Description:
The extension for social rewarding may be an interesting option for small wikis struggling to get working community. Without sufficient interest there will not be many active users, and without enough active users no community will emerge.
Various kinds of social rewarding may be a simple yet efficient way to initiate a community. By visualizing which ones are active we will increase the interest somewhat, perhaps enough that an initial community will start to emerge.
There are one extension called SocialRewarding (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SocialRewarding) which may be sufficient for test purposes. Unfortunately it seems like it have some load issues. Still in a wiki that is rather small, like the one at Northern Sami language (http://se.wikipedia.org), it may not be a very big issue. Later when the community exists the extension may be turned off. Until then it seems to be an important asset.
What needs to be done with this extension before it can be enabled on sewp?
