how to customise WikiLove for an entire wiki, see Extension:WikiLove. |
The WikiLove interface can be tailored to suit the needs of each individual editor. If you want to use WikiLove for leaving welcome messages, birthday cakes, or hedgehogs, it's easy to override the default configuration with your own settings.
The WikiLove configuration is one large JSON object, so to make a change or addition, all you have to do is modify the values that are assigned to the keys. To see what values are currently assigned, first check the MediaWiki:WikiLove.js page on your local wiki. This will have any local overrides. Next, take a look at the default configuration. This will show you the basic tree of data that makes up the settings for WikiLove. Once you have decided what values you want to change, go to your skin.js file on the wiki you are using. (If you are on the English Wikipedia, for example, you would edit this page.) To change an existing item, simply override its value with an assignment statement.
Change an existing type
For example, if you wanted to change the display name 'Kittens' to 'Cats', you would add the following to your local .js file (User:Example/skin.js):
mw.loader.using( 'ext.wikiLove.defaultOptions', function() {
$.wikiLoveOptions.types.kitten.name = 'Cats';
} );
If you wanted to change the image for Stroopwafels, you would add:
mw.loader.using( 'ext.wikiLove.defaultOptions', function() {
$.wikiLoveOptions.types.food.subtypes.stroopwafels.image = 'Stroopwafels.jpg';
} );
Add a new type
You can also add an entirely new item type (or subtype) using the JSON tree structure. For example to add "Hedgehogs":
mw.loader.using( 'ext.wikiLove.defaultOptions', function() {
$.wikiLoveOptions.types.hedgehog = {
name: 'Hedgehogs', // name of the type (appears in the types menu)
fields: [ 'header', 'message' ], // fields to ask for in form
header: 'A hedgehog for you!', // header that appears at the top of the talk page post (optional)
text: '[[$3|left|150px]]\n$1\n\n~~'+'~~\n<br style="clear: both"/>', // $3 is the image filename, $1 is the message
gallery: {
imageList: [ 'Hedgehog1.jpg', 'Orizo5.jpg', 'Erinaceus europaeus LC0119.jpg' ],
width: 145, // maximum width of the images in the gallery
height: 150, // maximum height of the images in the gallery
number: 3 // number of random images to show (optional)
},
icon: 'http://www.mysite.com/images/wikilove-icon-hedgehog.png' // appears in the types menu
};
} );
Make sure you declare all of the appropriate parameters when adding new items! To learn about all the different type parameters, refer to the extension documentation.
Create a new type icon
The Photoshop source file for the WikiLove type icons (the black and white icons that appear in the left-hand menu) can be downloaded. To create your own, paste in a graphic that is approximately 50 × 50 pixels, desaturate it, and copy and paste the styles that are applied to the examples in the source file.
Change the heart icon
You can also customise the WikiLove heart icon used in the Vector skin by editing your vector.css file (User:Example/vector.css). If you want to change the red heart icon to a blue heart, for example, you would add the following:
#ca-wikilove.icon a {
background-image: url("/w/extensions/WikiLove/resources/images/heart-icons-blue.png");
}
Requests for additional deployment
Individual wikis may request that WikiLove be deployed to them provided the following criteria are met:
- Community consensus for the deployment has been reached
- The WikiLove extension has been localised to that wiki's language on TranslateWiki (you can help localise it)
- A configuration file exists on the local wiki (MediaWiki:WikiLove.js)
Once these criteria are met, open a bug in Phabricator requesting the deployment.
WikiLove activity in real-time
WikiLove collects data in its own tables, but this data isn't surfaced through the UI yet. To quickly see what's going on, you can use edit filter 423 on the English Wikipedia.
