The Contribution Scores extension polls the wiki database to locate contributors with the highest contribution volume – it is also in stable use on a high-volume wiki such as translatewiki.net. The extension is intended to add a fun metric for contributors to see how much they are helping out.

The score is defined as (number of unique pages edited) + 2 * square root ((number of edits) - (number of unique pages edited)).

Installation

• <translate> [[<tvar name=2>Special:ExtensionDistributor/ContributionScores</tvar>|Download]] and move the extracted <tvar name=name>ContributionScores</tvar> folder to your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> directory.</translate>
  <translate> Developers and code contributors should install the extension [[<tvar name=git>Special:MyLanguage/Download from Git</tvar>|from Git]] instead, using:</translate>cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContributionScores
• <translate> Add the following code at the bottom of your <tvar name=1>LocalSettings.php </tvar> file:</translate>

  wfLoadExtension( 'ContributionScores' );
  // Exclude Bots from the reporting - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreIgnoreBots = true; 
  // Exclude Blocked Users from the reporting - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreIgnoreBlockedUsers = true;
  // Exclude specific usernames from the reporting - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreIgnoreUsernames = [];
  // Use real user names when available - Can be omitted. Only for MediaWiki 1.19 and later.
  $wgContribScoresUseRealName = true;
  // Set to true to disable cache for parser function and inclusion of table.
  $wgContribScoreDisableCache = false;
  // Use the total edit count to compute the Contribution score.
  $wgContribScoreUseRoughEditCount = false;   
  // Each array defines a report - 7,50 is "past 7 days" and "LIMIT 50" - Can be omitted.
  $wgContribScoreReports = [
      [ 7, 50 ],
      [ 30, 50 ],
      [ 0, 50 ]
  ];
