If you would like any user rights on the test installation, just ask. --Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 12:52, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like user rights to test the extension

Be sure that you've visited the test2 wiki while logged in before requesting rights, so that your account will be auto-created there.

Known bugs

See the list of open bugs and enhancement requests. The significant bugs will be fixed before deployment. The most noticeable include:

  • Saving a course description prompts a confusing "leave page" warning. [1]
  • The "MyCourses" special page doesn't show the recent activity it is supposed to, probably because of a conflict with another extension. [2]

Find a new bug?

Note any other bugs you find here (or submit bug reports for the extension on Bugzilla).

Terrible design

IMO the design of this extension is terrible. It is a webapp being deployed into the wiki.

It should use wiki pages for textual content (e.g. Commons has 'Institution' pages like commons:Institution:New York Public Library), categorisation of users (Category:Wikipedians), and provide new special pages that are transcludable tools. e.g. I should be able to use the new dynamic user-article-reviewer table should work on Category:Wikipedians by WEP institution: New York University, Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: New York University, Category:Wikipedians in New York , Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as copyright violations, Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as attack pages, Category:Good article nominees, or Category:Pending DYK nominations.
