Gamification here relates to one type of interface, where a user gets supplied a random example of an issue, and then tries to resolve that, with a single resolution being just a small task. For an example of what that looks like in a Wikimedia- context, see the Wikidata game at https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/. A game could for example be used to re-categorize files in categories that are too general (like [[Category:People]]), to categorize uncategorized images or to add a certain type of category to files where for some reason it seems likely to apply (for example, images that in some way are described as paintings which have no author-category). -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
