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


 * Clicking this link (same as "user page" link above) will take you directly to your user page on Assassin's Creed wiki with no typing. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 17 Jun 2011 3:25 PM Pacific


 * Yeah, I did not understand that s/he meant his/her own entry. What I posted still applies if one is looking for anyone else’s, though. — Spike Toronto  7:53PM 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.

As logging in on one wikia does so globally wished to know if 'self's trail through the wikiamultiverse' (and not just the particular plane presently visited) could be indicated.

Shall we say that the question is answered for others curious about the matter. Jackiespeel 21:13, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Would it be possible to have a variant on the 'Wikia list of recent changes to pages followed' email to request a list of the wikis on Wikia one has 'done something to'? It would be occasionally useful, especially for those following topics across the Wikiaverse. If not, a note on the FAQ page explaining/directing to this page.

 * No, it's too much of a server strain. Wikia encourages to bookmark wikis you edit, although the userpage module works just as well, if not better.
 * You could be able to see someone's edits across wiki with Special:Editcount/, but it has the drawback of not being able to see what wikis they are on. It will, however, display their stats for the wiki it's being viewed on. --W H  (Talk) 09:21, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
