This page in a nutshell: The requirements and practicalities of implementing the feedback proposal |
Timescale[edit]
It is unlikely that this will be able to be enabled immediately if there is a positive response; it would not be ready until around July.
Initial requirements[edit]
- Contact WMF developers
-
Done - Andrew Gray in touch by email.
- Community discussion
-
- ongoing - see RFC
- Consider a small pilot
-
- We need to select specific collections/themes. (Details to follow)
Implementation plan[edit]
Various issues which will need to be configured or decided upon before a Commons release.
- Plan your release
- Namespaces and categories
- Moderation tools and filters
- Mask over inappropriate comments
- Feedback link on articles
- Auto-archive comments
- Discuss on talk page
- Abuse filter
- Calls to action
- Help pages
- Metrics dashboard update
- Editor Engagement Data
Customisation[edit]
There are two major issues to fix for a Commons deployment - the name and the localisation.
Name[edit]
"Article feedback" is certainly inappropriate for media files! Possible names: "media feedback"; "image comments"
Localisation[edit]
Most AFT deployments are monolingual - German localisation for the German Wikipedia, etc. Commons has a multilingual readership and it would be good to invite comments in several different languages.
It seems that the messages for AFT can be drawn from a local MediaWiki namespace page. If this is the case, we may be able to use the language-switch template code to display multiple different languages in the same way we handle license templates.
