Wikipedia:WikiMoney

"WP:MONEY" redirects here. For the WikiProject dealing with money and currency, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics.

WikiMoney is a mutual credit system introduced to Wikipedia in May 2003 by User:AxelBoldt. It was never especially popular and fell into nearly complete disuse by September 2004. While Wikipedians are still welcome to participate, they must do so with the realization that WikiMoney is rarely used.

The stated purpose of WikiMoney is to create an "economy of incentives" for working on Wikipedia-related tasks. Some see WikiMoney as a quantification of WikiLove — as an act of friendship between contributors. Others see it in a more pragmatic sense, as an efficient system to prioritize tasks and direct the community towards effective contributions.

The system works as follows: every long-term contributor (active for longer than 1 month and having made more than 200 edits) who wishes to participate gets an initial grant of 20 units of WikiMoney (also known as Wikis and written like this: ψ45 for 45 Wikis). This WikiMoney can be offered to other Wikipedians in exchange for various services. The WikiMoney accounts of all Wikipedians are maintained in the WikiBank on this page; WikiMoney is transferred by simply editing the account balances in the WikiBank.

However, not only veteran contributors are allowed to earn WikiMoney; anyone can join. If you are new or too busy to become a "long-term contributor" (according to the definition above) you can earn your initial credits by accepting offers (listed below). Note, however, that Wikipedians usually have high standards for the writing of articles, so make sure you are familiar with the policies and guidelines, especially the requirement for NPOV.

Why should you try to earn WikiMoney? Because you can spend it on tasks that are near and dear to your heart (but please do not use it to push your point of view in edit disputes, or to bribe people when voting). The concept is similar to the idea behind timebanks and LETS systems, where volunteers earn "time credits" or local currency for helping their local community. Our system is more flexible: It allows you to define how valuable the tasks are to you, and you can join up with others to "fund" a specific activity.

Please remember that WikiMoney is not "real" money! At the present time relatively few Wikipedians are using this page regularly, so don't take it too seriously. (If you are serious about Money and Wikipedia, please consider making a donation to Wikipedia.)

WikiBank

Main page: Wikipedia:WikiMoney accounts

Explanation

If you have worked on Wikipedia under your current user name for longer than 1 month and have made more than 200 edits, you can add yourself to the account list, with an initial balance of 20 units.

To transfer money from your account into somebody else's, edit the two account balances accordingly. Never deduct money from someone else's account without their express permission.

Offers

You can offer to pay WikiMoney for various services, or you can offer to perform services for a specified amount of WikiMoney. Examples include:

• offer WikiMoney for the creation/improvement of a specific article
• offer WikiMoney to anyone who finds a factual mistake in a specific set of articles
• offer WikiMoney for a specific laborious task, such as a voluminous renaming, spell checking, modification of the format of date pages, list of biographies etc. -- or conversely, offer to perform such a task for a specified amount of WikiMoney
• offer WikiMoney to the developers for implementing a specific feature/fixing a specific software bug
• in principle, WikiMoney transfers aren't even limited to goods/services related to Wikipedia

Please remember that the currency is not divisible: only whole numbers are possible.

Note that if you see an interesting offer below, you can of course add to the offer by inserting a comment to this effect. Please remember to sign any offer you make with the date and time (shortcut: ~~~~).

If an offer has been completed and paid, you may want to move it into the "fulfilled requests" section below.

I'll redirect the ψ2 to whoever can force more consistent naming of mancala variants on the world at large. Kevin Saff 02:37, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Yeah, on further research I'm convinced Oware and Awari (and Wari, Warri, etc.) most properly refer to the same game. What I had at Awari, I've moved to Kalah which seems like the best place for now. Kevin Saff 04:15, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • That's a lot of work. How about $5/letter of alphabet. And I don't agree with making a one-line description. I like the current 1-2 word description. The birth/death years would be useful, though. LittleDan

