template-influence-factor/README.md

This is a tool that calculates the Template Influence Factor of a Wikipedia template, which is a measure of how high risk it is, for the purposes of anti-vandalism. It runs on Wikimedia Labs.

Dependencies

• earwigbot >= 0.2
• flask >= 0.10.1
• flask-mako >= 0.3
• mako >= 1.0.3
• oursql >= 0.9.3.1

Running

• Install all dependencies listed above.

• Create an SQL database based on schema.sql on the same server as your MediaWiki database.

• Create an earwigbot instance in .earwigbot (run earwigbot .earwigbot). In .earwigbot/config.yml, fill out the connection info for the database by adding the following to the wiki section:

    _tifSQL:
        host: <hostname of database server>
        db:   <name of database>
  

  If additional arguments are needed by oursql.connect(), like usernames or passwords, they should be added to the _tifSQL section.

• Start the web server (on Tool Labs, webservice2 uwsgi-python start).
