[edit] Proposal: useful links
I propose putting some useful links into this block, like it's done in fr:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer and ru:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer. Note: this block is displayed at the bottom of user contribution pages. Example:
User subpages · Editcount · Created pages · Uploaded images · Registration date ·
Users with the same name in other projectsI think it might be very handy for many users. Unfortunately «Editcount» and «Uploaded images» should probably be removed for enwiki. — Alex Smotrov 23:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Uploaded images is not necessary. You can always pick Special:log/Upload for the user and click from there. Editcount is not necessary; try to get community consensus to write the editcount on top of Special:Contributions directly, as there is a user_editcount field in the database tables. The rest are rather slow queries, and I'm worried about the effect this could have on the toolserver. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 23:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, Newusers only works for accounts created after the New user log extension was enabled. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 23:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not crazy about any of the toolserver stuff except possibly the accounts in other projects, since the toolserver doesn't update for en anyway, and the possible server load, as Titoxd says, gives one pause (remember that en has many times more traffic than fr or ru). Newusers seems useful, since what one really wants to know is if an account is +/- four days, so it doesn't matter if old farts like me have no log entry. If you can write a non-obtrusive layout for just the prefixindex and newusers entries, and there are no objections, I'd be willing to add those two. Chick Bowen 03:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Mostly a bit redundant. If anyone wants to know what pages I have created, they only need to read my user page. I don't really like to advertise my edit count, because it's not a competition. And my sub-pages are linked for all to see. What I'm saying is; because it's personal choice whether that data is prominently available or not, we all tend to have our own preferences about how it is made available. Adrian M.

[edit] Interwiki
By the way, I've added interwikis to this page (as for Recent Changes), after a suggestion by User:Shalom. --ais523 18:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

- Please remove this extra 9KB interwiki list and add something really useful instead: «Users with the same name in other projects» link from the proposition above. Interwiki can go into MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon per original intention to fight vandalism ∴ AlexSm 19:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I noticed this change too and can't figure out why adding a huge list of interwikis, of which probably over 99% will be non-working, would be useful. I have commented out the list. Prolog (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I thought of that, but I suppose that the point is that you can easily check the targets to establish that they don't exist. Happy to discuss, though. I suppose it would be even more useful if only the existing ones were displayed, but that would require SUL... --ais523 12:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- The 'Users with the same name in other projects' link is dead for me at the moment. --ais523 12:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
