Hi Aditya I'm truly sorry you are getting this kind of response, the replies you've got here seem very mean spirited but please don't take them personally. I hope it doesn't put you off building stuff on top of MediaWiki.
I just wanted to say thank you for building this, regardless of whether it gets used or not on mediawiki.org. I was curious to how generic the rating system is. For example would it be possible to use such a thing on something like BetaFeatures or was it specifically designed for extension rating? Could you point me to the code that provides this functionality? wikiapiary seems to be down :/ Jon On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 2:03 AM, K.
