Description of the tool/project
Notifies a user when they qualify for the Wikipedia Library. The notification is sent upon the user's first edit when their global edit count is at least 500 and their account age is at least 6 months. The extension uses a hidden global preference to remember whether the user has already received a notification, so they get notified only once, not for every edit after they qualify.
Description of how the tool will be used at WMF
To educate users about the Wikipedia Library project and resources available through it, once they qualify
Dependencies
- CentralAuth (for getting the user's global edit count and the registration time of their global account)
- GlobalPreference (for remembering which users have already been notified)
Has this project been reviewed before?
Individual patches were reviewed by myself and Stephane Bisson, but nobody outside the team has reviewed the extension
Working test environment
wfLoadExtension( 'TheWikipediaLibrary' ); // For easier testing you might consider: $wgTwlEditCount = 2; // send notification after two edits $wgTwlRegistrationDays = 1; // require accounts to be one day old
