Wikipedia:Quiz view
 | This proposal has become dormant through lack of discussion by the community. It is inactive but retained for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion on this subject, try using the talk page or start a discussion at the village pump. |
This is a proposal for a process to enable the conversion of articles into quizzes. A convenient word for this conversion would be quizzification, but it already has a different meaning, which is not the meaning desired here.
There can be a new tab ("quiz") added at the top of a page which has undergone this process. Clicking on the tab converts a quiz-enabled article from lesson view to quiz view. Clicking on the tab "article" converts a quiz back to lesson view.
(Enabling submission and processing of answers might be too great a challenge.)
Here is an example of a paragraph revised to enable the conversion. It is the first paragraph of the article "Wikipedia" (version of 00:56, 15 June 2015).
