Overview
Displays trust and potential influence signals on Wikipedia pages.
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
