Template talk:Editcount
This template was considered for deletion on 2006 November 9. The result of the discussion was "keep". |
Opening heading[edit]
This is a really good idea, but it has a flaw: It doesn't work for usernames that include spaces. Edit count for NSRworks fine.Edit count for Sonic_Mewdoesn't.Note that it works when manually typing a User name into the edit counter.Leaving the space in creates this: Edit count for Sonic Mew, and leaving it out won't do much good either: Edit count for SonicMew-Sonic Mew July 9, 2005 18:08 (UTC)
- It has to do with the whole underscore thing. --AllyUnion (talk) 00:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Try Edit count for Sonic+Mew. TZMT (de:T) 13:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Updated code - working again :)[edit]
{{Editprotected}}
I've rewritten this code. The wannabe_kate tool seems to be down permanently since late 2008. (I see that User:Interiot left in December 2007). The new code uses the soxred93 tool. Functionality in the new code is identical to before but has been extended to allow a custom link text. The issue mentioned above is also fixed. The result of the update will be a resumption of normal service for editors currently using the template, bug fixes compared to the old code and an extension of functionality.
The new code is:
[http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:{{{1}}}}}&lang={{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}&wiki=wikipedia {{{2|Edit count for {{{1}}}}}}]
An administrator will need to make this chance since the template is locked. The new code can be seen from my sandbox for now:
Code | Result |

{{Editcount | Rannpháirtí anaithnid}}

Edit count for Rannpháirtí anaithnid |

More parameters[edit]
Hi. Can this template allow more parameters? I mean language and family. I would like to link to users in other projects. Thanks. emijrp (talk) 17:55, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Edit request[edit]
{{editprotected}}
Could someone wrap the template in <span class="plainlinks">...</span>
? The result would look something like this:

The ToolServer link to the new WMFLabs link. Here's a updated sandbox one. ///EuroCarGT 01:12, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Done. I unprotected the page as well, seeing as there were less than 200 transclusions and they were mostly in the user namespace. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:47, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

The base url has changed. The base url redirects to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec
The url in the example https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Jimbo+Wales&project=en.wikipedia
now redirects to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia/Jimbo%20Wales
And should be updated.--Auric talk 15:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- On hold @Auric: please make your change in the sandbox (Template:Editcount/sandbox), test it - then reactivate the edit request when ready. — xaosflux Talk 17:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Spaces in template don't work[edit]
When using spaces in the template (such as Edit count for Jimbo Wales), the spaces will be replaced by a plus instead of the correct %20. Dudhhr (talk) 02:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please replace {{urlencode:{{{1}}}}} with {{urlencode:{{{1}}}|PATH}} so that the template uses the correct %20 required in the URL as a substitute for a space. Implemented in the sandbox, templates on test page working correctly. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 16:07, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- To editor Dudhhr: done, and thank you both very much! P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 20:25, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
