I see that to participate in certain activities on Wikipedia(i.e. voting for certain community decisions) requires a set number of contributions(500, IIRC). How can I count the contributions I(or any other user for that matter) have made? Thanks. -- Johnleemk 09:42, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Is there a way to find the current number of contributions of a particular user instantly? The way I do it now is to use the <next n> link successively from User contributions page and using lesser and lesser values of 'n' when the limit is reached until I get a page of 19 or less edits after which I manually count. This method - I found is rather ridiculous , and painstakingly slow. Is there a better way ? Why don't we have a line saying something like Displaying 500-550 of 4832 contributions or something similar. I would even prefer to have the number of minor edits, Talk Page edits, and other non-namespace edits displayed separately. I wasn't sure if there was a reason this has not been implemented yet. If people find this a good idea, can this be a new feature request? Thanks. Chancemill 13:53, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)
At a unix prompt, try curl "
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&hideminor=0&target=***username in question***t&limit=50000&offset=0" | wc
and then subtract 49 from the first number (line count). That's the fastest method I know of.

Perhaps this has already been discusseed, but is there an easy way (aside from counting and using fancy offsets on my contribs) to count my contributions? Does this involve running a Perl/Python script? Ilyanep (Talk) 00:36, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've been editing pages on Wikipedia for about a month now and I finally created an account today. However, all my past contributions are listed under my IP address rather than under my new account name. Is there a way to merge the old user contributions page to the new one? The one I want to merge from is Special:Contributions/67.176.36.191 and the one I want to merge into is Special:Contributions/Solarusdude. If it's possible and somebody can show me how to do that, that would be great.
Likewise. Can someone tell me or help me merge
Special:Contributions/64.221.225.232 into
Special:Contributions/Dchem?

Same boat. I forgot to sign in, and made three contributions as
Special:Contributions/66.63.88.90. How can I merge them with
Special:Contributions/Bob_Stein_-_VisiBone?
Is there a piece of code that i can put into my SpecialUserlist.php to get the total Number of Edits beside the User Name ? -- 193.81.188.250 13:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I have a Wikistalker and I'd like to ban him from watching my contribution lits. How can I do that? -- T-man, the wise 18:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
If you goto 'my watchlist', and you watchlist an article you've just created, you see an 'N' next to it, just like the 'm' if an edit is a minor one. However, when you goto my contributions, it doesn't give you the N for the edits you made which created an article. This would be useful to count the number of articles one has created (or just to identify them). I don't know who is in charge of what's on that page or whatnot, but I would like to make it a suggestion to the appropriate body... TheHYPO 06:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
