Project:Verification
The Wiki has a new extension that adds a "verification system" to help track changes between Wikis/tales.
Usage and How It Works
Simple Version
Two new tags have been created to mark information as "verified" or "unverified" in a way that is similar to how previous Wikis handled things. To mark a piece of information as "verified", simply add a <v />
tag next to it. Similarly, to mark a piece of information as "unverified", simply add a <uv />
tag next to it. Every page will attempt to estimate how thoroughly verified the entire page is based on the usage of these tags throughout so you can get a rough idea of the quality of any given page.
Detailed Version
As mentioned above, most tagging can be accomplished simply with the <v />
and <uv />
tags. However, there are a few more advanced features that can be used by power users.
Highlighting
Firstly, the <v />
and <uv />
tags can be wrapped around text in order to highlight a chunk of text in the event that a simple icon doesn't mark a piece of information clearly enough. An example would be to mark a sentence as "verified" by replacing the simple <v />
tag by instead writing <v>This text is verified</v>
. The two options will display as follows:
✓ This text is verifiedThis text is verified ? This text is unverifiedThis text is unverified
Weighting
If you really want to micromanage the verification percentage displayed in the top right of the page, you can "weight" <v />
and <uv />
tags based on how much information they cover. For example, if a single piece of information covers 4 times as much information as other tags on the page, you could flag that information <v w="4" />
which will weight it appropriately when calculating the page's verification percentage.
Fully Verified Pages
If you want to flag a page as being fully verified but don't see the need to pepper in <v />
icons throughout the page, you can instead add a <fully-verified />
or <all-verified />
tag anywhere on the page. This will override any other verification tags on the page and mark the page as "Fully Verified".
Disabling/Ignoring Verification
If you want to disable the display of the verification box for a given page, such as on the Main Page, you can add a <disable-verification />
or <no-verification />
tag anywhere on the page to ignore all other verification tags on the page.
