[Foundation-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] [Wikimedia Foundation Blog] Article feedback pilot goes live

Mon Sep 27 17:53:32 UTC 2010

  Bence from the hu.wp community was kind enough to reach out via the 
Communications Committee about the hu.wp experience with the feature.  
The implementation on hu.wp actually merges article feedback with their 
implementation of flagged revs.  But according to Bence, the number of 
ratings per article is on the low end, so it may be difficult to draw 
useful conclusions for en.wp.  Still, it would be good for everyone to 
keep each other updated on how the feature is being used, what's working 
vs. what's not, etc.
