[19:47:50] I had to share this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki#Introducing_a_more_user-friendly_UI_for_proposal_voting_via_an_extension [19:48:58] It's a simple poll extension, and both the interface and the code seem pretty well done for the little understanding I have. For convenience, here's the demo video link from the message above: https://share.push-f.com/mediawiki-vote-demo.mp4 [19:49:57] I'm quite surprised nothing like this had been done before! At least, I can't find anything similar in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Poll_extensions, even though it's a pretty common practice across the Wikimedia world! [19:50:24] Am I missing something obvious about the implementation, a fatal flaw that explains why nothing like this has existed before?? [19:51:46] is the question in the context of deploying something like this to WMF wikis? Or in general as a mediawiki extensions for other wikis/ [19:53:15] tbh when someone says they “overcame [their] aversion for PHP” I assume I’m about to see at least two security vulnerabilities [19:56:36] There's a weird mix of coding to different standards [21:11:30] I don't have any plans, really, just curious since community votes have been central to the Wikimedia movement since very early, yet there doesn't seem to have been a tool to facilitate those in the same way this extension does. Maybe it's just that voting via editing wikicode is good enough? (re @chicocvenancio: is the question in the context of deploying something like this to [21:11:30] WMF wikis? Or in general as a mediawiki extensions for other ...) [21:12:14] That said, I also wanted to know whether I should encourage/help the author make the extension more reusable in other wikis, including Wikimedia ones eventually. [21:12:40] I guess one big difference is that Wikimedians are often expected to be proficient in editing wikis, unlike OSMians who (I assume?) would be expected to be proficient in editing *OSM* with the wiki as a secondary priority [21:12:49] (not saying whether that’s a good thing, or whether Wikimedia votes should be directed at editors only) [21:14:12] That makes sense, yeah.
