Allow users to rate pictures in their area

From http://www.opensym.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/OpenSym2018_paper_30-1.pdf :

“Photo Battle,” where instead of (or in
addition to) taking photographs, players could view and rate
the photos of other players in the same area. These ratings
could potentially then be aggregated and presented on the
Talk pages for the corresponding article, providing both
additional resources as well as augmenting commentary for
the original authors of those articles.

Rating pictures is an good idea by this we can also remove images which are not of any use or if someone has uploaded his or her photo

Currently, do we have such an API?

[nicolas-raoul]

Structured Commons will introduce a "Quality assessment" property for each media.
Until it is ready, I suggest implementing the UI already, and as the backend just adding ==Android Commons app quality assessment== Score:4 (1:Low quality, 5: High quality) to the media's talk page if the user selects 4 stars (for instance).

Also, let's add a "thank" to the picture if the number of stars is 4 or 5.

Is it the same as #2386 ?

@vanshikaarora Yes both issues are about Mediawiki's "thanking" feature. The present issue would give a thank, whereas the issue you mention would receive the thank :-)

That would be a great idea so currently shall we include the rating widget to the images in explore?

[nicolas-raoul]

Good question. I have not though about the UI.

If we mix featured pictures with normal pictures, users might rate normal pictures very harshly. Which might not be a problem, we could just maintain the user's medium rating for non-featured pictures, and apply a multiplication.

Maybe this activity could be sort of grouped with the peer review activity? Peers in the sense of mobile app users, and peers in the sense of same area. A "Peer review" item in the left menu would be acceptable.

Have you found the API that gives pictures in a current area? You can find it by looking at the JavaScript client-side code of https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikishootme/

@nicolas-raoul where should the rating icon be added?

Well, the idea is commendable :)

@nicolas-raoul "left-menu", is that navigation drawer?

[nicolas-raoul]

Ah yes, navigation drawer is the right word, thanks!

[vanshikaarora]

@nicolas-raoul Currently the "Peer-review" activity is will be showing a list of images along with their rating or is it something else?

[nicolas-raoul]

There are several ways to implement this.
A) In Explore, as a "Nearby pictures" tab. For consistency maybe the rating feature could be available on all pictures found in Explore, not just nearby pictures
B) As a part of Peer Review, for instance after recently uploaded pictures have all been reviewed (this would require creating a server-side database of what pictures have been reviewed).
