- In sentimental analysis you start with a dictionary of words that correspond to emotions - break down a text to see the sentiment breakdown
- First, an API on Wikimedia Labs which takes the page name of a Flow-enabled talk page and the source and gives the sentiment analysis of the text (e.g. https://sentimentalk.wmflabs.org/analyze?page_name=Talk:Cross-wiki%20Search%20Result%20Improvements&api=www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php) (helps to have JSON Formatter Chrome extension)
- There's also a web app for visualizing the results overall, by topic, and by participant: https://bearloga.shinyapps.io/sentimentalkr/
- API can be used to perform the analysis and then the output used in some formula to calculate the civility score of a discussion
