--- Comment #4 from CBM <[email protected]> 2010-05-09 23:49:02 UTC --- A reasonable implementation of this as an extension would be more difficult than you might think. (1) On enwiki, many articles have more than one quality rating and more than one importance rating. This is because each rating is Wikiproject-specific. Different projects may have different requirements for quality ratings, and importance is always assessed on a per-project basis. New Wikiprojects are formed routinely, so it is not feasible to hard-code a list into the database. (2) A key requirement for ratings is the ability to keep a log of assessment changes. This is done by a bot on enwiki. Replacing the current bot-based system with an extension would require implementing logging as well (there is currently no built-in category membership logging, for example) (3) People are already used to using category-based tools, which would need conversion to a new system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
