Forum:Activities across Wikia

This has probably been asked/discussed before - but is there a way of seeing one's contributions across the Wikiaverse? Jackiespeel 21:19, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * No the best solution is to go to a wiki with the new profile style such as My wiki and search for the user. It will show their top 5 wikis and how many edits they have there.--


 * Not really. The closest you can get easily is the "Top wikis" at the upper right of your user page on a few special wikis like Assassin's Creed wiki. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 16 Jun 2011 2:24 PM Pacific


 * I think God and Fan are saying the same thing, just in different ways. I do it as Fandyllic outlined it. Just type in the search box a string like this:" w:c:assassinscreed:User: desired name"Substitute desired name with the name of the person for whom you are looking. However, I seem to remember in another forum thread it being pointed out that"a user can choose to hide some of the wikis that he/she has been active at, so it's not a truly reliable way to check whether a user has bee[n] doing mischief elsewhere."So, be forewarned as to its usefulness and reliability; although, I do use it. :) — Spike Toronto  12:57AM EDT, June 17, 2011

The question was seeing one's #own# contributions across Wikia - which has various uses. Some of us prefer the simpler methods (and don't go for anything more than occasional 'scrambled typing' and 'dreadful jokes') Jackiespeel 08:50, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the way they mentioned is the only way, and it's only half a solution. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  10:25, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

'Request number XXX on the Wikia improvements list' then (g). Jackiespeel 10:33, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I should correct myself... the way the others mentioned is the only way we can do it. There is actually a tool staff/helpers/vstf have access to, Special:Lookupcontribs, which gives you global contributions of any user. However, it does use a lot of server resources (and can also reveal stalkerish too much information about other users), making it unsuitable for general use.
