User reputation
Terminology:
All articles are divided into 3 categories, with associated "popularity" index:
- Popular (popularity = 6) -- the top 10% of articles sorted according to the number of views
- Interesting (3) -- next 30%
- Regular (1) -- remaining 60%
Rating calculation:
Rating consists of two numbers:
- Basic (Public) rating -- for creation and editing of pages
- Social Rating -- for commenting on pages and other people's changes
Calculation of Basic Rating:
- + (10 x Popularity) for creation of a page
- +3 for every user who gives positive comment on a change
- -3 for every user who gives negative comment on a change
If there are multiple comments on a given change by the same user, only the last non-neutral comment counts for the rating
Calculation of Social Rating:
- +2 for a positive comment (to a page or a change)
- +1 for a negative comment
This reputation system is just a "strawman". Don't hesitate to give your suggestions!