Software development

• ψ20 to whoever lets me export deleted articles. anthony (see warning) 14:37, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• ψ10 to whoever writes and implements a Bot to give The Book of Mormon on Wikisource a next/prev navigation bar at the top and bottom of each page (not to replace chapter navigation boxes that are already there though, just to enhance them). Make sure to discuss it on the Scriptorium over there before use, of course. Note: this could be done by hand if you're desperate for Wikimoney and can't program, I don't care :) - biggins | talk 20:51, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
• ψ19 to whoever adds an option to hide edits made by yourself in Special:Watchlist (bug 190), and give an indication of which edits were made after the last time you looked at Special:Watchlist. ··gracefool |☺ 04:24, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Done by Timwi 03:42, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Not done by Timwi. I'm willing to alter the requirements... - Woodrow 14:49, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • I don't understand. I implemented the feature as requested. – But then, I've stopped being interested in WikiMoney. :-p – Timwi 14:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

• ψ6 for adding any of the following features to the Wikipedia software (leave me a message for details): --Eloquence 23:45 May 10, 2003 (UTC)
  • to edit tables in their own namespace. Tables should still be stored in the CUR table in the same row as the articles that use them, but if a table is preceded by [[Table:Title of table]], the table code is hidden when the page is edited, and can instead be edited on a separate page (by following a small edit link under the table), like the text of image pages.
    • combine this with m:Image pages for an extra ψ20 from me. Both of these systems should be able to use common markup to align the table or image to right / left / center. -- Tarquin 08:18 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
  • to propose an automatic merge in case of edit conflicts whenever possible, and only ask the user to verify this merge (using a diff).
  • to support external editors via a helper application written in a script language of your choice, and possibly changes to the Wikipedia software, as described in [2]. (External editor support gets another W4 from me. AxelBoldt 01:04 May 11, 2003 (UTC))
    • Another ψ3 from me if and only if it will NOT allow MS-y ";smart quotes", &#8217 single quotes, similarly encoded mdashes, etc. If anyone creates such an editing utility that does allow such atrocities, however, I shall demand a ψ3 fine for all the extra work that's going to make for me. John Owens 07:56 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
    • Same from me: extra ψ3 for killing duff characters. but a ψ15 fine if they're in-- Tarquin 08:18 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
    • Hey, do HTML editors count (like Mozilla's built-in composer)? My html2wikipedia tool converts HTML to Wikipedia wikitext. It also tries to fix up some of Microsoft's stupid characters (though not all), so the not smart quotes get translated - so you could even use Word as your offline editor (though I don't recommend it for that purpose). Take a look, if it meets your needs, feel free to say so and send Wikimoney my way! -- Dwheeler 04:31 24 May 2003 (UTC)

• ψ1 for someone to make a feature so that ^e makes a € and ^l makes a pound sign. LittleDan
  • Can we alter the requirements for this one a bit? After all, "^e" is going to be used a bit in math articles, where it will mean "raised to the power of the logarithmic base", of course. Converting it to a € seems a poor choice to me. -- John Owens 05:18 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
    • Maybe &e. I don't think that's ever used. (the convention in math articles is to use ^''e'' anyway.
      • Read any TeX <math> stuff lately? Sure, we could program in an exception for that... and then another, and another.... -- John Owens 09:53 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
    • I don't see why "^e" would be a problem. How likely is it that someone will want to use € in an equation? It could probably be set up so that "^e" is not recognized (as €) inside <math> anyway. --bdesham 02:01 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)

• ψ1 to anyone who makes it so that things enclosed in ^^s (two ^ on either side) are superscript and things inclosed in __ (two underscores on either side) are subscript (comment about underlines deleted) LittleDan
  • See, the problem is that now I can outbid you because I can't see ANY reason to underline things in Wikipedia, and I think it should be avoided. This is why money is bad :( It's better that we discuss these things rather than just throw money around even if it is fictional. -- Tarquin 19:08 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
    • Well, I still think we need subscript and superscript. And we do discuss things. People wouldn't blindly make a feature just for money. Maybe there should be a Wikipedia:Requested features or something like that.
      • there is...

