{{Nutshell | Wikimedia Foundation has built the [[mw:Extension:Education Program|Education Program extension]] to make it easier to keep track of classes where students are assigned to edit Wikipedia. Should this be enabled on English Wikipedia? If so, who should be able to use it?}}
==Purpose of this request for comment==
This request for comment is asking whether to turn on the [[mw:Extension:Education Program|Education Program extension]] that the Wikimedia Foundation has been developing to make the activity of Wikipedia Education Program courses—and potentially other educational assignments as well—more transparent and easier for the community to track.

:::: Maybe we should have a bot or abusefilter that reverts/prevents users from adding signatures to article space (can't think of a case where that is necessary) [[User:OhanaUnited|<b><font color="#0000FF">OhanaUnited</font></b>]][[User talk:OhanaUnited|<b><font color="green"><sup>Talk page</sup></font></b>]] 23:27, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
:::::I've never seen it happen except in this case, so I guess an argument could be made that a bot isn't needed. But for me, that's not really the issue. I could imagine that those particular students would have felt just as "bitten" by a bot as by living editors, maybe even more so. The erroneous editing can be fixed. What cannot be as easily fixed is a bad student experience. But the bad experience can be ''prevented'', which is what I want to do. --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish|talk]]) 20:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
