Description

Wikipedia Transparency displays reliability signals directly on Wikipedia article pages. The extension only runs on real article pages (main namespace), not on special/project/user/talk pages. What The Extension Does Adds a discreet banner at the top of the page with: trust score (0-100) risk level (low/moderate/high) total page revisions (without loading full history) score base (number of revisions actually used for the score) a quick metrics summary a "why" explanation when the score drops 3 latest contributors with links to their profile and their diff detected Wikipedia quality label (Featured article / Good article / none) top 5 contributors (added words) with links to their contribution pages Explicitly handles sensitive cases: strong score decrease when there is high activity/conflict over 3 months strong score decrease for very recent pages with little history How The Score Is Calculated The trust score is a 0-100 score. Starting base: 80 Bonuses: +8 if at least 40 unique contributors +4 if at least 100 unique contributors +8 if the article is highly distributed (>=200 revisions, >=80 contributors, and top contributor share < 12%) Penalties: -14 if the top contributor exceeds 22% of revisions additional -8 if they exceed 35% -8 if more than 30% of edits are anonymous -14 if reverts exceed 18% additional -8 if reverts exceed 30% -8 if controversy comments exceed 10% -10 if more than 55% of edits happened in the last 30 days Recent-page cases: strong penalty if the page is recent and has little history (e.g., fewer than 20 revisions within 30 days) "Edit war" case (3-month window): penalty for high recent activity penalty for sudden acceleration vs the previous 3 months penalty for many recent reverts The final score is clamped between 0 and 100, then mapped to levels: Low risk if score >= 70 Moderate risk if score < 70 High risk if score < 50 GITHUB REPO : https://github.com/BeardTech/wikipedia-transparency-chrome-extension
