reply to #50 Not the first time I have been wrong and probably won't the the last. Thanks for pointing this out. - reply to #51 Not sure I follow what you are saying in your first paragraph. However, as long as it doesn't really matter, there is no need to clarify.

Actually, if we are going to be writing more JS, we can use the API to get the same edit count as displayed in the masthead (instead of using Special:Editcount). As for the last edit, we could; but it would be pointlessly convoluted. The edit count solution takes advantage of the fact the there is already a special page that lists a users edit count and that the page is transcludable. Not all special pages are transcludable. What we can do is make a template like we did for the avatar; which is practically the same in that you simply transclude a page that is defined somewhere else. - Edit:

With what RickGT found, it would also be possible to list a user's first edit and/or how long they have been editing on the wiki; if either of those are of interest to you.