• ψ10 for anyone who implements my "bookmarking for diffs" feature request -- RobLa 03:24 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
  • I don't like the added complexity of bookmarks. How about transparently storing the revision number in the watchlist when viewing the article? That way, you could have a diff to the "last seen" version. Alternatively there could be a diff to the "last edited" version, which would be the last one edited by the user.--Eloquence 03:59 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
    • The problem with the "last edited" would be that people might start doing spurious edits to simulate bookmarks. "Last seen" might work, but that seems like too much of a hair trigger. -- RobLa 05:39 May 15, 2003 (UTC)

• ψ15 to ψ30 for anyone who implements m:SVG image support. ψ15 if it just allows some kind of autoconversion of svg images to pngs and url rewritting. ψ30 if it allows editing and diffing of the images as discussed in the article. I also promise to upload svgs for all the images that I have created from vector graphics when this feature is added. Jrincayc 02:15, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC) (and another W5–10 from bdesham 22:17, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC))

• ψ10 to anyone who adds a feature to the Image: pages writing out the size of the image. — Sverdrup (talk) 12:48, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • "View Image" in Mozilla (hint, hint) ;-) — Timwi 13:20, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Yep. I know very well that many browsers do this. But my browser doesn't, and I don't want to rely on my browser, I want this to be part of the Image: feature. — Sverdrup (talk) 14:38, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• ψ10 to the person who changes the international page so that the link to the Belarussian Wikipedia is in the 1000-10000 article category where it belongs. Scott Gall 08:51, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Requests

• ψ45,000 to anyone who nominates me for adminship, on the condition that I actually succeed in the process (that is, I become an admin as a result of the nomination). This means that you will need to do some research on my history and my contributions, so that you can make a meaningful nomination. Thanks. :-) Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq.

WikiLove, WikiMen and WikiFlowers

As suggested by KingTurtle, it is the end of spring, bees are still busy buzzing in gorgeous flowers. And men may be offered flowers to show appreciation.
Especially flower pictures, as it does not imply preventing the plant to reproduce (which is not very nice, right ?).

Hence, I will offer 1 wikilove to anyone who will offer one or several beautiful non-copyrighted flower pictures to a wikiman. Favor one man, you get 1 wikilove from me (perhaps, you will also get virtual wikilove from the man as well). Favor two men, you get 2 wikiloves. Favor 10, and you get 10 wikiloves. Right ?

Pictures have to be free of copyright of course, so they can be used for Wikipedia. Preferably, wikiflower pictures should illustrate a plant which either has no article on itself, or an article with no flower picture at all. But any wikiflower will be nevertheless warmly welcome.

For reference

• List of flower plants : some have no pict (example : Begonia, geranium), some have only drawings (as I already mentionned, drawings are nice, but it is less good than real stuff)
• Flowering plant might provide other hints and ideas

• Dear KQ gets 2 wikiloves for giving me the idea with 64 white pure flowers.
  
• Dear MB gets 1 wikilove for offering me a lavender flower plant pict and putting it at lavender. Thanks a lot MB.
• Dear MB gets 1 wikilove for offering User:Angela a trillium flower plant pict and putting it at trillium. Thanks a lot again MB. (The wiki is gonna be very very colorful !)
• Dear User:Hephaestos gets 2 wikiloves for image:Pasdetout.jpeg. Double amount of love for a perfect timing.

Tip: setexconsulting seems to offer a number of flower images for free User:TeunSpaans Also see pdphoto for free flower photos. TeunSpaans 08:12, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • Suggestion: Use W¤ (a "W" followed by the international generic currency symbol)
    • I like ψ the best, so I'm giving Kingturtle ψ1. LittleDan
  • What is the kanji for this currency unit? --User:Juuitchan
    • That question makes as much sense to me as asking for the kanji for the euro currency, or for Saudi Arabian riyals. It's not a Japanese concept, and doesn't have a kanji. -- pne 16:10, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
      • Not necessarily true. Kanjis have been developed for concepts not originally Japanese. Either it will gain a Kanji or be converted as Katakana. - Tεxτurε 16:30, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

• I added ψ2 to my account for creating Harvey Ball. As Timwi pointed out, someone forgot to sign this one, so I don't know which account the money should be removed from. Angela 19:07, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • A simple search of the history page reveals that the Harvey Ball offer was made by Kingturtle on June 1, 2003. Next time I will think of trying such a simple search first, before searching for it by binary search on the old versions <sigh>. Tualha 00:16, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
