Description Helder 2011-05-30 21:28:19 UTC
On the page linked above an editor reported that the tool was displayed right after he created an article and also asked him "Did you know you can edit this page?", as in the following images:
[[File:AFT CTA edit.jpg]] / [[File:AFT-v2-CallToAction-Edit.png]]

Is this the wanted behavior?

Wouldn't be better to hide the tool if the article was created a few moments ago and is being viewed by its own author? Or, at least, to avoid that specific question of the survey?

The bug was also reported before on the following page:
[[Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Suggestions]]

This could be made by changing the 'condition' used in the 'edit' pitch[1]. Before returning "isPitchVisible( 'edit' )", the script could do an API call to get the timestamp+user of the last few revision(s)[2] of the page and check if the the current user was (or is among) the last editors of the page, returning false if he is. The same API data would provide the information needed to determine if the article was recently created: in this case there would be only one revision in the page history.

Alternatively, such info could be provided by means of some mw.config.get('wgVariable') which would be available for the ext.articleFeedback module without needing to do an API request

Comment 3 Rich Farmbrough 2011-08-03 12:52:54 UTC
There are two distinct but related requests here:

Firstly, don't ask a new-article author to rate it.

Secondly don't deliver the "did you know you can edit" message to - who? I would say, any logged in user, any IP who has already edited the article or edited recently.

This bug has not been touched in at least six months. With this in mind, I've been asked by the bugmeister to bump this bug's priority down from "High". Concerns can be addressed to mah@everybody.org.
Comment 5 Andre Klapper 2014-02-26 11:40:16 UTC
The extension homepage at [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedback]] says 
"This extension has been archived. This extension has not been maintained in some time, and no longer supports recent releases of MediaWiki.
The following other choices are still available: [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5]]"

Furthermore, ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) was removed from all Wikimedia wikis in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98074/

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier).
Closing this report as WONTFIX to reflect reality.
Please feel free to reopen this report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) again.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
